Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

*Plot and ending analyzed* Alerta, alta tension (1969) Alert, High Pressure! In the 1960's, when the James Bond films were immense and popular, many nations of the world made their own imitations, however inferior, take the examples, Our Man in Jamaica (1965), James Tont operazione D.U.E. (1966), Password: Kill Agent Gordon (1966), Secret Agent Super Dragon (1966) or In Like Flint (1967).This one is about average. It is from Mexico, which didn't have huge budgets, so take that into effect. It isn't horrible at all, and in some ways, very fun and silly.It starts out with a limo guarded by motorcycle cops being 'hit' by a group of men with gasmasks and 1960's machine guns. They shoot all the motorcycle cops and kidnap an old man, who turns out to be some brilliant scientist who's invented a radioactive element called, "Argentium". The "bad men" take him to their headquarters, where they try to administer truth serum, but he bites a fake tooth with arsenic and he dies.Enter the "suave" and much too carnal, as he's trying to make out with every girl in the film, Jorge Rubio (Jorge Rivero). He has a 1960's macho pad. He gets a call from the "Doctor" and told he is on the case to find out about the missing brilliant scientist. His partner is some woman who works at a "Go go dancer" club.The head "bad man", Cero, is a take on Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the James Bond films. He's an old guy in a wheelchair and he kills his "bad men" who fail him. He's not very prominent and his criminal organization is very inept, as they can't shoot or kill the main opposition.Jorge Rubio (Jorge Rivero) is "doubled" by the bad guys and not much else happens. His "double" tries to cause chaos.Later, Jorge Rubio (Jorge Rivero) is frozen in some plastic chamber, complete with styrofoam serving as the "ice crystals". The special effects are low-budget and there's hardly a story to make this film nothing but a nice curiosity piece from the 1960's. It has some hot women, complete with miniskirts, "Go go dancer" boots and a very tainted color, since the film stock is old.Jorge Rivero was a Mexican actor who appeared in a few American movies (The Last Hard Men (1976), Rio Lobo (1970), Soldier Blue (1970)). He was a weightlifter and starred in a few "El Santo" movies and plenty of low budget films like Manaos (1979), Pistoleros de la frontera (1967), Manaos (1979) and Evil Eye (1975). El Santo was a masked Mexican wrestler.I noticed the head "bad man", Cero, that his blonde woman also appeared with Jorge Rivero in El secuestro (1974).In Spanish with no subtitles.

Made at a time when imitation James Bonds frequently appeared in the world's cinemas, this minor but amusing Mexican entry in that cycle features a lot of the usual Bondisms from the 1960s: evil women in beehive hairdos, go-go dancers in gold boots, men in narrow neckties, a criminal mastermind in a motorized chair, fast cars, flying bullets, elaborate gadgetry, a ladies-man of a hero who -- with the punch of a button -- can play seductive music in his bedroom, etc.Jorge Rivero, about 30 years old and at his physical peak, makes a handsome leading man and the movie isn't shy about spotlighting his physical attributes. Less than five minutes after the movie starts, he's stripped off his shirt for a romp in an over-sized tub with a couple of eye-candy babes. He's later seen, again stripped to the waist, for a torture-chamber scene in which he's flogged across the back. This flogging ranks 12th in the book, "Lash! The Hundred Great Scenes of Men Being Whipped in the Movies." As usual in Bond movies, the female parts tend to be interchangeable and many details of the plot remain obscure, but this still remains a passable diversion.
