The James Bond Thread: RIP Robbie Coltrane


James Bond

Recommended Posts

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.

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 :lol:

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.

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.

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.

No region free player, so I guess I'm sticking with the standard case :(

currently watching moonraker.

the most ridiculous aspect of this movie is bond wearing a suit at carnivale.

thats a statement considering its MOONRAKER. this movie raised the bar on 70's bond ridiculousness in a major way.

i love the bond gadgets, consistently borderline ridiculous. like a belt buckle that makes toast, a see through car, a pen that is also an aids test.

A great doc. on the bond series is "everything or nothing", torrent it.

Jackie is back! :awesomeface:

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"!
