Title: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: zombie no.one on March 10, 2023, 10:07:43 AM A thread dedicated to the films starring James Bond actors, that were made / released during their active tenure as Bond… (because apparently being the world’s #1 superspy wasn’t paying the bills?)
Interested to know how many of these you guys have seen. I did this just by trawling thru IMDb, and I’m surprised at how many of these I’ve never even heard of, let alone never watched NB: George Lazenby not included because he literally couldn’t do anything ‘in between’ his 1 Bond appearance SEAN CONNERY (1962 - 1971) WOMAN OF STRAW (1964) MARNIE (1964) THE HILL (1965) A NEW WORLD (1966) uncredited A FINE MADNESS (1966) SHALAKO (1968) MALE OF THE SPECIES (1969) TV Movie THE RED TENT (1969) THE MOLLY MAGUIRES (1970) THE ANDERSON TAPES (1971) ROGER MOORE (1973 - 1985) GOLD (1974) THAT LUCKY TOUCH (1975) THE SICILIAN CROSS (1976) SHOUT AT THE DEVIL (1976) SHERLOCK HOLMES IN NEW YORK (1976) TV movie THE WILD GEESE (1978) ESCAPE TO ATHENA (1979) NORTH SEA HIJACK (1980) THE SEA WOLVES (1980) LES SEDUCTEURS (1980) CANNONBALL RUN (1981) CURSE OF THE PINK PANTHER (1983) THE NAKED FACE (1984) TIMOTHY DALTON (1987 - 1989) HAWKS (1988) BRENDA STARR (1989) PIERCE BROSNAN (1995 - 2002) THE DISAPPEARANCE OF KEVIN JOHNSON (1996) THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (1996) MARS ATTACKS (1996) DANTE’S PEAK (1997) ROBINSON CRUSOE (1997) THE NEPHEW (1998) THE MAGIC SWORD: QUEST FOR CAMELOT (1998) voice THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1999) THE MATCH (1999) GREY OWL (1999) THE TAILOR OF PANAMA (2001) EVELYN (2002) DANIEL CRAIG (2006 - 2021) THE INVASION (2007) THE GOLDEN COMPASS (2007) FLASHBACKS OF A FOOL (2008) HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE (2008) uncredited DEFIANCE (2008) COWBOYS & ALIENS (2011) DREAM HOUSE (2011) ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN: SECRET OF THE UNICORN (2011) voice THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (2011) STAR WARS EPISODE VII: THE FORCE AWAKENS (2015) uncredited LOGAN LUCKY (2017) KINGS (2017) KNIVES OUT (2019) Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: Trevor on March 10, 2023, 10:30:36 AM Sir Roger Moore made several films here - Gold, Shout At The Devil and The Wild Geese - which made him very popular locally in addition to his playing Bond.
The Sea Wolves was a real 💩 movie: a great book based on a real event and quite funny too. North Sea Hijack / Ffolkes was another very good film with Sir Roger as a woman hating, cat loving, whisky slurping, kilt wearing commando. Strange that his character dislikes women and then he gets saved by one 😆 Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: zombie no.one on March 10, 2023, 10:34:02 AM North Sea Hijack / Ffolkes was another very good film with Sir Roger as a woman hating, cat loving, whisky slurping, kilt wearing commando. Strange that his character dislikes women and then he gets saved by one 😆 One of the very few here that I’ve seen… cheesy. enjoyed it. In some ways his character in this is even more Bond than Bond :) Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: RCMerchant on March 10, 2023, 10:56:07 AM the HILL (1965) with Sean Connery is fantastic.
Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: zombie no.one on March 10, 2023, 11:30:20 AM the HILL (1965) with Sean Connery is fantastic. this one I’d not heard of… sounds a bit depressing, tons of glowing reviews on IMDb though. Noted! btw I know Connery returned to play Bond again in 83 with (highly underrated imo) NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, but I decided to treat 62-71 as his ‘Bond years’ for the sake of argument Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: RCMerchant on March 10, 2023, 11:39:50 AM Well, everyone loves ZARDOZ (1974), right? Right?
I know our old pal Menard didn't. He hated "f**king Zardoz!"

It is fantastic indeed: a great film. :cheers: Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: Trevor on March 10, 2023, 12:02:28 PM Sir Sean made another film which still makes me go :buggedout: and I've only ever seen it once and once was enough.

Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: RCMerchant on March 10, 2023, 06:36:55 PM George Lazenby. That poor guy. He got railroaded because he was a hippy. And his Bond movie sucked. Not because of him!
What about David Niven in CASINO ROYAL (1967)? :question: Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: Allhallowsday on March 10, 2023, 06:52:50 PM Well, everyone loves ZARDOZ (1974), right? Right? I know our old pal Menard didn't. He hated "f**king Zardoz!" (https://i.imgur.com/jzVBnvZ.gif) (https://lunapic.com) What I want to know is, why isn't NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN on the list? Then, ZARDOZ would be "between". :teddyr: Title: Re: 007+… when Bond went Moonlighting Post by: RCMerchant on March 10, 2023, 08:17:07 PM ^ yer right! And I don't know! :drink:

It did seem odd that Sir Sean came back for a Bond film even though Sir Roger was still making them. Only now have I learned that NSNA was a Bond movie produced outside of Eon, having its roots in an independent script which Fleming turned into Thunderball. This is fascinating!
