What are all the James Bond movies this makes fun of?


I noticed Goldfinger with the character 'Random Task'. And I loved how he was frozen in the 60s and woke up in the 90s which pokes fun at how James Bond doesn't age yet everyone around him does. But what other Bond movies does it poke fun at?

Also from Goldfinger, the character Alotta Fagina is a play on the character Pussy Galore.

Dr Evil is obviously a parody of Donald Pleasance's portrayal of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. And his number two is obviously based on Emilio Largo, Blofeld's right hand man in 'Thunderball'

Somebody really needs to put together a complete list of references (and since this is the internet, someone probably has)...Dr. No, the first Bond movie, had the first underground lair (and a similar radiation suit worn by Dr. Evil)...the evil board room with the deathtrap chairs were a direct lift from Thunderball, as was Austin's spotting a bad guy in drag as a man...I'm sure I'll think of lots more after I post this.

People are fed to sharks in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
Henchmen who fail are electrocuted in their chairs in Thunderball (1965)

Here's a page of James Bond gadgets, including those used by villains:

People as fish food - also in Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Live and Let Die (they would have been, except for that unnecessarily slow dipping mechanism), License to Kill...
Thunderball, of course had SPECTRE doing "what we usually do; kidnap an atomic weapon and hold the world for ransom."
There's the old "henchman shows up at the end of the movie to try to kill the hero after the bad guy has been defeated" trope, as well as the cordial dinner with the archvillain...

There's a character in From Russia With Love that has a strong resemblance to Fran.
