What’s Up, Tiger Lily? 1966 123movies

Watch: What’s Up, Tiger Lily? 1966 123movies, Full Movie Online – Writer/director Woody Allen explains that when he was asked to supervise the making of the definitive spy thriller, what he decided to do was acquire the rights to a B-grade Japanese spy caper (Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kagi no kagi (1965)) filmed with Japanese actors in Japanese, delete the existing soundtrack, and redub into English and reorder select scenes to create an entirely new movie, a comedy, having nothing to do with the original story-line. The result… International spy Phil Moscowitz, working out of the Asia bureau, is a self-professed lovable rogue with sex always on his mind. He inadvertently gets involved in a mission, the client the Grand Exalted High Majah of Raspur. The success of the mission will determine if Raspur, a non-existent country that nonetheless sounds real, will indeed become real. Moscowitz is to retrieve something stolen from the Majah by criminal Shepherd Wong: the best ever egg salad recipe. Phil is to be assisted by two of the Majah’s own agents, sisters Teri and Suki Yaki, the latter a recent prison escapee. The mission becomes more difficult when they learn that Shepherd is an egg salad junkie who will do anything to keep the recipe. The mission gets even more complicated when they also learn that they are in competition to retrieve the recipe by Wing Fat, another criminal who plans to steal the recipe then sell it back to addicted Shepherd. The success or failure of the mission for Phil and the Yaki sisters may be dependent if they receive the extra help needed from the audience and the projectionist at the cinemas where the movie is playing..
Plot: In comic Woody Allen’s film debut, he took the Japanese action film “International Secret Police: Key of Keys” and re-dubbed it, changing the plot to make it revolve around a secret egg salad recipe.

The Perfect Egg-Salad
Woody Allen is, in many ways, the director who’s done the types of movies he’s wanted to do, and with his purchase of an obscure Japanese spy movie that itself is a rip-off of the James Bond franchise, he turned it up on its head, re-dubbed the voices, and created what is known today as an often hilarious deconstructivist experience. WHAT’S UP, TIGER LILY is as absurd as movies get as an entire cast goes after the secret recipe for an egg-salad while the jokes come one after the other — some hits, some misses — as The Lovin Spoonful makes their pat appearances for sport. Nearly thirty years before AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY, Woody Allen had made his version of a spy spoof, and it crackles more than fizzles.
