Also titled, “Operation Goldman. A U.S. agent goes undercover as a rich playboy to stop a madman from destroying a NASA moon project. In the 60s, Italy capitalized on the immense success of the James Bond series by churning out a series of cheap super-spy films. They had silliness that would make Roger Moore blush and viewed today come across as moderately amusing camp. Just don't expect anything too exciting or a lead as charismatic as Sean Connery. Harry Sennet, isn't James Bond. Hell, he isn't even Derek Flint or Matt Helm. Fortunately, "Lightning Bolt" could provide some fun for Psychotronic and Something Weird Video fans.
