Sean wasn’t available, but his brother and half the Bond cast were—what could possibly go wrong?

Programmer's Pick

If you ever wondered what would happen if James Bond’s brother moonlighted as a hypnotist plastic surgeon, Operation Kid Brother delivers answers you didn’t know you needed. Neil Connery’s civilian skills are as improbable as the plot, while the parade of Bond alumni makes this Eurospy spoof a psychotronic oddity worth a double take.

The evil crime syndicate Thanatos is bent on taking over the world, using a magnetic wave generator that will cause all metal-based machinery to grind to a halt.

Neil, played by Neil Connery, is a world-class plastic surgeon, hypnotist, and lip-reader, which turn out to be precisely the skills required for thwarting Thanatos.
