Originally titled ''OK Connery'' and released 1967 in the United States as ''Operation Kid Brother'', ''Operation Double 007'' is an Italian parody that [[FollowTheLeader cashed in on the popularity]] of Film/JamesBond which is known for:

* It stars Neil Connery, the younger brother of Creator/SeanConnery himself.
* In addition to co-starring Bond series regulars [[Creator/BernardLee Bernard "M" Lee]] and [[Creator/LoisMaxwell Lois "Moneypenny" Maxwell]], the cast also includes veteran 007 actors Creator/DanielaBianchi (Tatiana Romanova from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''), Creator/AdolfoCeli (Largo from ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'') and Anthony Dawson (Prof. Dent from ''Film/DrNo'' and Blofeld[[note]]physical performance only, dubbed by Eric Pohlmann[[/note]] in ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' and ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'').
* The score is by Music/EnnioMorricone. Yes, ''[[SpaghettiWestern that]]'' Ennio Morricone.
* The film was distributed by Creator/UnitedArtists even at the same time they were handling the legitimate ''Film/JamesBond'' film rights.

The plot involves some secret information on microfilm as well as other information stored in the mind of a woman through psychic means. Our hero is brought in to save the day after the bad guys (Thanatos) nab the woman with the mental information, and kill her husband to boot. Their plan? To rule the world. Why Neil? He was the woman's plastic surgeon, and just happens to also be a skilled hypnotist who knows how to open her NeuroVault. Although he turns out to have quite a few other talents...

!!Tropes:


* ActionGirl: Unexpectedly, Creator/LoisMaxwell's Moneypenny expy is much more action-oriented than in the official film series, even carrying a mini machine gun.
* AmazonBrigade[=/=]BodyguardBabes: Beta has them as half of the crew on his luxury yacht when they're not out doing his dirty work for him.
* ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics: One MacGuffin is an "atomic nucleus." Strictly speaking, the villain should already have billions of trillions of them. Calling it an "atomic/nuclear bomb core" could have fixed the confusion.
* AsHimself: Neil Connery plays... Neil Connery, only the MartyStu version. [[invoked]]
* BilingualBackfire: Neil tries to pretend to be one of the blind Turkish workers when he unexpectedly runs into Beta, and speaks Arabic to him. However, Beta reveals that he understands Arabic perfectly well, and unfortunately Neil's ability with the language "dates from the time of the Crusades."
* CelebrityParadox: Apparently, Creator/SeanConnery is the UK's top agent, not Film/JamesBond. Say what?
* ChekhovsGun: Two examples from the uncut version -- Mildred's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_knife ballistic knife]] and a special powder that Beta mixes into his champagne. [[spoiler:He uses such a knife to kill Alpha and the powder protects him from Alpha's poisoned water.]]
* ChekhovsSkill: Neil’s lip reading ability.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The agent who had to ditch his wedding in Spain just happens to be honeymooning in Germany when Neil meets back up with him before the final showdown.
* CurbStompBattle: Once Maya alerts her henchwomen Beta will kill them, their battle against his thugs atop the yacht (along with Neil taking on Beta and a few of his men inside) is pretty much one-sided, even before they switch from fisticuffs to gun-play.
* DisposableWoman: The first half of the movie is devoted to tracking down the kidnapped Yasuko for her NeuroVault. As soon as she gives up the necessary PlotCoupon, she is shot by the local FemmeFatale, who is herself shot by some other guy before a minute has even passed, just to get these characters out of the way. Neil's DullSurprise at the ''death of his own patient'' sure sums up how the movie treats women. Then again, Maya and her fellow ladies hold their own in the yacht scene, so at least they avert this trope.
* DreadfulMusician: The band performing at the airport. Neil looks visibly annoyed having to stand next to them.
* {{Expy}}: In addition to the Moneypenny and M expies, one of the villains is pretty clearly based off of [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove Rosa Klebb]], except somewhat nicer, and more obviously lesbian. Adolfo Celi also plays a variation of his character from ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''.
* FemmeFatale: Mildred, who is ordered to flirt with Connery and isn't all too subtle about it. So much so that Neil easily extracts important information from her after their third "chance" encounter. [[spoiler:She dies right after Yasuko.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: Pause when Maya & her villainesses finish camouflaging the vehicle. The text says "The Wild Pussy Club." If Joel & the 'Bots noticed it, it was presumably "too hot to riff."
* HollywoodMagnetism: Thanatos' plot is to build a huge electromagnetic device that renders all metallic devices (including guns) useless, which is why the last battle involves horses and long bows.
* HypnoticEyes: Neil's character is a skilled hypnotist to the point where he can send rather complex commands, ''using just his eyes''.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: One spy uses a ballistic knife, and quite well.
* InstantDeathStab: The man guarding Miss Yasuko is stabbed in the chest by a blade shot from a spring-loaded knife. He doesn't utter a sound and falls dead in about three seconds.
* KarmaHoudini: Maya and her girls get off for all the crimes they committed for Thanatos -- including murder and stealing a nuclear weapon -- because they turned against Beta in self-defense.
* KilledMidSentence: Yasuko is murdered while Neil is questioning her under hypnosis, mainly because [[IdiotBall he does so in an open area by himself instead of waiting to take her to a secure area first or at least getting someone to guard them]].
* MeetCute: Mildred, a Thanatos agent sent to seduce and interrogate Neil, does this with him. Three times. In several wildly distant locations, making him running into her while she's allegedly trying to find something so many times downright suspicious. By the third time, Neil figures out that she's doing it on purpose and proceeds to hypnotize and interrogate her.
* MookFaceTurn: Beta's AmazonBrigade turns on him once Neil tells their leader that they're about to be on the wrong side of Beta's ChronicBackstabbingDisorder. They end up sailing away with Neil on Beta's yacht.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Thanatos. In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the personification of Death. Does that sound like the name of anything that's up to any good?
* NeuroVault: The Asian woman that Neil performed plastic surgery on was hypnotized to remember plot-critical information that she can only discuss while hypnotized; Neil is one of the only hypnotists capable of getting her to repeat the information.
* ObviousStuntDouble: The guy in the fight scene with Neil in the long shots is noticeably skinnier than Adolfo Celi; he looks more like Steve Martin.
* PlotHole: What the radioactive rugs would be used for is never really explained. The newly-married agent explains that they're being shipped to Istanbul. But the "device-jamming machine" is in Germany...
* PrettyInMink: When Mildred first meets Neil, she's dressed as a {{socialite}}, complete with a white fox hat and muff.
* SameLanguageDub: Neil's dialogue was dubbed by an American actor. This was because Connery was had appendicitis while English voice dubbing of the film was in progress. (Ironically, Connery was originally noticed and considered for this film based on the producer hearing his Sean-like speaking voice on the radio.) On the other hand, M and Miss Maxwell were dubbed by their original actors (Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell respectively).
* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: While a pub isn't involved, the AmazonBrigade sent to obtain the "atomic nucleus" dresses up in can-can dancer costumes (also, skunk costumes; for some reason) and pretends to have a breakdown, using their frilly skirts to flag down the hapless soldiers guarding it. Some poison darts later...
* TheStarscream: Beta plans to create a BodyDouble of Alpha, then murder his boss and put his lookalike flunky in his place, making him de facto leader of Thanatos. He makes three totally unnecessary mistakes while doing so. First, he tells other members of the Thanatos council about it. Second, he does so without having even secured the services of the plastic surgeon needed to create the double, much less created the double. Third, the only plastic surgeon he can think of employing is Neil, who by that point is a known enemy.
* WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain: At the end of the film, M says that Connery did so well that he'd like to offer him a permanent position. Connery promptly hypnotizes him into forgetting that he'd planned on making the offer and returning to London.
