Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kagi no kagi (International Secret Police: Key of Keys, also known as Key of Keys), is a 1965 Japanese comedy-spy film directed by Senkichi Taniguchi. It is the fourth installment of five films in the Kokusai himitsu keisatsu series, a parody of James Bond-style spy movies.
Woody Allen used this film, combined with footage from the third installment Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kayaku no taru, to create his directorial debut, What's Up, Tiger Lily?, in which the original dialogue is redubbed in English to make the plot about a secret egg salad recipe.
