Woody Allen's directorial debut was an interesting experiment at the time: redubbing International Secret Police: A Barrel of Gunpowder and ISP: Key of Keys (two pre-existing Japanese James Bond-esque films) with comedic English dialogue (a definite early precursor to Mystery Sci... read more
After writing and appearing in the film, "What's New Pussycat?", Woody Allen was approached by producers to write an english language dub of the japanese spy thriller "International Secret Police: Key of Keys". He agreed to do it, but only if he could re-work the storyline, whic... read more
Um, I really hated it. And it pains me to say so because I love Woody so dearly. Unfunny, uncreative, and unintentionally confusing! Honestly I think I would've liked the ACTUAL sexploitation B-movie is Japanese versus this mess.
I thought it was funny the first time I saw it, but it really doesn't stand up to repeat viewing. Some very funny lines though..."Mom could always take a punch!"
It's funny and quite sexy. Dubbed foreign films always come across very badly, but when Woody Allen sets out to deliberately turn it into a comedy, its another story entirely. If you're a fan Mystery Science Theater or Woody Allen, you'll find yourself in heaven here.

Japanese spy flick dubbed into incomprehensible English; funny for a while but ultimately tedious
Hilarious Woody Allen comedy of dubbing.
reminds you of a time when Allen didn't have to try so hard Full Review
Clever, but not nearly as funny as it thinks it is.
Tasteless but grandly funny experiment.
Like a magazine piece, it allows Allen distance from the project
