Was this ever meant to be canon?


A lot of familiar faces, and United Artists distributing. The film felt like it could've been an official spinoff to the Bond movies. Was this their intention, or was it meant to be a parody, ripoff, what?

I apologize for the smart ass punk who gave you "Are you serious?"

I just think they wanted to use Sean's name and no it's just a one off fun movie ---

I would imagine that United Artists picked it up for U.S. distribution because it was easier than fighting it. They probably figured, they might as well make money off of someone spoofing "their" 007/Bond property instead of letting one of their competitors have it.

It wasn't meant to be canon, but (according to Erich Kocian's Bond book) Sean Connery was approached to do a two-minute cameo. He refused.
Also, apparently this was originally supposed to be produced by Columbia, even though they were reluctant after their CASINO ROYALE debacle. They wanted an English or American director instead of De Martino, though, and after Sean refused to participate, they passed and the film went to UA.
