Casino Royale (1967)
3/10
Bad beyond your wildest dreams
17 October 2002
A wild James Bond spoof that makes passing references to a genuine Ian Fleming novel.

Hard to know where to start with this movie. The producers, through a freak accident, gained the rights to a real James Bond novel, but were too cowardly/incompetent to make a real James Bond and came up with this cowardly cop-out.

This is the sixties, throw lots of things at the screen: Stars, tricks, expensive sets, ad-libs, multi-directors, chase scenes, music videos, etc. and you are sure to hit something. What is amazing is that even with a machine gun they cannot hit a thing, although Woody Allen does have one funny scene!

There is nothing to string this movie together, one scene doesn't have anything to do with the last. There is no plot and actors work in their own bubble. Several stars (Allen for one) claim they have never even seen the movie. Join them.
