The Nasty Rabbit (also known as Spies a-Go-Go) is a 1964 American Techniscope spy comedy film directed by James Landis and starring Misha Terr and Arch Hall Jr.
A Russian submarine lands one of their agents disguised as a cowboy carrying a rabbit that is carrying a deadly virus. The Soviets plan for the rabbit to infect the United States through breeding with American rabbits with the goal of killing large numbers of Americans.
Richard Kiel stated in an interview with Tom Weaver that the lead composer Mischa "Michael" Terr[1] financed the film.[2] Arch Hall Jr. recalled that Terr wished to be an actor with Arch Hall Sr. writing the film about a Russian character. Pat and Lolly Vegas later formed the group Redbone.
