Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The third installment in the Aces series, released in 1984, is a labored James Bond spoof, hysterically beating a horse that was already long dead. There are cameos by 007 and Oddjob lookalikes, by Peter Graves, and even by '80s thug icon Richard "Jaws" Kiel. The so-called plot involves thieves posing as British secret agents, in order to trick master cat burglar King Kong (Sam Hui) into stealing the British crown jewels. Director Tsui Hark serves up one elaborate and satisfying high-tech heist sequence, and a lot of strenuous physical comedy, the best of it featuring Sylvia Chang, a wonderfully animated performer. When Tsui cuts loose during the action scenes, the energy level goes through the roof; no filmmaker in Hong Kong, or just about anywhere else, sets a more infectious breakneck pace. A dubbed version was released by Thorn-EMI in the 1980s under the title Mad Missions III. --David Chute

Aces go places - yes! Mad mission - no!.......2006-05-05
The original Hang Kong version of "Aces go Places 3" and dubbed "Mad mission 3" are totally diffrent movies! Watching the first I was in laughing stitches. Watching the second I was in tears thinking how one can spoil such an excelent comedy. Censored and horribly cut "Mad mission 3" is a pale shadow of "Aces go Places 3". Before you order, ask what they want to sell you.
A truly funny and innovative bond/mission impossible spoof.......2002-09-12
I have been trying to get a copy of this movie for at least 15 years now and the fact that it is now coming out on DVD is why I love this format . The movie is a funny spoof of spy movies with amazing action and truly one of a kind gadgets . The series also has a famous villian in every installment , in this one it is sean connery as james bond (or at least a lookalike) . Also Peter Graves (the real one) appears as his mission impossible character . This movie is for kids and adults alike and especially for fans of spys and gadgets . I won't be buying it but only because I am buying the whole collection .
SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!!!!.......1999-05-23
This is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen going on in this flick. Tons of surprises and unexpected stuff happens. This ranks up there with Airplane and Naked Gun. If you want a plot skip this but if you want comedy see this. Now if I can only find a copy of the other mad missions...
