Golden Eyes - 1968 - 6/10
AKA - Hyappatsu hyakuchû: Ôgon no me

After the opening chase, a helicopter with skyhook chasing fleeing chauffeur, the “plot” gears up.
At the center is a gold smuggling cartel.
Justice includes the Japanese police, Interpol, a female race driver and an insurance investigator.
Double crosses are everywhere!
Spy fever was at a height, as were spoofs (Matt Helm, Derek Flint, Max Smart, Lemmy Caution, Shandigor).
This boasts weird assassination attempts, preposterous shootouts, a jazzy score, and silly humor.
If you are in the mood, if you enjoy these carefree parodies, this rollicks along.
