[@robbiereilly]

And to think, the Bond films were all produced by an American family: Cubby Broccoli and family, along with Canadian Harry Saltzman in the first Bonds up to 'Man with a Golden Gun'. The films were directed by British directors whom Cubby hired, and the German designer (who became a British citizen) Ken Adam (recommended by Stanley Kubrick) who designed much of the look of Bond, rounding out the films with mostly British and Canadian cast and crew. A lot of folks don't know that it was Cubby and company who introduced the gadgets, and many more iconic elements of Bond, none of which are in the novels. As much as I like Ian Fleming's writing, the films are far superior stories in my opinion.

[@mrmeerkat1096]

@@robbiereilly yes the film's have added some iconic elements to Bond. But I don't know what the Craig era has added to the character or his world that is positive. All I can think is a emotional story arc, as long as they don't go overboard with it. The only other thing is from casino royal, and that is attention to detail with the script/ story. Have that be the driving force of the movie not just the action set pieces. But they have to get that balance right.

The Bond Series has never really gotten the credit for some of the insane stunts that they pull off. The water-skiing sequence from License to Kill is one of those stunts that I just struggle to fathom whenever I watch it.

[@peteshea8010]

Thing is, Cruise did that stunt himself at age 61. Moore was ten years younger when "The Spy Who Loved Me" was filmed, but a stuntman did this jump. The older brother of a good friend of mine in college from New Hampshire, USA (lots of skiing) was good friends with the skier/stuntman who did this. Do you now see the huge difference in this comparison?

I am younger, so I was not alive when these James bond movies were released, when I was very little as a kid only the Pierce Brosnan ones came out. I decided to look at the Roger Moore ones, the Sean Connery ones, and obviously the newer ones with Daniel Craig. I must say, the Roger Moore ones appear to be the pinnacle of the franchise. Also only the Goldeneye one with Brosnan was good, the other ones were boring, and the modern ones with Daniel Craig are incredibly boring.

[@esmeephillips5888]

The two most durable British film series, the cheap and cheerful Carry Ons and the opulent Bonds, had in common a smutty joviality (esp. when Moore took over) which this sequence displays: 'Tell him to pull out immediately... Sorry, darling, something came up.' For FYEO Broccoli hired an unlikely writer: Chris Wood, an adman. He penned risque pulp novels on the train to work, such as 'Confessions of a Window Cleaner', stiff with double entendres and what the tabloids called 'romps'. Another link is the treacherous blonde, Eva Rueber-Staier, Miss World 1969. She was in two more Bonds and the last classic Carry On, 'Carry On Dick". In real life Eva, now 72, was a respectable Austrian convent girl. She married an Englishman, was widowed, married another and is now a sculptress and lady of the manor in Middlesex.

All do that… *[holds finger in a circle shape over one eye]* with your fingers round your eye. I’m Roger Moore. Bang! Blood dribbles down. We’re on a submarine. Two sailors sit down and have a game of chess. And the cups start wobbling. And then a man that used to be in The Onedin Line comes in and goes “Why are all the cups wobbling, what’s going on?” *[Michael indicates if he can take his hand away from his eye]* Yeah, you can stop doing that now. And then he pulls down the periscope and he looks through it and goes “Oh, my god - the submarine’s being eaten by a giant tanker!” And then we cut to Moscow. And there’s man there, he’s Russian, he’s got eyebrows, you know. He’s on the phone going “What? A whole submarine? You’re joking?! I’m gonna have to tell some other Russians, see ya!” And then it cuts to James, Roger Moore, and yes, he’s with a lady. He’s necking with her. And he goes “I’ve got to go, love, something’s come up!”… (Michael: Aye! He means his cock!) Anyway, then he puts on his underpants and his ski suit, and he gets on his skis and starts skiing. And he’s being chased by these Russian shits in black jumpsuits with lemon piping. And he’s skiing along, and they start shooting at him and he goes “I’ve had enough of that, just stop it!” And he turns round with his gun, then he does a backward somersault off this ramp and he lands on his feet. I’m not sure why. But he’s not showing off. And then he goes over a cliff and he’s falling, and you think, God, James Bond’s going to die! He’s going to die! But then, at the last minute… (Michael: He pulls a rip-cord, right. And a parachute comes oot, and it’s got a Union Jack…) Michael! Michael! (Michael: But that’s how it ends!) That’s not the end of the beginning! The end of the beginning goes like this: glang glanga-langa langa langa langa lang…glang-alang glang-alang alang, nobody does it better…and I’m a naked woman in silhouette with a gun, spinning round. Makes me feel sad for the rest. Nobody does it…oh, bit of nipple. Quite as good as you, baby you’re the best. And now a really big bounce, right over, and I land on my feet. I wasn’t looking and somehow you found me…oh, bit of bush! I tried to hide from your love life…and a woman swinging on a Luger. A giant Luger. Oh, look at that! Like heaven above me…and now another naked woman, walking along the top of a gun, completely Billy Bollocks. The spy who loved me is keeping all my secrets safe tonight…and then one more big swing from a woman, legs go right up…oh, what was that? Too late! Nobody does it half as good as you, BABY YOU’RE THE BEEEST!!!!! I think it was something like that.
