Coming to NY LA Eng subtitles


Saw the first one of these on tv and really enjoyed its spoofy spirit. Wild thing is:

(The series of novels on which these and other de la Bath films are based actually predates Ian Fleming’s
Bond books.)

Good James Bond spoofs, from Maxwell Smart to Derek Flint to Austin Powers, have always involved suffering copious indignities in the cause of sophomoric humor. Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, the French spy code-named
OSS 117, presents a Gallic variation on this formula: he can be arrogant, stupid, cowardly, sexist, xenophobic and
anti-Semitic in search of laughs, as long as his hair and his accent stay shellacked in place.
