Yes, it's true; Don Adams's Maxwell Smart act is little more than shtick, but marvelous shtick it is, and on Get Smart! with its half-hour doses of high-tech hooliganism, straight Bond parody, and uproarious slapstick, he made his mark as one of the more memorable comic figures of 1960s television. You wouldn't necessarily bet that Adams's trademark moves--deadpan mock-seriousness, smart-alecky catchphrases, and elastic faces--would translate well to the big screen; truth is, though, he's no more irritating than Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, or any of the other comic leads of the early 1980s. In The Nude Bomb, the first (and only) Maxwell Smart movie, our secret agent 86 battles a mad KAOS scientist who possesses a fiendish weapon: one which will destroy the world's supply of clothing. Joined by several attractive compatriots (not, alas, Barbara Feldon, whose ultra-hip Agent 99--the crucial foil for the hyperactive Smart--is sorely missed), the hapless spy has 48 hours to confound the evil plot. Several hilarious premises, including a plan to render the weapon ineffective by wearing food, are adeptly exploited through winning and well-timed sight gags. Recommended not only to fans of Get Smart! but to those who appreciate high-spirited '80s comedy as well. --Miles Bethany
Description
Get smart with the most bumbling - yet undeniably cool - spy ever! Join Don Adams as Maxwell Smart (aka Agent 86) of the original Get Smart TV series in The Nude Bomb! Agent 86 is assigned to battle an evil villain who is threatening to drop a "nude bomb" capable of destroying all the fabric in the world. With only 48 hours, some voluptuous assistants, and his questionable spy skills to help him, Maxwell Smart certainly has his hands full trying to save the world from severe nakedness! The Nude Bomb is a hilarious spoof that is sure to leave you in stitches.

 The Return of Maxwell Smart December 10, 2008
The original "Get Smart" tv series was broadcast on NBC 1965-69 and CBS 1969-70.Get Smart: The Complete Series
It has been 10 years since we have seen Don Adams as Agent 86,Maxwell Smart. Returning for this PG-rated motion picture:
Don Adams as "Maxwell Smart", Joey Forman as "Agent 13", Robert Karvelas as "Larrabee". Bill Dana also has a small role.
We find Smart on a plane being held hostage by 18 people. His phone shoes rings. It is the Cheif of CONTROL. He tells Maxwell to get out of there and meet him at the office. Smart is able to make his get-away.
KAOS now has a new leader (Vittorio Gassman), someone with pantyhose on his head and wears thimbles on his fingers. He has invented "The Nude Bomb". When activated the bomb sends out a poof of smoke leaving people suddenly naked.
Maxwell Smart has three new female agents, Agent 22 (Andrea Howard), Agent 36 (Pamela Hensley) and Agent 34 (Sylvia Kristel).
Part of Smart's mission takes him to Universal Studios Amusement Park, Universal City, California where he is on a wild goose chase through the Old West Show, Battlestar Galactia, near the Psycho House, city facades, parting of the Red Sea and Jaws.
Will Maxwell Smart out smart KAOS again?
Also in the cast: Dick Warlock, Dana Elcar, Norman Lloyd, Robert Ball, Vito Scotti, Richard Sanders,Ceil Cabot, George Lazenby, Rhonda Fleming.
Would you believe...there is a man, Bond Gideon as a "KAOS Guard".
Shown on televison, retitled as "The Return of Maxwell Smart".
Edward Platt, who was "Cheif" in the original tv series passed away on March 19, 1974.
Bill Dana and Don Adams were childhood friends. Don Adams appeared on Bill Dana's tv show and Don returned the favor.
Andrea Howard, you may remember from,Thank God It's Friday (1978).
Pamela Hensley, you may remember from,Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - The Complete Epic Series (1979-81), Matt Huston (1982-85).
Sylvia Kristel, you may remember from,Airport '79:Concorde (1979).
Norman Lloyd, you may remember from, St. Elsewhere - Season 1 (1982-88).
Dana Elcar you may remember as far back as playing the Sheriff in "Dark Shadows" in 1966-67. He also appeared in the original "Get Smart" tv series in episodes, "And Baby Makes Four", Part 1 & 2 in 1969.
The VHS copy I had showed previews of Once Around (1991), Lionheart (1990) and Amazing Stories: Book Two (1986-tv, as well as, a preview of "The Nude Bomb" before the feature presentation.

Would You Believe.....Max Smart Is Back;without 99?! November 9, 2008
This 1980 film marked the Return of Don Adams,as Max Smart Agent 86.Don is hilarious,as usual,in this semi-sequel to the Tv show Get Smart.In this film Max is now A member of A group called PITS(I don't understand why it wasn't CONTROL?)anyways Max must stop A derranged fashion designer from leaving the world naked(The Nude BomB).This film is pretty funny,but what really hurts it is that Barbara Feldon,nor Edward Platt, are in the film.Barbara Feldon/Agent 99(Who Max Married)is replaced by Andrea Howard playing Agent 22.Andrea is no replacement for Feldon.The Chief,due to Edward Platts'death,is played quite unconvincingly by Dana Elcar of MacGyver.The reason this film gets 3 stars from me,is because Don Adams is so funny in the film.But had Platt,or more importantly Feldon, been in it,it would've been 5 stars.Funny yes,but ultimately disappointing.
 Fun movie November 6, 2008
While not as good as the TV show, there are some reminders of the humor from way back when.
Maxwell Smart's First Movie!!! November 3, 2008
This was a pretty good Get Smart movie, although it would have been a lot better if it had Agent 99 in it. Don Adams is always hilarious as Smart. He has to stop a KAOS agent who wants to drop a bomb that will take everyone in the world's clothes go away. (Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing some hot women like that!) If you love Maxwell Smart, you'll love THE NUDE BOMB!!!
 The Nude Bombed August 31, 2008
Although this wasn't a bad movie, it cannot compare to the TV series with 99 and Edward Platt as the chief.
