I think it's a spoof

Marie-Chantal is given a blue jewel in the shape of a panther head while traveling on a train. Everybody is coming after it. It's a secret powerful danger to the world.

I say I think this is a spoof of the spy thriller because it's not quite as broad as an 80's spoof. It has broad spy stereotypes. It's not hilarious but it does feel campy. It also alternates with some action thrills. There is a great chase section in the Kasbah. I can do without the excessive exposition dump near the end. It went on and on and on. I do wonder if the exposition dump is another attempt at spoof humor. Again, I think it is but I'm not sure.
