The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

Irma Bunt. The actress herself died before Diamonds Are Forever in 1971 but it's darkly ironic that the person who actually pulled the trigger and killed Tracy Bond survived her film and then vanished into the ether of the canon, never again to be seen or even mentioned.
There's only one Bunt, but lots of Bonds and Leiters. One of the few times Bond films didn't recast.

Fun fact: I haven't watched it either. But I figured the intent was obvious based on the context provided by the thumbnail image. :shrug:
Yeah, I thought so too from the thumbnails.

I’d probably opt either for Craig in NTTD or Lazenby in OHMSS.

Craig has an advantage in that his is probably the only one that was intended as his swansong when the film was written and went into production. Moore used to say that every film was his last, but always came back (apparently he even expected to come back after AVTAK). I guess Connery thought he wouldn’t be back after YOLT and knew he wouldn’t after DAF, but neither film was really written as a goodbye.

Lazenby just got lucky, if that’s the right way of putting it, in that THAT scene was his last one.
 
He did. He was lucky both his first scene as Bond and his last were memorable and well-regarded. It's hard to argue that for the others except for maybe Dalton.
 
The Living Daylights definitely has a lot to recommend it, including a good intro for Dalton, good performances from Maryam d'Abo and John Rhys-Davies, and an absolute scene-stealer from Jeroen Krabbé.

Dalton had the best "Bond, James Bond ever." He just threw it away like it was an annoyance.

Bronsan (and the movie) went in the whole other direction. "I've been waiting to say this my WHOLE LIFE!" The music even stops. Still great. Just not as good.

I love it when Robbie Coltrane (oh good, I've actually forgotten a Bond character's name) calls him "Bond James Bond!" in The World is Not Enough.
