Yes, it's true; Don Adams's Maxwell Smart act is little more than shtick, but marvelous shtick it is, and on <I>Get Smart!</I> with its half-hour doses of high-tech hooliganism, straight Bond parody, and uproarious slapstick, he made his mark as one of the more memorable comic figures of 1960s television. You wouldn't necessarily bet that Adams's trademark moves--deadpan mock-seriousness, smart-alecky catchphrases, and elastic faces--would translate well to the big screen; truth is, though, he's no more irritating than Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, or any of the other comic leads of the early 1980s. In <I>The Nude Bomb</I>, the first (and only) Maxwell Smart movie, our secret agent 86 battles a mad KAOS scientist who possesses a fiendish weapon: one which will destroy the world's supply of clothing. Joined by several attractive compatriots (not, alas, Barbara Feldon, whose ultra-hip Agent 99--the crucial foil for the hyperactive Smart--is sorely missed), the hapless spy has 48 hours to confound the evil plot. Several hilarious premises, including a plan to render the weapon ineffective by wearing food, are adeptly exploited through winning and well-timed sight gags. Recommended not only to fans of <I>Get Smart!</I> but to those who appreciate high-spirited '80s comedy as well. <I>--Miles Bethany</I>
Viewer Reviews
The original "Get Smart" tv series was broadcast on NBC 1965-69 and CBS 1969-70.Get Smart: The Complete Series
It has been 10 years since we have seen Don Adams as Agent 86,Maxwell Smart. Returning for this PG-rated motion picture:
Don Adams as "Maxwell Smart", Joey Forman as "Agent 13", Robert Karvelas as "Larrabee". Bill Dana also has a small role.
We find Smart on a plane being held hostage by 18 people. His phone shoes rings. It is the Cheif of CONTROL. He tells Maxwell to get out of there and meet him at the office. Smart is able to make his get-away.
KAOS now has a new leader (Vittorio Gassman), someone with pantyhose on his head and wears thimbles on his fingers. He has invented "The Nude Bomb". When activated the bomb sends out a poof of smoke leaving people suddenly naked.
Maxwell Smart has three new female agents, Agent 22 (Andrea Howard), Agent 36 (Pamela Hensley) and Agent 34 (Sylvia Kristel).
Part of Smart's mission takes him to Universal Studios Amusement Park, Universal City, California where he is on a wild goose chase through the Old West Show, Battlestar Galactia, near the Psycho House, city facades, parting of the Red Sea and Jaws.
Will Maxwell Smart out smart KAOS again?
