If it's a Bond spoof you want, watch Austin Powers. It's billed as a spoof, but too much of it is just plain not funny it's obvious the cast and crew are trying too hard. Even the movie's large cast of well-known and, in some cases, widely respected actors can't save this embarrassment from happening. The film boasts five directors, and the result is a mishmash with little to no sense about it.
While not an official part of the series, it does use the Bond character, as well as M, Q, Moneypenny and other familiar names, so it seems to belong from a completist's perspective. It was with a sense of pain and resigned duty that I slipped Casino Royale into my VCR for my ongoing rundown of films in the James Bond milieu.
