Impossible to dislike, this slick pop art explosion directed by Mario Bava stars John Phillip Law as a black clad, high tech thief driving inspector Michel Piccoli crazy with his shenanigans. Aided by sexy girlfriend Marisa Mell, Law steals anything he can get his hands on, including a twenty ton pound gold brick! An imaginative and very fun movie with certain limits (like an extensive use of miniatures) that are easily overlooked. Bava keeps things moving at a fast clip and Law is perfect as the icy hero. Piccoli is appropriately befuddled, though his dubbing is not so great. The colorful supporting cast includes Adolfo Celi and Terry-Thomas (hilarious holding two idiotic press conferences). Highlight: Law browbeating information out of Celi while free-falling from an airplane. The kooky score is by none other than Ennio Morricone and it's photographed by Bava's go-to cinematographer Antonio Rinaldi.
