Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S05/E08 Operation Double 007
Film watched: OK Connery aka Operation Kid Brother aka Operation Double 007
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains these tropes:
- Brick Joke: Torgo finally comes back with the Mr. Pibb that he forgot to bring in with the pizza back in Manos the Hands of Fate.
- Funny Aneurysm Moment: Crow mentions that Connery probably hypnotized Maya into liking him at the end of the movie. Turns out that, in a cut scene, Maya makes a similar comment to Neil, only much earlier.
- Plot Hole: Several are introduced due to having to cut the movie for time.
- The incident that leads Beta to want to kill Alpha (and how he actually does it).
- Neil and Beta's first meeting at the archery competition in Monte Carlo.
- The explanation behind the "Operation Double 00-Heehaw" joke. The agents are disguised as gardeners for the villa.
- Neil attempting to refuse to continue the mission after Yasuko is killed and how he ends up both in Tetuan and Beta's party.
- How Neil's archery buddies ended up being so readily available for the final battle. He had them flown to Germany.
- Now Neil and Maya find the Thanatos HQ by tracking the radioactive rugs with a long-range Geiger counter.
- Running Gag: "I know."
- Jokes about Neil and his brother. "May I just remind you that your name is Neil Connery? Get on the plane!"
Maya: (To Neil) You've been reading too many novels by Fleming. |
- This one doubles as a Shout-Out during the final confrontation between Neil and Beta.
