Woody Allen took a Japanese spy movie called Kagi No Kagi, and replaced its original dialogue with an entirely new plot. In its revised state, this film follows the adventures of agent Phil Moskowitz who is on a deadly mission to secure the recipe for the "world's greatest egg salad." However, Moskowitz, with the help of the beautiful Suki and Terri Yaki, must prevent this unique recipe from falling into the hands of the evil Shepherd Wong. The group Lovin' Spoonful recorded the majority of the songs for this film. ~ Iotis Erlewine, Rovi

    Absurdity at it's best. Not so much a movie as someone playing a prank on you. If you're in on the joke, it's hilarious. If you've ever watched TV with the sound off and imagined funny things that the people are saying, well, this is the movie version of that. Totally hilarious. It will catch you off guard, always giving you the unexpected.

    Many years before Mystery Science Theater 3000 popularized making fun of bad films to a whole new generation, Woody Allen had a field day completely re-dubbing this unintentionally silly Japanese spy film into a very intentionally silly comedy about the search for the recipe for the perfect egg salad. It has a few dry spells, and personally I thought the spliced in musical numbers by The Lovin' Spoonful were pretty embarrassing in a now dated attempt to make the film hip. But where it's funny, it is very, very funny. And not only are there a slew of choice new lines, but the voice talents are all excellent, really capturing the awful, stiff voice acting we all got used to hearing in cheaply dubbed imports. A one-of-a kind comedy, and worth checking out if you're in a silly mood, or are any sort of fan of Woody Allen's non-sequiters and wit.

    One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It's not a typical Woody Allen movie and an absolutely hysterical concept. Check it out for no other reason than there is nothing else out there like it. American actors dubbing over a Japanese spy movie!!! It's great.
