I've gone for that as well, it might have something to do with Jane Seymour.

Goldfinger, Thunderball, plus the with the Golden Gun: Perhaps Javier Bardem was chosen to play the villain (Raoul Silva) in Skyfall because of the Bondesque titled Golden Balls that he starred in in 1993.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Balls_(film) Better that than Fingerballs.... or Goldmember perhaps for that matter. Enjoyable, fun film, I thought (twas a good one to watch with my girlfriend), that has nothing to do with James Bond except that it shares Javier Bardem, and when I heard he was playing the villain I made that association.

Better yet, remake Golden Gun with Bardem as Francisco Scaramanga. |

He has a powerful weapon He charges a million a shot... The man with the golden [balls]. ... Who will he bang? We shall see, oh yeah! Love is required, whenever he's hired It comes… I only changed the word gun there in the song lyrics. The innuendo worked a little better in the song when it was still gun methinks. |

Roald Dahl was friends with Ian Fleming, the lyricist for "You Only Live Twice", Leslie Bricusse, was a very good friend of my dad. Edited by Logan - October 15 2019 at 17:33 |

Always held a soft spot for George Lazenby and Mrs. Bond (now deceased), Diana Rigg, in Switzerland in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

For one moment there, I thought you meant Diana Rigg was deceased, but thankfully, she's still with us.

Considering some the 'Bond' dreck that came after this one, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was a considerably decent James Bond film. I liked it.

That's a tough one...I like all the early Connery films....but Goldfinger is my favorite with him.
And then to be honest I'm a big fan of Craig.....I think Skyfall is simply a killer film.

.....And Daniel Craig makes a perfect killer as James Bond - probably the most ruthless killer of all the Bonds. He was very good in "Munich" too, where he also played a ruthless killer.

Thunderball, owner of one of the best movie lines ever: Largo (the great Adolfo Celi) walks around the shark infested pool with a shotgun and asks Bond (Connery) : " So what do you think of this rifle?" to which Sean answers "Itch a womange Riffoh" (it is a woman's rifle). Celi: "I see you know a lot about guns". Connery: "No, I know a lot about women" . Sexist but funny

Hi,
Was not quite a fan of these, and always thought that it was just another studio hype thing, and since they had the best money, they could buy anyone they wanted for their films. Some very nice looking women in the films, but honestly, I didn't think they made the films any better, and too much of the filming (it was the 60's that started it!) was filmed with that keyhole mentality about the women in their skimpy outfits ... something that is a part of the history of films, but even Playboy mentioning it in their yearly thing on movies and sex, it never left ... Most actors were boring and not worthy of a mention. I can only remember one exception. CHRISTOPHER LEE ... was worth watching every minute of it ...
