* AlternateContinuity: The film has no connection to the standard Bond continuity... or does it? It is made specifically clear in this film that after the retirement of the original Bond, his name became nothing more than a codename for new spies - and according to
Sir James, one of the spies to receive it is "a sexual acrobat who leaves a trail of beautiful dead women like blown roses behind him", seemingly an implicit reference to Creator/SeanConnery's Bond. Also keep in mind that the last Bond movie with Connery, ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', came out the same year, and it was clear that another actor would have to take over as Bond.

** A more conspicuous example is casting Ursula Andress - the inaugural "Bond girl" - as one of the James Bond proxies.

Eon Productions (owners of the main Film/JamesBond franchise) acquired the rights to the novel in 1999, and eventually produced a serious, TruerToTheText (and expanded) [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 adaptation in 2006]], which should not be confused with the 1967 spoof.

The second adaptation (after the 1954 ''[[Film/CasinoRoyale1954 Climax!]]'' episode) of Creator/IanFleming's ''Literature/CasinoRoyale'', released in 1967. It was originally planned to be a straight adaptation of the one novel that Creator/EonProductions (at the time) didn't have the rights to, but producer Charles Feldman instead decided to mount it as spoof of Film/JamesBond and spy films in general. Unfortunately a TroubledProduction ensued.

* CastAsAMask: Dr. Noah is pretty much a spoof of this trope. He's voiced by Valentine Dyall, radio's "Man in Black", until TheReveal that he's actually [[spoiler: Jimmy Bond -- Woody Allen's character]].
