the yin and the yang of mr go (1970)

aka The Third Eye. "See straight and think crooked." A young amoral army deserter, Nero Finnegan (Jeff Bridges), is enticed into helping master criminal Yin Yang Go (James Mason) in blackmailing a weapons designer into giving up the blueprints of a new laser system. But the plan to sell the prints to the Russians is interrupted by Buddha who has the power to change a person's nature once every fifty years, and uses this power on Ying Yang...
Written and directed by Burgess Meredith, this is like an warped adult version of Batman meets Austin Powers, only not in a good way.
