I would so watch a good parody bond film but Hollywood would never make this.

You mean like Get Smart, or Johnny English, or Top Secret, or the David Niven Casino Royale, or Spy, or Spy Hard, or The Man Who Knew Too Little, or True Lies, or Leonard Part 6, or I Spy, or Spies Like Us, or Spy Dad, or The Spy Next Door, or The Spy Who Dumped Me, or The Brothers Grimsby, or S*P*Y*S, or Code Name: The Cleaner, or Austin Powers?

Hollywood fucking loves making parody James Bond films, and some of them are occasionally good.

Yeah they sure like to beat dead horses.

Austin Power, Johnny English and Get Smart would fall under good enough to watch.

The rest is studio executives wanting some of that cake.

Top Secret is Val Kilmer’s best film. Fight me.

It’s Tombstone and you know it!

Tombstone would be better with more skeet surfing.
