Parody and subversion. Maybe it can be regarded as the British and American version of "East and West", but we don't necessarily understand many gimmicks and bridges.

X. The nonsensical 007 rumor is like a spoof of "East and West Achievement". The lineup is scary (and colorful sets), but it turns out to be nothing but a gimmick, like a horde of lions that surround the vehicle and are useless. There are some self-deprecation of the agents at the beginning, and then only the star-studded function is left: Woody Allen's appearance as Bond's nephew in 39 minutes is very Woody (Woody: A company with a lot of money and stupid people, once again terrible film experience), 88 points Orson Welles (Peter Sellers did not co-star with him, except for a few doubles) came out like a big name, but I actually have an impression of David Niven's Bond very deep. The expressionist architectural setting at 70 minutes is interesting, and the many ghosts and animals are quite like silent movie gameplay. The finale is interspersed with silent comedies, westerns and even musicals.
