Classic Bond Forum

In Thunderball Bond had let himself go, but before that Bond was shown in his flat working out.

Every Bond film has had product placement, from Dr. No to Casino Royale. Die Another Day had the most, and the most apparent. The only reason you remember Royale's more is because you saw it on the big screen most recently.

No. 38 was the perfect age, you have to remember the Bond of the books was in the 50s, he had fought in the war, promotions came quick. Casino Royale is set in 2006, Bond has gone to naval college, reached the rank of Commander, fought with the SBS etc. before joining MI6, for which he moved throug...

PB still looks d**n good in DAD. He was a strong Bond and could have easily have done one more with out passing the AVTAK threshold. Oh come on, he was greying and fattening, unfortunately one of the times it showed most was when he came out of capture - he'd been tortured and underfed, and yet he ...

Craig isn't, as stated on the main part of this site, short. He is taller than average. He's an inch of 6', not short by any standards.

What did you expect them to say? I wouldn't expect Brosnan to say Craig was the "greatest Bond ever" unless he meant it. He's been very vocal about the direction of Bond, if he hadn't liked Craig he would have said something like "Daniel was a good Bond, I've always supported him", but the "greates...

I think it's hard for anyone to deny that Casino Royale has been successful without giving valid reasons. You just have to look at the facts. Most attended Bond film since LALD (89.2 CR/91.6 LALD) Brosnan's most successful film GE had an attendance of 81.2. Daniel Craig is the first actor to be nomi...

Just curious, what don't you like about his accent? Seeing has Bond has had several different accents?

http://www.johannhari.com/index.php "Oh Daniel," I ask with a sigh. "Why didn't you wear your little blue speedos? Maybe you would have won then." He stares at me. Is it? Can it be? Love? "You're a f**king fool," he says, and walks away with an angry frown. "There's no need to play hard to get Danie...

Obviously a site called "TheRealBond" aimed at "anti-Craigs" would find Brosnan a better Bond.

Seeing Brosnan coming out of capture looking well fed was one of the many problems of Die Another Day. Craig worked out even before Bond, as can be seen in previous films like Layer Cake and Tomb Raider, his muscular body in Casino Royale worked well for Bond, especially when you read Bond's work ou...

Now he says Bond is sexist, bond is this and that, none of it good.

Well, it's true. Bond is sexist, it's even commented on in the films ("you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur."), Bond even agrees. So Craig saying this is nothing new.

How pointless was the collapsing building in Vienna.
The Miami airport was right out of Die Hard 2.

It was closer to Licence to Kill.

I think Craig was a great Bond, I don't think Clive Owen would have worked.

Remember Die Another Day set the record for product placement with $120 million worth of deals with twenty four various companies for product placement and/or tie-ins, Royale cut down considerably.

1. Sean Connery
2. Daniel Craig
3. Timothy Dalton
4. George Lazenby
5. Pierce Brosnan
6. Roger Moore.

How about you?
