Wonder Women (1973, Robert O'Neil)

Some Girls Do (1969, Ralph Thomas)

Sub and quasi Bonds anyone? Couldn't turn down Richard Johnson as Bulldog D, but that's for later ....

WW is only marred by me drifting off into a haze where I wondered about what if Jack Hill and Jess Franco had a baby ahem
Our rugged man of action has the deadest eyes, which just adds to the fun.
He is tasked with discovering the terrible Dr Tzu's plans for world dom, luckily their methods are ... not unshakeable a hoot, if a stodgy one.

More in tone with the JB and that is this somewhat stiffly crazed (Rank!) potboiler updated to be more "swinging maaaan" ahem. All the better for it, as it reminded me more of the Euro knock offs than an actual UK production, what with the totty and the totty and ... Robert (who gets) Morley than he bargains for ahem. Comedy sidekick best known to me as the cheery drunk from Carry On Cruising, so that made me laugh regardless of his general twittery. Worth seeing for RJ alone, who is unflappability personified.
