Of all the actors who played James Bond, Timothy Dalton is my personal favourite. He was a killing machine who, deep down, loathed the life he has, and is not afraid of disobeying authority when it comes to exacting revenge on criminals who hurt a friend of his. And of all 25 Bond films, On Her Majesty's secret service is my favourite due to being a good balance between action and drama, supporting each other, as well as the best Blofeld in the form of the great Telly Savallas.

What seems to be ignored nowadays is modern Action films got their template from the Bond films. There is a clear cut between films made pre 1960 and those made 1968 onwards so much so they seem like different worlds. Inbetween was the transition period and the most popular fictional character of this time was Bond. The action hero archetype, the exotic locales, colorful villains, beautiful female, the almost cartoonish invulnerability, the sense of fun and spectacular action sequences all came together here. These are taken for granted now. Before this "action" was westerns, crime dramas, swashbuckler adventure films. More films with action scenes in them. Then in the 1980s the Bond template creates the action movie formula, where the same template has the action as the point of the whole thing.

Bond is clearly one of the gold standards of pop culture with some of the biggest influences of all time. We've seen so many great parodies of spy thrillers with Bond being heavily referenced and spoofed. From Get Smart to Austin Powers to Archer. Which begs the question. With all the cartoon parodies of James Bond, how come the actual James Bond cartoon sucked so much? Everyone's done a James Bond parody, how come those are all so much better done than the official one?

Fun fact: Legendary actor Christopher Lee was Ian Flemming's step-cousin and he played the titular Bond-villian in The Man with the Golden Gun. Lee would during his career play Dracula and Frankenstein's monster in The Hammer Horror Movies as well as Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes and late in his life wizard Saruman in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogy and Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. Lee was a fan of Tolkien's books and read The Lord of the Rings every year throughout his life since they were published and met J R R Tolkien (the only actor in the LOTR cast and crew to do so), who gave him the blessing of playing Gandalf (though he auditioned for the role, he landed on Saruman as Lee was in his late 70's at the time, making it too demanding with all the traveling, riding and fighting which was required for Gandalf's character which Ian McKellen was more suitable, being in his 60's during 1999 and 2000). The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies was the final film he did before passing away in 2015 at the age of 93.

James Bond was considered for a slot in Super Smash Bros. Melee due to Goldeneye's massive impact in the FPS genre, but he was quickly turned down due to both not originating from a video game, using realistic firearms, and requiring Brosnan's likeness at the time, which would've costed more than the game's given budget.

A cool thing that I did with my dad is we watched every James Bond movie chronologically. We did this starting when I was in middle school. Looking back, I think starting James Bond when I was 11 was too young, but I do have fond memories. Pierce Brosnan was always Bond to me. I grew up when he was the current Bond (Just as Sean Connery is Bond for my Dad). But also I thought Brosnan was just so cool and handsome. I mean my family had a James Bond board game and the Goldeneye video game so Brosnan was the Bond I always saw. But also, I tripped over my local tv station playing re-runs of Remington Steele and I loved him in that too. I will always love the more fantastical approach to bond because Superheroes were always my favorite thing growing up. So while I now understand why they took the approach they did with the Daniel Craig era, I personally can't appreciate it and it doesn't appeal to me much. I no longer care to see the James Bond movies and I don't believe I've seen the latest 2. Edit: But now I don't have to worry about looking forward to Bond films anymore now that Superhero films are actually a thing now. So i'm overly satisfied. It's okay, all you Daniel Craig era fans can have Bond now.

Also, it's great for you to make another Pop Culture Evolution video after the Superman vid, to the point where I've really enjoyed watching this one.

The character seems to appear in 1976's Silver Streak, starring Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh, and Richard Pryor. Here, the character is called "Reace," but would appear almost exactly the same in The Spy Who Loved Me in 1977, as Jaws.

At least now his fan base has grown.

Every James Bond portrayal is what makes Bond what he is today. The Best 007 film in my opinion however is The Spy Who loved Me. The perfect blend of Bonds charm and serious mixed with the outlandish and fun. The Spy Who Loved Me should satisfy the tastes of ANY Bond fan. Oddly it has got a weak villain that is unfortunately forgettable but makes up for that drawback with the greatest henchman of the series in Jaws. Roger Moore in his prime and the sexy Agent XXX it is by far my favorite and the perfect blend of Bonds.

Excellent Evolution (no surprise there). The other '60s Bond-inspired movie characters left out Matt Helm, played by Dean Martin (!). There was also an oddly related movie "Operation: Kid Brother" starring Connery's brother Neil, a tongue-in-cheek B picture featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (named "Operation: Double 007" in that copy of the movie). Probably not noteworthy for the video, but worth a mention here.
Sir Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, & Daniel Craig were the best James Bond actors, playing 007 seriously and looking the part. James Bond was always meant to be a serious character by Ian Fleming, who Created 007.

He has the physique build Ian Fleming describes in the novel "For Your Eyes Only", he has that English accent and could easily portray a flamboyant style yet is the man ready for any type of action the criminal element throw at him. He has starred in many action movies to date. Check out how good he looks in a suit. He would be my James Bond character down to a T.

Saying that Fleming's Bond is like David Niven's version and then saying that he's like Timothy Dalton's version is a major contradiction. Dalton is like Fleming's Bond, while David Niven is not. Fleming may have envisioned Niven in the role, but Niven did not play the part the way Fleming envisioned it. Niven's Bond is a comic version of a prig who dresses like a dandy. That's not Fleming's Bond. P.S.- Niven was 57 when the movie was released not 52.
