Georgy Zhukov Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well Dalton is not Craig. Anyone but Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 True. I mean, the blonde KGB henchman that Bond kicks out of the plane is basically Daniel Craig. Dalton's on Vega's side then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Sean Connery leaped from the pages of Ian Fleming's novels and then Fleming didn't matter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Fleming even had to change his Bond's ancestry to Scottish so it would match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was thinking it's been nice having some new people post in here instead of me, you and P5 all the time. You know, my top ten would probably look exactly the same, just maybe not that order. The only one I'd lose is Melina. Not sure who I'd replace her with though. I guess I'd pick Ursula just for the iconic value even though she doesn't do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Severine is climbing up there, I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's amazing how much of an impact Severine made in her short amount of screen time. Says a lot about both the writing of her character and her performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think her being a perfect 10 has more to with it Anyway, have decided to watch them all again in order. Dr. No last night. Forgot how young Connery was in it, only 32, Ursula Andress was only 26. Still a great movie, love the way the characters are introduced, especially Bond at the casino. Opening graphics are funny now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Severine is sex on legs. Especially in the casino scene (I love the way she says 'Bond').My list of Bond Girls goes something like this (best first)...Tracy di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg)Tatiana Romanova (Daniella Bianchi)Electra King (Sophie Marceau)Severine (Bérénice Marlohe)Honey Rider (Ursula Andress)Solitaire (Jane Seymour)Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi)Vesper (Eva Green)Kissy Suzuku (Mie Hama)Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh)Worse...Christmas JonesJinxsStacey SuttonTiffany Case(In general, Americans make poor Bond girls for some reason).Oh, I forgot Barbara Bach. Throw her on my 'best list', somewhere middle order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah the American Bond girls are terrible. Always whiny and thick. Men want an exotic beauty with an accent. Like Severine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 They never work, American Bond girls. It is odd. I think Jinx was a decent attempt (a re-tread of the Michelle Yeoh style, Bond girls which 'kick arse', essentially) but it was marred by the fact that Halle Berry cannot act in the slightest.Her off Licence to Kill wasn't bad. I think she is the best American Bond girl so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 You guys do know Barbara Bach is American, right?But typically American women do make terrible Bond girls. Not because they are whiny, but because they don't get it.Take Teri Hatcher for example. She said she was pregnant so her boobs were big when she did the role. Being a Bond girl isn't about having a chest. It is the attitude that goes with it. Cary Lowell and Barbara Bach had the right attitude. They knew how to be sexy. Actually Cary and Talisa Soto were two halves of a Bond girl. Cary had the spunk and Talisa had the exotic appeal. She is the only major Bond girl that survived an entire film with another major Bond girl.I guess raping and murdering Felix's wife was enough.

James Bond Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Off topic, but I just realized yesterday was Dalton's birthday. He turned 67 or 69 (his birth year has never been confirmed - it's either 1944 or 1946). My guess is 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bach is the best American - by far - followed by Cary who was solid. They maintain America's reuputation! The rest are either of the, American bratty sttyle (Stacy Sutton) or just do not work due to acting (Denise Richards and Jinx).Teri Hatcher may have been a good Bond girl (she has an Europeanesque sex appeal) if she wasn't a victim of TND's script problems which saw her character left on the cutting room floor. She is Elliiot Carver's wife (most improbable) who has had an affair with Bond in the past (what a coinincidence!); Bond shags her then Carver's henchmen kill her. Very misused. Apparently there were disagreements on the set when Hatcher found out how they had truncated her character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
