Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Jeffery Abdullah This movie which was the malay version of James Bond,( similar to Dr No. Sean Connery ) was acted by a popular gorgeous actor named Jins Shamsuddin as Jefri Zain. In this movie, he drove a left-hand drive 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe with a special license plate "JZ1" ( means Jefri Zain 1). This beautiful sports coupe had been specially imported for the making of this movie. Vehicles in Singapore are right-hand drive only. Not to forget, his terrace house which was located in Serangoon Garden Way was also the headquarter with a special passage way to the underground. Some of the locations that were filmed such as Changi Beach, Capitol Theatre (located on the corner between Stamford Road / North Bridge Road ), Adelphi Hotel ( which had been demolished ), terrace house in Serangoon Garden Way and etc. You can also see the old taxis in Singapore which had the "H" sign on the side of the rear door. The whole entire movie was filmed in Singapore in 1966. My comments about this movie is fabulous. All viewers should watch this fabulous movie.
DICK STEEL Touted as Singapore's own James Bond, it's of no surprise that this movie borrows heavily from Dr No. From plentiful buxomy bikini clad babes, to the familiar signature tune (yes, it is played, and so easily identifiable), you must view this movie in the same nature as Cleopatra Wong and Ring of Fury to enjoy it thoroughly.The first time we see Jefri Zain, secret agent extrodinaire, is at Changi Beach, where he is having a great time frolicking with beach chicks. He chances upon his compatriot Ali, whose lifeless body is washed ashore. Picking up Ali's lighter-camera gadget, he returns to his home in his Mercedes sports car (no, no Aston Martin here, but the number plate's JZ1, dig it?) to investigate further.And yes, his home is the local headquarters of their organization (we're never told what it is, neither which country do they work for), with the secret entrance beneath his bathtub! We see the equivalent of Q and Moneypenny, who doubles up as a Bond girl in the second half of the movie. There's even a similar scene to Ursela Andress' famous bikini emerging from the sea, though you've got to trade the bikini for the baju here.However, the villains are where the laughs are at. A clandestine terrorist cell living in an extremely large underground bunker lair (stretches with entrances from some offshore island, and the mainland), with minions by the hundreds. Their motive is strangely unknown, and their commander is no Dr No or Blofeld though. Actually, there are quite a number of scenes which doesn't explain themselves, like leading Jefri around their lair in a tour like manner (to show off their training doctrine?) With subordinates like Number 4 and Botak, they take pride in their various plots to defeat Jefri Zain.As with Bond villains, they have a torture chamber (Room X) with elaborate devices (water, freezer, heater, etc), but gives our heroes some 30 minutes of free time as they presumably go for a smoke break. There's a funny scene here though, with the female bra used as a plot device, hiding a miniature gun, and a homing device.Speaking of devices, this movie is no short of gadgets like pen-guns, exploding cigarettes, flash-bang lighters, tracking devices, bracelets that spew acid, and extremely huge radio communication devices. They might seem low tech today (even the old Bond films seem low tech), but back in the 60s, they must have been a blast with the audience.The acting's cheesy by today's standards, but you can see that the actors do take their roles quite seriously. The character and suaveness of Jefry Zain models after Connery's Bond, as he bitchslaps woman around, and in one swift and rough motion, can rip off their dresses (gee...). What digs also is the premise of the film, as we get to see Singapore in the 60s, with foot chases around town (Capitol theatre anyone?), the old vehicles, Clifford Pier, and the various characters used in this film - Chinese, Malay, Indian, Ang Moh too.Extremely campy to watch these days, it plays out like an Austin Powers meets Get Smart movie, but nonetheless, FUN!
