Watched this a few years ago.
Not really strange for the times. I'm was thinking of Boris & Natasha when I was watching it.

I wasn't born yet, but sure is a cheezy video. I have seen many of the spy movies of the time, equally cheezy. Especially "In like Flint"Joe Travers wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 8:22 pmWatched this a few years ago.

The Connery Bond flicks are pretty cool. Crazy women driving new Mustangs like bat out of HadesBoss/Cyclone wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 8:26 pmI wasn't born yet, but sure is a cheezy video. I have seen many of the spy movies of the time, equally cheezy. Especially "In like Flint"

You all probably won't like this but I love the Roger Moore Bond movies. For me, he is the real Bond. He is more fun, Connery is too serious.

Re: Russian spies checking out 66 Cyclone GT?
What about "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"? Bond gets married and takes a 1969 Cougar XR7 convertible through snowing roads in Switzerland. It is not shown often, but worth it for the Cougar scenes. https://youtu.be/V9P6lIF2bS8?si=u_pGVp0UgVnch7mzJoe Travers wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 7:10 pmThings get serious when you can't pass crazy women in new Mustangs in your spiffy Aston-MartinBoss/Cyclone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 3:21 pmYou all probably won't like this but I love the Roger Moore Bond movies.

Yes, I believe there is a short race scene on the ice rink with the bad guys. Good callBoss/Cyclone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2023 10:07 pmWhat about "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"?

FoMoCo was very prominent in the earlier Bond movies. Crazy girls in the early Mustangs, Goldfinger's henchman and his Ranchero, George's fiancé's Cougar. The coolest stunt has to be the two wheel Mustang drive down Vegas strip, IIRC. It's the Moore movie w/ Jimmy Dean.

Re: Russian spies checking out 66 Cyclone GT?
I remember in the chase scene they drive the Mustang around a parking lot and with a white 65 Comet 202? It has been awhile since I saw that one.

Found the video and screen shot it. My memory failed, it is a white 65 4 door.

Guess I wasted my time watching the video and screen shooting it, picture was out there just had to look. White 70 Mach I in the background shows up a few times in the background of the chase scene too.
