Film Dope


Danger!! Death Ray

Il Raggio infernale
Nido de espías

1967

Gianfranco Baldonello
Director
(as Frank G. Carroll)

Super spy Bart Fargo has to recover the eponymous device from a terrorist group bent on ill-defined world domination.

Hardly deserving of the lowly 2.2 it has on IMDb, largely a result of mass downvoting by the witless element of the MST3K fandom. It's actually a pretty fun film, and it's also pretty obvious the makers intended this as a spoof - something the MST3K writers (who by and large are much smarter than their fans) took note of - they appear to be enjoying the film in its silliness, as was intended, even if mocking a spoof is sort of dumb.

Massimo Righi's henchman turned good sort of sets this film apart from other Europsy films, and the fight scenes are pretty good - no stunt doubles here. Whatever you think of it, you can't disagree that Gianni Ferrio's theme song isn't catchy as hell!

Bapa-dop-a-da da, ba-da-da-da-da-BRA!
