Nice page - but I must say, although it's impossible to deny the influence of James Bond in all of these films, not all of them are really "James Bond parodies" per se. jamesgibbon 18:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

For instance? Do be wary that the section at the bottom are "imitations", which perhaps shouldn't be listed here. K1Bond007 20:13, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Could the Casino Royale movie with David Niven, Peter Sellers and Woody Allen be considered a parody? John Barleycorn 05:41, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

I just noticed it was missing a few minutes ago :) I added it. It's definitely a parody or spoof. I think the reason why it wasn't listed is because this page is essentially a break off of James Bond where Casino Royale was listed seperately since in addition to being a parody is also considered an "Unofficial film" since it was made with the actual film rights to the Fleming novel.

[edit] Artemis Fowl

In the second Artemis Fowl book there is a chapter called "To Russia with gloves" is this a parody of the Bond film "To russia with love"?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bontdown.jpg

Image:Bontdown.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Removed films

In reorganizing the films section chronologically, I removed several examples that are either dubious (a porn film reference, a redlinked animated film), or irrevelant (Connery playing a former agent in The Rock). There are probably others that can and should be trimmed, such as The Goonies, but I'll let others make that call. 23skidoo (talk) 18:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
