Powerage5 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Not preordering Skyfall, I'll just pick it up on my way home Tuesday. Is there a US steelbook, or no? I don't keep up on all the different releases or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Meh. So I've been thinking about it. If all six Bonds got into a melee I think George Lazenby would come out on top. Connery and Craig would go on to the end, I think Craig can kick Connery's ass, but that's just me, but Lazenby would finish him off. Brosnan would be the first to go. Followed by Moore but he would at least throw in some good punches with Connery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 And Dalton? So far, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Indeed. Dalton Vs. Connery. Battle of the century. Edited February 6, 2013 by Georgy Zhukov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Lazenby would win. He'd be the most resistant to damage. I think Craig would beat Connery but that'd be close. Dalton would be around the same as Connery I'd bet. Brosnan and Moore don't stand a chance,Not preordering Skyfall, I'll just pick it up on my way home Tuesday. Is there a US steelbook, or no? I don't keep up on all the different releases or anything There's no US steelbook unfortunately. The easiest one to get would be the UK one which is available through Amazon and pretty cheap, except that it's Region B but if you have a region-free player then it doesn't matter. The Taiwan and Korean versions are Region A but it's like $60-$70 to import it even though it's literally an identical steelbook, just with a different overlap card or whatever you want to call it with the given language on it.

Georgy Zhukov Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Moore could take Brosnan dude was in great shape well into his 50's and he seems to have martial arts down but Dalton and Connery could take him down. Casino Royale Craig seemed indestructible except when he gets hit in the balls. But he has the best chance with Lazenby but I still think Lazenby would win. I actually think Dalton would beat Connery since Dalton is an unstoppable force (see Licence to Kill) and Connery tends to get overpowered and relies on the henchmen's incompetence to defeat them. Dalton just seems more determined. He could even take Craig. Between those three it is really close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Moore was in great shape up until Octopussy, so you're right on that. They don't stand a chance against the others though.Connery vs. Craig vs. Dalton would definitely be a close fight. Craig probably wins in the strength department, but Dalton would be the least likely to let his guard down. Connery wouldn't necessary be the best fighter but he'd be the most cunning and seize an open opportunity to take one of them down.Lazenby has the strength, the build, and the power to take them all out. He'd be the hybrid of Connery, Craig, and Dalton in a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Lazenby would win. He is a proper action man. Bruce Lee was even wanting to hire him for Game of Death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobodys_Fault Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Shit, missed that.I watched Skyfall last night so I'm somewhat late to the party. I think I might prefer Casino Royale overall but its fair to say Bardem put in the best performance out of anyone to ever feature in a Bond film.

Crazyman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'll have to think about mine before I post it, but I'm surprised to see The Man With The Golden Gun so high and TWINE so low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I love Moonraker. Sure it's ridiculous; it's Bond's "jumping the shark" moment. But that's why I love it, because its so over the top. "Filmed on location in OUTER SPACE"!
