What makes this James Bond parody quite interesting is that it quite successfully juxtaposes all the heterosexual stereotyping and language into an homosexual environment. The "Dr. Goodhead" & "Pussy Galore" characterisations renamed "Alec Du Coque" and "Katya Kokhov". The story - not that it matters - is of an evil hair salon owner who has devised a cunning plan to take over every hairdressers in the world by way of some secret formula and a satellite. British intelligence sends it's best agent ("009") - a very suave, dapper Davis Brooks to sort him out. Tom Read Wilson (his lovestruck sidekick - bears a passing resemblance to Rami Malek) and Paul Norton in his best Steven Berkoff role as the baddie have their tongues firmly planted somewhere (best not to ask). It's had some decent cash to play with; it's got all the gadgets, fast cars, designer suits and the photography, effects and style of the thing aren't at all bad. Sure, the humour is a bit puerile with loads of clumsy double-entendres - but hey, isn't James Bond?
