The Nude Bomb (1980) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

Fun parody of the James Bond films, but where's Barbara Feldon?

Released in 1980 and directed by Clive Donner, "The Nude Bomb" brings back Don Adams as the bumbling agent Maxwell Smart in this parody of spy flicks, mostly the 007 franchise. Andrea Howard plays his new assistant, Agent 22, while Vittorio Gassman is on hand as the villain, an ee-vil fashion designer who blackmails the clothes-wearing public with the threat of total nudity via a "Nude Bomb." Pamela Hensley and Sylvia Kristel play two other female agents. Rhonda Fleming is also on hand. Coming out a decade after the demise of the Get Smart TV series that ran from 1965-1970, fans of the show tended to reject this movie version because it eliminated practically the entire peripheral cast and changed the good-guy organization from CONTROL to PITS, although it kept KAOS. The plot is just an excuse to string together as many mildly amusing silly gags as possible with the requisite low-budget set pieces and Bond-ian spoofs. The sequences include skydiving (Reminiscent of Roger Moore's stint as 007), exposition on secret agent weapons, a long chase at Universal City, a Switzerland ski segment, the secret hideout in a mountain and more. The big question is: Where is Barbara Feldon, who played Agent 99 on the series? Adams was told she turned the movie down, but she later informed him that she wasn't even contacted by the producers, likely because she was 45 at the time and they wanted a younger actress. This was a big mistake. But she returned for the TV movie "Get Smart, Again" in 1989, as well as a failed new Get Smart series in 1995.If you can forgive the deviances from the show, this is a fun, somewhat amusing parody with a couple of laugh-out-loud scenes (e.g. the magazine at the newsstand). Unfortunately, the director has little eye for women and the flick generally drops the ball in this mandatory area. Still, it works as a comical period piece. ADDITIONAL ACTORS: Dana Elcar, Norman Lloyd, Bill Dana, Gary Imhoff and Sarah Rush. The film runs 94 minutes and was shot in at Universal Studios and Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California.GRADE: B-

Not so good

Being a fan of the "Get Smart" TV show since I was a teen, I actively sought out this movie at the rental store. I was, needless to say, disappointed.

The plot revolves around a destructive weapon that would destroy all clothing, hence the title of the movie "The Nude Bomb." Now, I'm OK with an absurd plot, because it's supposed to be parody. The "Get Smart" TV series did a great job of poking fun at the James Bond mystique, long before Austin Powers.

There are several strikes against this movie. First, and most importantly, Barbara Feldon, the actress who played Agent 99 in the TV series is nowhere to be found. A huge part of the appeal of "Get Smart" was the chemistry between 86 and 99. None here.

Second, the movie came out ten full years after the TV show ended. What may have been funny in 1970 was not so much in 1980.

I expect more from Mel Brooks. Especially since this came out in the same year as "History of the World, Part 1," another Mel Brooks film For a better Maxwell Smart/Mel Brooks fix, go to the old series, see "History of the World Part I" or check out Inspector Gadget.
