Tonight's Stinker: Lightning Bolt (1966)

Tonight's Stinker Lightning Bolt (1966) https://youtu.be/VDV2wOzf0IU?si=ETX3x4Ccl6BA1ftP (OR HERE) https://youtu.be/Q2ajoQQA6-I?si=fnelKZY7IQSjhu_k We open with stock footage of a rocket that wants to go everywhere but up, then blows up.... The protagonist starts narrating that was frequent enough to say sabotage, & that a scientist speculating on some radioactive lasers in the area.... The scientist sets out to investigate on his own, & a woman at a nearby cabana watches & reports to a guy who does a really bad Boris Badenov impression.... With the help of a diver, the scientist finds something, but their dinghy blows up.... Next, we're in Washington where a trio of VIPs are discussing the situation, before introducing the female head of some fictitious agency....She sends an agent disguised as a millionaire playboy, who's not introduced until a few minutes later.... Italian 007 knockoff, kinda drags through the first hour, even in the action scenes, but sorta pays off in the last half hour.....
