Made at a time when imitation James Bonds frequently appeared in the world's cinemas, this minor but amusing Mexican entry in that cycle features a lot of the usual Bondisms from the 1960s: evil women in beehive hairdos, go-go dancers in gold boots, men in narrow neckties, a criminal mastermind in a motorized chair, fast cars, flying bullets, elaborate gadgetry, a ladies-man of a hero who -- with the punch of a button -- can play seductive music in his bedroom, etc.
Jorge Rivero, about 30 years old and at his physical peak, makes a handsome leading man and the movie isn't shy about spotlighting his physical attributes. Less than five minutes after the movie starts, he's stripped off his shirt for a romp in an over-sized tub with a couple of eye-candy babes. He's later seen, again stripped to the waist, for a torture-chamber scene in which he's flogged across the back. This flogging ranks 12th in the book, "Lash! The Hundred Great Scenes of Men Being Whipped in the Movies." As usual in Bond movies, the female parts tend to be interchangeable and many details of the plot remain obscure, but this still remains a passable diversion.
