THE YIN AND THE YANG OF MR. GO is one of the weirdest and most incredible pieces of trash I've seen recently. That it was written and directed by Burgess Meredith is hugely surprising; it feels like the work of an amateur whose first time this was behind the camera. Just what on earth was everyone thinking? The plot is a kind of Bondian spy thriller in the vaguest of senses, with an evil mastermind on the hunt for Cold War technology. But then a twist based on Chinese mysticism is added to the mix and turns everything on its head. You get a youthful Jeff Bridges playing an obnoxious character and James Mason in yellow face makeup in possibly one of the worst bits of miscasting ever. All I could think while watching was "when will it end?".
