Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Uriah43 In this film the United States is working on an experimental spaceship that resembles a flying saucer. To pilot it they have enlisted the aid of an I.C.E. agent by the name of "Sheila Sommers" (Janice Rule). Upon takeoff everything is fine until it is commandeered by remote control across the border into Mexico. A week or so later Sheila is found wandering out of the jungle with no memory of what has happened to her other than her complete fear of men. It is at this point that Matt Helm (Dean Martin) is tasked with locating the flying saucer. So with Sheila under the illusion that Matt is her husband, they go to Acapulco to investigate. Anyway, like almost all Matt Helm films this one has plenty of action and scantily clad women to keep most men's interest for a good portion of the time. However, the movie seemed to drift from one scenario to another a bit too quickly, the dialogue was somewhat flat and everything seemed to lack cohesion. But both Dean Martin and Janice Rule performed in an adequate manner and while it could have possibly been written better I will go out on a limb and give it average rating.

Simon Foster I'd like to know more about the people writing negative reviews of a movie like this: how old are they? were they even alive during the 60s? This movie is a product of a different age. It was a simpler time. You could get away with making movies that had this kind of production values, script and, yes - allusions to rape in an action-comedy notwithstanding - moral values (I'm not saying they're high, they're just an indicator of the time).Do you watch Charlie Chaplin or Laurel & Hardy and complain about the cinematography? You're watching a movie from the 60s guys - it's a time capsule. It can teach you about what life was like then, because at the time the Matt Helm movies were all completely acceptable and even successful.I dread to think how you lot would handle a 'Carry On' film - yet they were some of the most successful movies ever made in England. You'd probably brand them sexist, vulgar, childish and uninventive though...duh!

hoosierwood Some think this is the worst. I say it is the best. A must see Austin Powers fans. Matt Helm inspired the rotating round bed. This movie had the gun in the bra (Fembots) and the Arab assassin. Co-star Janic Rule was great as a fellow agent. The dialog was like Steed and Miss Peale. Better than the past Helm females that were comic relief. The story was put together well, a bit silly about a flying saucer that only women can operate, but the plot line was solid. Not much filler action or girl scenes. Great location shot and the jazzed Mexican background music fit just right. Good action scene in the beer factory. The lifting machines used to lift kegs may have inspired the fight in the Alien film. A fun film.

bob the moo During a test run, an experimental American flying disk is captured by an unknown force. It's pilot, an ICE agent is also captured and only found months later wandering in the jungle frightened and disorientated. She is teamed with the only agent who can make her normal – Matt Helm. The two go to the area she was found to investigate the whereabouts of the lost saucer.I think I have seen all the Matt Helm films (which I hope will serve as my punishment rather than Hell!) and I don't know why I keep going back. I have seen them out of order and this is one of the last I saw (despite being the second or third of the series). Safe to say, any merit that the first film had is gone even by this early stage. The `plot' is silly and ignored for the most part – instead we just have as many beautiful girls for Helm to kiss and goons for him to fight as possible. I know it is a spoof but it isn't funny and is woeful rather than mocking.The girls are all beautiful and if you're just looking for playful titillation then this may suffice. They all wear low cut tops and short skirts, showing bellies etc when possible – and if there is any opportunity for a costume to get ripped then it gets ripped! However it does begin to tire a little when Martin turns up. He is lazy in the lead – just content to touch the girls as much as he can. He does do a few good jokes (like having a few Sinatra records around the place) but really this is one big ego trip for him. The villains are unmemorable and without teeth and the only members of the cast you're left remembering is Janice Rule (the original Ja Rule!) and the really sexy Senta Berger– both of whom are sadly only used for their looks.Overall the girls are the only reason to watch this – and even that is not really worth putting yourself through this for. The comedy is dire, the plot weak and Dean Martin hardly even tries to do a good job. Another weak entry in a very weak series.
