Re: Celebrating 60 Years of James Bond

Just to add to this for people who don't go to the Cinema or can't afford the ridiculous cost.

All 25 Bond movies will be available on Amazon Prime at no additional cost from 15th April for a limited time.

That's a shame, the 67 Casino Royale is by far the best "Bond" film, after all it has more than one James Bond and you can't beat that. Still I have that one on DVD.

These were made by different production companies and are usually regarded as “unofficial” even though they had the rights to make them at the time.

The “official” 25 Bond films are all made by Eon.

Casino Royale is awful regardless of anything.

Never Say Never Again, which is a remake of Thunderball was only made because of a rights issue.


NSNA was up against Octopussy and Roger Moore, and they were both too old. I thought Connery was still better.

Re: Celebrating 60 Years of James Bond

I think it's a shame Amazon got the right to it even if Eon have a large degree of control. There are already rumours of a TV show set the universe and Amazon are going to want to milk the IP.

In a world of everything being a universe, I quite liked Bond being an event movie every 3 years or so.

The world of James Bond is hitting the streaming world a lot sooner than you’d think.

Amazon’s Prime Video has greenlit its first TV show based on the iconic British spy with “007’s Road to a Million,” a Bond-style spin on a race around the world.

Production on “007’s Road to a Million” will begin later this year, and the new show will launch on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. Casting is underway and applicants are being invited to send in submissions.

The show will see contestants competing in a global adventure to win a £1 million ($1.3 million) cash prize. Filmed in many of the historic locations featured throughout the seminal Bond films, the “cinematic format” will be a test of intelligence and endurance. In addition to passing physical obstacles, the contestants — who will compete in two-person teams — must correctly answer questions hidden in different locations around the world in order to advance to the next challenge
https://variety.com/2022/tv/global/j...gm-1235214551/

It sounds like a James Bond themed version of the Krypton Factor

I noticed they are skipping 1983s "Never say never again" (Im glad im not the only one who didnt like that)

The earliest one I have seen is Thunderball I believe but I didnt really like it... First one I really love is YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967) Which I have on VHS

I have also seen these

1) FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (Rioger Moore) - Have it on VHS
2) Octopussy (Roger Moore) - Have it on VHS
4) View to a kill (Roger moore) - Have it on VHS
5) Licence to kill - Timmy Dalton - Have it on VHS
6) Tommorow never dies - Pierce Browson

Re: Celebrating 60 Years of James Bond

They are skipping Never Say Never Again as it wasn't part of the main franchise and is just a remake of Thunderball.

So you've never seen any Connery, Lazenby, Moore or Dalton? I've seen all of them so many times.

Re: Celebrating 60 Years of James Bond

Missus and I are working our way through Moore first, as these are the ones we remember best from our childhoods (I’m guessing these were the ones most often repeated on TV in the 80s as they were the newest ones at the time). I have never seen them uninterrupted, high definition and widescreen before, so this is turning out to be a real treat.

ya, my parents and grandparents had them all on video when I was very young and I watched them many times. The two bits I looked forward to in every film was the opening action scene and the obligatory trip to Q half way through the film to get the latest tech and gadgets.
