Mine is In Like Flint. That movie makes me laugh while still trying to be a sort of serious spy film. Our Man Flint is good too. The Spy Who Shagged Me would be my favorite pure comedy Bond spoof.

I'd have to say The Spy Who Shagged me simply because it's so over the top. It's a farce, and damn funny!

Dr. Tynan:

Got to agree with you, Tynan. Although, I don't consider the Man From U.N.C.L.E as a spoof, I think it was one of the greatest spy shows on television. If I must have a spoof, It is Austin Powers. All 3 of them. Everyone can remember the famed meeting in the first AP:


Number Two: This is my Italian confidential secretary. Her name is Alotta, Alotta Fagina. The look on AP's face was priceless. Such a great GF rip :)

Definatley... The Spy Who Shagged Me. Pure comic genius.
Ive got a feeling the Goldmeber is going to be even better though. I cant wait, only two more days to wait. :)

I can't wait either ST22. I still haven't seen TSWSM yet, so I'll try and rent it out or something. I think Goldmemberis going to bigger and better too, with the introduction of Nigel Powers, and all the GF rip-offs they're doing.

Tedley,
Me and my brother have been saying, 'I love gooooldd.' to each other for days. It's just so damn funny the way he delivers the line.

As for my favourite spoof? Moonraker.

I'm going with the Flint films, especially the first. Coburn is wonderful as Flint and they're sharp and funny as well as just go films. Compare and contrast to the truly cheesy and horrible Matt Helm films of the same era.

As for AP, the first was funny, the next not so funny and the promos for the 3rd doesn't look that promising especially since they're suppossed to show the best jokes and bouncing Mini-me to the ground isn't my idea of high or even med-lo comedy. Oh and there better be less Fat Bastard because he's just repulsive. Brrrrrr....

The second not as funny? No way The Spy Who Shagged Me was excellent! That was a great movie, so funny...But i agree that fat bastard went a little too over the top. And with everyone saying that line over and over..... still, my favorite spoof.

My favourites are probably the first Austin Powers and the Flint movies. The Spy Who Shagged Me was very funny also, but I don't think that it was as good as the first. I have to say that I enjoy all the James Bond spy spoofs that I have ever seen.

Hey everyone, I'm new here, and I'd have to say that my favorite Bond spoof would have to be the episode of The Simpsons titled "You Only Move Twice" where a James Bont breaks into Hank Scorpios secrete compound leading into a Goldfinger spoof

::bont is strapped to a table with a laser a la Goldfinger::
Scorpio: Ingenious isn't it Mr. Bont?
Bont: Scorpio, you're totally mad.
Scorpio: I wouldn't point fingers you jerk!
Bont: So, do you expect me to talk?
Scorpio: I don't expect you to do anything exept to die and be a very cheap funeral.
::Bont uses a quarter to reflect the laser and cut the straps::
Scorpio: Stop him! He's supposed to die!
::Homer takles Bont, Scorpio's men shoot and kill him::
Scorpio: Nice job Homer! When you get back tonight, there'll be a new story on your house.

Also, during the credits, a Goldfinger-esque song plays about Scorpio...

"Scorpio, he'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth, beware of Scorpio! His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world and his employees' health. He'll welcome you into his lair, like a nobleman welcomes his guests... with free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest. And on Fridays the lunch room serves hotdogs and burgers and beer, he loves German beer!"

Ok, that's about enough reminissing about The Simpsons for now.
