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

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 😆

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 :)

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

Well, everyone loves ZARDOZ (1974), right? Right?
I know our old pal Menard didn't. He hated "f**king Zardoz!"

Sir Sean made another film which still makes me go  Buggedout and I've only ever seen it once and once was enough.

I don't think very many people saw Timothy Dalton's turn in Brenda Starr with Brooke Shields -- if memory serves, the movie sat on the shelf for several years due to behind the scenes legal bickering, and by the time it finally did see the light of day, nobody cared.

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

What I want to know is,  why isn't NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN on the list?   Then, ZARDOZ would be "between". TeddyR

Funny, I saw Never Say Never Again in the cinema around the same year as Octop***y. 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!
