Ypotron
One could argue that Ypotron's hero, secret
agent Lemmy Logan, is nothing more than
a cheap Italian knock off of James Bond.
And you'd be right. But that doesn't mean
Ypotron doesn't have a charm and psychedelic
sophistication all it's own. First there's
the fact that the now forgotten British
beat band The Sorrows do the amazing theme
song. Then take into account Nico Fidenco
(Black Emanuelle) produced one of his finest
film scores for Ypotron. Add on the fact
that Logan has access to much cooler secret
agent gadgets, like cigarette lighter communicators,
instant oil slick capsules to derail people
chasing you, a briefcase movie camera which
not only develops the film automatically
but will also project it onto a tiny screen,
a receiver in a Norelco shaver, a nifty
gadget that makes phones ring, and a radar
tracking device in a Bible!
Oh yeah, the plot
concerns a deadly weapon “space weapon”
called Ypotron and Lemmy Logan's mission to stop it's
deployment before it is too late!
