What I think is interesting from these clips is how each bond feels about killing in general. Connery is very cool, calm, and collected, he thinks nothing of it, he even takes the time to light his cigar to wait for the man to go after the empty gun on the floor so Connery could justifiably make his move. He's calculated and intelligent, but extremely deadly. Pierce Bronson is more remorseful when he has to kill someone unarmed, he doesn't like to do it but will for queen and country, and you can tell he struggles between being a cold killer and a gentlemen. Daniel Craig is a soldier. Craig's bond is a loner and a special forces man who never really disengaged from combat mentality, he looks at whatever his country needs him to be or do as part of the job. He doesn't like killing, but he doesn't dislike it, he's just a soldier in a nicer uniform. Both Moore and Dalton, however, (Dalton in particular) play it very differently. Both Moore's and Dalton's Bonds are proud Englishmen in their Majesty's Secret Service, and they seem to enjoy every part of their job, even murder. Moore is cold and damning, but Dalton's Bond in particular goes the extra mile by using the briefcase of money to kill his enemy in such a brutal fashion that proves he cares more about eliminating his Majesty's enemies than money or any other resource. Moore comes off as a cold blooded killer and Dalton feels like a loyal extremist. All very different and very interesting takes on the character.
Yeah Connery's Bond always made the impression of being a little bored by his work, he's an uncompromising hedonist enjoying the physical pleasures of life (like casual sex, or drinking a Martini while taking a bath, or having Beluga caviar and foie gras from Strasbourg for lunch), but at the same time dutifully doing his job, because it's his job after all, the way he earns his living. He's a cynical hedonist believing in nothing.
As you say, each actor has his own version of Bond, each brings their own twist to the agent. I’m firmly in the Connery camp, he’s been comfortably my favourite Bond for years, Craig is in second place. For me Moore’s version of Bond is the least interesting and I suspect that’s as much to do with the poor lines he was given, some of the puns were beyond awful, as it is to do with his acting.
adznz11 Casino Royale is only good because its based on the book of the same name from Ian Fleming... And daniel craig dont even resemble the James Bond of the book i dont care about this bullshit about what people think its real or not... i care about a well portrait character and no way in hell that craig can make a true bond... If you dont like bond movies dont watch ,dont fuck with a classic movie ! i dont care if The A-team or Mcgyver is not real !!! why the fuck i would care about a fictional character like James bond !
Connery putting his gun down and lighting up while holding a man hostage. Oh man, it was a different time back then. "I never miss..." is the coldest in the whole series. By far.
It's especially awesome since Bond's usual thing is a post-mortem one-liner. In this case he feels shitty about it, but is still fulfilling his obligation. No whimsical smile or amusement behind it.
i was in the cinima thining Craige was not going to be any good as bond. 1.1 seconds after that line know that this was going to be the best bond movie i ever saw. and it still si today
Doesn't really count, even though Bond thought he killed Trevelyan, it was the wreckage of the satellite that really finished him off. He was screaming as it fell on him and crushed him, so he was still alive somehow before then.
Isn't there anybody besides me who likes ALL the Bonds, and thinks that each star brought something unique to the role? I can't be the only one who isn't hopelessly provincial about this.
I agreed that each bond actor brought something to the role even George Lazenby haha But can't say that every bond film has been great especially Roger Moore films. He has the honor of doing the most films (7) and yet only two of them in my book were actually that great, you can guess yourselves which ones I mean. Its a pity Dalton didn't replace Moore a bit earlier as I think he would have been better suited in a view to a kill as someone mentioned below. Dalton to this day is the most completely underated bond star and its a shame he didn't do more bond films back then because I loved the two films he was actually in.
the best bonds for me are the ones who go strictly towards the books, Given the fact Timothy Dalton read all of the bonds books in preparation for the roll, I'd say he was the best, then Daniel Craig.
What makes Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig such excellent James Bonds was that they were cold assassins and had short tempers which is how he was in the books.
Dalton is also the only one who delivers the line, "Bond, James Bond" naturally; not like an actor visibly trying to sound iconic (which is why it's the best). Sean Connery comes second in his delivery, and then Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, but Dalton is the actor least *pretending to be* James Bond, and *just is James Bond.*
Timothy Dalton is the coldest Bond ever. His face when Killifer and Krest were dying is unbelievable. His expression makes us believe that he is the real person that wants their deaths. Timothy Dalton isn't an actor. He is the real Bond.
I like how he dispatches Elektra. The same ruthless Bond I saw when Sean Connery played him and slapped Tatiana calling her "LIAR" as she implores to him that she loves him. Really cold!
I have to love that opening kill from Casino Royale the most, the brief flash of the family photo on his desk as he goes flying backward, the black and white, everything just makes that scene seem even colder.
HRHoochicken have you actually read any of the james bond novels because Timothy Dalton read the books when he got the part of 007 and the guy who originally played Q said out of all the actors who played 007 Timothy was closest the man you read in the novels
Each actor brought something unique and enjoyable to the role. Connery was, of course, the most manly Bond…sultry and cruel. Lazenby played the closest Bond to Flemming's books. Moore was the most English Bond, dry-witted and gentlemanly. Dalton was the most human Bond, and the Bond I most believed genuinely cared whether innocents lived or died. Brosnon was the most boyish Bond, and really loved the job. And Craig is the most complex Bond, struggling with emotions and roiling rage, dramatic and grave. Even the worst of the Bond films are better than some of the best sequels, licenses, and reboots that pass for entertainment today. :^/
I liked how Bond gained humour with Roger Moore, became more serious with Timothy Dalton, acquired extra charm with Pierce Brosnan and grew more rough with Daniel Craig. George Lazenby doesn't really stand out for me but his film was still good.
@@Atoronz well Carver's death was also personal and cold. Considered the fact that was to revenge Paris. In fact, after her death, the mission become personal and he did pursuit the revenge plot, like in Licence to Kill. The world is not enough, is my favourite movie, and Elektra was my favourite villain, specially because of her complexity. Elektra was not world domination for the sake of it, she did have a motive, either we like it or not. And her could death become the most sad killing that bond felt after Travis (goldeneye)... Specially in the book, Bond felt so bad by shooting her, that he did stayed with Elektra iwhile she drowing in her own blood and while she was singing. He didnt wanted to desert her, like others did to her.
I think I'm one of the very few that believed Timothy Dalton's "License to Kill" Bond was the best Bond period. I think the fact that he played it with such a seriousness that gave it a genuine feel.
His both Bond movies went to more realistic and serious tone after Roger Moores many flicks, though i liked his humour. His both and only movies were very solid 007 movies followed by Brosnans amazing bond Goldeneye. Rest of Pierces movies were kinda bad.
Dalton was my favorite Bond until Craig came along; always thought Dalton played the most realistic Bond until Craig; and it was too bad he didn't get more credit.
I think my problem with Dalton was that his films tried to have their cake and eat it with the seriousness. Going for a grim tone while also having shark pits and suchlike.
AgentMrX7 Why wouldnt he just of shot her in the leg to show he was serious tho & make her call it off?? Instead he kills her & dives out the window, swims to the submarine to stop it himself lmao but yea screw them Brosnan is the best Bond.
Exactly - when I watch some of the 007 franchise movies, only these with Pierce Brosnan have that specific atmosphere and ambiance. He had this very unique style of play and portraying James Bond. Older ones, from 70s or 80 are too much archaic, even the way how they acted in these movies is a relic of the past. From the other hand, modern movies with 007 have nothing related to the PB's parts due to lack of mystery, characters mutually deceiving each other and much more. In my opinion, movies with Pierce Brosnan are trully iconic and they make the Golden Mean in the franchise.
Tomorrow Never Dies is one of my favorites the villain controlling the news to star a war is such a great story and fitting for whatever time you watch it in where as a lot of the older movies well feel old, and while I enjoy the Craig films(Casino Royal is in my top 3 bond movies for sure) they miss the charm that bond should have the movies are too hardcore.
Age gives to nearly everything a golden shine but not everything that shines deserve that status. The old Bond films were made when people have another needs in terms of cinema, when people were fascinated about gadgets, flying machines or even flying cars because they doesn't figure hot it could be. Star Trek is an example, people were surprised that Lt. Uhura had something on her left ear and she can speak with that device ... Now we can figure that it is a simply bluetooth device. And the same things happens with the actors and how they act and even the feeling of being smart or not had changed by the time. For me, the old Bond is like a plain character, always trying to look smart and trying to sell the idea of 0 feelings, the new Bonds ( Brosnam and Craig) looks smart but at the same time more visceral, more human and at the same time, if you look what they do and thinking that they have feelings, more inhuman.
***** true because his is a cold blooded killer but it was how he shot her in the world is not enough like she meant nothing to him but thts bond for you
+greennin Hate is a strong word. Brosnan just got bad press because his last Bond movie (Die Another Day) was so over the top. I liked him as 007 too, his other films were good.
Brosnan also had a quite a challenge as Bond. James Bond is pretty much tied to Cold War, so Brosnan had his work cut out for him trying to bring Bond to "modern age" without making his character unrecognizable. I doubt that anyone else could've done that transition any better, to be honest.
The problem with Pierce Brosnan is that the movies looked too generic and were made a la video game instead to be "a movie" . Goldeneye was an okay-ish movie but got it's glory because the N64 video game if the game wasn't made i'm sure the movie wouldn't be so prized . Tommorow Never Dies is a bland movie and is a remake from For Your Eyes Only and The Spy who Loved Me The World is not Enough was boring i feel sorry for french actress Sophie Marceau to be in that movie . As the vilain Renard he was more there as a filler offered nothing to the movie Die Another Say yeah well it clearly signed the fahrwell to the Bond franchise , the silly CGI and the over the top eastereggs from older bond movies . The bad choice of Bond Girls , Denise Richards, Halle Berry, Rosamunde Pike . The forced cameo from the whiny little bitch Madonna . The bad soundtrack/music only Goldeneye from Tina Turner was excellent . The rest was ugly . Anyway since Goldeneye to Spectre only 2 soundtracks were excellent Goldeneye by Tina Turner & Skyfall by Adele . John Barry is really missing , he made such excellent work in movies similar as to what Jerry Goldsmith do .
ELEKTRA! One of my first fictional crushes, I'm not ashamed to say. Her story is so sad. You'd think Bond could've shot the phone out of her hand or something...
yes, who read the book, understood that she was more tragic villain than a world domination type. she was evil because of the circumstances of life. A elektra death did marked bond. Before Killing renard he says "she's waiting for you" this line is delivered with sadness and same time honor her because she is in peace. she is one of my favorite villains in Bond Universe
'Tis how they dealt with thots back in the 90s. We've grown soft. (She betrayed him, tortured him and held M hostage. No matter how much of a lady she was, she needed to die.)
I am happy to help! Skyfall is a masterpiece. Cinematically & visually stunning, director Mendes really brings sheer beauty to every shot, like paintings on canvas. He made colors pop and did amazing things with lighting and contrast. Each segment had a unique look to it, a stroke of genius. I loved the script - brilliant backstory of James' origin & superb acting. There was so much heart. Also the nods to past Bond incarnations which was such a treat on the eve of the 50th Anniversary.
I wish he did A View to a Kill rather than Moore. It was an awesome film but Moore was just too old at that point and it really shows in parts. Dalton would have been perfect. I have to say The Living Daylights is one of my favourite Bond films.
TalesOfWar I think Dalton almost did star in a View to Kill but didn't quite materialise. Brosnon nearly ended up replacing Moore in For Your Eyes Only haha
Man, Brosnan looks so scary and mean when he is serious! The way he said, "I won't ask again" One of my favourite actors and my favourite Bond, along with Connery!
1:15 "It's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six". That's one COLD motherfucker. The scene is still AWESOME 50 years later... Connery IS "Bond. JAMES Bond". The rest of 'em can't even say that right!
that first clip from Dr No,was a 1911 which holds 7 rounds, not the Smith & Wesson bond says it is, kinda funny they would have made that sort of mistake.
Clearly it was written to be a revolver and the director didn't give a shit about firearms detail. Like bonds gun changes in the scene from a PPK to a silenced FN because the movie armourer couldn't get a silencer that would fit a PPK. A lot of people just don't care and certainly don't notice.
Bond's gun is also moody in that film. It's explicitly meant to be a PPK but in several scenes it's clearly a full size PP & at least once he has a Sauer 38h or an FN 1910 as Sly previously said. it's hard to make out which tho.
1:14 No, it's specifically an M1911, which has a magazine capacity of 7. And I can't believe the assassin tried to pick the gun up being that the slide locked back, indicating the magazine is empty. Older movies always did have problems with continuity.
I imagine the assassin was desperate because he didn't have a backup weapon and he already showed he wanted to kill Bond, and perhaps the gun closed when it was dropped. Either way he wasn't paying attention to details, and knew he had to do something to save his own life. The gun was convenient, and there wasn't a bludgeon nearby that he could get at before Bond noticed and shot with the gun in his lap.
Smith & Wesson made three models of 1911-style semiautos before Dr. No was made: The Model 39 (8-round magazine,) the Model 41 (10-round magazine,) and the Model 52 (5-round magazine). It would only make sense that this would be a Smith & Wesson Model 52--which was, in 1962, a brand-new gun, still quite rare, and made for precision target shooting. It would be possible to have 6-shot capacity in the 52, providing one loaded the chamber first, and then "topped off" with a full 5-round magazine. Unusual for a 1911-style semiauto, the Model 52 uses midrange .38spl wadcutter ammo, which is often subsonic, which would be nice for an assassin using with a silencer. So that makes sense too. But you are 100% correct on the slide locking back on an empty chamber, so it's impossible the gunman would think he could shoot Bond.
PristineTX, none of the S&W models you've mentioned are 1911 styles. The frames and/or the slides are wrong for 1911 style, S&W didn't make a 1911 till around 2003 from research i have done.
I grew up with Pierce Bronsan and Roger Moore's interpretation of 007, but Sean Connery and Daniel Craig were my kind of Bond to be honest. Also even though I haven't seen a lot of Timothy Dalton's Bond movies, I really liked the cold and edginess that he brought to his 007 (which is something that hasn't been seen until Craig came along)... So overall if I had to choose a James Bond actor that came close to the ones in the books. I'd say Dalton and Craig fit that category, but that's just my opinion.
+Strider Hiryu "Also even though I haven't seen a lot of Timothy Dalton's Bond movies, I really liked the cold and edginess that he brought to his 007" Judging from this is, I think it is safe to assume that you have seen at least one of Timothy Dalton's 007 movies. If that is the case, you've seen half of them which, in my book, IS a lot.
Normally, I'd agree with that, as it was very cold of him. But he didn't actually kill Alec in that scene: rather he let him fall from the satellite array and left him to his fate when it collapsed.
Great video! Really included some of bond`s best and most ruthless kills, I also enjoyed how you got all the major bonds and their respected scenes.. Also the scene where Moore bond is killing Stromberg was pretty cold, he basically shot him 4 times before he died :)
Killifer deserved it. He betrayed Leiter so it wouldn't have taken him long to betray Sanchez and that wouldn't have gone well. Sanchez got it into his head that Heller and Krest were plotting against him and one was impaled on a forklift while the other was locked in a high pressure chamber until he quite literally went out of his head. So essentially, feeding Killifer to a shark was doing him a favour.
Ally Todd : Not Krest, he was set up by 007 - thus explaining his genuine innocence when he was trying to explaining himself to Sanchez - and displaying Bond's determination to destroy Sanchez' criminal empire!.
Too bad. Even with subsonic rounds, there is a loss of only 60-80 decibels. What it DOES do is diffuse the sound so you can't pinpoint where it comes from.
1:38 Roger Moore's defining moment as James Bond (And only my second Bond movie ever, when I was a kid.). We needed more of that from him. He could do it when he tried. Just as good as Connery.
Conspicuously missing from this compilation was the greatest and most stylish Bond kill of all. The defeat of Odd Job in the vault of Ft. Knox. Connery diving for the loose electrical wire as Odd Job reached to free his deadly hat from the bars. Connery grabs the wire and touches it to the bars electrocuting Odd Job. When the Calvary arrives Bond is asked "where is Odd Job". To which he replies, "He blew a fuse!!!". Daniel Craig's kill in the opening of Casino Royal is a very good one though. What I like about Craig, is that he does not try to imitate Connery. He is his own Bond.
No kidding, especially considering Bond had already cleaned the guy out at poker and seduced his wife, all in the same day. Remind me not to piss off Bond.
I liked Moore's very much in FYEO. He's thought of as a bland Bond, but he can be quite tough at times. Here, by kicking the car (he didn't feel confortable doing it though). In Octopussy he shoots a guard right between the eyes.
Disagree. Bond definitely wanted Locke dead because Bond liked the little Italian agent that Locke killed for the sake of it. Imo he was itching to boot that car over the edge.
when pirece was bond he did bring out a cold side to him like when he threw off sean bean of that satellite in goldeneye and when he killed dr kuffmann in toworrow never dies when he say i'm just a professional doing a job and bond replies me too and it a personal kill to 007 and yet in the world is not enough he killed electra like she mean nothing to him
You forgot the Roger Moore scene with the tie and the butler. The butler gives him the info he needs and Bond just lets him die anyway, cause fuck saving people.
Really now! Where is Tomorrow Never Dies "im just a professional"scene Peirce Bronson's emotionless face when he kills the hitman is borderline sociopathic.
Thomas Templeton The bad guy was going to die anyway as the car was slipping over the edge, it was compassionate to kick the car and speed the process up... LOL!
Dr. No kill was by far the coldest. Waits for him, playing cards no less, super chill and relaxed. Watchs as the guy empties his gun, truly chill. Knows he out, gives him 2 or 3 small moments of hope to pull the empty gun closer, letting him think there is a chance, extracts info all the while. Could (should?) have arrested him. Tells em indirectly that he's about to drop the hammer, "u've had your six". The grunt the guy gives is chilling too. Then the super cold, drops a second one in the back when he's down. Another grunt. There is however one flaw though. Semi autos action stays open on the last shot, deadman sitting would have known it was empty too. In fact, in rewatching it u can see the action stay open after the last shot. Of course in that moment any of us might not be thinking clearly. In denial hoping it's loaded? Still, cold pyshcopath at its best.
"That's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six." And he says it so cool.
Too bad it wasn't a S&W. They did not make a 1911 style back then. Also, 1911s of that time held 7.
You are wrong.
The shots look hilarious delayed.
They still do, if not more.
Forgot the one in the chamber.
What I think is interesting from these clips is how each bond feels about killing in general. Connery is very cool, calm, and collected, he thinks nothing of it, he even takes the time to light his cigar to wait for the man to go after the empty gun on the floor so Connery could justifiably make his move.

All very different and very interesting takes on the character.
Really good analysis
Personally i'll always prefer Connery's suave smooth talking bond, he really nailed that role
How about George Lazenby?
Yeah Connery's Bond always made the impression of being a little bored by his work, he's an uncompromising hedonist enjoying the physical pleasures of life (like casual sex, or drinking a Martini while taking a bath, or having Beluga caviar and foie gras from Strasbourg for lunch), but at the same time dutifully doing his job, because it's his job after all, the way he earns his living. He's a cynical hedonist believing in nothing.

For me Moore’s version of Bond is the least interesting and I suspect that’s as much to do with the poor lines he was given, some of the puns were beyond awful, as it is to do with his acting.
Pierce Brosnan killing Sophie Marceau after she says "you'll miss me" is best best bond scene of all time :)
"I never miss :'("
+Loppy2345 The World Is Not Enough is my all time favourite James Bond Movie
+Loppy2345 I like that he dont give a fuck if its a girl or a man if its an enemy you kill... no sentimentist bullshit for a special agent...
JJOOKER He doesn't usually brush the face of a man's corpse.
Casino royale the new one is my favourite bond film. Daniel craig does a good bond make. It just feels more real.
adznz11
Casino Royale is only good because its based on the book of the same name from Ian Fleming... And daniel craig dont even resemble the James Bond of the book i dont care about this bullshit about what people think its real or not... i care about a well portrait character and no way in hell that craig can make a true bond...
If you dont like bond movies dont watch ,dont fuck with a classic movie ! i dont care if The A-team or Mcgyver is not real !!! why the fuck i would care about a fictional character like James bond !
That first Connery's Kill in Dr No, so much class, amazing
Connery putting his gun down and lighting up while holding a man hostage. Oh man, it was a different time back then. "I never miss..." is the coldest in the whole series. By far.
It's especially awesome since Bond's usual thing is a post-mortem one-liner. In this case he feels shitty about it, but is still fulfilling his obligation. No whimsical smile or amusement behind it.
Ha ha thought you were talking about American Werewolf in London then. “You made me miss.....I never miss” darts scene.
I always thought Boris (from Goldeneye) was the coldest kill.
that literally just made my day
That joke was INVINCIBLE! :D
lol! xD
TEARFUL APPLAUSE
I see what you did there.
You missed out:
"Where's Feckesh?"
"Pyramids!"
(Bond causes him to fall to his death and casually straigtens his tie) "Helpful chap."
"You needn't worry. The second is-"
*gunshot*
"Yes, considerably."
So badass.
I love the quick shot of the guy's family before he fell over. Ice cold justice!
damn, never noticed that! what a brutal little detail.. good eye!
I saw this movie years ago and only just got what that line meant.
i was in the cinima thining Craige was not going to be any good as bond. 1.1 seconds after that line know that this was going to be the best bond movie i ever saw. and it still si today
I dont get it....what does it mean?
"I never miss" is my favorite Brosnan line/kill.
best kill
Agreed, but I like this other Brosnon kill.
_I'm just a professional, doing a job._
*_Me too!_* (bang)
"For England James?"
"No. For me."
"Time to face gravity!"
That Snarled "I Never Miss" is Brosnan's finest moment as Bond
Somehow you missed one of the best ones.
"For England, James?"
"No... for me."
Wasn't exactly cold, though.
DaveDexterMusic
Isn't revenge a dish best served cold?
006?
Ikr.
Doesn't really count, even though Bond thought he killed Trevelyan, it was the wreckage of the satellite that really finished him off. He was screaming as it fell on him and crushed him, so he was still alive somehow before then.
"The coldest blood runs through my veins, you know my name..."
Shape Flesh
BADA BADA BADA BADAAAAAAAA
Isn't there anybody besides me who likes ALL the Bonds, and thinks that each star brought something unique to the role? I can't be the only one who isn't hopelessly provincial about this.
Your not alone brother. Your not alone.
I agreed that each bond actor brought something to the role even George Lazenby haha But can't say that every bond film has been great especially Roger Moore films. He has the honor of doing the most films (7) and yet only two of them in my book were actually that great, you can guess yourselves which ones I mean.

the best bonds for me are the ones who go strictly towards the books, Given the fact Timothy Dalton read all of the bonds books in preparation for the roll, I'd say he was the best, then Daniel Craig.
You are not alone in your ability to appreciate each in its own right.
Connery- Classic
Lazenby- Humanity
Moore- Humor
Dalton- Steely edginess
Brosnan- Suave, debonaire sophistication
Craig- Stoicism
What makes Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig such excellent James Bonds was that they were cold assassins and had short tempers which is how he was in the books.
Sebastian Fitzpatrick exactly right.
@Edmund Dantes Yes!
Dalton is also the only one who delivers the line, "Bond, James Bond" naturally; not like an actor visibly trying to sound iconic (which is why it's the best). Sean Connery comes second in his delivery, and then Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, but Dalton is the actor least *pretending to be* James Bond, and *just is James Bond.*
When Bond is this cold, he is exactly how Ian Fleming wrote him
"Yes... considerably" that's gotta be one of the best quotes from Daniel Craig's run
Timothy Dalton is the coldest Bond ever. His face when Killifer and Krest were dying is unbelievable. His expression makes us believe that he is the real person that wants their deaths. Timothy Dalton isn't an actor. He is the real Bond.
I like how he dispatches Elektra. The same ruthless Bond I saw when Sean Connery played him and slapped Tatiana calling her "LIAR" as she implores to him that she loves him. Really cold!
I grew up with the Pierce Brosnan films, and he'll always be my favorite. Also, the N64 Goldeneye game is an all-time great!
Call him off. I won't ask again.
Call him off...
CALL HIM OFF!
Yeaaaah...
You forgot...
006- "For England James?"
007- "No... for me"
*DROPPED*
"What a terrible waste... Of money!"
That one time bond got out one-linered
I know, but that kill of Locque's was probably the most cold-blooded Bond moment from the Roger Moore films. Great moment.
I have to love that opening kill from Casino Royale the most, the brief flash of the family photo on his desk as he goes flying backward, the black and white, everything just makes that scene seem even colder.
Timothy Dalton was the coldest 007. Shame he wasn't in more Bond movies.
elamplough1 he was a better than sean connery
dean latham Saying Dalton was better than Connery is like saying dog shit is better than fillet steak
HRHoochicken have you actually read any of the james bond novels because Timothy Dalton read the books when he got the part of 007 and the guy who originally played Q said out of all the actors who played 007 Timothy was closest the man you read in the novels
Who cares about that? If what you say is true, then Flemming made an imperfect Bond because Connery was the best. Daniel Craig is also good.
elamplough1 agreed
Each actor brought something unique and enjoyable to the role. Connery was, of course, the most manly Bond…sultry and cruel. Lazenby played the closest Bond to Flemming's books. Moore was the most English Bond, dry-witted and gentlemanly. Dalton was the most human Bond, and the Bond I most believed genuinely cared whether innocents lived or died. Brosnon was the most boyish Bond, and really loved the job. And Craig is the most complex Bond, struggling with emotions and roiling rage, dramatic and grave. Even the worst of the Bond films are better than some of the best sequels, licenses, and reboots that pass for entertainment today. :^/
I liked how Bond gained humour with Roger Moore, became more serious with Timothy Dalton, acquired extra charm with Pierce Brosnan and grew more rough with Daniel Craig. George Lazenby doesn't really stand out for me but his film was still good.
elamplough1 a great assessment of the different Bonds. Craig is my favorite personally, much on par with Connery. Cheers.
Dalton though was closest to books, according to many.
An excellent analysis in my opinion.
@elamploug1 - It's no coincidence that Daniel Craig's rough Bond and more intense fight scenes are very reminescent of the Bourne series.
The only regrettable action in those clips was the loss of all that money to the shark.
Adrian Fisher Maybe it was a loan shark? I hear they're greedy.
*****
Maybe it was a taxman in disguise ;)
Consider it a countervailing move to Fed money printing.
"turrible"
Loan shark now.
Dr Kaufman from "Tomorrow Never Dies" needs to be on the list.
i agree it was a personal kill
"I'm just a professional doing his job!"
"Me too..." (squeezes trigger)
@@Atoronz well Carver's death was also personal and cold. Considered the fact that was to revenge Paris. In fact, after her death, the mission become personal and he did pursuit the revenge plot, like in Licence to Kill. The world is not enough, is my favourite movie, and Elektra was my favourite villain, specially because of her complexity. Elektra was not world domination for the sake of it, she did have a motive, either we like it or not. And her could death become the most sad killing that bond felt after Travis (goldeneye)... Specially in the book, Bond felt so bad by shooting her, that he did stayed with Elektra iwhile she drowing in her own blood and while she was singing. He didnt wanted to desert her, like others did to her.
"The World Is Not Enough" is the best Bond film, "Tommorow Never Dies" is second best!
Dr Kaufman maybe the most vicious Bond kill!
I think I'm one of the very few that believed Timothy Dalton's "License to Kill" Bond was the best Bond period. I think the fact that he played it with such a seriousness that gave it a genuine feel.
His both Bond movies went to more realistic and serious tone after Roger Moores many flicks, though i liked his humour. His both and only movies were very solid 007 movies followed by Brosnans amazing bond Goldeneye. Rest of Pierces movies were kinda bad.
Dalton was my favorite Bond until Craig came along; always thought Dalton played the most realistic Bond until Craig; and it was too bad he didn't get more credit.
Yes, Dalton was ahead of his time. He was Daniel Craig before it was cool to be an intense, edgy Bond.
I think my problem with Dalton was that his films tried to have their cake and eat it with the seriousness. Going for a grim tone while also having shark pits and suchlike.
Matilda surely thats down to the writer and director not the cast?
4:35 "Call him off. I won't ask again. Well, maybe just twice."
" A Smith and Wesson, you've had your six" one of the best lines in a bond film
whenever people criticises pierce brosnan's james bond. i remind them that he had to kill an unarmed woman.
AgentMrX7 Why wouldnt he just of shot her in the leg to show he was serious tho & make her call it off?? Instead he kills her & dives out the window, swims to the submarine to stop it himself lmao but yea screw them Brosnan is the best Bond.
Exactly - when I watch some of the 007 franchise movies, only these with Pierce Brosnan have that specific atmosphere and ambiance. He had this very unique style of play and portraying James Bond. Older ones, from 70s or 80 are too much archaic, even the way how they acted in these movies is a relic of the past. From the other hand, modern movies with 007 have nothing related to the PB's parts due to lack of mystery, characters mutually deceiving each other and much more. In my opinion, movies with Pierce Brosnan are trully iconic and they make the Golden Mean in the franchise.
Tomorrow Never Dies is one of my favorites the villain controlling the news to star a war is such a great story and fitting for whatever time you watch it in where as a lot of the older movies well feel old, and while I enjoy the Craig films(Casino Royal is in my top 3 bond movies for sure) they miss the charm that bond should have the movies are too hardcore.
"Brosnan is the best bond"
Things millennials say...I agree though he was the bond I grew up with
Age gives to nearly everything a golden shine but not everything that shines deserve that status.
The old Bond films were made when people have another needs in terms of cinema, when people were fascinated about gadgets, flying machines or even flying cars because they doesn't figure hot it could be. Star Trek is an example, people were surprised that Lt. Uhura had something on her left ear and she can speak with that device ... Now we can figure that it is a simply bluetooth device. And the same things happens with the actors and how they act and even the feeling of being smart or not had changed by the time.
For me, the old Bond is like a plain character, always trying to look smart and trying to sell the idea of 0 feelings, the new Bonds ( Brosnam and Craig) looks smart but at the same time more visceral, more human and at the same time, if you look what they do and thinking that they have feelings, more inhuman.
5:37 even M was like, "damn…"
"God, what a total waste... The money!"
For Your Eyes Only was the best Bond movie. It had everything.
Nah, it was so vanilla, just felt way too generic
Oooh ya Roger & Sean are the most badass and just straight up the classic Bond Suave
The Elektra King kill was the coldest :O
he shot her like she meant nothing to him
***** true because his is a cold blooded killer but it was how he shot her in the world is not enough like she meant nothing to him but thts bond for you
dean latham To be fair, she *did* try to have him killed earlier and nearly succeeded.
blueonblack83 those are some reasons why i love Pierce Brosnan
blueonblack83
Elektra - "James, you cant kill me not in cold blood!"
James - " bitch please i kill ones like you almost every mission"
Oof, that Elektra kill. "I never miss..."
Sean Connery and Pierce Bronson were the BEST Bonds...
IN THE WORLD, MY FRIEND. I KNOW, BUT THIS IS THE JAMES BOND STYLE, BY THE WAY.
Lol I gave up trying to convince anyone who I think the best one(s) are / were. To each their own
That one in For Your Eyes Only was cold as dry ice, my favorite Roger Moore Bond moment :D
One of Roger Moore's best film.
Agreed. A golden Roger moment.
Brosnan did his best performance in TWINE. Killing Elektra, my god. Perfection. An underrated film for sure.
"Yes. Considerably." - BOSS!
lol
The scene with pierce brosnan is one of the reasons I loved him as bond. I never understood all the hate.
+greennin Hate is a strong word. Brosnan just got bad press because his last Bond movie (Die Another Day) was so over the top. I liked him as 007 too, his other films were good.
Brosnan also had a quite a challenge as Bond. James Bond is pretty much tied to Cold War, so Brosnan had his work cut out for him trying to bring Bond to "modern age" without making his character unrecognizable. I doubt that anyone else could've done that transition any better, to be honest.
i always felt he was an amazing bond. if he had been given better films... 3 out of 4 were terrible
The problem with Pierce Brosnan is that the movies looked too generic and were made a la video game instead to be "a movie" .
Goldeneye was an okay-ish movie but got it's glory because the N64 video game if the game wasn't made i'm sure the movie wouldn't be so prized .
Tommorow Never Dies is a bland movie and is a remake from For Your Eyes Only and The Spy who Loved Me
The World is not Enough was boring i feel sorry for french actress Sophie Marceau to be in that movie . As the vilain Renard he was more there as a filler offered nothing to the movie
Die Another Say yeah well it clearly signed the fahrwell to the Bond franchise , the silly CGI and the over the top eastereggs from older bond movies .
The bad choice of Bond Girls , Denise Richards, Halle Berry, Rosamunde Pike . The forced cameo from the whiny little bitch Madonna .
The bad soundtrack/music only Goldeneye from Tina Turner was excellent . The rest was ugly . Anyway since Goldeneye to Spectre only 2 soundtracks were excellent Goldeneye by Tina Turner & Skyfall by Adele .
John Barry is really missing , he made such excellent work in movies similar as to what Jerry Goldsmith do .
he was more masculine alpha
ELEKTRA! One of my first fictional crushes, I'm not ashamed to say. Her story is so sad. You'd think Bond could've shot the phone out of her hand or something...
yes, who read the book, understood that she was more tragic villain than a world domination type. she was evil because of the circumstances of life. A elektra death did marked bond. Before Killing renard he says "she's waiting for you" this line is delivered with sadness and same time honor her because she is in peace. she is one of my favorite villains in Bond Universe
'Tis how they dealt with thots back in the 90s. We've grown soft.
(She betrayed him, tortured him and held M hostage. No matter how much of a lady she was, she needed to die.)
Shorty Shorty calm down neckbeard. You aren't bond
@@tlshortyshorty5810 TRUE
Fuck that bitch.
Love when Roger kicks the car over the edge. Not used to seeing that side of Moore's bond.
I am happy to help! Skyfall is a masterpiece. Cinematically & visually stunning, director Mendes really brings sheer beauty to every shot, like paintings on canvas. He made colors pop and did amazing things with lighting and contrast. Each segment had a unique look to it, a stroke of genius. I loved the script - brilliant backstory of James' origin & superb acting. There was so much heart. Also the nods to past Bond incarnations which was such a treat on the eve of the 50th Anniversary.
Having read the books, I have to say that I actually enjoy Timothy Dalton's Bond quite a bit.
I wish he did A View to a Kill rather than Moore. It was an awesome film but Moore was just too old at that point and it really shows in parts. Dalton would have been perfect. I have to say The Living Daylights is one of my favourite Bond films.
TalesOfWar I think Dalton almost did star in a View to Kill but didn't quite materialise. Brosnon nearly ended up replacing Moore in For Your Eyes Only haha
James Bond
Yeah he had committments to Remington Steel though even up to View to a Kill.
Man, Brosnan looks so scary and mean when he is serious! The way he said, "I won't ask again"
One of my favourite actors and my favourite Bond, along with Connery!
1:15 "It's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six". That's one COLD motherfucker. The scene is still AWESOME 50 years later... Connery IS "Bond. JAMES Bond". The rest of 'em can't even say that right!
“Call him off”
“I won’t ask again”
I mean he was telling her not asking her lol
Bond: _"Where's Fekesh?"_
Henchman: _"Pyramids."_
Throws him off roof and looks down at corpse......
Bond: _"What a helpful chap."_
Harsh.
All were good lines with great wit - my personal favorite of the list was the one where Bond "offed" professor dent.... "You've had your six...."
that first clip from Dr No,was a 1911 which holds 7 rounds, not the Smith & Wesson bond says it is, kinda funny they would have made that sort of mistake.
Clearly it was written to be a revolver and the director didn't give a shit about firearms detail. Like bonds gun changes in the scene from a PPK to a silenced FN because the movie armourer couldn't get a silencer that would fit a PPK. A lot of people just don't care and certainly don't notice.
Bond's gun is also moody in that film. It's explicitly meant to be a PPK but in several scenes it's clearly a full size PP & at least once he has a Sauer 38h or an FN 1910 as Sly previously said. it's hard to make out which tho.
3:34. Jeez, Bond, you should have given ME the money.
1:14 No, it's specifically an M1911, which has a magazine capacity of 7. And I can't believe the assassin tried to pick the gun up being that the slide locked back, indicating the magazine is empty. Older movies always did have problems with continuity.
I imagine the assassin was desperate because he didn't have a backup weapon and he already showed he wanted to kill Bond, and perhaps the gun closed when it was dropped. Either way he wasn't paying attention to details, and knew he had to do something to save his own life. The gun was convenient, and there wasn't a bludgeon nearby that he could get at before Bond noticed and shot with the gun in his lap.
there are 6 shots mag for 1911
Really terminator, care to link them? I have never, not once in my life seen them.
Smith & Wesson made three models of 1911-style semiautos before Dr. No was made: The Model 39 (8-round magazine,) the Model 41 (10-round magazine,) and the Model 52 (5-round magazine). It would only make sense that this would be a Smith & Wesson Model 52--which was, in 1962, a brand-new gun, still quite rare, and made for precision target shooting. It would be possible to have 6-shot capacity in the 52, providing one loaded the chamber first, and then "topped off" with a full 5-round magazine. Unusual for a 1911-style semiauto, the Model 52 uses midrange .38spl wadcutter ammo, which is often subsonic, which would be nice for an assassin using with a silencer. So that makes sense too. But you are 100% correct on the slide locking back on an empty chamber, so it's impossible the gunman would think he could shoot Bond.
PristineTX, none of the S&W models you've mentioned are 1911 styles. The frames and/or the slides are wrong for 1911 style, S&W didn't make a 1911 till around 2003 from research i have done.
When 007 killed Stromberg in “The Spy Who Loved Me” at the dinner table was pretty cold too
Excellent video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I saw the first clip when I was like 6 and didn't even knew english at the time, and finally I got to know what they where saying.
¡Muchas Gracias!.
You earned it. You keep it.
Best two lines of the video.
I grew up with Pierce Bronsan and Roger Moore's interpretation of 007, but Sean Connery and Daniel Craig were my kind of Bond to be honest. Also even though I haven't seen a lot of Timothy Dalton's Bond movies, I really liked the cold and edginess that he brought to his 007 (which is something that hasn't been seen until Craig came along)...
So overall if I had to choose a James Bond actor that came close to the ones in the books. I'd say Dalton and Craig fit that category, but that's just my opinion.
I agree Dalton and Craig are more like the bond from the books
There's only two Timothy Dalton movies...
+Connor van vuuren they were strong movies its just that people didn't like the darker tone of those movies at the time.
devildavin true
+Strider Hiryu "Also even though I haven't seen a lot of Timothy Dalton's Bond movies, I really liked the cold and edginess that he brought to his 007" Judging from this is, I think it is safe to assume that you have seen at least one of Timothy Dalton's 007 movies. If that is the case, you've seen half of them which, in my book, IS a lot.
Honestly Craig has taken over as my favourite Bond, I was sceptical at first but he pulls it off so damn well.
Pierce Brosnan is the best James Bond. Change my mind
Ironically my fav bond cold kill comes from Roger Moore. That car kick is some cold shit
Woman: "James, you can't kill me! Not in cold blood."
Me: *looks at title* "James Bond 007: Coldest Kills"
Me: Oh, I think he can.
The first scene in Casino Royale was the coldest, although Pierce Brosnan also had some cold kills in Goldeneye and Tommorow Never Dies.
No "for England James"?
Normally, I'd agree with that, as it was very cold of him. But he didn't actually kill Alec in that scene: rather he let him fall from the satellite array and left him to his fate when it collapsed.
*****
he didnt die from the fall because no one yelled "Boromiiiiiiiiir!!!"
***** thats why Brosnan is my favorite.
Great video! Really included some of bond`s best and most ruthless kills, I also enjoyed how you got all the major bonds and their respected scenes.. Also the scene where Moore bond is killing Stromberg was pretty cold, he basically shot him 4 times before he died :)
+Ser Bronn of the blackwater He shot him four times because of the anemic effects of .32ACP on a fat man.
Killifer deserved it. He betrayed Leiter so it wouldn't have taken him long to betray Sanchez and that wouldn't have gone well. Sanchez got it into his head that Heller and Krest were plotting against him and one was impaled on a forklift while the other was locked in a high pressure chamber until he quite literally went out of his head. So essentially, feeding Killifer to a shark was doing him a favour.
Ally Todd : Not Krest, he was set up by 007 - thus explaining his genuine innocence when he was trying to explaining himself to Sanchez - and displaying Bond's determination to destroy Sanchez' criminal empire!.
Dalton is easily the coldest Bond.
Damn, I too want a supressor like that...
Too bad. Even with subsonic rounds, there is a loss of only 60-80 decibels. What it DOES do is diffuse the sound so you can't pinpoint where it comes from.
1:38 Roger Moore's defining moment as James Bond (And only my second Bond movie ever, when I was a kid.). We needed more of that from him. He could do it when he tried. Just as good as Connery.
Connery was so badass!
R.I.P. Sir Roger Moore aka the BEST James Bond!!
2:33-3:53 Screw the money, I have rules!
+JCBro2014 What you didn't see was Bond quickly turning to Sharkey saying "quick! get a fucking fishing net" after the scene cut away.
Or at the very least, Sharkey was the one who fished all that money out! Brother had his priorities straight, LOL!!!
;-D
The quiet guy in the merc was quite satisfying.... plus I love Roger
Conspicuously missing from this compilation was the greatest and most stylish Bond kill of all. The defeat of Odd Job in the vault of Ft. Knox. Connery diving for the loose electrical wire as Odd Job reached to free his deadly hat from the bars. Connery grabs the wire and touches it to the bars electrocuting Odd Job. When the Calvary arrives Bond is asked "where is Odd Job". To which he replies, "He blew a fuse!!!". Daniel Craig's kill in the opening of Casino Royal is a very good one though. What I like about Craig, is that he does not try to imitate Connery. He is his own Bond.
That wasnt a cold kill. Bond was getting his ass whooped.
ArseneWenger As the popular saying goes - yo whatevah :-)
Charles Lee Great points. But "when the Calvary arrives" ... you meant (US) Cavalry, band of horsemen to the rescue. "Calvary" is where Christ died.
Take a giant step for mankind..
Gosh and people say Roger Moore was all a jokester Bond this kill was fucking dark and brutal and cold
No Stromberg? No Gruber? What about dropping the helpless "Blofeld" down a smokestack?
I always questioned that Doctor No scene because we always keep one in the chamber. A WM
daniel craig's coldest kill is stabbing mr. dimitrios at the museum!!
Agreed!
No kidding, especially considering Bond had already cleaned the guy out at poker and seduced his wife, all in the same day. Remind me not to piss off Bond.
How about the ending of Quantum of solace or does that count ?
If it’s self-defense, it’s not a cold kill. The whole point is that he kills these people even though they are no longer a threat to him.
4:03 James you can't kill me, not in cold blood
5:10 challenge accepted
I liked Moore's very much in FYEO. He's thought of as a bland Bond, but he can be quite tough at times. Here, by kicking the car (he didn't feel confortable doing it though). In Octopussy he shoots a guard right between the eyes.
Disagree. Bond definitely wanted Locke dead because Bond liked the little Italian agent that Locke killed for the sake of it. Imo he was itching to boot that car over the edge.
@@runlarryrun77 He's talking Moore himself who was reluctant to film the scene as he felt it was too out of character for his version of Bond.
sean connery in dr no , killing dent , is the best bond moment for me ,a cold kill and delivered with a great line , fantastic.
Pierce Brosnan tells Sophie Marceau to call Robert Caryle off is the best Bond scene
Dalton is still my favorite. Glad some other Bond fans agree!
"That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your 6"
Cool line, but that's an M1911 pistol with a 7 round mag
Honestly 007 dropping 006 from the satellite should be #1
when pirece was bond he did bring out a cold side to him like when he threw off sean bean of that satellite in goldeneye and when he killed dr kuffmann in toworrow never dies when he say i'm just a professional doing a job and bond replies me too and it a personal kill to 007 and yet in the world is not enough he killed electra like she mean nothing to him
we´re not talking about worst movies, we´re talking about coldest kills
No disrespect to the old school bonds but Pierce Bronson was the real jame bond goldeneye and the world is not enough was great.
1:23 I always love that extra shot he gives him in the back, just for good measure.
Well, he does have a licence to kill...
Classic Bond intro that will never get old, if you'd ask me.
You forgot the Roger Moore scene with the tie and the butler. The butler gives him the info he needs and Bond just lets him die anyway, cause fuck saving people.
"You earned it, you keep it... old buddy!"
The moments where Bond doesn't give a single fuck
I watched it a week ago. Absolutely amazing :)
Really now! Where is Tomorrow Never Dies "im just a professional"scene Peirce Bronson's emotionless face when he kills the hitman is borderline sociopathic.
+Jack Carver VAIT! I'm chust a professional doink a chob!
Me too
Sean Connery owns that first guy
Most were not cold kills he was just doing his job.
Him kicking the car was pretty cold.
Thomas Templeton The bad guy was going to die anyway as the car was slipping over the edge, it was compassionate to kick the car and speed the process up... LOL!
BuzzLOLOL
"What is he doing?!"
M: His job.
Dr. No kill was by far the coldest. Waits for him, playing cards no less, super chill and relaxed. Watchs as the guy empties his gun, truly chill. Knows he out, gives him 2 or 3 small moments of hope to pull the empty gun closer, letting him think there is a chance, extracts info all the while. Could (should?) have arrested him. Tells em indirectly that he's about to drop the hammer, "u've had your six". The grunt the guy gives is chilling too. Then the super cold, drops a second one in the back when he's down. Another grunt. There is however one flaw though. Semi autos action stays open on the last shot, deadman sitting would have known it was empty too. In fact, in rewatching it u can see the action stay open after the last shot. Of course in that moment any of us might not be thinking clearly. In denial hoping it's loaded? Still, cold pyshcopath at its best.
