Gotta love Moore’s impeccable Octopussy clown makeup
It truly boggles the mind how Bond managed to get his clown makeup that flawless so quickly and under pressure in Octopussy, but hey, commitment to the bit pays off. He strolls into the big top like the world’s most… Read More →

Commander Bond is familiar with a submarine
At first glance, it seems a bit absurd that Bond suddenly knows his way around a nuclear submarine in the final scene of The World Is Not Enough. But then you remember that it’s Commander Bond, thank you very much. … Read More →

I sure am, boy!
I’m not sure there’s another James Bond actor either past, present, or future who could deliver humor with the effortless charm of Roger Moore. Case in point: the car chase scene in The Man with the Golden Gun, with Bond… Read More →

Amazon removes Bond movie poster guns… *facepalm*
This might be the most spectacularly ill-advised idea I’ve encountered in the Bond universe in quite some time. A potential Jinx spin-off from Die Another Day is the only thing that comes close in sheer absurdity. Honestly, what were they… Read More →

DAF: Bond takes transatlantic cruise home
The final scene of Diamonds Are Forever takes place aboard a cruise ship as Bond sails back to the UK, which doesn’t seem like the best security protocol. Nothing says “secret agent” like sunbathing on the Lido deck after foiling… Read More →

Hold the presses! This just in!
