Production
Aces Go Places 3 riffs off the plots of the James Bond series and features cameos from actors in various English-language spy features. These include Peter Graves from the Mission: Impossible television series and Richard Kiel who played Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. The film also features a character resembling Oddjob. Several sources erroneously report that the character of "Mr Bond", the James Bond-like British secret agent, was played by Neil Connery, Sean Connery's younger brother. The character was actually played by Jean Mersant, a French Sean Connery impersonator.
