Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action

[BreakABone]

Sorry about the delay, but had this up and ready to go last night and then for some strange reason all the text disappeared. Was not a happy Penguin.

Anyhow, the next movie in our Bond-tastic October is Thunderball.


Our Bond for the 4th time is Sean Connery.


Our Bond girl Dominique Derval


Our bond villain is number 2 himself, Emilio Largo


This movie is famous for its VERY extended underwater chase scene.

Film intro/Theme

Alternate Theme

Thunderball Trailer

This seems like a two man operation with an Uber thrown in.

No time to watch Goldfinger tonight.

So shall watch 2 tomorrow to make up

[BreakABone]

Thunderball is a fun movie, but the climax is shot so oddly. It just comes off looking cheesy.

This thread may rise from day to day, but You Only Live Twice... or so it seems... Okay these are getting worse and worse, I admit.

But yeah the next movie in our marathon is You Only Live Twice.


And for the 5th time, Sean Connery is our James Bond.

Instead of Felix Leither, Bond gets some assistance from Tiger Tanaka


The first Mrs. Bond, Kissy


And our enemy who you get to see for the first time, Blofeld


The Trailer

The Opening Credits/Theme Song

One of my favorite themes.

Just finished Goldfinger.


A good movie. More fast paced then the previous 2 and he only lands 2 ladies.




So far have to say I prefer From Russia With Love

[Swan]

And just finished Thunderball. One of my favorite Bond themes so far.


Good again but was not that big a fan of the underwater scenes, which took up a good portion of the movie. Only 3 ladies done again, if I am not mistaken, thus making From Russia still the champ all thanks to the gypsy threesome.



And I noticed at the end they totally whipped out the skyhook manuever that Dark Knight totally stole


You Only Live Twice is on my agenda for tomorrow

[BreakABone]

Anyhow, finished You Only Live Twice a bit ago. It's a fun movie. Ninjas storming a volcanic base, come on!

Our next film, is in my opinion one of the best in the franchise, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.


This is the 6th film in the series and the first to not star our man Connery.
So our James Bond for the first (and only) time is George Lazenby


Our Bond girl is the only true Mrs. Bond, Tracy di Vicenzo


Our returning villain with a new look, Blofeld.


The Trailer
As an aside, I really do enjoy the cheesy voice-overs of the trailers. They don't make em like this anymore.

The Opening Credit/Theme
I believe this was due to remind folks that it was the same character, but like the use of old footage in the intro. And a really well done theme song.

And when the movie is done shall post the other themes, one of my favorite moments in the entire series.

Watched You Only Live Twice today.


It was good but it felt like the whole movie was filler.


And his bone count is still at 3. Damn that gypsy threesome
