I enjoy how Royale kind of throws some monkey wrenches in there that I wouldn't expect.
Like with all the Lions right off the bat.
I know all the Lions do not look realistic but the idea of it is hilarious.
You have to use your imagination a little bit to get the hilarity of it.
And of course, The UFO really gets me going.
Like, you just never expect a guy on horseback to kidnap the girl, to take her inside a UFO lol.
Many people hate or do not understand why that is in the movie.
Well, IMO, I think it is because they got Orson Welles into Casino Royale and perhaps they spoofed the UFO to coincide with his War of the Worlds hysteria.
That makes sense to me at least and i like how wild the UFO scene just smacks you in the face lol.
And the Redskins jumping out of the airplane parachuting in with teepees in place of parachutes is a great touch.
This movie has a lot going on and I really enjoyed it last night and I was completely sober!
I am going to have to rewatch the Flint movies again though.
I get conflicting stories that Coburn wanted to quit and other stories say the Studios didn't want to make anymore.
In either case, we ain't never gonna get movies anything like these again.
Also, Casino Royale had a lot of infighting, behind the scenes, which only adds to the craziness.
I guess Peter Sellers didn't get along with many people and caused all kinds of havoc which I find funny.
