* BilingualBackfire: Neil tries to pretend to be one of the Turkish workers when he's unexpectedly met by the Thanatos leader, and speaks Arabic to him. However, the villain reveals that he understands Arabic perfectly well, and unfortunately Neil's ability with the language "dates from the time of the Crusades."

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:

Originally titled ''OK Connery'' and released 1967 in the United States as ''Operation Kid Brother'', ''Operation Double 007'' was an [[FollowTheLeader attempt to cash in on the popularity]] of Film/JamesBond that is particularly interesting for several reasons:

* 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.]]

* 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, thus at least they avert this trope.

* HollywoodMagnetism: Thanatos' plot is to build a huge electromagnetic device that renders all electronic devices (including guns) useless, which is why the last battle involves horses and long bows.

* 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.

* 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...

* SameLanguageDub: Neil's dialogue was dubbed by an American actor. This was because Connery was undergoing medical treatment for appendicitis when voice dubbing of the film was in progress for the English version and was unavailable (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...

* The score is by Music/EnnioMorricone. Yes, ''that'' Music/EnnioMorricone.

* It stars Neil Connery, the younger of Creator/SeanConnery himself.

* It stars Neil Connery, the "Kid Brother" of [[Creator/SeanConnery Sir Sean]].

* In addition to co-starring Bond series regulars 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'').

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 know how to open her NeuroVault. Although he turns out to have quite a few other talents...

* NeuroVault: The Asian woman that Neil performed plastic surgery on was hypnotized to remember plot-critical information; Neil is one of the only hypnotists capable of getting her to repeat the information.

* In addition to co-starring Bond series regulars Bernard ‘’M’’ Lee and [[Creator/LoisMaxwell Lois ‘’Moneypenny’’ Maxwell]], the cast also includes veteran 007 actors Daniela Bianchi (Tatiana Romanova from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''), Creator/AdolfoCeli (Largo from ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'') and Anthony Dawson (Prof. Dent from ''Film/DrNo'').

* SameLanguageDub: Neil's dialogue was dubbed by an American actor. This was because Connery was undergoing medical treatment for appendicitis when voice dubbing of the film was in progress for the English version and was unavailable (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). Lee played M in the official series from 1962 (''Film/DrNo'') to 1979 (''Film/{{Moonraker}}''), and Maxwell played Miss Moneypenny from 1962 (''Film/DrNo'') to 1985 (''Film/AViewToAKill'').

* {{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}}]].

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Thanatos.

* TheSchlubPubSeductionDeduction: While a pub isn't involved, the AmazonBrigade sent to obtain the "atomic nucleus" dresses up in can-can dancer costumes and pretends to have a breakdown, using their frilly skirts to flag down the hapless soldiers guarding it. Some poison darts later...
** Also, skunk costumes. For some reason.

* ActionGirl: Unexpectedly, Creator/LoisMaxwell's Moneypenny expy (in fact it wouldn't be until Creator/ThandieNewton took over the role in the 2010s that we'd see "Moneypenny" in this light again).

* CurbStompBattle: Once Maya alerts her henchwomen Beta will kill them, their battle against his thugs atop the yacht (along with Neil taking on Beta & 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.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: one spy uses a ballistic knife, and quite well.
