Ingrid Schoeller is a sultry German actress and the star of our film. In this James Bond rip-off, the sexy actress dominates the screen and even when she is not on it, we long for her entrance into the scene. She'll be clad in revealing evening gowns, perky and fashionable dresses, swimsuits, ski outfits, and other formal wear. Sequins or satin, the dame looks like she belongs in them. Yep, today we have a James Bond rip-off from Italy, "008: Operation Exterminate," directed by Umberto Lenzi.
An anti-radar invention has been stolen and if it comes under the wrong hands, the free world will be endangered! Don't ask. The Brits send their best agent, Frank (Alberto Lupo), aka Agent 606. He meets the American superspy, Agent 008 (Schoeller) in Cairo where the plans for the invention were stolen. The two sexy beings team up and sexual tension erupts. 008's cover is the nightclub singer Piper Astor, and she wears the sexiest gowns while performing. 606's cover is gambler/playboy. The duo stick out and the seediest of Egyptian thugs move in to try to kill them. 008 is swept off her feet by the Japanese baddie, Tanaka (George Wang)...this won't go well for Tanaka. 606 is almost thrown off a tower, but kills his would-be assailant instead.
008 and 606 realize they are getting close to the man who stole the invention. Soon they realize the evil hotel manager, Kemp (Ivano Staccioli), is the culprit. He's very capable and arranges for 008 to be offed at a beauty institute...catfights will ensue. 008 has a plethora of gadgets including the obligatory lipstick tubes that spray nerve gas, and other deadly accessories. Frank battles his own would-be killers and prevails. The two manage to save one another's behinds and they eventually swap a lot of spit. Oh no! Surprises abound and the pretty 008 will be imperiled from surprising forces. As Frank gets beat up, and 008 is put under a spell to make her vulnerable to the advances of the bad guys, both spies need a bit of luck or they'll perish.
Will the Egyptian thugs and Kemp turn the tables on 008 and have their way with her? Will Frank break out of his binds and save the nubile spy? Can two spies, who make a living at deception and lies, trust one another? This film is the magnum opus for Ms. Schoeller and her presence on the screen is 99% of the enjoyment one would glean watching this Bond rip-off. For a highly seductive movie night, watch the beautiful Ingrid Schoeller in "008: Operation Exterminate."
