You are the BEST Sean Connery, James Bond, reactor. I have never watched any of your reactions by other Bond actors. There is ONLY ONE BOND. Sean Connery. Thank you, Jen!
Sir Sean Connery really is a symbol of my country. Okay, he wasn't exactly the nicest person around women, but he still took his job seriously and delivered some of the finest work ever. He makes me so proud to be Scottish that I watch a film of his every Halloween to celebrate him. Honestly, one of the greatest actors that Scotland has ever produced. 25th of August 1930 - 31st of October 2020
@@Joe67343 Like all the other people (not just actors) who live abroad but still get to vote in the UK elections. In addition we have all the rich people and companies in the UK who use tax aviodance to avoid paying their fair share of tax. Not to mentaion people in the UK who still use tav avoidance (e.g. Richi Sunak's wife!) Sean Connery set up the Scottish International Education Trust and Friends of Scotland. Every year, he hosted a benefit for the organization, with funds raised going to charities such as Wounded Warrior Project, Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Erskine Hospital. That's more than your average "tax avoider" has done.
I read down a bit and didn't see it mentioned but in "You Only Live Twice" the couch-wielding henchman that Connery is having a fight with is none other than High Chief Peter Maivia (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's grandfather). Pretty cool.
When No Time To Die came out, "fans" were saying a woman can't be a 00 agent. Yet in Thunderball, which came out in the 60s, you can see the council of 00 agents and a woman is sitting with them.
I don't think they were saying a woman couldn't be a 00, but they were saying that a woman couldn't be James Bond... this was largely in response to click-bait headlines where they were claiming that Bond was going "woke" and would be played by a woman... which is a distortion of what actually occurred.
Of course she can, just check how much previous "woman agent" movies got in box office to understand it's a risky move. On the other hand why try to use woman actor for Bond franchize if you can create own franchize with say agent Marple..?
Connery said after Diamond's are forever he'll never play Bond again... hence the title of his last unofficial Bond and your right it is a remake of Thunderball. Thanks for this epic watch.👍💓🇬🇧
Hello Jen!😊 Sean Connery is absolutely the quintessential James Bond! 🏆 Besides originating the character on film, he has always been identified as a mans man in the series. I think he still wins in the polls as favorite James Bond.😉 Great job putting together the Sean Connery compilation of James Bond, Jen!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm of the opinion that Bond got cancer from the irradiated water in Dr. No's nuclear reactor, and that's why Connery was replaced by George Lazenby in 1969. Either that, cirrhosis of the liver, or lung cancer. As well Eunice Gayson playing Sylvia Trench in two films, other female supporting actors appeared in multiple roles in different films: Kerim Bey's secretary was played by Nadja Regin, who also appeared as the dancer Bonita (bathtub electrocution) in Goldfinger (1964). Martine Beswick played Zora the gypsy fighting girl in From Russia With Love, as well as Bond's co-worker Paula in Jamaica in Thunderball. Mai Ling played both Mei-Lei in Goldfinger and Bath Girl #2 in You Only Live Twice. The one woman who had the longest-lasting relationship with Bond was Lois Maxwell's Miss Moneypenny, appearing in a total of 25 Bond films and being protrayed by six actresses. You would be Miss MoneyJenny, and Thunderball is my favorite Connery Bond film, with You Only Live Twice a close second. Akiko Wakabayashi is my favorite Bond girl.
Your "Tarantula in Bond's room" reaction from Dr. No is just pure gold, you should have placed a pane of glass between you and the TV when watching that.😉
@@jenmurrayxo You messed up your description Timestamp; it's 2:38:46 for "Diamonds Are Forever". Also, hooray, Sean Connery's Bond meets Donald Pleasence's Blofeld!
2:08:16 - ‘THUNDERBALL’ was a military term used by US soldiers to describe the mushroom cloud seen during the testing of atomic bombs. It was therefore used as a title because this would be the result if SPECTRE were to detonate the stolen bombs in the movie.
There’s simply tons I could share about Bond but instead just one bit: for Dr No, Felix Leiter, is played by Jack Lord. He had the lead for the legendary tv series Hawaii 5-0 🎉. Ps: subscribe to Jen’s excellent channel 🎉❤
In real life, there is a company called Rocket Lab who are building a rocket that is similar to the spacecraft in _You Only Live Twice_ . It's called the Neutron, and it will have kind of a "mouth" at the front that splits open. It will be a reusable rocket like SpaceX's Falcon 9, and the "petals" of the "mouth" take the place of aerodynamic fairings that are normally jettisoned. When the Neutron has expended its fuel, its "mouth" will open to release the internal second stage, and the main rocket will land to be reused again. It looks like life imitating art to me.
These Bond movies are what gave Mike Myers the idea for Austin Powers.

I Happily rewatch so many of Your Reactions, that I can never watch just one and be done!😇Thank You for this Nostalgic Surprise today💝and don't worry about those Critics in the Comments, I've always thought that Your "Bondy" was Cute!👌
In case you didn't notice the bad guy in "From Russia with Love" is Robert Shaw the boat captain from "Jaws". Also the head of SPECTRE is played by Max Von Sydow, king Oseric in Conan the Barbarian. The real Willard White was being played by country musician Jimmy Dean now know for his sausage.
Great reactions Jen it's nice you included Never Say Never again even though it's not technically part of the main James Bond canon films due to legal issues at the time.
This is such a wonderful product for you to give us Bond and Film fans. "JennyPenny" gets my vote, although I'd hate to lose you to a mere supporting character for Bond movies.
It's Bond... Jen's Bond - reactions! Great idea to put all the Sean Connery 007's in one group! This is going to be a good watch! Thanks Jen-007! 😎Licensed to React!❤️💛
The Connery bonds were all about the storyline.. twists and turns, etc... Roger Moore bonds get more into the gadgets and stunts..I believe the Roger Moore bond broke several world records for the stunts... the Brosnan bonds were all about the special effects... Great reaction. To talk like Sean, you just have to talk low, and make every "s" a "sh" lol... yesh...😅
Nash was played by Robert Shaw later known as Quint in Jaws. Rosa Kleb was played by Lotte Lenya German actor married to composer Kurt Weill creator of The Three Penny Opera.
2:14:17 - MR KIDD - Portrayed by Patrick Verne ‘Putter’ Smith [b.1941] is an American jazz bassist, music teacher, author, and actor. He was playing with jazz legend Thelonious Monk at Shelly's Manne-Hole jazz club, in Los Angeles when he was spotted by director Guy Hamilton, who cast him as the assassin Mr. Kidd.
2:41:17 - MR WINT - portrayed by Bruce Glover [b.1932] is an American character actor. He is the father of actor Crispin Glover who portrayed George McFly in ‘Back To The Future’ (1985).
I love all the times your villain side peeps out watching these movies, Jen! X) Being a music person, if you ever watch the old TV comedy spy show Get Smart, you'll notice the opening theme is very reminiscent of these James Bond music scores. If the Bond movies and the Naked Gun movies hooked up, Get Smart would be their love child. Loved all your reactions to Bondy! :))))
1:10:23 - "I NEVER JOKE ABOUT MY WORK." - Q (Quartermaster) Major Boothroyd, Q-Branch, MI:5. Q was portrayed by Desmond Llewelyn [RIP December 1999 at 85] from 1963 to 1999.
1:59:41 - IDENTICAL MEASURES TAKEN - A sheet of glass was used to keep Sean Connery and the shark apart in the underwater scene. The same technique was used to keep the actor and a tarantula spider apart in Dr No (1962).
Haha. Lots of fun as always Jen. "Lovely lairdies" galore! Bond went downhill fast after Sean Connery and Roger Moore but we must give credit to the film studios who make so much money by keeping it going. Weirdly enough, the only Bond Movie I have on DVD is the original Casino Royale, which is just bizarre but which has more of a plot than anything that followed.
You missed the part in Dr. No where they say his island, Crab Key, has a Bauxite Mine on it. Bauxite is one of the main sources of Aluminum (AKA Aluminium). The big building on the shore is for processing and loading onto ships.
My favorite Bond films are “Tomorrow Never Dies,” Pierce Brosnan. “For your eyes only,” Roger Moore, “moonraker,” Roger Moore, “The Man with the Golden Gun,” Roger Moore, and “The Living Daylights,” Timmothy Dalton…
There is a rocket-powered gun in real life called the Gyrojet. It never took off, and examples are rare collector's items today. In fact, the rocket gun in _You Only Live Twice_ looks exactly like it, and probably really is a Gyrojet. The rocket-powered ammo looks identical, as well, so that must be it. The point is to produce little if any recoil, which can help when shooting under the condition of weightlessness.
Jen wonders if Bond has any Love Interests - Oh, Miss Money-Jenny, Behave! You're in for a treat. So much of the Bond events revolve around the Space Race and associated technology. Can't wait for Jen to get into Austin Powers next!
This might surprise you, but in 1964, the price of a standard bar of gold (by weight, which is 400 troy ounces) was indeed £5000. Today, that same bar is worth £786,868, which is $1,018,481.81 (US) or $1,393,252.09 (Canada). And the price is still increasing.
2:45:11 - DIAMOND SMUGGLER TIP? - A Boss hires thugs and directs ‘em. “Hiding gems in two stiffs will protect ‘em” Later quizzed, ‘Which safe spot, had they hidden the lot? Don’t worry they said, “No one wrecked ‘em.”
In DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER the actor that plays Mr. Wint (Bruce Glover) has a son who is also an actor. That actor is Crispin Glover, who is best known as George McFly from the "Back to the Future" films.😉
1:38:30 - THUNDERBALL TITLE TUNE - Performed by (Sir) Tom Jones [b. June 1940]. According to Bond production legend, Jones fainted in the recording booth when singing the song's final note. Jones said of the incident, "I closed my eyes and I held the note for so long when I opened my eyes the room was spinning."
Yes, there are magnets that can lift cars. Generally they are electromagnets rather than natural magnets so that they can be turned on and off at will. Such large electromagnets are used in junkyards all the time. I'm not sure whether a helicopter can readily be equipped with such a magnet, but at the very least it is certainly possible to do it (might need an upgraded electrical generator).
David Heddison(Felix Leighter) starred as the captain of an advanced submarine in the science fiction TV series, "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea," which followed a feature film of the same title.
Going back to the inception of JennyPenny, wow! I always marvel at the growth and evolution of you on this channel Jen. You only get better and better! PS: so close to 80K!! Livestream to celebrate perhaps? At a time when your Aussie fans can tune in naturally 😀
Connery’s best performances were in “Dr No,” “From Russia With Love,” and “Never Say Never Again.” (His personal favourite was “From Russia With Love.”) For “Never Say Never Again,” he had final say in the script and casting. The title was the idea of Connery’s wife Micheline. She gently ribbed him about his earlier decision to NEVER play Bond again. (Her name is in the end credits.) The result was far superior to “Thunderball.” Your reactions, Jen, as always, are charming and funny.
That's an interesting telescope. It looks like a disguised 8" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a 90-degree diagonal mirror. A configuration like this is usually used for astronomy rather than terrestrial use. I wonder why this choice was made.
Having watched Goldfinger, you should watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (also written by Ian Flemming). Although a family movie, it's spot the James Bond connections.
9:50 - JACK LORD portrays CIA Agent Felix Leiter. Jack Lord is known primarily for portraying police detective Steve McGarrett in the popular1960s TV series, 'Hawaii 5-0'. His catchphrase (used at the end of every episode) was 'Book him, Danno'.'' Book em, Danno' or 'Book him, Danno. Murder One.
1:10:36 - AURIC GOLDFINGER - Portrayed by Gert Frobe who spoke little English, said his lines phonetically, but was too slow and therefore had to be entirely redubbed. He had to double the speed of his performance to get the right tempo. The name Auric contains AU, the chemical symbol for gold.
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE FACTS - Red Grant (Robert Shaw) is probably best known as the cranky fisherman Quint from the film "Jaws". The SPECTRE guy Morzent (Walter Gotell) seen during the Red Grant training session would later be recast in future James Bond films as the recurring Russian character General Gogol. The James Bond films were known for showing the title of the next film after the mid/end credits. It would say "James Bond will return in ..........." on the screen, Jen.😉

There"s even a section for Bond Girls, perfect for Jenny Penny.
Excellent idea, 00Jen! You're the #1 Bond reactor on YT, you should get a framed award or something. 💜
Glad you included "Never Say Never Again" I love that one which doesn't seem to be the popular opinion.

That's more than your average "tax avoider" has done.

CSIS says Jen Murray is on their candidate list. They found her fear of arachnids and desire to see things go boom disqualifying.
I loved and thoroughly enjoyed all of Jen's James Bond film reactions. The best of all the Bond film reactors out there on youtube for sure!
These are so important for so many comedies. "The Venture Bros.," "Archer" and of course, "Austin Powers" are just a few.
This is actually a really good idea to do for the whole series 😊.

12:49 If you look closely at Sean Connery's arm, you can see that it's pushed up against the glass that is protecting him from the spider.
I can't believe no one makes a Jaws reference in the comments of 'From Russia With Love'.

You missed the part in Dr. No where they say his island, Crab Key, has a Bauxite Mine on it. Bauxite is one of the main sources of Aluminum (AKA Aluminium). The big building on the shore is for processing and loading onto ships.
Also I think the best Bond film is yet to come, Sean got the franchise to a flying start.
My favorite Bond films are “Tomorrow Never Dies,” Pierce Brosnan. “For your eyes only,” Roger Moore, “moonraker,” Roger Moore, “The Man with the Golden Gun,” Roger Moore, and “The Living Daylights,” Timmothy Dalton…

This might surprise you, but in 1964, the price of a standard bar of gold (by weight, which is 400 troy ounces) was indeed £5000. Today, that same bar is worth £786,868, which is $1,018,481.81 (US) or $1,393,252.09 (Canada). And the price is still increasing.
I was just thinking about your Bond reactions today. :) I'll rewatch this and keep an eye out for any dames trying to kill 007.
Hey Jen, Back then in the 60's they didn't have metal detectors at airports... I remember the good old days..!
*”Yeah, baby!”* The inspiration for *Austin Danger Powers* 🤓🇬🇧
Danger is is middle name
Moonraker is a must watch. I'm not saying for sure, but there might be space shenanigans
Inside joke that used to be allowed in hollywood pictures or british cinema in this case. Didnt bond have a souped up mustang in that one.
Didn't bond have a souped up mustang in moonraker. The fake moonlanding studio was an inside joke that used to be allowed it seems.

Going back to the inception of JennyPenny, wow! I always marvel at the growth and evolution of you on this channel Jen. You only get better and better!
PS: so close to 80K!! Livestream to celebrate perhaps? At a time when your Aussie fans can tune in naturally 😀
When is best for Aussies?
@jenmurrayxo For me around 5pm either Saturday or Sunday your time. That way I watch you at 10am on Sunday or Monday
Connery’s best performances were in “Dr No,” “From Russia With Love,” and “Never Say Never Again.” (His personal favourite was “From Russia With Love.”)
For “Never Say Never Again,” he had final say in the script and casting. The title was the idea of Connery’s wife Micheline. She gently ribbed him about his earlier decision to NEVER play Bond again. (Her name is in the end credits.) The result was far superior to “Thunderball.”
Your reactions, Jen, as always, are charming and funny.
That's an interesting telescope. It looks like a disguised 8" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a 90-degree diagonal mirror. A configuration like this is usually used for astronomy rather than terrestrial use. I wonder why this choice was made.
Wow!! Can’t wait to settle into this later tonight.
Having watched Goldfinger, you should watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (also written by Ian Flemming). Although a family movie, it's spot the James Bond connections.
9:50 - JACK LORD portrays CIA Agent Felix Leiter. Jack Lord is known primarily for portraying police detective Steve McGarrett in the popular1960s TV series, 'Hawaii 5-0'. His catchphrase (used at the end of every episode) was 'Book him, Danno'.'' Book em, Danno' or 'Book him, Danno. Murder One.
This is a nice surprise Jen. The Bond reactions are some of your best, I can’t wait to binge watch this and RIP Sean Connery.
1:10:36 - AURIC GOLDFINGER - Portrayed by Gert Frobe who spoke little English, said his lines phonetically, but was too slow and therefore had to be entirely redubbed. He had to double the speed of his performance to get the right tempo. The name Auric contains AU, the chemical symbol for gold.
Cars are mostly empty space, so given sufficient force, it is easy to crush them down into a much smaller cube of steel.
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE FACTS - Red Grant (Robert Shaw) is probably best known as the cranky fisherman Quint from the film "Jaws". The SPECTRE guy Morzent (Walter Gotell) seen during the Red Grant training session would later be recast in future James Bond films as the recurring Russian character General Gogol. The James Bond films were known for showing the title of the next film after the mid/end credits. It would say "James Bond will return in ..........." on the screen, Jen.😉
I didn't know you did a reaction. ❤ Thank u
In this context, "piqued" means irritated. In other contexts, it can mean stimulated, as in "That piqued my curiosity."
