| - Cody also has Q Branch style gadgets and drives cars.
* Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) has James Bond style gadgets and is set in London where the real M.I.6. is located and Cody despite being American is partnered alongside British Agent Emily Sommers similar to the storyline in The Spy Who Loved Me', Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day films. Also Diaz, the villain in the film is a parody of Alec Trevelyan whilst Neville Tubshaw is a crazy parody of Q.
* The Avengers (1998) features Ralph Fiennes as John Steed and Sean Connery as Sir August Wynter. Steed like Bond in this film loves Women, Mother is like M and Father is a traitor within the Ministry just like Alec Trevelyan. Uma Thurman's Emma Peel also flirts with Steed.
* Cannonball Run, 1981. Roger Moore is a man believing himself to be both Roger Moore and James Bond, who participates in a madcap, cross-country, road race driving a gadget-laden Aston Martin DB5 similar to that driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger.
* Cars 2: Finn McMissle has a large resemblance with James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. In consequence, he has been widely recognized as a 1960s Aston Martin DB5. While Finn shares similarities with the DB5, like a near identical rear end, differences can also be seen, mainly in Finn's profile design, which is more curvaceous than the DB5. Finn's submarine mode is also reminiscent of Bond's Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me.
* Cats and Dogs 2:The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Kitty Galore is of course a parody of Pussy Galore, Paws is a parody of Jaws complete with metal teeth, Tab Lazenby (a reference to George Lazenby is voiced by Roger Moore and of course Mr. Tinkles is a parody of Ernst Stavro Blofeld's infamous white cat and so was Kitty originally, There are two Scottish cats which are a homage to Sean Connery and the Police Chief is called Captain Fleming a tribute to Ian Fleming.
* The Cannonball Run (1981): Roger Moore and his Aston Martin DB5 cameo and at the end of the film he is ejector seated out and lands in the water in the bay.
* Die Hard film series, 1988-2016. In this successful film franchise, a smart police officer continually faces off with violent thieves, terrorists and militia groups of various kinds, no matter the place. The Hans Gruber villain in the original film inspired the Brosnon-era of James Bond villain especially since Alec Trevelyan and Gruber both state the phrase "I'm not a common thief." In the same Bond movie, GoldenEye, the plane escape sequence with 007 is rather similar to McClane's plane chair ejecting scene in Die Hard 2. Likewise, the Die Hard series takes inspiration from the Die Hard series in the next three films: Die Hard With a Vengeance villain Simon Gruber's heist plan bares resemblance to 1964's Goldfinger; Live Free or Die Hard has a terrorist villain with a political agenda much like that of Elliot Carver's plan in Tomorrow Never Dies, and the fifth film, A Good Day to Die Hard, references many of the same tropes found in the modern James Bond films as well as Taken 2, Mission: Impossible and the Bourne Identity films.
* The Dragon Lives Again, 1978. Starring Alexander Grand, a Hong Kong movie featuring an undead Bruce Lee alongside characters such as Popeye, Dracula, and James Bond. Original title: La Resurrection du Dragon
* The animated film, Freddy (the) Frog, featured the title character as a reluctant secret agent "FRO7".
* From Beijing with Love, (1994), with and by Stephen Chow, stars a Chinese 007 wanna-be to search for a stolen dinosaur skull
* From Hong Kong With Love, 1975. Starring: Lois Maxwell, Bernard Lee, Clifton James. James Bond dies in the opening, and Her Majesty's Secret Service must replace him. Despite being an obscure parody, the film features many legitimate Bond film actors. Originally released as Bons Baisers de Hong Kong.
* In Like Flint and Our Man Flint, two mid–60s spy adventures starring James Coburn. In Like Flint sees the character of Derek Flint beating up a character who closely resembles Sean Connery's Bond.
* Matt Helm movies, starring Dean Martin - The Silencers (1966), Murderers' Row (1966), The Ambushers (1967), The Wrecking Crew (1969). Although based upon a serious, ultra-violent series of novels by Donald Hamilton, it was decided to adapt Hamilton's novels as comedies rather than competing with the Bond series on its own turf.
* Johnny English (2003) and the 2011 sequel Johnny English Reborn are spoofs of the James Bond films starring the hapless Rowan Atkinson. The films are also written by 007 writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
* Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) is a comic book adaptation which is a send-up of spy films and shows that reference James Bond, Jason Bourne, 24, Taken, Archer, Johnny English, Austin Powers, Agent Cody Banks, Spy Kids and Get Smart.
* Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen-Years-Later Affair (1983) Features a cameo by George Lazenby as a British Agent named only as JB complete with an Aston Martin DB5. He recognises Napoleon Solo and rescues him from an enemy Car Chase by using his Car's gadgets such as Water sprayers. His number plate is also JB. This confirms that both James Bond and Man From U.N.C.L.E. co exist in the same universe and timeline and they are very aware of each other.
* The Muppets Most Wanted, 2014, features The Muppets in a spy caper in Europe. Two James Bond parody posters titled FrogFall and The Pig is Not Enough were used to promote the film.
* Mission: Impossible film series, 1996-2015. Inspired by the hit television series of the same name, this series reestablishes Impossible Missions Force Ethan Hunt (as played by Tom Cruise) and tasks him with solving various mayhem while performing impossible to replicate stunts. There is similar technology such as the gadgets found in all five films that is a throwback to Bond's stylish espionage. The Ferrari car chase in Mission: Impossible II also feels like a total steal from the one in GoldenEye.
* OK Connery, 1967, also known as Operation Kid Brother or Operation Double 007. Starring: Neil Connery, Daniela Bianchi, Adolfo Celi, Bernard Lee, Anthony Dawson, Lois Maxwell. When MI6's top agent becomes unavailable, his lookalike younger brother is hired to thwart an evil organisation. Sean Connery's younger brother Neil stars in this Italian film designed to profit from the spy craze. Also rather noteworthy for appearing on the bad movie spoofing series Mystery Science Theater 3000
* Se Tutte le Donne del Mondo (1966) - An Italian spoof of James Bond that has a similar plot to that of Moonraker, which was released 13 years later.
* Safe House, 2012. Action thriller which the writer David Guggenheim claimed he inserted various 007 references since the spy genre is his favorite. [1]
* Sean Bond Agent 0023 is a pornographic version of James Bond who appeared in Coldfinger and For Your Ass Only.
* Spy Hard, (1996) starring Leslie Nielsen, that has an opening making fun of the James Bond openings, performed by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
* Taken, 2008. This successful action film drew from the recent James Bond films, 24 and Jason Bourne film series as well as copied character names from the following. It was followed by the sequels, Taken 2 and Taken 3.
* Tony Falcon Agent X44, The Filipino version of James Bond.
* Agent 00-7-11 is a parody of James Bond in the 1985 film Ninja Academy. In the film 00711 gets his Licence to Kill temporarily revoked.
* True Lies, 1994. This action-comedy film emerged a year prior to the Bond franchise returning with Pierce Brosnon as the lead star. In it are some of the same type of scenarios that James Bond tends to face.
* Who Am I?, 1998. This Jackie Chan action film has much of the same over-the-top fights, mistaken identity and car chases found in the Bond series. In addition to the above, there have been literally hundreds of films made around the world parodying the spy film genre of the 1960s, if not directly parodying James Bond. One example is the 1966 film Modesty Blaise, which was more a parody of the spy genre than it was an adaptation of the comic strip.
