''Operation Kid Brother'' was a 1967 comedy that was a spoof on the popular spy films of the time, particularly the [[James Bond]] series. In the film, world famous plastic surgeon and hypnotist Dr. Neil Connery (played by [[Neil Connery]], the younger brother of James Bond actor [[Sean Connery]]) is recruited by Commander Cunningham ([[Bernard Lee]]), the head of Allied Intelligence, to track down Yachuco, a girl who has some information about the plans of a daring robbery in her subconscious, who was kidnapped by THANATHOS, a criminal organization. In addition to [[Bernard Lee]] (who is better known to Bond fans as "M") several actors from the James Bond film series make appearances in this film including [[Lois Maxwell]], [[Adolfo Celi]], and [[Daniela Bianchi]]. | |||
The movie has also gone under the titles ''OK Connery'' as well as ''Operation Double 007'', which under the latter title was seen on the series ''Mystery Science Theater 3000''. | |||

Operation Kid Brother was a 1967 comedy that was a spoof on the popular spy films of the time, particularly the James Bond series. In the film, world famous plastic surgeon and hypnotist Dr. Neil Connery (played by Neil Connery, the younger brother of James Bond actor Sean Connery) is recruited by Commander Cunningham (Bernard Lee), the head of Allied Intelligence, to track down Yachuco, a girl who has some information about the plans of a daring robbery in her subconscious, who was kidnapped by THANATHOS, a criminal organization. In addition to Bernard Lee (who is better known to Bond fans as "M") several actors from the James Bond film series make appearances in this film including Lois Maxwell, Adolfo Celi, and Daniela Bianchi. The movie has also gone under the titles OK Connery as well as Operation Double 007, which under the latter title was seen on the series Mystery Science Theater 3000.
