Uriah43 In this third film of the "Kommissar X" series, the private detective named " Joe Walker" (Tony Kendall) is hired to go to Singapore to meet with an atomic physicist named "Professor Akron" (Ernst Fritz Furbringer) in desperate need of protection from foreign agents who want his new invention concerning a powerful laser beam capable of downing any airplane in flight. Traveling with him is his good friend "Captain Tom Roland" (Brad Harris) of the New York Police Department who often helps him regarding matters of this nature. Once they get there, however, they are met by several assassination attempts which only serves to underscore the importance of their mission. Now, as far as the merits of this film is concerned, I must say that I didn't think it was quite as good as it predecessors in large part because of the lack of character development and the multitude of low-quality fight scenes which seemed to completely dominate the picture. It also lacked the necessary mystery or suspense required of a film of this type. Because of that I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

bensonmum2 Detective Jo Walker (Tony Kendall) and New York Police Captain Tom Rowland (Brad Harris) are sent to Singapore to protect Professor Akron and his latest invention – a laser filter than can be used to shut down electrical engines from miles away. As soon as Walker and Rowland hit Singapore, the baddies start coming out of the woodwork and the Professor ends up the prisoner of the mysterious Golden Dragon. Walker and Rowland's new mission – rescue the professor, protect his daughter, and safeguard the filter.It's hard to watch and write about So Darling, So Deadly and not compare it with the first Kommissar X film, Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill. Unfortunately, the sequel is inferior to the original in almost every way. The gadgets aren't as plentiful, the underground lair isn't as cool, the women aren't as beautiful, the locations aren't as nice, and the plot makes even less sense. But then again, Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill is one of my new favorite Eurospy films – so it would have been very difficult for anything to measure up. And that's not to say So Darling, So Deadly is a bad movie. It's actually quite a bit of fun. Kendall and Harris probably work off each other better in this movie than in the first. They make a great team. Second, while I enjoyed the locations of Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill more, there's something to be said for exotic Singapore. It's not what you usually see in a low-budget Eurospy film. Third, some of Brad Harris' scenes are so bizarre I couldn't help but have fun with them. For example, if you're on a mission to protect a scientist and, ultimately, save the world, why would Rowland go water-skiing the minute he hits Singapore? Just weird. And what about Rowland's dancing – it's laugh-out-loud funny. You have to love the guy! Another plus is the film's pacing. There really are very few dull moments. It's pretty much non-stop from the word "go". Finally, Nikola Popovic's return in So Darling, So Deadly. He was the chief bad guy, O'Brien, in the first film and I really enjoyed his work. Here, it's odd to see him in terribly un-PC yellow face, but he's fun nonetheless. So while it may not measure up to the first Kommissar X film, So Darling, So Deadly is a reasonably entertaining movie in its own right.

gridoon2018 Set in Singapore, this entry in the "Kommissar X" series is a step down from "Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill". The main problem is the plot, which is so loose and disconnected that it feels almost non-existent. Most of the film simply consists of Joe Walker and his sidekick Tom Rowland going from place to place, getting attacked by random goons, beating them up, Joe flirting with a lady, repeat. The scenery is nice, there are plenty of beautiful women, and the leads still have their charm, but the film never really comes together, and in all honesty it's a bit of a bore. Oddest aspect: the actors who played the villain and the No. 1 henchman in "Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill" are back, as different but almost identical characters! (**)

josh-462 I happen to like the Kommissar X series from the '60s and '70s. Tony Kendall does a good job as the relaxed agent Kommissar X with his friend Captain Harris of the New York Police Department. This particular film features a scientist who has had a laser stolen by a villain known as the Golden Claw and his team of mercenaries is headed up by a group pf gun- toting, whip cracking women. While this doesn't have the budget of the Bond films, it certainly has enough charm. Yes it could have probably fit right in with the other spy films on MST3K but then again just basing your review of a film on the MST'd version is kind of missing the point (since those films were edited by MST writers). I got my copy through Sinister Cinema, I don't know where else you'd catch it.
