Connery was the most plausable, but surely the special effects is what these films are about nowadays.

Who can tell the difference between the first and the last

All as predictable as each other

Now a spy saga like the Eiger Sanction(1975) pisses on any of the Bond films IMO

I wonder what type of James Bond Clint Eastwood would have made?

If I were picking the best Bond Film

Which ever one starred George Lazenby

cheers
B...OZ...LOL

I liked George Lazenby.......anyone who shagged Joanna Lumley is ok in MY book, and then he played around behind her back to boot! Top Bloke (As Aussies go)

Definetly Timothy Dalton. He acted Bond the way Fleming intented him to be, an angry, bitter, occasionally twisted bastard. As for the arguments that he was too serious just think about his job, secret agent for HRH. He should be deadly fucking serious. Not like that tosser Roger Moore.

Thats the one mastermind Steve56

They had some rather interesting characters although the critics bagged it

Jemima Brown was the flasher/native Indian

As you said walcott-played Pope-classic

What about Miles Melough or however you spell it?

cheers

PS I agree Ace George certainly showed up David Niven-the 1st JB I believe in Casino Royale although I could be mistaken

Bond trivia #1: The first actor to portray Bond was our very own Bob "Blockbusters" Holness, who acted the role on radio some years before the US tv Casino Royale.

Bond trivia#2: Who came in and sorted out the lighting on the oil tanker interior when set designer Ken Adam ran into difficulty? One of his old employers, Kubrick.

Humble apologies. I'm referring to The Spy Who Loved Me in the second bit of trivia.

Last Word I think you maybe mistaken about the first actor to play bond, he was the first British actor to play Bond (it was in a raido serial) but the yanks made a film/tv series of Dr. No about two years after the book was released. If memory serves the guy who played the first Felix Lighter played Jimmy Bond CIA operative.
