Very very surprised (pleasantly) to discover this on youtube:
The New Spy Against Divided Evil.
As a spoof, it seems much better than the older Casino Royale.
A couple of actors from Thunderball!
Any info on this?
Nothing much on the internet.
Here's the only link I could find to the video:

The evil organization is Thanatos!

A load of legitimate Bond actors participated. Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell effectively reprise their roles as M and Moneypenny, although the characters have different names. Daniela Bianchi (From Russia With Love), Adolfo Celi (Thunderball), Anthony Dawson (Dr. No), and Yasuko Yama (a bit part in You Only Live Twice) round out the cast. Stranger still, most of the characters are called by the actors’ names. Maxwell plays “Max,” Yama plays “Yachuko” (Wikipedia spells her name several different ways throughout the article), and Connery plays “Dr. Neil Connery,” although he’s supposed to be the brother of James Bond, not the actor who portrays him. Maxwell claimed she was paid more for O.K. Connery than for all the legitimate Bond films she appeared in combined.
one of many Italian-produced “spaghetti spy films” made in the wake of Bond’s early success. Many of them were blatant Bond rip-offs, with so many films using “007” in the title that United Artists threatened to sue the entire country’s film industry. The craze only lasted a few years, and bridges the gap between Italian “swords and sandals” films and the spaghetti Western era.
Found it on
Amazon Prime https://www.amazon.com/Operation-Kid-Br ... B00ACV87Z2It's by United Artists! Legit enough a distribution? (Italian version in English with Italian credits can be found on youtube, which, instead of "United Artists Presents" says "La Titanus Presenta")
The amazon prime version has English credits in the beginning, and is a sort of alternate beginning compared to the "007 referencing beginning" in the link I shared earlier.
Amazon Prime version runs 1:45:18 at 2:35:1 I think.
The link I shared earlier must be PAL sped up.
English CC subtitles.
