- ― Jimmy tries to avoid execution
Jimmy Bond (also named Dr. Noah) is a fictional British intelligence operative, nephew of Sir James Bond, and secretly the head of SMERSH. The character appeared in the unofficial 1967 spoof James Bond film Casino Royale and was portrayed by Woody Allen.
History
A former British spy assigned to the Caribbean and the mastermind behind most of the events of Casino Royale, Jimmy Bond is the bumbling nephew of renowned super-spy Sir James Bond. He masquerades as the mysterious and silhouetted Dr. Noah (an intentional play on Ian Fleming's characters Dr. No and Blofeld), running the evil organisation SMERSH from his hidden base under Casino Royale. A constant disappointment to his famous uncle, Jimmy has developed a severe inferiority complex and is even unable to speak in Sir James' presence. Consequently, he engineers several attempts on the life and reputation of his uncle throughout the film; culminating in the kidnapping of his estranged daughter Mata Bond to lure the spy to his casino.
On discovering his true identity, the neurotic Jimmy reveals to Sir James and Moneypenny that he plans to use biological warfare to make all women beautiful and kill all men over 4' 6" (1.37 m) tall, leaving him as the "big man" who gets all the girls. Jimmy imprisons them and checks on another of his female detainees, whom he has stripped and confined to a table. Desperately wanting to be as desirable as his uncle, Jimmy tries to convince her to be his queen - revealing his ingenious "atomic pills", aspirin-sized atomic bombs, and his plan to replace the world's leaders with evil duplicates. She apparently agrees, but foils his plan by spiking his drink with one of his own atomic pills, which causes him to hiccup until he explodes; destroying Casino Royale along with everyone inside. To a musical interlude, Sir James and all of his agents then appear in heaven, whereas Jimmy Bond is shown descending to hell.
