Programmer's Pick

Deadly Spygames gleefully lampoons the spy genre with killer robots, shark-infested waters, and a videotape that could end the world. Where else do you get a villainous wheelchair-bound Python barking orders and a nuclear blast in Cuba—all in under 90 minutes?

Overview

Deadly Spygames puts a tongue-in-cheek spin on the spy genre, following American Secret Agent Banner as he scours the globe in pursuit of a dangerous videotape. Banner is more handsome than Austin Powers and more sensitive than James Bond, but his mission is anything but easy. With the fate of world peace hanging in the balance, he faces off with Chastity—a determined leader bent on using the tape for blackmail—and the enigmatic Python, who directs operations from a wheelchair aboard a U.S. submarine. Expect parodic flair, including a killer robot, underwater shark fights, hot air balloon battles, and even a nuclear explosion in Cuba. This independent spoof blends action, comedy, and drama with a flair for the absurd.
