    Cannot believe it would be cut. Has there ever been an uncut version with extras ever released?
    The American versions have it. The scene, not extras. :))
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Over here, you're left wondering why that light fitting is swinging
    All over the place. :)) oddly, I remember seeing it as a kid on TV. :D
    and it's a brilliant " over the top" idea. {[]

    See, here in America that scene will make kids risk their lives imitating stuff like that & it's totally okay. :))

    I surprised they don't cut out the cliff dive too, in case some
    Kid decides to copy that as well ! :))

    I think I like In Like Flint better of the two simply because Coburn has better fight scenes, Goldsmith did a better & expanded score, and the camp got WAAAAY crazier with Coburn STILL treating it all seriously. :)) :))

    They're very 60s camp and very silly, although I think they " channelled "
    A lot of Derek Flint and Matt Helm for TSWLM and MR. ;)

    The Flint films hold up reasonably well but the Matt Helm films.... Gawd they look dreadful nowadays :#

    You have to embrace the 60s vibe, Baby ! :D
    Although I do agree the Helm films don't hold up too well
    These days.

    I love the 60s Casino Royale but whenever friends want to rib me they say, "you know, I always thought Peter Sellers was the best James Bond."

    What made Johnny English so brilliant as a spoof was that it was written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

    How about O.K. Connery, anyone? It is also known as Operation Kid Brother. It stars Neil Connery amongst a cast of Bond-film alumni including Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, Adolfo Celi, Daniela Bianchi and Anthony Dawson.

    My favourite Bond spoof if the TV show Get Smart. I saw the film was mentioned before, but that was ruined by creating tension between Max and 99.

    Could Mission Impossible be considered a Bond Spoof?

    I don't think so. It's fairly serious (at least it is for the 1960s) and it created its own formula that is much different from Bond. It's seems like they wanted to do their own thing to distance themselves from Bond comparisons.

    It's definitely inspired by it though -{

    But far less than most other spy films and television series of the day. When Mission: Impossible began there had already been four Bond films made and countless spoofs of them. I got the impression that the MI creators wanted to take on the spy genre in a much different way than everyone else had after 1962. Everyone else (The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and I Spy, for example) was copying Bond, whilst MI was going for something much different, with large teams of agents and disguises being big differences. However, I have spotted Martin Landau wearing cocktail cuffs in the show, which was clearly inspired by what Connery's Bond wore. Or maybe he was inspired to wear them from watching Dick Van Dyke...
