You won't be disappointed!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

What I want to know is how can a picture called the Nude Bomb could get a PG rating. Yeah, I would actually like to know this. This quote is the quote that appears at the beginning of this movie and it is the one thing that stuck in my mind when I first saw it years ago. Personally I think that the Nude Bomb is a classic for the reason of this one statement, though when we do go to watch it there are numerous other aspects with make quite classy in itself.The Nude Bomb is a movie about a secret agent named Maxwell Smart, the famous agent from the series Get Smart. Now I do not have the information as to the dates of the series, but what I do know is that what occurs in this movie comes straight from the series. We have Smart's infamous shoe phone, his quotes, his clumsiness, and his attempt to intimidate the bad guys by telling them that they are surrounded by good guys. The funny thing about Smart is that the guy is so stupid that he will never admit defeat. It is not that he is strong and confident about his strength, but rather that he believes that the most stupid of statements is liable to go his way. The bizarre thing is that they generally delay the bad guys long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Oh, and they also have the cone of silence.Kaos, the international organisation of evil has devised a bomb to turn the world nude and demand a ransom of 20 billion dollars. In fact they decide to charge the world rent. The curious thing about that is that firstly Max does not believe in the existence of a nude bomb, and secondly they seem to look on the bright side of things.I can't remember much about the series, but the only original actors are Maxwell Smart (Don Adams), Laramy, and I think Agent 13, the one that seems to hide in those ridiculous places. Agent 99 (who later becomes Max's wife) is replaced with Agent 22 and the movie develops a bit of a romantic thing there which is more of a payout to James Bond than anything else.I guess if you like Get Smart then you should like the Nude Bomb. My sister didn't like it, and she is a Get Smart fan. I haven't really watched the series for a while, but thought that this movie was great. Especially the quote at the beginning.

Ten years after the 'Get Smart!' sitcom ended, Don Adams was back as 'Maxwell Smart' a.k.a. Agent 86 of Control ( renamed P.I.T.S. ), this time on the big screen in 'The Nude Bomb'. Masked KAOS villain Sauvage ( Vittorio Gassman ) has a weapon that destroys all fabric, and plans to turn everyone in the world naked unless his demands are met. His secret headquarters is inside a hollowed-out mountain, accessible only through a giant zip. Smart is given a new team of agents to work with, one of which is the stunning Agent 36 ( Pamela Hensley, best remembered as 'Princess Ardala' from 'Buck Rogers In The 25th Century' ). Another is vanishing expert Agent 22 ( Princess Diana lookalike-Andrea Howard ).Ed Platt ( 'The Chief' ) had passed away, so Dana Elcar replaced him. Barbara Feldon declined to return as '99'. Apart from Adams, only Robert Karvelas was in the original ( as 'Larrabee' ).Bill Dana, Arne Sultan and Leonard Stern's script pokes fun at the the then recent Bond films 'Moonraker' ( most notably the sky diving opening ) and 'The Spy Who Loved Me' with its Jaws-like henchman whose artificial hand comes fitted with deadly gadgets. Sylvia Kristel ( of 'Emmanuelle' ) is given prominent billing, despite only being on screen for a few minutes. She is cast as Agent 34, whom Max encounters in Innsbruck. It is hard to recognise her with her clothes on.While it is good to have a 'Get Smart!' movie with Don Adams in the lead, Max seems strangely out of place in the disco era ( giving him profanities to say and having him leer at women was also a mistake ). The absences of '99', 'Hymie' the robot, and KAOS villain 'Siegfried' proved a handicap. Adams does not have the same chemistry with Howard as he had with Feldon. The script provides plenty of excuses for physical comedy, but is not really all that funny. The chase through the Universal Studios Tour looks like product placement.The other annoying thing is that the 'nude bomb' idea is not fully developed. It would have been amusing to see the U.S. President suddenly rendered stark naked in the middle of a major speech, for instance, but never happens ( how could they have avoided having Pamela Hensley in the buff? It would have turned this movie into a smash to rival 'Star Wars' ).There are some funny moments scattered about. When Max and 22 arrive at the villain's headquarters, the giant zip is pulled down, and he tells her to look away as "there's no telling what may come out of that thing!". When a clone of The Chief flees from Max's apartment, he gives chase using his desk ( yes, I said, desk! ). The incredible finale has Max and Sauvage battle it out with the aid of an instant cloning machine! Directed by Clive Donner, also responsible for the films 'What's New Pussycat?' and 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush'. 'Bomb' was not a hit and later played on television as 'The Return Of Maxwell Smart'. As spy spoofs go, it is much better than 'Johnny English' and the ultra-crude 'Austin Powers' series, despite not being generally liked by fans of the show. In 1989, a made-for-television movie - 'Get Smart Again!' - reunited Adams with Feldon and was much funnier.

"THE NUDE BOMB" looks and feels like a cheap attempt to resurrect a 60's TV show for 80's Movie audiences - a la "Star Trek". And it is. But there's nothing terribly wrong with the film, if only that it jettisons practically every character the "Get Smart!" show created and introduces an all-new spy agency for Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) to work for. The film might make die-hard fans a little disappointed, but casual viewers probably won't care.The plot makes very little sense - a evil fashion designer blackmails the clothes-wearing world with potential, full-blown nudity via The Nude Bomb - and it seems to zig-zag in an half-hearted attempt to string together as many mildly-silly gags, low-budget set pieces and James Bond-ian spoofs into it's brief running time. For a very tenuous plot point, Agent 86 ends up cavorting through many of the attractions of the Universal backlot in a lengthy chase scene that plays out as a mid-film "When In Southern California, Visit Universal Studios" advertisement. It serves less to the story than as a very visual and perhaps only reason why this film was greenlit by executives in the first place.But it does have it's charms. Pantyhosed Vittorio Gassman is a good villain, and of course Don Adams is a treat. Adams' energy and delivery does about as much as British director Clive ("What's New, Pussycat?") Donner to keep this thing moving. Agent 86's gadgets are inspired, and Don's bell-bottom slacks collection are also quite funny, although probably in only retrospect."THE NUDE BOMB" has a breezy pace, is relatively sunny and undemanding. The film and has some funny moments, including a nifty opening credit sequence and some zingy one-liners - and for that Maxwell Smart gets a pass - but of what could have been? Missed it by THAT much.

They may as well have tried to re-make Ben Hur with Woody Allen in the lead role! What were they thinking? Agent 86 without "99," Siegfried, agent 13? OK so they couldn't have done much about "Chief," since Ed Platt had died six years earlier! But this??? Max wasn't even Max in this de-mythologising of the GET SMART legend. (Incredibly, the subsequent movie GET SMART AGAIN nine years later, was way better!)Awkward, definitely not kosher and plodding to the point of disbelief, Adams "feels his way" through the film who's disparate plotline beggars belief (read some other reviews if you are that interested).Hugely disappointing and totally uninteresting. (I think I laughed twice!)
