Not a ferret in that early scene - a mongoose. They kill and eat venomous snakes like cobras, and win the vast majority of their fights with them. Mongooses fighting cobras is famous worldwide in part because of the children's story Rikki-Tiki-Tavi (part of the Jungle Book).
Enjoyed your reaction! You should watch all the Daniel Craig 007 films in chronological order because they are all interconnected and have a story arc that spans from Casino Royale to his last, No Time to Die.
Growing up, my Bond was Roger Moore...who truly encompassed the wild 70's and early 80's. Definitely continue on and finish all of the Daniel Craig films. After that, work your way forward, starting at the beginning with Sean Connery. It'll take some time to watch each era, but it's a good challenge worth the time and effort to see each take of Bond, and the time period they exist within.
There is only two Roger Moore Bond movies I like, which are Live and Let Die, and For Your Eyes Only. The rest of them are just too ridiculous to my tastes.
The first one, "Dr. No", is dated, but great. It is like a time capsule of the early sixties, and Sean Connery is an ultimate badass. I would recommend watching it as well.
Pierce Brosnan was my first Bond but I really like Daniel Craig's take on the character. Fun fact In the original novel by Ian Fleming the Casino Royale is inspired by the Casino Estoril in Portugal, a country that was neutral during WW2 but right in the middle of the conflict and thus a spy hotbed
@@madeincda I know that his movies sucked (aside from Goldeneye) but I actually liked The World Is Not Enough… that was another one of his “better” movies. I agree that Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day weren’t that good
Craig's is most accurate to the books. The inspiration for the reboot was to make him more cold and hard, because that's how Fleming wrote him originally.
@@maxducoudray fun fact: Fleming didn’t want Connery at first, because he wasn’t British. James Bond is supposed to be British, Sean Connery is Scottish. He wanted Cary Grant at first but he was too old for the part, but when they did a screen test with Connery… Fleming was blown away. Sean Connery was born to play James Bond
Now you've started the Daniel Craig Bonds Trixy, you need to watch them in release order as there is a ongoing story running through them. 'Casino Royale' - 'Quantum of Solace' - 'Skyfall' - 'Spectre' & finally 'No Time To Die' Otherwise. it's really the Connery movies that are the best IMHO again probably in release order.
Agree, also. "Casino Royale" was basically a reboot of the Bond story so once started continue with the Craig movies. After that, you can still go back to the beginning with Connery and "Dr. No".
The terrorist being pursued by Bond at the beginning of the film is played by Sebastien Foucan, who developed the sport of freerunning. That's what he and (to a lesser extent, Bond) are doing throughout that chase sequence, which was specially choreographed by Foucan.
In Venice, Italy many of the buildings are built on wooden pilings. The building where Vesper died was being repaired and rebuilt. The inflatable tubes were helping support the building while the foundation was being fixed.
Choosing Casino Royale is a good idea, since it was kind of a reboot of the franchise. The Craig-films have one story arc. The others are all interchangeable. My recommendations for the older ones are Goldfinger, Thunderball, The spy who loved me, For your eyes only, Licence to kill, Goldeneye and The world is not enough.
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger", the two Timothy Dalton, "Goldeneye" and "Skyfall" for the best Bond !
I haven't seen many people react to GoldenEye, and that is Pierce Brosnans best (imo). It's got a good story, it's funny, the bond girl isn't just for show, it's got a compelling villain and henchman, and there are several stunts in it that are mind-blowingly epic.
Straight up the Film that Bond back after a 7/8yr absence Love Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough, I wished he'd of done 2 more Knowing Brosnan he would have done 100 lol
As to the nice car, an Aston Martin is the traditional car for James Bond. They make very beautiful cars and his normally come equipped with spy extras from "Q" who is responsible for developing all bonds gadgets which you will see more of in future movies. Probably the iconic Bond Aston Martin was the DB5 from the movie Goldfinger (1965)
Sean Connery will always be my number 1 when it comes to James Bond actors. But starting off with the first Craig (my second favourite 007 actor) Bond isn't a bad idea either. I give you my blessing. 😁 5:50 By the way this cobra is fighting a mongoose (mongooses are quick predators and equal opponents to snakes of even that size).
“I don’t know who he is. He’s someone’s brother.” That is Felix Leitner, a agent for the American CIA, as implied in saying “a brother from Langley”; the CIA is located in Langley, Virginia, USA. His character frequently comes up in Bond films.
The old james bonds are like in one universe, one character but different actors. Daniel Craig's is like a reboot of James Bond's story, a stand alone series.
If you watch the older ones, you have to put your mind back to the 60's, 70's, 80's vibe and try to imagine what it was like to watch them back them. Don't compare them to modern movies. You will find them all enjoyable.
Unlike the other Bond movies, this is the first of a full story arc. Watch them all. Even the lesser ones in the sequence are very good. As you head towards the last one l recommend you also watch On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, because No Time to Die has references to it that - though not directly in the Craig arc - offers a kind of thematic riff on OHMSS. Cannot say more without spoilers.
You are correct about us Bond fans. We love everything about them, the amazing locations, action, witt, styles of clothing and watches and cars, the music!! You started with one of the best. We all have our favorites of course, but you will enjoy any of them, but may not fully understand by skipping around out of order. But I hope you continue with the series.
If I were to recommend one movie from each actor to get anyone into the series... Sean Connery - From Russia With Love George Lazenby - OHMSS Roger Moore - The Spy Who Loved Me Timothy Dalton - License To Kill Pierce Brosnan - Goldeneye
I have a crush on Eva Green for years, since I've seen her on Camelot, but this series was cancelled after just one season, then I loved her on Penny Dreadful, she nailed it on that series.
Casino Royale is a good way to start. But I recommend you watch the old ones. This is the list I recommend SEAN CONNERY (The first and the coolest) 1) DR. NO -- the very first. 2) FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (his best) 3) GOLDFINGER (sets the standard) GEORGE LAZENBY 4) ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (the best Bond Novel) ROGER MOORE (the most light hearted) 5) FOR YOUR EYES ONLY 6) THE SPY WHO LOVE ME 7) TO LIVE AND LET DIE TIMOTHY DALTON (His portrayal was the closest to the novels) 7) THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS 8) LICENCE TO KILL PEARCE BROSNAN (The modern Bond) 9) GOLDENEYE 10) TOMORROW NEVER DIES DANIEL CRAIG (the REBOOT/The Toughest) 11) CASINO ROYALE (the very first Bond novel) 12) SKYFALL 13) SPECTRE 14) NO TIME TO DIE There are other greats I may have missed but let a separate poll decide just for fun
Goldfinger 1964 - The first original James Bond character (and Daniel Craigs Bond character was modelled after Sean Connery, because the audience found the other Bonds too weak!), and especially: Gert Fröbe was an absolutely stunning, evil and interesting Bond villain, most probably the most iconic of all 26 movies, together with Donald Pleasance as Blofeld. I liked the Oscar-winnerJavier Bardem as Bond villain, but he did not reach this quality. And a character named Pussy (I will not spoiler the last name, who ever saw the movie can never forget THAT one) was something totally unique, especially at that time - still sooo entertaining. I mean, you can't beat that. Actually, nearly all names in this movie are pure gold. And one of these all-time classic one-liners comes up instantly to my mind. Maybe the best one ever, when James faced death, once again. And it's not even HIS line! The whole movie is gold. Don't get me started on the iconic title song. I am a bit shocked so few people recommended this one. It was a Bond movie that got an Oscar and recouped it's production costs in only 3 weeks (entry into the Guiness Book of Records). MANY refer to it as the best Bond movie of ALL times. For a good reason. 99% on Rotten Tomatoes! It recouped 40x it's production costs, has a really entertaining script, all of the greatest dangers that were available at that time and although it has a really hard Bond character who actually has this secret agent flair that many later Bonds didn't, it also has a good portion of humor. Quite THE Bond movie prototype.
@@jamesdamiano8894 Goldeneye is an old movie tho, its almost 28 years old iirc. You do know movies can be considered old, even if older movies exist, right?
Pierce Brosnon was the Bond I was first introduced to, with “GoldenEye” which is a must watch. Pierce did 4 movies as Bond and they’re all really good. The first series with Sean Connery are all very dated but are all considered really good as well. Unfortunately, Roger Moore was basically given the worst scripts to work with. Stay away from “Diamonds Are Forever”, “MoonRaker”, “Live and Let Die”, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, and “A View To A Kill”. “Casino Royale” was the 1st book, and the 1st appearance of Daniel Craig, which was actually done as a Reboot to the Series, as if Bond had just been given his Double 00 status, and this was his 1st Adventure.
Dear Blue, it's difficult to pick just one Bond film. You might enjoy seeing one Bond film from each decade. But my personal favorite is ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969). Great reaction.
Watch the direct sequel to this next, Quantum of Solace. The fact that is starts IMMEDIATELY where this one ended should be reason enough to watch it more so than other films being more interesting or better. After you finish the Daniel Craig bonds, start at the begining with Dr. No for the Sean Connery films.
After this are Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, SPECTRE and No Time to Die. The other actors to play James Bond are Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. The character and movies were adapted from the Ian Fleming novels
Daniel Craig was one of many Star Wars fans willing to do an un-credited cameo in a Star Wars film. In SW ep.7 'The Force Awakens', he was the Storm Trooper that Rey practiced her Jedi mind trick on in order to escape the torture room. Roger Moore was James Bond when I grew up. He was the lighter, funnier, Bond and I found his movies so much fun to watch. I believe he started with LIVE AND LET DIE !1973), THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974), my two favorite of all Bond films THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977), and MOONRAKER (1979) which starred one of the best villains of all time, the 7'2" tall Richard Kiel as 'Jaws'. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981) had one of the most entertaining car chases ever filmed and OCTOPUSSY (1983) had some amazing stunts. I believe that A VIEW TO A KILL (1985) I was Roger Moore's last stint as '007' and was filmed in San Francisco. He also had the coolest gadgets and cars, most famously the Lotus Esprit 'submarine' in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.
Casino Royale is the best of the Craig films. Beyond this, watch the first three each by Sean Connery and Roger Moore as well as the two by Timothy Dalton.
Top 5 Bond movies (chronologically): Goldfinger, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Spy Who Loved Me, Casino Royale. You've done one already!
No broken ribs in chase scene: good fall technique. Takes the brunt of the fall on the shoulder and rolls out. 100% brilliant. It’s one of the best chase scenes in all of Bond history.
fun fact: the cia agent that bankrolls bond after he loses mi6's money (jeffrey wright) is james gordon from matt reeves' "the batman" and the voice of the watcher from marvel's "what if...?" series.
@@carlanderson7618 I agree. Dalton should’ve been the Bond in the 80s. Too bad he only did two. He immediately made it known that he wasn’t the (real life pacifist) Moore was. There was humor, but not like some of the cringy type Moore had. The Living Daylights is one of my favorites.
Starting with the Daniel Craig movies is a reasonable way to start. It's the only clear "restart" they've ever done, and the 5 movies he made have more continuity through them (though slightly less so in Quantum of Solace) than really any of the other Bonds. Of the older ones, though, I have to give a nod to Goldfinger, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, Goldeneye, and Never Say Never Again (the "unofficial" remake of Thunderball).
You made a great decision. All the Daniel Craig movies are linked so it's important to see those in sequence. And don't let anyone or any website decide what to like for you.
Glad to see your reaction to Casino Royale. I would love to see you continue with the Daniel Craig films, as well as the other Bond films. Some are better than others. I would definitely put On Her Majesty's Secret Service from 1969 on your list of Bond films to watch. I recently got a new book called Being Bond that is a retrospective look at Daniel Craig's time as James Bond now that he has left the role. Very interesting book. And this past Friday I bought a new three-record set on vinyl with all the James Bond theme songs, from Dr. No in 1962 to Craig's last film, No Time To Die. It was great to listen to.
Hi Blue. DID YOU KNOW: the scene where the Aston Martin crashed and tumbled. That set a WORLD RECORD for the most barrel rolls in a car crash at 6 Barrel Rolls. And that very Aston Martin that performed the crash sits in a museum to this day.
Each Bond movie is an event too, it's not just a movie. A LOT is expected of a new Bond movie. They need to be doing action sequences that push the boundaries of what's possible at the time. Each one is a major tent pole movie where the studio expects to make bank from big ticket sales, repeat viewings, DVD sales etc. Each one has it's own Bond girls, gadgets, cars, and a commissioned theme tune that's released and marketed as a single, with a tie in music video etc. I think it was the Bond movies that started the trend of the huge explosive pre-title action sequence. Before that, movies always started with the titles and or credits showing you who you were about to see.
In regard of the titles, Star Wars was an exception. Back then, they had to get a special permission from (I think) the actors guild, to be able to show no beginning titles at all, only the „A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…“, „STAR WARS“, and the text crawl.
Just a general info note on the Bond movies and their order. Daniel Craig's movies are in chronological order. The first few Bond films also have a certain storyline order. Most of the middle ones can be seen in any order.
The Daniel Craig Bond movies have a continuing story to them, so it would probably be best to watch them in order. Most of the other Bond movies are non-serialized, with each movie essentially being its own standalone story with little in the way of story continuity from film to film. They would even recast Bond four or five times across the series, and there isn't much acknowledgment of it and it has no bearing to the plot. But Daniel Craig's casting was an intentional restart for the series, as he's meant to be a younger Bond on his very first mission as a Double-0 agent. Casino Royale was a reboot for the franchise. After 20 or so Bond movies, formula had set it (Bond is sent in to stop some cartoonishly evil villain from enacting a plan of world domination) and had become increasingly absurd in its set pieces (at one point, Bond drives an invisible car and surfs on a tsunami.) So inspired by Batman Begins, they decided to bring Bond back to a more grounded, realistic tone with Casino Royale.
Daniel Craig insisted on doing most of his stuntwork. In that opening chase scene at the construction site, Craig actually lost the tip of one of his fingers.
The Vesper Martini that Bond orders (3 gin 1 vodka 1 Kina Lillet ?) is the only martini drink actually mentioned in the book. Lots of scotch is mentioned but only that mix. The Vodka Martini in the early films was a tip to early sponsoring by Smirnoff.
You were spot on about how every single James Bonde film has a "Bonde Girl" that he becomes romantic with, however this run of Bonde with Daniel Craig is almost like a soft reboot of James Bonde. So this is one of his first ever missions and he truly fell in love with the girl, but his love for her and hers for him cost her, her life and sort of fucked over the Agency. So I think the idea is, when "M" said "You've learned your lesson" that was to never fall in love.. hence forth, Bonde will be charming and have flings with the ladies but never truly give them his heart.
If you want to check out older ones I recommend Goldeneye from 1995-a lot of people's first James Bond, also considered one of the best and well representative of the series as a whole. If you want to watch an older one, try On Her Majesty's Secret Service, arugably the best of the 60s Bonds and one Craig movies take a lot from. And maybe Moonraker or Die Another Day, which are NOT among the best, but are hilarious and absolutely worth seeing to know just how fucking BONKERS this series got (that Craig's take is contrasting).
Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, and You Only Live Twice are absolute classics. Personally, I loved For Your Eyes Only and Goldeneye, and most of the Daniel Craig films. But everyone has their own opinions.
My favorite ones are Sean Connery: Dr No, Goldfinger, Thunderball, From Russia With Love, Diamonds are Forever Daniel Crag: Casino Royale, Skyfall Roger Moore: The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, Live and Let Die, Moonraker Pierce Brosnan: Goldeneye Timothy Dalton: The Living Daylights, Licence to Kill George Lazenby: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
In the fight between the cobra vs the mongoose..the mongoose wins between 75% to 80% of the time..but not always..due to it's quickness, thick fur, and it's ability to withstand mild doses of venom..
It makes sense that you would watch the Daniel Craig 007 films because the franchise did a total reboot, starting with Daniel Craig's 007 Casino Royale. Daniel Craig is also the latest James Bond. All the other 007 Bond films are a continuation of the adventure from the previous film. But you don't necessarily have to know all the previous movies if you just jumped into one. They are each well enough as a stand-alone movie. Sean Connery was the 1st Bond. Then George Lazenby. The torch was then handed to Roger Moore. Then Timothy Daltan. Note that there are references to previous Bond films about a former Bond actor despite having a different actor playing the current role. For example, Timothy Daltan, as 007 in License to Kill, had a reference that James Bond was previously married. We know that was referring to 007 played by George Lazenby in, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. We didn't see Timothy Daltan marry. We saw George Lazenby. But because they are the same character, your mind suspends belief and you just accept that Timothy Daltan's 007 experienced that marriage. It is a bit tricky because each actor has their own spin on how they portray their 007 character. Anyway, after Timothy Daltan was Pierce Brosnan. Then Daniel Craig. The latest. I remember watching Casino Royale in the theaters. This is one of my favorite 007 Bond films. For sure. So, you chose well to start with this film. -OG
I am one of those who feels seeing them "more or less" in order is a good thing. For the most part each movie is self contained, but there are some carry through. That said this is almost a reboot, where fans can catch nods to the original, but they also cater to new/first time watchers. I'm a fan from... way back I've seen them all but not quite in chronological order. I wasn't around when the first ones came out but... I started watching Bond in the Sean Connery and Roger Moore days. Watch "some" old ones before you go to far so you catch a few more of the call backs.
Yeah you’re right. There are so many which to choose from. The nice thing about James Bond Movies is they are a journey through time. There is the thematic aspect which all of us original Bond fans recognise. A thrilling intro, a beautiful First Lady (like yourself) and an entertaining and fanciful progression which so perfectly emphasises and the character of he time!… As far as old school bond I would imaging “A Man With The Golden Gun” would receive allot if votes. Thanks for the awesome reactions!
I'm so happy to see more James Bond reactions on RUclips lately and this was great. :) I loved the surprise when Vesper turned out to be a bad guy. It's definitely understandable to not react to every James Bond movie but I'd love to see a reaction to GoldenEye (1995).
The Bond movies are usually divided up by actor, but each "era" also usually comes with its own tone and level, from light comedy through to serious grit. The Daniel Craig ones are as a whole probably the darkest and most earnest ones, then Timothy Dalton, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby, and the Roger Moore movies of the 70s and early 80s were often bordering on ridiculous with how cheesy and clownish they were. My recommended choice from each actor's selection is thus: Connery - Goldfinger (1964), the archetype that introduced so much of the Bond formula for decades to come Lazenby - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), his only Bond film Moore - The Man with the Golden Gun (1973), probably one of the weakest movies apart from Christopher Lee playing a fantastic villain, worth seeing for the sheer contrast Dalton - Licence to Kill (1989), the only one to receive a 15+ rating in the UK, very gritty and realistic Brosnan - GoldenEye (1995), which also inspired one of the greatest movie-to-videogame conversions of all time for the Nintendo 64 And you've just seen what would've been my recommendation for Craig. Hope you enjoy whichever ones are picked for you!
Pierce Brosnan was our Bond growing up, GoldenEye was apart of our lives. I was extremely apprehensive about Daniel Craig as 007, but it was a gamble that paid off. He took the character into a darker direction.
Their are actually 27 Bond movies. 25 are Eon films and 2 that are non Eon film. One of the non Eon film is also called Casino Royale it's a Bond spoof film. The other non Eon film is called Never Say Never Again it's an adaptation of Thunderball
My advice for someone new to Bond, is that you've started in a good spot. Previously Bond movies weren't really connected, apart from the odd part here and there, so there's no need to watch them all, or in order. You're not missing anything. The Daniel Craig era was the response to the Bourne movies. Bond was getting very stale, and Bourne injected a whole new action focus. The Daniel Craig era does carry a story over multiple movies, so it IS worth watching in order. It is worth watching some older Bond movies, because it defined the action / spy genre. If you want an oddball Bond movie, check out the original 1967 Casino Royale. Ian Fleming wrote Casino Royale as the first Bond novel, and sold the movie rights to a company who sat on them. He then wrote Dr No, and sold it to a different company. They cast Sean Connery, and started the whole Bond franchise with Dr No. The owners of Casino Royale wanted to cash in on their property, so they made the 1967 movie, but they only had the rights to the novel, not the interpretations of the characters etc. It fit's into that "it's so bad, it's good" category. Some 40 odd years later, the Official Bond franchise owners get the rights for the Casino Royale novel, and THIS is the result. Each Bond movie was a reflection of it's time, in how it treats women etc. It's a refection of the backdrop. Most of the 60's and 70's Bond movies had the Cold War as the backdrop. Some are more grounded and serious, some are sillier. Each new Bond actor was intended to be there for a number of movies. The one that didn't work out, was George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, who it was deemed that he was cast way above his ability, and only had one Bond movie. As to which Bond movies, I'd suggest a poll for your Patrons to get two of each Bond. Two Sean Connery's, two Roger Moore's etc. Make sure you do all the Daniel Craig's in order, because it's one connected story. Before that, think of Bond as a new story with the same characters, sometimes played by different actors. You'll get to know the recurring characters, like Felix Lighter of the CIA, as Bond's occasional ally, and "brother from across the pond". Dr No is the movie that started EVERYTHING. It was what set the tone for the franchise. Arguably, you need to watch Dr No, even it it's not one of your Sean Connery picks. They were also a reflection of what the public was used to too. Movies based on comic books with super villains were very campy, and OTT. I believe Iron Man was the first to go the more grounded and realistic route. Oh yeah, and if you haven't checked out the Bourne movies, you're missing out. They're AMAZING.
You should start with Dr. No, Sean Connery from 62. After that, From Russia With Love, which is my personal favorite, then Goldfinger, which is widely considered one of the best.
I'd say continue with the Daniel Criag ones as they continue off each other and he's the recent guy to play the character, then move to the Originals and Start with Dr No all the way to Die Another Day! I particularly love Sir Rodger Moore as Bond as I've met him a few times as he lived near me when he was alive and he was always such a charming gentleman who always talked to fans about his work and never acted like a bigwig film star!
“Is the fastest human Usain Bolt??” We are talking about a truck full of gas going in reverse. Yes Bond could catch up to it. This film actually takes the time to consider what’s physically possible. Yes the action is exaggerated but compared to a John Wick or a fast and furious this is a documentary Trixie!
The chase scene starting from 6:23 ... that's parcour and is a real sport Pacour was founded by Raymond Belle, his son David Belle (who is Mainactor of the District B13 movies and the american reboot Brickmansion) and some others, including Sébastien Foucan, who playes the bad guy in this chase scene. Casino Royale made Parcour Mainstream/Popular for the world but in Europe, the two pacour action movies District B13 movies starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli were released some years earlier and made parcour popular before. The Daniel Craig Bond movies are the best ones for me and Daniel Craig is the best Bond actor for me too
Honestly the only other DC Bond film i enjoy watching and know for a fact is worthwhile would be Skyfall. From Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan there’s not many lousy movies within the 007 franchise but I’m sure that you’ll be able to appreciate and enjoy watching most if not some of these Bond movies. 🎬🎥👊🏻🔫
The guy Bond is chasing on the crane etc is a free runner called Sebastien. Free runners take some pretty big drops on their knees. Some say Seb started it all but I think Jackie Chan was the original free runner.
Craigs Bond is not a bad choice to start with. Just be aware that the old Bonds are pretty different. They always followe the "Zeitgeist" to some degree, but with Craig they made a pretty big switch. It's a more serious and modern approach that probably makes it easier to get into the franchise. So you didn't really saw what the "classic"Bond trademark style really is. My recommendations to get the essence of all periods and actors would be "Goldfinger" + "From Russia With Love" (with Connery), "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (with Lazenby - a must see in the franchise for one reason I can't spoiler), "The Man With The Golden Gun" + "Moonraker" (with Moore), "Licence To Kill" (with Dalton) and "Goldeneye" with Brosnan.
Add in The Spy Who Loved Me as Moonraker has some continuity with it. And TSWLM has what is often voted as the greatest opening scene. It's also got a cool car. And watch OHMSS before No Time To Die
All the Bond movies are great in my opinion. The men that play Bond bring something different to each film the one thing that never changes no matter who the villain is that specter is always in control behind the scenes.
You're right. There are so many of them, and it is a lot to take on. I think for someone your age, who's new to it, it's alright to just follow along with the Daniel Craig ones. When he started, he always kind of had a slightly different vibe than the traditional James Bond, and if anything, they're actually a little more serious, but I think he's done well. You kind of have to understand that the Bond movies were always a little campy, and even sometimes a little cheesey. Some more than others, but that was kind of the fun of it. They always were very fantastical. For me though, Sean Connery was always the standard to follow. He was the original, but mainly for me, Sean Connery was always just the coolest mother F'er on the planet. Young and Old. Bond and post Bond. Maybe that's based off a much more old fashioned mentality than you have, but what can I say? The dude just had it! In my mind, at 80 years old and bald, I imagine that he could walk into any room full of people, and all eyes would be on him. The man was a pimp!You saw him as Indie's father in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". You should also check out the unrelated "The Hunt For Red October" by the way, but I think you should check out at least one Sean Connery James Bond flick just to see him young for yourself. "From Russia With Love" or "Goldfinger" are usually the most popular ones. At one point Sean Connery didn't want to do any more Bond movies, and they got George Lazenby, who was an Australian male model that kind of conned his way into the part. There was a pretty cool documentary about it a while a go, but he basically got lucky in landing the role, did one movie, but was kind of over it immediately, and wouldn't play ball. He seems like a pretty cool guy in real life, but I honestly can't remember if I ever saw that one, and then Sean Connery came back to the role for a while longer. After Sean Connery left for good, Roger Moore took over for a long time. The Roger Moore Bond flicks were kind of a little more outlandish at times, but that's kind of what made them really fun sometimes too. I like Roger Moore, but I never thought he was ever as good looking and smooth as Sean Connery was. In fact, I always thought in those movies it was borderline cringy how aggressive he was with the ladies. I mean, he's Bond, so I never took it that seriously because the women are supposed to be into him, but there were times where I thought to myself, "Damn. You know if he wasn't James Bond I might think this is a little creepy." I might be exaggerating, and I found it more funny than anything else, but he just wasn't quite as cool as Sean Connery. In the 80s when I was a kid, there was a couple movies with Timothy Dalton taking over the role. I can't remember if you reacted to "Hot Fuzz", but he was the Supermarche owner. It's been a long time, but I remember them being pretty good. I like Timothy Dalton, but again, he just didn't pull it off quite as cool as I would've thought it should be. Now, Pierce Brosnan is a different story! In the 80s, he had a successful TV show here in America, and way before he ever was Bond, when I first saw him my immediate thought was, "That dude tottaly looks like James Bond!". Turns out, I think at that time they did actually want him to be Bond, but he couldn't do it due to his contract with the TV show, and I think they went with Timothy Dalton instead because of it, but of course it did eventually happen. This is all just my opinion by the way, but I feel like Pierce Brosnan was the first one to really have the looks and charm to pull off James Bond, at least the way I think about James Bond, since Sean Connery. I think Daniel Craig does have his own look and charisma that he brought to the role, but it's just in a little bit of a different way. You should check out some of his other stuff, if you haven't already. "Defiance" is a really good one. Also "Munich", which he doesn't play as big of a role in, but I mention just because it's a good flick in general that you should see. He's been pretty over doing 007 for a while now though, and probably rightfully so. After the last few he always says he's done, but they kept managing to pull him back in. I'm almost certain the last one was it, though. I mean, it's not a guess. That is the word on the street, and I believe it's official. So, no one's leaving the Bond money train lying on the table after decades of success! There will be another one. Soonish maybe. There's always rumors and scuttlebutt flying around that usually has people losing their F'ing minds in anger. The thing that has everyone so pissed off now is that it totally seems to be that going forward, James Bond is being replaced by a black woman 007. People are so angry! I don't care. I'm game to see how it works out. I mean, why not. In one of the Roger Moore one's (SPOILER ALERT) the bad guys are going to destroy humans from their space station where they're recreating a superior human species, and James Bond goes into space to stop them! So, let's not be so precious about it. Is it really so unbelievable to some people that a black woman could be 007? Whatever. It's just a movie, and one that's supposed to be fun. Get over it!
My favorite is the only George Lazenby film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Mostly because of the different direction it took. If you watch it, watch For Your Eyes Only after it.
To Bonds defence the truck really slows down after that 180 turn, so I don’t belive the truck is moving very fast at that point! I think it’s possible to catch up 😊
36:22 "its not very smart though". lol, well it looks like the filmmakers did their job in creating a scenario where Bond looks like he outplayed La Chiffre. But in actuality there's so many wonky things about that hand that its not even worth trying determine what La Chiffre should have done in that situation. For one thing, based on the chips that were pushed into the pot, there should have only been 108.5 million in the pot, not the 150 that Mathis says. But based on the movie's script there should be 150 million in the pot. So that throws into question what kind of odds La Chiffre was getting to call Bond's all in right off the bat. Secondly, the set up of that hand is an EXTREMELY rare scenario. The odds of getting a straight flush are about 3600 to 1, so Bond having that hand is a super rare situation to start off with. Then when you figure that he has that hand and 3 other players are in the hand with him at the end, and all 3 also have big hands, we're talking about a super ideal goldilocks set up that they wrote in there for Bond. Pros that play all the time can probably count on their hands the amount of times they've been in situations like that in their life. That's how rare it is. Finally, there are only 2 other hands that beat La Chiffre's hand at that point. The super rare straight flush nuts (nuts = highest possible hand in a round) and A8. The first is very very unlikely on its own. The latter is already somewhat unlikely given that Chiffre has A6 and there's two Aces on the board, so Bond would have to have the last Ace in the deck to have that hand. Also, given the actions of the players before him, La Chiffre can also guess that one of those players is likely to have pocket 88s, making the A8 super unlikely as Bond would then need both the last A and last 8 in the deck. So there's really no reason for La Chiffre to be worried about Bond's hand at that point. Short of seeing Bond's hole cards, La Chiffre should make that call any day of the week. Because the amount of times he's going to lose in that situation is so rare compared to the amount of times he'll win making that call. So folding there is basically like walking away from money. It just so happens that Bond's plot armor put La Chiffre into a terrible trapt position to take all his money :D
Not a ferret in that early scene - a mongoose. They kill and eat venomous snakes like cobras, and win the vast majority of their fights with them. Mongooses fighting cobras is famous worldwide in part because of the children's story Rikki-Tiki-Tavi (part of the Jungle Book).
It was a cat dude
@@MusicGuyFK No definitely a cobra 😊
I felt my inner keyboard commenter spirit rage, as soon as she said that, lol!
I mean, a ferret and a mongoose are EXTREMELY closely related.
A mongoose is basically just a mega ferret.
@@ieyke So by that logic I could legitimately call my old tabby cat Mog a tiger 🤔 😉😊
Enjoyed your reaction! You should watch all the Daniel Craig 007 films in chronological order because they are all interconnected and have a story arc that spans from Casino Royale to his last, No Time to Die.
Blue, the Daniel Craig Bonds are pretty much the only ones that follow one story arc. After you’re done with them, then you can watch the others.
Growing up, my Bond was Roger Moore...who truly encompassed the wild 70's and early 80's.
Definitely continue on and finish all of the Daniel Craig films. After that, work your way forward, starting at the beginning with Sean Connery. It'll take some time to watch each era, but it's a good challenge worth the time and effort to see each take of Bond, and the time period they exist within.
There is only two Roger Moore Bond movies I like, which are Live and Let Die, and For Your Eyes Only. The rest of them are just too ridiculous to my tastes.
I grew up during Pierce Brosnan Bond era, but my parents watched a lot of Moore and Connery Bond films a lot when I was a kid 😂😂😂
Mine was Pierce Brosnan
@@henry247 Mine too, but I also watched older ones - pretty good for thosedays :D
The first one, "Dr. No", is dated, but great. It is like a time capsule of the early sixties, and Sean Connery is an ultimate badass. I would recommend watching it as well.
I'm a big goldfinger fan myself.
Casino Royal is actually the first introduction to Bond. The original Casino movie is a crazy adaptation of the Bond character.
Pierce Brosnan was my first Bond but I really like Daniel Craig's take on the character. Fun fact In the original novel by Ian Fleming the Casino Royale is inspired by the Casino Estoril in Portugal, a country that was neutral during WW2 but right in the middle of the conflict and thus a spy hotbed
Mine too… he was “my Bond” because he was the one I grew up with
Yep same here. Love Craig's but there's something about Brosnan's that's more human and personal if that makes sense.
@@madeincda I know that his movies sucked (aside from Goldeneye) but I actually liked The World Is Not Enough… that was another one of his “better” movies. I agree that Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day weren’t that good
Craig's is most accurate to the books. The inspiration for the reboot was to make him more cold and hard, because that's how Fleming wrote him originally.
@@maxducoudray fun fact: Fleming didn’t want Connery at first, because he wasn’t British. James Bond is supposed to be British, Sean Connery is Scottish. He wanted Cary Grant at first but he was too old for the part, but when they did a screen test with Connery… Fleming was blown away. Sean Connery was born to play James Bond
Now you've started the Daniel Craig Bonds Trixy, you need to watch them in release order as there is a ongoing story running through them.
'Casino Royale' - 'Quantum of Solace' - 'Skyfall' - 'Spectre' & finally 'No Time To Die'
Otherwise. it's really the Connery movies that are the best IMHO again probably in release order.
Yes. This. :)
Hard agree
Agree, also. "Casino Royale" was basically a reboot of the Bond story so once started continue with the Craig movies. After that, you can still go back to the beginning with Connery and "Dr. No".
It's a shame every other one is absolute shit. But I'll still watch QoS over Spectre and NTtD every time.
@@MontgomeryWenis Careful dude, don't want any influence on Trixy. I agree as it happens although I did like Quantum & Spectre.
The terrorist being pursued by Bond at the beginning of the film is played by Sebastien Foucan, who developed the sport of freerunning. That's what he and (to a lesser extent, Bond) are doing throughout that chase sequence, which was specially choreographed by Foucan.
In Venice, Italy many of the buildings are built on wooden pilings. The building where Vesper died was being repaired and rebuilt. The inflatable tubes were helping support the building while the foundation was being fixed.
Choosing Casino Royale is a good idea, since it was kind of a reboot of the franchise. The Craig-films have one story arc. The others are all interchangeable. My recommendations for the older ones are Goldfinger, Thunderball, The spy who loved me, For your eyes only, Licence to kill, Goldeneye and The world is not enough.
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger", the two Timothy Dalton, "Goldeneye" and "Skyfall" for the best Bond !
Wrong.
I haven't seen many people react to GoldenEye, and that is Pierce Brosnans best (imo). It's got a good story, it's funny, the bond girl isn't just for show, it's got a compelling villain and henchman, and there are several stunts in it that are mind-blowingly epic.
Straight up the Film that Bond back after a 7/8yr absence Love Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough, I wished he'd of done 2 more Knowing Brosnan he would have done 100 lol
What’s crazy is the lady who played Natalya still looks amazing.
And an amazing videogame!
As to the nice car, an Aston Martin is the traditional car for James Bond. They make very beautiful cars and his normally come equipped with spy extras from "Q" who is responsible for developing all bonds gadgets which you will see more of in future movies. Probably the iconic Bond Aston Martin was the DB5 from the movie Goldfinger (1965)
Sean Connery will always be my number 1 when it comes to James Bond actors. But starting off with the first Craig (my second favourite 007 actor) Bond isn't a bad idea either.
I give you my blessing. 😁
5:50 By the way this cobra is fighting a mongoose (mongooses are quick predators and equal opponents to snakes of even that size).
“I don’t know who he is. He’s someone’s brother.”
That is Felix Leitner, a agent for the American CIA, as implied in saying “a brother from Langley”; the CIA is located in Langley, Virginia, USA. His character frequently comes up in Bond films.
The old james bonds are like in one universe, one character but different actors. Daniel Craig's is like a reboot of James Bond's story, a stand alone series.
Sticking to just the 5 Craig Bond movies is a fine plan!
If you watch the older ones, you have to put your mind back to the 60's, 70's, 80's vibe and try to imagine what it was like to watch them back them. Don't compare them to modern movies. You will find them all enjoyable.
Unlike the other Bond movies, this is the first of a full story arc. Watch them all. Even the lesser ones in the sequence are very good. As you head towards the last one l recommend you also watch On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, because No Time to Die has references to it that - though not directly in the Craig arc - offers a kind of thematic riff on OHMSS. Cannot say more without spoilers.
You are correct about us Bond fans. We love everything about them, the amazing locations, action, witt, styles of clothing and watches and cars, the music!! You started with one of the best. We all have our favorites of course, but you will enjoy any of them, but may not fully understand by skipping around out of order. But I hope you continue with the series.
If I were to recommend one movie from each actor to get anyone into the series...
Sean Connery - From Russia With Love
George Lazenby - OHMSS
Roger Moore - The Spy Who Loved Me
Timothy Dalton - License To Kill
Pierce Brosnan - Goldeneye
The very best of each actor! I would also add For Your Eyes Only as Moore's tenure stretches beyond the 70s...
@@tylerjsmithers8385 yes! I'm biased since Moore is my favourite. But it's such an underrated Bond movie.
Eva Greene was incredible in Penny Dreadful all 3 seasons
I have a crush on Eva Green for years, since I've seen her on Camelot, but this series was cancelled after just one season, then I loved her on Penny Dreadful, she nailed it on that series.
Casino Royale is a good way to start. But I recommend you watch the old ones. This is the list I recommend
SEAN CONNERY (The first and the coolest)
1) DR. NO -- the very first.
2) FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (his best)
3) GOLDFINGER (sets the standard)
GEORGE LAZENBY
4) ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (the best Bond Novel)
ROGER MOORE (the most light hearted)
5) FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
6) THE SPY WHO LOVE ME
7) TO LIVE AND LET DIE
TIMOTHY DALTON
(His portrayal was the closest to the novels)
7) THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
8) LICENCE TO KILL
PEARCE BROSNAN (The modern Bond)
9) GOLDENEYE
10) TOMORROW NEVER DIES
DANIEL CRAIG (the REBOOT/The Toughest)
11) CASINO ROYALE (the very first Bond novel)
12) SKYFALL
13) SPECTRE
14) NO TIME TO DIE
There are other greats I may have missed but let a separate poll decide just for fun
Goldfinger 1964 - The first original James Bond character (and Daniel Craigs Bond character was modelled after Sean Connery, because the audience found the other Bonds too weak!), and especially: Gert Fröbe was an absolutely stunning, evil and interesting Bond villain, most probably the most iconic of all 26 movies, together with Donald Pleasance as Blofeld. I liked the Oscar-winnerJavier Bardem as Bond villain, but he did not reach this quality. And a character named Pussy (I will not spoiler the last name, who ever saw the movie can never forget THAT one) was something totally unique, especially at that time - still sooo entertaining. I mean, you can't beat that. Actually, nearly all names in this movie are pure gold. And one of these all-time classic one-liners comes up instantly to my mind. Maybe the best one ever, when James faced death, once again. And it's not even HIS line! The whole movie is gold.
Don't get me started on the iconic title song.
I am a bit shocked so few people recommended this one. It was a Bond movie that got an Oscar and recouped it's production costs in only 3 weeks (entry into the Guiness Book of Records).
MANY refer to it as the best Bond movie of ALL times. For a good reason. 99% on Rotten Tomatoes!
It recouped 40x it's production costs, has a really entertaining script, all of the greatest dangers that were available at that time and although it has a really hard Bond character who actually has this secret agent flair that many later Bonds didn't, it also has a good portion of humor. Quite THE Bond movie prototype.
Keep going with the Daniel Craig movies, they're good and tied together. My favorite of the older movies is Golden Eye.
Funny you think Golden Eye is older-lol. Dr. No and such are way older.
@@jamesdamiano8894 Goldeneye is an old movie tho, its almost 28 years old iirc.
You do know movies can be considered old, even if older movies exist, right?
@@Petrixxxxxxx Of course, but when talking about Bond it's not that old.
@@jamesdamiano8894 Didn't say it was the OLDEST, just OLDER than the Daniel Craig movies. Which is what she asked about.
@@jamesdamiano8894 Ahh moving the goalpost are we? Need help with that, you could easily move it further of you got my help.
Pierce Brosnon was the Bond I was first introduced to, with “GoldenEye” which is a must watch. Pierce did 4 movies as Bond and they’re all really good.
The first series with Sean Connery are all very dated but are all considered really good as well.
Unfortunately, Roger Moore was basically given the worst scripts to work with. Stay away from “Diamonds Are Forever”, “MoonRaker”, “Live and Let Die”, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, and “A View To A Kill”.
“Casino Royale” was the 1st book, and the 1st appearance of Daniel Craig, which was actually done as a Reboot to the Series, as if Bond had just been given his Double 00 status, and this was his 1st Adventure.
6:45 that guy is one of the creators of parkour. Seriously.
Daniel Craig is my favorite James Bond ! ... also ... "Skyfall" is worth watching ...
Dear Blue, it's difficult to pick just one Bond film. You might enjoy seeing one Bond film from each decade. But my personal favorite is ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969). Great reaction.
Should watch OHMSS before No Time To Die as it's referenced in NTTD
Yep people give GL loads of crap but I think he was good and OHMSS is my favourite Bond film too 😊
done playing with legos XD. I loved your No Country For Old Men reaction
April 13, 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of the first James Bond novel, *Casino Royale* 🇬🇧🍸♠️♥️♣️♦️
Watching reactors watch Bond films out of sequence is like watching a puppy watching card tricks and trying to figure them out.
Watch the direct sequel to this next, Quantum of Solace. The fact that is starts IMMEDIATELY where this one ended should be reason enough to watch it more so than other films being more interesting or better. After you finish the Daniel Craig bonds, start at the begining with Dr. No for the Sean Connery films.
After this are Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, SPECTRE and No Time to Die. The other actors to play James Bond are Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. The character and movies were adapted from the Ian Fleming novels
Daniel Craig was one of many Star Wars fans willing to do an un-credited cameo in a Star Wars film. In SW ep.7 'The Force Awakens', he was the Storm Trooper that Rey practiced her Jedi mind trick on in order to escape the torture room.
Roger Moore was James Bond when I grew up. He was the lighter, funnier, Bond and I found his movies so much fun to watch. I believe he started with LIVE AND LET DIE !1973), THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974), my two favorite of all Bond films THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977), and MOONRAKER (1979) which starred one of the best villains of all time, the 7'2" tall Richard Kiel as 'Jaws'. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981) had one of the most entertaining car chases ever filmed and OCTOPUSSY (1983) had some amazing stunts. I believe that A VIEW TO A KILL (1985) I was Roger Moore's last stint as '007' and was filmed in San Francisco. He also had the coolest gadgets and cars, most famously the Lotus Esprit 'submarine' in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME.
Some Bond films that stand above the rest: Goldfinger, Goldeneye, The Spy Who Loved Me, and The Living Daylights. One from each of the other Bonds.
I’m so glad Bond movies are finally hitting the reaction channels 😊
One of my favorite movies of all time. Honestly probably one of the most brutal PG-13 movies
You should watch all of the five Craig movies because they tell a continuous story, so if you skip some you will be quite confused.
Casino Royale is the best of the Craig films. Beyond this, watch the first three each by Sean Connery and Roger Moore as well as the two by Timothy Dalton.
Top 5 Bond movies (chronologically): Goldfinger, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Spy Who Loved Me, Casino Royale. You've done one already!
No broken ribs in chase scene: good fall technique. Takes the brunt of the fall on the shoulder and rolls out. 100% brilliant. It’s one of the best chase scenes in all of Bond history.
fun fact: the cia agent that bankrolls bond after he loses mi6's money (jeffrey wright) is james gordon from matt reeves' "the batman" and the voice of the watcher from marvel's "what if...?" series.
Not to mention Bernard from Westworld
The winning two cards Bond had was a hommage: the 7 card for obvious reasons, the 5 card for the preceding 5 Bond actors.
"I'm the money!" "And every penny of it!"
Fun fact, my grandma's sister played in this movie. She's the professional card dealer from the first poker game. 🖤
Craig’s dark loner portrayal, as well as his physical skill make him believable that he has a license to kill, just like the Bond in the books.
Yes Craig is my favorite Bond. Craig and Dalton come closet to as written by Fleming.
@@carlanderson7618 I agree. Dalton should’ve been the Bond in the 80s. Too bad he only did two. He immediately made it known that he wasn’t the (real life pacifist) Moore was. There was humor, but not like some of the cringy type Moore had. The Living Daylights is one of my favorites.
Starting with the Daniel Craig movies is a reasonable way to start. It's the only clear "restart" they've ever done, and the 5 movies he made have more continuity through them (though slightly less so in Quantum of Solace) than really any of the other Bonds. Of the older ones, though, I have to give a nod to Goldfinger, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, Goldeneye, and Never Say Never Again (the "unofficial" remake of Thunderball).
You made a great decision. All the Daniel Craig movies are linked so it's important to see those in sequence. And don't let anyone or any website decide what to like for you.
Glad to see your reaction to Casino Royale. I would love to see you continue with the Daniel Craig films, as well as the other Bond films. Some are better than others. I would definitely put On Her Majesty's Secret Service from 1969 on your list of Bond films to watch. I recently got a new book called Being Bond that is a retrospective look at Daniel Craig's time as James Bond now that he has left the role. Very interesting book. And this past Friday I bought a new three-record set on vinyl with all the James Bond theme songs, from Dr. No in 1962 to Craig's last film, No Time To Die. It was great to listen to.
Hi Blue. DID YOU KNOW: the scene where the Aston Martin crashed and tumbled. That set a WORLD RECORD for the most barrel rolls in a car crash at 6 Barrel Rolls. And that very Aston Martin that performed the crash sits in a museum to this day.
Each Bond movie is an event too, it's not just a movie. A LOT is expected of a new Bond movie. They need to be doing action sequences that push the boundaries of what's possible at the time. Each one is a major tent pole movie where the studio expects to make bank from big ticket sales, repeat viewings, DVD sales etc. Each one has it's own Bond girls, gadgets, cars, and a commissioned theme tune that's released and marketed as a single, with a tie in music video etc. I think it was the Bond movies that started the trend of the huge explosive pre-title action sequence. Before that, movies always started with the titles and or credits showing you who you were about to see.
In regard of the titles, Star Wars was an exception. Back then, they had to get a special permission from (I think) the actors guild, to be able to show no beginning titles at all, only the „A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…“, „STAR WARS“, and the text crawl.
Just a general info note on the Bond movies and their order. Daniel Craig's movies are in chronological order. The first few Bond films also have a certain storyline order. Most of the middle ones can be seen in any order.
The Daniel Craig Bond movies have a continuing story to them, so it would probably be best to watch them in order. Most of the other Bond movies are non-serialized, with each movie essentially being its own standalone story with little in the way of story continuity from film to film. They would even recast Bond four or five times across the series, and there isn't much acknowledgment of it and it has no bearing to the plot. But Daniel Craig's casting was an intentional restart for the series, as he's meant to be a younger Bond on his very first mission as a Double-0 agent.
Casino Royale was a reboot for the franchise. After 20 or so Bond movies, formula had set it (Bond is sent in to stop some cartoonishly evil villain from enacting a plan of world domination) and had become increasingly absurd in its set pieces (at one point, Bond drives an invisible car and surfs on a tsunami.) So inspired by Batman Begins, they decided to bring Bond back to a more grounded, realistic tone with Casino Royale.
I watched all 36 Godzilla movies chronologically recently😂
Daniel Craig insisted on doing most of his stuntwork. In that opening chase scene at the construction site, Craig actually lost the tip of one of his fingers.
I can't believe its been 17 years. I really loved this movie. The first bond movie I bought (not seen). Of which i own; this and spectre.
The Vesper Martini that Bond orders (3 gin 1 vodka 1 Kina Lillet ?) is the only martini drink actually mentioned in the book. Lots of scotch is mentioned but only that mix. The Vodka Martini in the early films was a tip to early sponsoring by Smirnoff.
You were spot on about how every single James Bonde film has a "Bonde Girl" that he becomes romantic with, however this run of Bonde with Daniel Craig is almost like a soft reboot of James Bonde. So this is one of his first ever missions and he truly fell in love with the girl, but his love for her and hers for him cost her, her life and sort of fucked over the Agency. So I think the idea is, when "M" said "You've learned your lesson" that was to never fall in love.. hence forth, Bonde will be charming and have flings with the ladies but never truly give them his heart.
If you want to check out older ones I recommend Goldeneye from 1995-a lot of people's first James Bond, also considered one of the best and well representative of the series as a whole. If you want to watch an older one, try On Her Majesty's Secret Service, arugably the best of the 60s Bonds and one Craig movies take a lot from. And maybe Moonraker or Die Another Day, which are NOT among the best, but are hilarious and absolutely worth seeing to know just how fucking BONKERS this series got (that Craig's take is contrasting).
Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, and You Only Live Twice are absolute classics. Personally, I loved For Your Eyes Only and Goldeneye, and most of the Daniel Craig films. But everyone has their own opinions.
My favorite ones are
Sean Connery: Dr No, Goldfinger, Thunderball, From Russia With Love, Diamonds are Forever
Daniel Crag: Casino Royale, Skyfall
Roger Moore: The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, Live and Let Die, Moonraker
Pierce Brosnan: Goldeneye
Timothy Dalton: The Living Daylights, Licence to Kill
George Lazenby: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
the car did like 8 barrell turns and remained in one piece, a Guinness record!
Well done on knowing defibrillate. Stellar!
In the fight between the cobra vs the mongoose..the mongoose wins between 75% to 80% of the time..but not always..due to it's quickness, thick fur, and it's ability to withstand mild doses of venom..
It makes sense that you would watch the Daniel Craig 007 films because the franchise did a total reboot, starting with Daniel Craig's 007 Casino Royale.
Daniel Craig is also the latest James Bond. All the other 007 Bond films are a continuation of the adventure from the previous film. But you don't necessarily have to know all the previous movies if you just jumped into one. They are each well enough as a stand-alone movie. Sean Connery was the 1st Bond. Then George Lazenby. The torch was then handed to Roger Moore. Then Timothy Daltan. Note that there are references to previous Bond films about a former Bond actor despite having a different actor playing the current role.
For example, Timothy Daltan, as 007 in License to Kill, had a reference that James Bond was previously married. We know that was referring to 007 played by George Lazenby in, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. We didn't see Timothy Daltan marry. We saw George Lazenby. But because they are the same character, your mind suspends belief and you just accept that Timothy Daltan's 007 experienced that marriage.
It is a bit tricky because each actor has their own spin on how they portray their 007 character.
Anyway, after Timothy Daltan was Pierce Brosnan. Then Daniel Craig. The latest. I remember watching Casino Royale in the theaters. This is one of my favorite 007 Bond films. For sure. So, you chose well to start with this film. -OG
Golden Eye is a fav.
I am one of those who feels seeing them "more or less" in order is a good thing. For the most part each movie is self contained, but there are some carry through.
That said this is almost a reboot, where fans can catch nods to the original, but they also cater to new/first time watchers. I'm a fan from... way back I've seen them all but not quite in chronological order. I wasn't around when the first ones came out but... I started watching Bond in the Sean Connery and Roger Moore days.
Watch "some" old ones before you go to far so you catch a few more of the call backs.
I think people like the James Bond they grew up with. The top two is Sean Connery, and Roger Moore. The films they did where the classics.
That car crash was actually the most rolls any car has made in a movie!
You should watch one movie from each of the actors who played Bond, then whatever version you like best, watch the rest of the movies they did.
Yeah you’re right. There are so many which to choose from. The nice thing about James Bond Movies is they are a journey through time. There is the thematic aspect which all of us original Bond fans recognise. A thrilling intro, a beautiful First Lady (like yourself) and an entertaining and fanciful progression which so perfectly emphasises and the character of he time!… As far as old school bond I would imaging “A Man With The Golden Gun” would receive allot if votes. Thanks for the awesome reactions!
I'm so happy to see more James Bond reactions on RUclips lately and this was great. :) I loved the surprise when Vesper turned out to be a bad guy. It's definitely understandable to not react to every James Bond movie but I'd love to see a reaction to GoldenEye (1995).
She wasn't exactly bad per say. Yes she did lie to James but in the end she was willing to give up the money to save his life
The Bond movies are usually divided up by actor, but each "era" also usually comes with its own tone and level, from light comedy through to serious grit. The Daniel Craig ones are as a whole probably the darkest and most earnest ones, then Timothy Dalton, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby, and the Roger Moore movies of the 70s and early 80s were often bordering on ridiculous with how cheesy and clownish they were. My recommended choice from each actor's selection is thus:
Connery - Goldfinger (1964), the archetype that introduced so much of the Bond formula for decades to come
Lazenby - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), his only Bond film
Moore - The Man with the Golden Gun (1973), probably one of the weakest movies apart from Christopher Lee playing a fantastic villain, worth seeing for the sheer contrast
Dalton - Licence to Kill (1989), the only one to receive a 15+ rating in the UK, very gritty and realistic
Brosnan - GoldenEye (1995), which also inspired one of the greatest movie-to-videogame conversions of all time for the Nintendo 64
And you've just seen what would've been my recommendation for Craig. Hope you enjoy whichever ones are picked for you!
Pierce Brosnan was our Bond growing up, GoldenEye was apart of our lives. I was extremely apprehensive about Daniel Craig as 007, but it was a gamble that paid off. He took the character into a darker direction.
Goldeneye def a classic for some of the middle aged bonds. I agree!
Sean Connery ones: Goldfinger, Russia w Love and Thunderball. Roger Moore: Spy who loved me and Moonraker. Pierce Brosnan: Golden eye: Dan Craig: all
That crash with Vesper in the street actually broke a world record.
Their are actually 27 Bond movies. 25 are Eon films and 2 that are non Eon film. One of the non Eon film is also called Casino Royale it's a Bond spoof film. The other non Eon film is called Never Say Never Again it's an adaptation of Thunderball
My advice for someone new to Bond, is that you've started in a good spot. Previously Bond movies weren't really connected, apart from the odd part here and there, so there's no need to watch them all, or in order. You're not missing anything. The Daniel Craig era was the response to the Bourne movies. Bond was getting very stale, and Bourne injected a whole new action focus. The Daniel Craig era does carry a story over multiple movies, so it IS worth watching in order.
It is worth watching some older Bond movies, because it defined the action / spy genre. If you want an oddball Bond movie, check out the original 1967 Casino Royale. Ian Fleming wrote Casino Royale as the first Bond novel, and sold the movie rights to a company who sat on them. He then wrote Dr No, and sold it to a different company. They cast Sean Connery, and started the whole Bond franchise with Dr No. The owners of Casino Royale wanted to cash in on their property, so they made the 1967 movie, but they only had the rights to the novel, not the interpretations of the characters etc. It fit's into that "it's so bad, it's good" category. Some 40 odd years later, the Official Bond franchise owners get the rights for the Casino Royale novel, and THIS is the result.
Each Bond movie was a reflection of it's time, in how it treats women etc. It's a refection of the backdrop. Most of the 60's and 70's Bond movies had the Cold War as the backdrop. Some are more grounded and serious, some are sillier. Each new Bond actor was intended to be there for a number of movies. The one that didn't work out, was George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, who it was deemed that he was cast way above his ability, and only had one Bond movie.
As to which Bond movies, I'd suggest a poll for your Patrons to get two of each Bond. Two Sean Connery's, two Roger Moore's etc. Make sure you do all the Daniel Craig's in order, because it's one connected story. Before that, think of Bond as a new story with the same characters, sometimes played by different actors. You'll get to know the recurring characters, like Felix Lighter of the CIA, as Bond's occasional ally, and "brother from across the pond". Dr No is the movie that started EVERYTHING. It was what set the tone for the franchise. Arguably, you need to watch Dr No, even it it's not one of your Sean Connery picks.
They were also a reflection of what the public was used to too. Movies based on comic books with super villains were very campy, and OTT. I believe Iron Man was the first to go the more grounded and realistic route. Oh yeah, and if you haven't checked out the Bourne movies, you're missing out. They're AMAZING.
Guy in first scene is well-known as a parkour master
You should start with Dr. No, Sean Connery from 62. After that, From Russia With Love, which is my personal favorite, then Goldfinger, which is widely considered one of the best.
I'd say continue with the Daniel Criag ones as they continue off each other and he's the recent guy to play the character, then move to the Originals and Start with Dr No all the way to Die Another Day! I particularly love Sir Rodger Moore as Bond as I've met him a few times as he lived near me when he was alive and he was always such a charming gentleman who always talked to fans about his work and never acted like a bigwig film star!
Eva Green is not on House of the Dragon, adult Alicent Hightower is played by Olivia Cooke.
“Is the fastest human Usain Bolt??” We are talking about a truck full of gas going in reverse. Yes Bond could catch up to it. This film actually takes the time to consider what’s physically possible. Yes the action is exaggerated but compared to a John Wick or a fast and furious this is a documentary Trixie!
Great Reaction video. I've loved the Bond movies for years ... yeah I'm old.🤣
The chase scene starting from 6:23 ... that's parcour and is a real sport
Pacour was founded by Raymond Belle, his son David Belle (who is Mainactor of the District B13 movies and the american reboot Brickmansion) and some others, including Sébastien Foucan, who playes the bad guy in this chase scene.
Casino Royale made Parcour Mainstream/Popular for the world but in Europe, the two pacour action movies District B13 movies starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli were released some years earlier and made parcour popular before.
The Daniel Craig Bond movies are the best ones for me and Daniel Craig is the best Bond actor for me too
Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies from the Pierce Brosnan era of James Bond.
Of the 007 Daniel Craig films, my favorites are the first two. Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace. -OG
Honestly the only other DC Bond film i enjoy watching and know for a fact is worthwhile would be Skyfall. From Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan there’s not many lousy movies within the 007 franchise but I’m sure that you’ll be able to appreciate and enjoy watching most if not some of these Bond movies. 🎬🎥👊🏻🔫
The guy Bond is chasing on the crane etc is a free runner called Sebastien. Free runners take some pretty big drops on their knees. Some say Seb started it all but I think Jackie Chan was the original free runner.
Craigs Bond is not a bad choice to start with. Just be aware that the old Bonds are pretty different. They always followe the "Zeitgeist" to some degree, but with Craig they made a pretty big switch. It's a more serious and modern approach that probably makes it easier to get into the franchise. So you didn't really saw what the "classic"Bond trademark style really is.
My recommendations to get the essence of all periods and actors would be "Goldfinger" + "From Russia With Love" (with Connery), "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (with Lazenby - a must see in the franchise for one reason I can't spoiler), "The Man With The Golden Gun" + "Moonraker" (with Moore), "Licence To Kill" (with Dalton) and "Goldeneye" with Brosnan.
Add in The Spy Who Loved Me as Moonraker has some continuity with it. And TSWLM has what is often voted as the greatest opening scene. It's also got a cool car.
And watch OHMSS before No Time To Die
All the Bond movies are great in my opinion. The men that play Bond bring something different to each film the one thing that never changes no matter who the villain is that specter is always in control behind the scenes.
You're right. There are so many of them, and it is a lot to take on. I think for someone your age, who's new to it, it's alright to just follow along with the Daniel Craig ones. When he started, he always kind of had a slightly different vibe than the traditional James Bond, and if anything, they're actually a little more serious, but I think he's done well.
You kind of have to understand that the Bond movies were always a little campy, and even sometimes a little cheesey. Some more than others, but that was kind of the fun of it. They always were very fantastical. For me though, Sean Connery was always the standard to follow.
He was the original, but mainly for me, Sean Connery was always just the coolest mother F'er on the planet. Young and Old. Bond and post Bond. Maybe that's based off a much more old fashioned mentality than you have, but what can I say? The dude just had it! In my mind, at 80 years old and bald, I imagine that he could walk into any room full of people, and all eyes would be on him. The man was a pimp!You saw him as Indie's father in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". You should also check out the unrelated "The Hunt For Red October" by the way, but I think you should check out at least one Sean Connery James Bond flick just to see him young for yourself. "From Russia With Love" or "Goldfinger" are usually the most popular ones.
At one point Sean Connery didn't want to do any more Bond movies, and they got George Lazenby, who was an Australian male model that kind of conned his way into the part. There was a pretty cool documentary about it a while a go, but he basically got lucky in landing the role, did one movie, but was kind of over it immediately, and wouldn't play ball. He seems like a pretty cool guy in real life, but I honestly can't remember if I ever saw that one, and then Sean Connery came back to the role for a while longer.
After Sean Connery left for good, Roger Moore took over for a long time. The Roger Moore Bond flicks were kind of a little more outlandish at times, but that's kind of what made them really fun sometimes too. I like Roger Moore, but I never thought he was ever as good looking and smooth as Sean Connery was. In fact, I always thought in those movies it was borderline cringy how aggressive he was with the ladies. I mean, he's Bond, so I never took it that seriously because the women are supposed to be into him, but there were times where I thought to myself, "Damn. You know if he wasn't James Bond I might think this is a little creepy." I might be exaggerating, and I found it more funny than anything else, but he just wasn't quite as cool as Sean Connery.
In the 80s when I was a kid, there was a couple movies with Timothy Dalton taking over the role. I can't remember if you reacted to "Hot Fuzz", but he was the Supermarche owner. It's been a long time, but I remember them being pretty good. I like Timothy Dalton, but again, he just didn't pull it off quite as cool as I would've thought it should be.
Now, Pierce Brosnan is a different story! In the 80s, he had a successful TV show here in America, and way before he ever was Bond, when I first saw him my immediate thought was, "That dude tottaly looks like James Bond!". Turns out, I think at that time they did actually want him to be Bond, but he couldn't do it due to his contract with the TV show, and I think they went with Timothy Dalton instead because of it, but of course it did eventually happen. This is all just my opinion by the way, but I feel like Pierce Brosnan was the first one to really have the looks and charm to pull off James Bond, at least the way I think about James Bond, since Sean Connery.
I think Daniel Craig does have his own look and charisma that he brought to the role, but it's just in a little bit of a different way. You should check out some of his other stuff, if you haven't already. "Defiance" is a really good one. Also "Munich", which he doesn't play as big of a role in, but I mention just because it's a good flick in general that you should see.
He's been pretty over doing 007 for a while now though, and probably rightfully so. After the last few he always says he's done, but they kept managing to pull him back in. I'm almost certain the last one was it, though. I mean, it's not a guess. That is the word on the street, and I believe it's official.
So, no one's leaving the Bond money train lying on the table after decades of success! There will be another one. Soonish maybe. There's always rumors and scuttlebutt flying around that usually has people losing their F'ing minds in anger. The thing that has everyone so pissed off now is that it totally seems to be that going forward, James Bond is being replaced by a black woman 007. People are so angry! I don't care. I'm game to see how it works out. I mean, why not. In one of the Roger Moore one's (SPOILER ALERT) the bad guys are going to destroy humans from their space station where they're recreating a superior human species, and James Bond goes into space to stop them! So, let's not be so precious about it. Is it really so unbelievable to some people that a black woman could be 007? Whatever. It's just a movie, and one that's supposed to be fun. Get over it!
In a way you picked one of the best ones to start with, because as you will gather this is a kind of prequel held in today’s era
Sean Connery is the definitive James Bond. He set the standard for the rest. If you only watch one of his, Goldfinger. Skip Moore and Brosnan.
I suggest Goldfinger. The first world-wide James Bond hit.
My favorite is the only George Lazenby film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Mostly because of the different direction it took. If you watch it, watch For Your Eyes Only after it.
To Bonds defence the truck really slows down after that 180 turn, so I don’t belive the truck is moving very fast at that point! I think it’s possible to catch up 😊
36:22 "its not very smart though". lol, well it looks like the filmmakers did their job in creating a scenario where Bond looks like he outplayed La Chiffre. But in actuality there's so many wonky things about that hand that its not even worth trying determine what La Chiffre should have done in that situation.
For one thing, based on the chips that were pushed into the pot, there should have only been 108.5 million in the pot, not the 150 that Mathis says. But based on the movie's script there should be 150 million in the pot. So that throws into question what kind of odds La Chiffre was getting to call Bond's all in right off the bat.
Secondly, the set up of that hand is an EXTREMELY rare scenario. The odds of getting a straight flush are about 3600 to 1, so Bond having that hand is a super rare situation to start off with. Then when you figure that he has that hand and 3 other players are in the hand with him at the end, and all 3 also have big hands, we're talking about a super ideal goldilocks set up that they wrote in there for Bond. Pros that play all the time can probably count on their hands the amount of times they've been in situations like that in their life. That's how rare it is.
Finally, there are only 2 other hands that beat La Chiffre's hand at that point. The super rare straight flush nuts (nuts = highest possible hand in a round) and A8. The first is very very unlikely on its own. The latter is already somewhat unlikely given that Chiffre has A6 and there's two Aces on the board, so Bond would have to have the last Ace in the deck to have that hand. Also, given the actions of the players before him, La Chiffre can also guess that one of those players is likely to have pocket 88s, making the A8 super unlikely as Bond would then need both the last A and last 8 in the deck.
So there's really no reason for La Chiffre to be worried about Bond's hand at that point. Short of seeing Bond's hole cards, La Chiffre should make that call any day of the week. Because the amount of times he's going to lose in that situation is so rare compared to the amount of times he'll win making that call. So folding there is basically like walking away from money. It just so happens that Bond's plot armor put La Chiffre into a terrible trapt position to take all his money :D
