Despite slipping the antidote in afterward, he passes out and has odd visions, mostly consisting of the footage used by production to make up for Sellers’ early departure from filming. SMERSH agents raid Le Chiffre’s control center and shoot him in the head for having lost their money.

London

Back in London, Mata Bond is trailed by SMERSH, who kidnap her via flying saucer when she goes to watch the changing of the guard.

This meant turning down a big-budget Mel Brooks film in lieu of Red Bells (1982) (starring old flame Nero). The group is accompanied by M, who has come up with the idea of coaxing Bond, the “greatest spy in history,” out of retirement. The film is split into distinct acts, and the change in directors for each one is very apparent in the total shift of styles throughout the film.

She last worked on a film in 2005. He regretted his role in Casino Royale, requesting at the time not to be credited for the script, despite having written much of his own material for the film.

Orson Welles, a long time hater of the James Bond films, was wrapping up a legendary career and only made a few film appearances following Casino Royale before focusing on voiceover work, including roles in the American TV series Magnum P.I. and an animated Transformers movie, which was his final film.

Further parody ensues as the cars display a multitude of gadgets such as walkie-talkies and weapons hidden behind the headlights. Also appearing in this scene as one of the patrons is Burt Kwouk, who had small roles as Mr. Ling Goldfinger and a SPECTRE operative in You Only Live Twice.

At the weird spy school

Mata steals the slides to be auctioned off, replacing the projected images with stock war footage.

And even then, I would highly suggest watching it no more than once. He subsequently sold them in 1955 to producer Gregory Ratoff for $6,000. It fails on so many levels, but mainly because it’s just not funny. She reveals herself to him as a double agent, but he manages to wrestle her gun away, shooting the croupier in the process.

This visual is perhaps the most Bond-like aspect of the entire production and largely contributed to the film’s success.

Easy to see why

The film’s tagline was, “Casino Royale is too much for one James Bond.” This prompted a response from the official film series with the tagline for You Only Live Twice stating that “Sean Connery IS James Bond.” The wording of this phrase would eventually draw the ire of Connery himself, who felt he was being turned into a commodity in order to further fuel the rivalry between the two productions.

It was the craziest film I ever made.”

I didn’t need her word to convince me

The costume and set design are arguably the most redeeming qualities of the film. It is puzzling as to why Ratoff would take such interest in a book series which, up to that point, had been completely ignored by the film industry.

I wish I weren’t serious as I write this, but alas…this film sucks. He continued to see success in his movie career, appearing in more Pink Panther films, among others. This caused Feldman to reach out to him privately to discuss his interest in starring in their own version of Casino Royale after his contract with EON Productions was up.
