What's Up, Tiger Lily?

It's pretty funny. Allen wrote a few funny zingers, and the parts in the beginning, middle, and end with him in it are pretty golden. Much of it is pretty boring though and it's just waiting for the next one-liner to show up. Worth a watch for Allen's fans or anyone who liked Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

Some absolutely hilarious lines. On the other hand, there's also a lot of downtime, with long action scenes lacking dialogue, and studio-injected bits of The Lovin' Spoonful performing. Still, surprisingly good, on a level with Allen's mid-tier comedies like Take the Money and Run or Small Time Crooks.

The film probably worked better on paper then it did on screen. Some amusing moments but overall not really that great. I would also say that it's the least "Woody Allen" of any of his films. If you are gonna watch it, I would recommend watching with a bunch of your friends as it seems this film would really benefit from it. Also, let it be known that I have now seen every Woody film. =)

Starts slow, and is sort of uneven, but still has some brilliant gags.

Simply uninteresting, penned with very few jokes that have any humor. It's a shame that this movie was uninteresting, I was thinking it was promising at first look. Overall a bad outing for Woody Allen--but at least we know where MST3K got their concept from now.

It's certainly meant to be a "so bad it's good" experience but instead it's just plain bad. If you want to see fun made of bad films, go watch an MST3K marathon. Allen's redubbing of this B-grade Japanese film is lightweight; there are innumerable opportunities for real humor completely ignored and instead we get lame grade-school dialogue. I can't figure out how Allen got work after this film; it's truly amateur. Any high schooler could do as well.

I feel like I would have just preferred to watch the actual film.

Drags a lot toward the end, but some of the lines are golden and the striptease at the end is well, a striptease, so it's awesome.

Obviously bad, but there's only really like 50-60 actual minutes of content here, so like, whatever. The biggest problem is that the original movie, which seems to be a modestly competent Bond knockoff, really doesn't give Allen much to mine for yuks. The egg salad thing is a little amusing, but for the most part this is just wacky voices and non-sequiturs, so the novelty wears off pretty rapidly. The plane gag at the end and Woody's brief scene at the halfway mark are legitimate LOLs though

Mostly unfunny and insultingly stupid in parts.

The only consistently funny parts are those where Allen is actually onscreen. The dubbing is hit or miss and there's too much dead air, so not too much here to recommend.

One of the more unique movies ever \"made.\"

Some hits, a lot of misses, but funny anyway.

There are a few really great lines, but the overwhelming majority of this film is painfully unfunny.

Not funny just lame.

Made me laugh a bit, but it's pretty corny and the gimmick gets old quickly.

A funny idea from Woody. Worth one viewing at least.

Cute and enjoyable, but...really, not a lot there.

Woody Allen redubs a Japanese spy film that is already in Austin Powers territory. Fish in a barrel? It's got a few good ideas though.

Woody Allen kicks off an Asian fetish that would blossom in catastrophic fashion a couple decades later with a girl not yet born when this movie came out. Bro this was pretty rough to sit through. Admittedly my internet-melted brain can't really find anything funny anymore except memes, cringe and 5-to-30-second YouTube videos, not even modern comedies, so a 56-year-old comedy never stood a chance. But another part of me thinks I might have found this rough 56 years ago too.

"You Roman Cow!" (punch)

Ridiculous, of course, but funnier than I expected.

dei umas cinco risadas. é, basicamente, um tempo perdido.

Lots of fun.

Like Kung Pow in essence, only with Woody Allen's witty humor. Pretty good.

A zany, senseless experiment that's a welcome diversion for about half its running time.

This film predates MST3K, Kung Pow Enter the Fist, and the plethora of spoof movies, and is in fact just as good as, if not better than, many of those. Some parts are laugh out loud hilarious, others are a bit boring, but the whole thing demonstrates a clever, witty sense of humor well ahead of its time. Very much worth seeing.

There's a fine line between writing a parody of another piece of work and just outright mocking it in a totally parasitic fashion. Guess which side of the line this falls on?

Get ready to fast forward the Lovin' Spoonful sections. Get ready to kill yourself if you don't.

Well, good Mr. Woody these type of your films are left in the past.

One cannot blame Woody Allen for not having a sense of humour and don't some of his jokes connect! It is mostly because of their suprisingness, contrast to what's being shown and nonsensical ease - anybody wants to name three presidents? This is the wet dream of all Kingsmen put together. Unlike a wet dream though, it goes on for too long, the freshness dies away, as if the director became bored in the process and suddenly you are left wanting for a full coup de grâce instead of a little death.

Some odd laughs, but this is definitely not my thing.
