The Ambushers (1967)

"Who would ever have dreamt that the first man on the Moon would be eating chow mien?"

The theme written by Lalo Schifrin for the previous Matt Helm lark 'Murderers Row' was so good it's bizarre it wasn't used for the rest of the series; instead you get a boringly noisy jazz soundtrack by Hugo Montenegro.

Poor Albert Salmi looks constipated as the "sadistic leader" of the usual group of fanatics, while Janice Rule and (particularly) Senta Berger are squandered as a pair of groovy sixties chicks (although it's diverting to see an actress of Rule's calibre, usually associated with far less frivolous stuff, scampering about in a tiny dress and big boots).

The gimmicks this time include the bra that shoots bullets from 'The Tenth Victim', a device that makes goons' trousers fall down, "happy gas", some sort of Ray gun and a flying saucer built and piloted by Earthlings.
