Operation Kid Brother
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. However, the well-known British secret agent normally assigned to such tasks isn't available, so they engage his civilian brother, Neil, to help. 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.
Review Sentiment
Neil defeats Thayer in final archery duel at base
Neil Connery demonstrates plastic surgery techniques at conference
The film rises from its lowest point during Neil's cringe-worthy medical conference introduction to its peak with the entertaining archery duel finale.
Operation Kid Brother starts poorly with reviewers finding Neil Connery's introduction as a hypnotic plastic surgeon pathetic and groan-inducing. The middle sections benefit from exotic locations, attractive actresses, and the novelty of seeing Bond veterans in new roles, though the nonsensical plot remains problematic. The film recovers somewhat in its finale with an archery duel that multiple reviewers specifically praised as entertaining.
