Mad Mission 3: Our Man from Bond Street

Oddly enough, then "Mad Mission 3: Our Man From Bond Street" (aka "Zui jia pai dang 3: Nu huang mi ling") was actually a lot more entertaining that I had initially anticipated it to be. I mean, the title of the movie wasn't really all that great. But for an action comedy that spoofs on other movies - thought mostly on the "James Bond" movies - then it actually fared quite well.

Needless to say that "Mad Mission 3: Our Man From Bond Street" is a blatant cash-in on the "James Bond" franchise, or perhaps even an homage. But director Hark Tsui actually managed to mix in a good amount of traditional late 1980s Hong Kong comedy to make it an interesting movie to say the least. And there is also a good amount of action, much akin to the Jackie Chan movies.

Now, I must say that I was impressed with the cast that they had managed to get together for this movie, especially with the likes of the non-Asian cast that made appearances in the movie.

While "Mad Mission 3: Our Man From Bond Street" was by no means a groundbreaking movie, it definitely provided for some adequate entertainment. And my rating of this 1984 movie is a six out of ten stars. However, keep in mind that the movie is much like a spoof in a way, so you shouldn't expect it to be a full-blown serious movie.
