Just as the title suggests, ONLY clips from JB's movies are allowed when posting. Which means movies from 1962 onwards!

James Bond

The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short-story collections. Since Fleming's death in 1964, eight other authors have written authorised Bond novels or novelisations: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, Jeffery Deaver, William Boyd, and Anthony Horowitz. The latest novel is Forever and a Day by Anthony Horowitz, published in May 2018. Additionally Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny.

The character—also known by the code number 007 (pronounced "double-O-seven")—has also been adapted for television, radio, comic strip, video games and film. The films are one of the longest continually running film series and have grossed over US$7.04 billion in total, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film series to date, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, starring Sean Connery as Bond. As of 2021, there have been twenty-five films in the Eon Productions series. The most recent Bond film, No Time to Die (2021), stars Daniel Craig in his fifth portrayal of Bond; he is the sixth actor to play Bond in the Eon series. There have also been two independent productions of Bond films: Casino Royale (a 1967 spoof starring David Niven) and Never Say Never Again (a 1983 remake of an earlier Eon-produced film, 1965's Thunderball, both starring Connery). In 2015, the series was estimated to be worth $19.9 billion,[1] making James Bond one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.

The Bond films are renowned for a number of features, including the musical accompaniment, with the theme songs having received Academy Award nominations on several occasions, and three wins. Other important elements which run through most of the films include Bond's cars, his guns, and the gadgets with which he is supplied by Q Branch. The films are also noted for Bond's relationships with various women, who are popularly referred to as "Bond girls".

I have a James Bond NATO watchstrap that Daniel Craig wore in the movies! :cool: It did not match the watch it was intended for as well as I expected, thats why it found a nice dark corner in one of the cupboards where it rests nice and well! :shucks: One day it will serve as the alibi I use to convince myself to buy another watch that fits the colours and look of the strap so well. Thats clever, eh?! Its always recommended to have an unused James Bond watchstrap flying around somewhere. That way the next buying of a watch becomes a necessary buying for a cause!:yeah:

My first Bond was Dr. No, when aired here. My parents and I saw a bit, since they already knew the films and character,but also said that was what that cartoon was based. Now, what cartoon, I can not remember, possible some cartoon spoof of James Bond or secret agent.

I think that was one Hanna-Barbera, but can not remember. At the time, noting was similar so, didn't care much.

Many years later, our first prive broadcasting channel, possible do to Pierce Brosnan's first Bond, aired all the Bond films until that date, Sunday afternoon(during several weeks, one filme per sunday) and I watch them all.

Funny, the one that is consider the worst and he gets married, as scenes shot in Portugal...
Also, I kind dig Timothy Dalton films. Liked the first and understand that the last one was more a revenge story, from characters that we already knew.

Moonraker wasn't one of the best JB films but what it did have was the beautiful Blanche Ravalec as Dolly, Jaws' girlfriend, one of the best things ever to come out of France in my opinion.
She was born on 19 September 1954 (age 67) and she still looks terrific.

The original books are way different from the movies. Ian Fleming wrote 2 travelogue type books and a lot of material from them ended up in the novels. If you can get hold of them they're good reading.

He saw himself as the hero....James Bond. Having said that, Roger Moore was a funny bugger and a good choice to play Bond James Bond.

Hi Gerald and anyone else interested.....if you've read the Ian Fleming James Bond books you'll find this link very interesting. It's from Project Gutenberg and it's "Thrilling Cities" by Ian Fleming. Reading it you'll see where a lot of 007 material came from.

"G'day, I'm James Bond......."......

I don't agree with a lot of what the reviewer says in this clip.

Poor Lazenby, he wasn't Sean Connery and in a lot of people's eyes that was a bad thing. He was a newcomer ( no huge acting cred behind him ) and his co stars and crew gave him a hard time because of it. He was playing the lead role against some big names and they resented it. Diana Rigg gave him a really hard time.

Miscasting.....Not Lazenby, he was bloody good as James Bond and if he'd stayed on in the franchise he would've really grown into the role and become iconic like "the other guy". My opinion only now:) but I feel Diana Rigg and Kojak stand out like sore thumbs and overshadow Lazenby. Lesser known actors would've been better choices.

And the ending is really powerful....:wah::wah::wah:

Ok, I'll admit I'm being very naughty by posting pre 1962 James Bond stuff. But this is where it all began..."Casino Royale"...A story by Ian Fleming that led to 3 movies

I didn't know anything about this rendition of "Casino Royale" (I only think "David Niven") but here is an American playing James Bond and referring (as they often do) to "Your british pounds" - whaah? :doh:

Some nice background stuff.

I've seen a couple of quiz shows where "what was the first James Bond film?" was asked, and the smartypants contestant correctly says "Casino Royale" and argues with the quizmaster after being told he was wrong. "The correct answer is Dr No in 1962".

The 1954 telemovie is apparently missing a lot of footage, and was only recently rediscovered after having been considered lost.

"Who?"

"Bond, James Bond".

I'm gonna go out on a limb here....but I reckon there's only been 2 real "James Bonds"......Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.

I know I should add George Lazenby cause he's a fellow Aussie and he should've stuck with it and not followed bad advice, but it's all history now.

But Daniel Craig has got real screen presence. He's very "Callan Like" if you remember the show.:hmmm: :)

It stunk...should be 'stank', the past tense of the irregular verb: 'stink'; stunk is a past participle. Example: "The dead people stank, but mummies have stunk for eons. " :arrgh!: Taken from the thesaurus: "stink, stank, stunk".
