- No Time to Die finds James Bond, Her Majesty's most infamous double-oh, retired in Jamaica. But we're going all the way back to the first time Sean Connery as 007 found his way to the Caribbean Island in 1962's Doctor No. But while it was the first Bond adventure in the film franchise, it was the sixth book author Ian Fleming published. So how did the filmmakers set about adapting the middle of Bond's novel career for the beginning of his film escapade? Dust off your license to kill because it's time to ask, "Difference... What's the Difference?"
Written by Clint Gage. Edited and animated by Casey Redmon.

They chose this book because the plot was the most simple out of all the books they had the rights to in the James Bond Ian Fleming Literary Series.
Sorry, I missed the name of the male lead on this series. I am very surprised you didn't mention it.
Whait! So in the book, Dr. No's evil-plan-monologue was low-key a sales pitch to the Brittish Secret Service?
The Bond in the books is infinitely more interesting than the movies. You are also missing how both Bond and the narrative don't shame Honey for wanting to be a sex worker. Bond merely warns her of some expenses the job has like bribes for cops. Bond is genuinely fond of her and is happy when she later has success and marries a doctor. This is a thing of his character, he doesn't understand why slutshaming is a thing and doesn't blink at women's sexual history.
Also he kills the giant squid with a DINNER knife.
Yes, Bond in the novels grows from his adventures, and he has a lot of interesting things going on in his head a lot of the time. Most of the books have a theme relating the adventure to Bond’s personal growth, whereas, as this video points out, the movies just have Bond as a suave, confident action hero with no issues and barely any growth whatsoever. That’s the great thing about the Craig films, they actually explore his psychology in the same way that Fleming did.
How can he not understand there is slutshaming? Is he a Kindergarten kid in the novel? Because at that slutshaming was normal?
That is sort of the issue I had with the movies for years I thought Bond was silly with all his puns one liners and over the top gadgets. It wasn't until they released the books in those cool pulp covers just before Craig's first outing so I picked the first one up for my dad than wound up reading it and was amazed. Bond felt more like a person and when I read more I got Bond and was so happy they made a closer version of him with Daniel Craig.
@@stephennootens916 up until they fucked it up with no time to die and now the legacy of bond has been tarnished forever
@@mohammedashian8094 How so?
Great comparison, I hope you do this for other Bond films/books, like Moonraker and Diamonds Are Forever
Yesterday I saw the new James Bond! I thought it was unrealistic, a Brit filling up his car!
Savage!
XD. Really? You don't see those kinds of scenes, you just assumed he filled it up at the pump already.
I love the pulpy Bond novels by Fleming, but the movie franchise would never have become what it is if they had followed the books more closely. Still, I love how they adapted From Russia with Love, OHMSS and Casino Royale.
Please do all the Bond books and films. I mean some deviate significantly but it would still be interesting.
Strangways and Quarrel both get character development in Bond's previous island adventure _Live and Let Die_ so we care a little more about them when they die in _Doctor No._
Bond, James Bond NEVER gets old.
Perhaps it's my memory failing, but 21 years ago, while taking 11 hour drives to visit my girlfriend, I would take out a few books on tape (and they were on tape in those days) from the local public library, and Dr No was one of the books I listened to, though I don't remember ever finishing it. You didn't mention it, but one of the scenes I remember (or mis-remember) was as assassination attempt on him involving giant centipedes in his hotel room bed. That showed a terrified and most un-movie-like Bond.
Ah yes one of my favourite parts in the book! Long drives with an audiobook are the greatest
Interesting how they started from book six but didn’t even pick a more recent novel to adapt, instead opting for one that was already four years old. That would never fly today.
They originally wanted to adapt Thunderball as the first movie, which was the most recent book when they went into production, but the whole rights quagmire around that book scared them off.
It did happen recently though. Jack Reacher, the movie, was based on the ninth book in the series (One Shot) which at the time of the movie’s release was 7 years old.
Sean Connery the GOAT!
Best Bond Book and Movie is From Russia with Love
All great movies, and now that I've seen them, I will pick up the books and thanks for the advice
Please do all the movies/books!!!!
What gets me in this film is when 007 gets to Jamaica , his cover was blown as soon as he got there . Did someone in MI6 tell Dr No or a rat in MI6 that Bond was coming since the girl taking pictures then the hotel and driver and other incidents.
I really want to see a more faithful adaptation of this story. I especially want to see Bond vs. the kraken and Honey being mildly annoyed by the march of the crabs. ("One of them got tangled in my hair.")
There are stills of a deleted scene where crabs were on Honey Rider. It didn't look good, so they cut it.
came here to say this
@@daffyphack great minds think alike
so which season do I start in for the James Bond anime?
You should start with casino Royale 2006 , one of the best action debuts ever
Great video generally. You did miss a few things, though, including a tropical centipede crawling on bond in his bed, Dr No’s heart being on the right side of his body, which is why he survived being tortured and shot, the long vertical section of the obstacle course with no handholds, honey surviving because she doesn’t mind animals touching her, etc.
Still don’t get why the woman’s name is funny.
Trench (or more specifically "stench trench") is a slang term for vagina.
Honey Rider?
@@Primogen16 I'm sure it's a coincidence honestly, but I know that's hard to believe for the Bond series. But in the original script her last name was Trenchard, I've never heard that term, it didn't even come up in Urban Dictionary when I looked it up, and I doubt that term existed back then.
Its a tie between Diamonds are for ever and You only live twice
The Dragon and the George(1976) and The Flight of Dragons(1979), the two books adapted into The Flight of Dragons(1982), What's the Difference?
Can I recommend the Searchers, the Shootist, Cape Fear?
Dr No is iconic
Do you feel like you'll be in some kind of trouble if you don't make fun of the real-world last name Trench? I have a guess what the innuendo is but search results aren't helping me be sure.
Meanwhile, you don't call out how the Quarrel death is something of a racial trope and say nothing about the Dr. No casting which qualifies as whitewashed, afaik.
There are many cases of defective research in the making of this otherwise entertaining video. Such laziness ought to be noted for the sake of improving oneself.... Keep on trucking!
Funny thing is spies irl are supposed to be so boring that they might as well be action heros with few people knowing their own name. Bond is of the "spy" trend that are basically special forces soldiers that work solo with a remote support team.
I prefer the book bond, he is more realistic.
Dr No.in the book was also bald
You left out the book's explanation for why Honey wasn't eaten by the crabs, which was basically, uh, crabs don't eat people. Duh.
my favorite bond movie is casino royale
Mettiamola cosi' : gli astronauti come mangiano quando sono nello spazio?😊
Momento di leggerezza🦁( leone) , broccoli (produttore cinematografico) = il doppio 0 = 007😂😂😂😂😂😂 quale ti rapprenta di piu'.
Mi auguro che tu abbia perlomeno o una BMV o una ASTON MARTIN.
Il tuo medico per caso si chiama doctor NO
Is it true he always wore a toupee?
The objectification of women is the grossest thing ever. But everything else is awesome.
If you look closely you can tell that book and movie 007 are men. If you miss it, try to play at 0.25x to see clearly he is a man.
There beeing two narrators threw me off. I hope it wont be reoccuring.
Its not an improvment, only distracting. Also if they insist on two, then mix the audio better. I dont want my beloved cinefix ruined. The original narrators calm, soothing and perfectly cadanced voice is like atleast 50% of the reason why i click these videos ;)
Hasn’t this series always had 2 narrators
@@squidwad6563 yep
They've both narrated since the beginning??? But yes I like Clint's voice better, if that's who you're referring to.
Ugh, spare your time
What?
Do the green mile next

C'mon...

Please make more videos comparing Sean Connery/James Bond films to Ian Fleming's books.
They chose this one first because it was a simple story, and it wouldn’t require as high a budget due to the film mostly taking place in one location.
Glad partnering with ign hasn’t changed the channel much. I was worried as someone who really doesn’t like ign’s coverage and reviews. Been here for 5 years, keep up the good work!
I agree.
@DeSPoTNemanjaS I think ign is just cookie cutter and their reviewers and podcasts don’t appeal to me and haven’t since 2014. Beyond used to rule but now it’s so vanilla and boring. They seem like a hive mind more than a group of different individuals with different opinions. And cinefix I’ve fucked with since it’s inception pretty much. Really wonderful in depth (albeit brief) looks at film. Such a large step above ign’s content. So at first I was worried they would water it down but it seems untouched except for the name.
@DeSPoTNemanjaS like I said beyond! used to rule and now it’s very vanilla
i didn't know they partnered but its great to see its done little to change Cinefix's content which I've always appreciated. Its the kind of brief look at such a diverse and knowledgeable account of many movies. It helps provoke interest of movie fans while also introducing them to films they might not know. I know i've definitely gotten good recommendations from watching videos from this channel
Is Trench an innuendo or did y’all just think it was a gross name? 😂
yeah, in a series known for numerous "on the nose not even trying to be subtle" innuendo names, it was odd they fixated on this incredibly tame example in this video.
Her name is synonymous with dirty hole not exactly subtle
I dare say Bond laid his pipe in the appropriate location...
@@blingsing5383 I guessss
@@TomfromExeter 😂
You could say that book Dr. No got a shit death
*ba-dum-TISS*
@@woozertoo rim job!
As you mentioned he met Quarrel before in LALD so he was like an old friend in the book
Interestingly, the very-unwoke "Fetch my shoes" line isn't in the book. On paper, Bond treats Quarrel absolutely as an equal. (Surprising for 1958.)
Imagine what life was like as a young handsome Sean Connery
He hates the press attention he received by YOLY.
It was in part like being an Edinburgh milkman.
I never knew how much the two James Bond characters differ from the movie and novels.
Excellent video. Dr. No is definitely one of the James Bond movies that is more or less faithful to the book. The first several movies follow the books fairly well but by the Roger Moore era they were pretty much based on them in name only. It'd be hilarious if you did a video comparing some of those movies to their respective books. Like the movie The Spy Who Loved Me is completely different than the book. The book is about a Canadian woman Vivian Michele who recounts to the reader how she lost her virginity in England and is now at a motor lodge in Vermont and is being held prisoner by two mobsters there to burn down the hotel for the insurance money and James Bond who's tracking them from Toronto even doesn't show up until the last third of the book. The plot of the movie couldn't be more different haha.
fun fact: the book was also the first use of the Walther PPk because a fan named Boothroyd wrote Fleming and told him Bond's Beretta 418 was a wimpy lady's gun and to get him a better gun like the Walther hence why there's a Major Boothroyd in both the book and movie
Actually I heard boothroyd suggested that bond carry a snub nose revolver like a colt cobra or something like that. Fleming compromised and instead armed bond with his famous 32 caliber Walther ppk
That squid fight sounds INFINITELY cooler than the movie version
How is "Trench" a worse name than "Honey Ryder"?
Trench is a derogatory slang term for vagina.
The Bonds Name, James Namebond.
having a stronk, call the bondulance
I absolutely loved this! Totally interested in more Bond book and movie comparison videos!!!😁😁
More James bond what's the differences please
Book Dr No had THE CLAMPS for hands
You want I should give him the clamps? 😁
He's basically the film Tee Hee now that I think about it...
Cinefix please do a from russia with love what's the difference episode next
The book is a pretty good story.
@@DoctorQuackenbush yeah they are both as good as each other. i suppose I may pick the Film by an inch, just because the backstory of red Grant goes on a bit too long.
@@CornishCreamtea07 Fair enough.
@@DoctorQuackenbush even though i havent read the book yet, but have seen from russia with love which is my 007 movie ever! That said i would love to read the book cause i heard there's stuff in it thats different from the movie
John F. Kennedy even loved it!
Book Bond really is a fascinating character
Absolutely.
It was briefly mentioned in passing but it deserves a little more empahsis: In the book Doctor No was working for the Russians and SMERSH. In the movie he's working for SPECTRE.
From Russia With Love is the best movie and book
Can you do what's the difference on the Bourne Identity
as silly as it is, I am do love me some "Moonraker:, but my favorite Movie is "Live and let die." Also the movie of "On her Majesty Secret Service" is a great movie.
Giant Squid… so Specter?
Love your videos as always
That last flick definitely didn’t do the character any justice.
Fun fact:. Although called a PPK in Dr. No, the pistol Bond is issued is not a PPK, but a Walther PP.
Going to keep asking…can we get a “What’s the Difference” episode on Mario Puzo’s The Godfather ?
Connery was a little rough around the edges in Dr. No. He was a big success though. He nailed down the role as the suave 007 in From Russia with Love.
The books are all (the six or seven I read a lifetime ago) terrible, cringeworthy and pretty much as bad as they come off in this video. The movies are excellent escapism though, with Goldfinger being the best, empirically, by law, science and so sayeth the Bible too.
They chose this book because Casino Royale was already taken.
In the book, it's a poisonous centipede, not a tarantula that James Bond kills in the hotel room.
Oh pincer hands that'd have been sweet.
Man … the source material is always EXTRA lol 😳 , love the creativity though 😄
Nice (psycho)analysis. As well as Sylvia Trench, the film version also adds Miss Taro, thereby boosting the amount of sex in the story by a tidy 400%. I think this tells us something about the direction the producers wanted to go in too.
I don't understand the slang of Trench or Taro. Honey Rider, on the other hand, i understand. Please fill me in!
@@williamcordier1201 I wasn't referring to inuendo-heavy names (although there's a thread below about Ms Trench if you're interested). I was just flagging that Bond gets 'friendly' with Sylvia and twice with Ms Taro, plus Honey, which makes 4 shags in the film to the 1 in the book. So ok, maybe that's 300% but you get my point...
You can't NEVER have too many James Bond introductions in a movie, especially when it's coming from Sean Connery. 🥰🍸🏎🔫
There is and always will be only one James Bond! Sir Sean Connery! I have never watched and never will watch any of those other posers who tried playing the part!
Me and my brother joked that they'd cut back to Quarrel every so often to see if he was still on fire, or smoldering flesh. By the end of the movie, we decide that he was still burning.
Do a scanner darkly what the difference
Here’s a playlist I made on James Bond ruclips.net/p/PLbpzR_gfgO_JuPSQ6wCpaPn5LRD__2X-C
Never read the books, but i've seen all the movies, and my favorite is The Spy Who Loved Me.
Love this book. The film is also pretty fun.
Honestly the book is better in this film but afterwards the films tends to surpass the books.
@@chrisdaily2077 Not quite. "Moonraker", "Casino Royale" and The Blofeld Trilogy are better in novel form. So I do not think the films surpass the books. Hell, my favorite Bond flick is License To Kill due to how damn well Dalton plays Fleming Bond in a story outside the novels. Not to take from the flicks though...
@@saidi7975 Moonraker may be an exception but I like the better closure given in the movie Casino Royale.
@@saidi7975 well casino royale was a pretty close adaptation, the difference being a generational difference. But Moonraker one being the far less, the eon production abandoned the interesting novel story for a cheap star wars ripoff.
@@saidi7975 license to kill partially had elements from few bond novels and stories tho.
More Bond What’s the Difference’s, please.
as a guy who has watched this movie many times this was fascinating maybe I should read the books and watch the movies in the books order
@11:57 and I'll just leave this one right here.....
Bond's not a good soldier, he's a good sailor.
Dr. No in the book died on March 17th, 1956.
Yea that scene is played out now
DR film ending is better than the book especially Dr No death.
What’s the difference: Atlas Shrugged
What is the music used in the background?
Whats the difference shrek movie vs book
what's wrong with the name trench
honestly
Forgot to mention that Honey Rider isn't her name in the book.
Here's a little trivia: Dr No was the first movie ever filmed in Jamaica
Shaken not stirrurd
Key is pronounced Cay
More book vs Movies please.
Ah man one day you have to do The Spy who loved me the book is nuts
It's not nuts, it's just bad and so off the beaten path for a Bond book.
@@spencerkindra8822 Aw its not bad.. def different though
@@tec5x5 I respectfully disagree. It's literally just Vivian talking about how her love life is going and how she lost her virginity for the first third of the book, then the two mobsters show up at the the motor lodge she's at in the second third, and Bond doesn't even show up until the last third. It was also such an insane detour away from the SPECTRE/Blofeld storyline. It was my least favorite to read. I was so glad to finish it and start reading One Her Majesty's Secret Service. Ian Fleming himself said the book was terrible so I rest my case haha.
No gadgets no car just Bond and his wits and charm bottle setting (the lodge) trying to save a woman
@@tec5x5 There's almost no gadgets in the books and the cars are used sparingly for action. Plus in pretty much every Bond book, he uses his wits to best the villains.
Weary and self-doubting Bond sounds more in line with Craig's portrayal. Love these What's the Difference vids. Keep em coming!
Two more things that weren't mentioned in the video are that in the book there are two more covert attempts to assassinate Bond. Dr. No sends Bond a basket of fruit which is laced with poison and a giant poison centipede is placed in his bed instead of a spider.
