    In TND, when Bond and Wai Lin are washing and removing their handcuffs
    There's a kid having a bath in a basin. ( If that counts) ;)

    I would think in TND at least one of those explosions in the arms bazaar killed *someone*.

    Also there's no way the dude inspecting the diamonds in DAD didn't buy the farm.

    How many Bond films have the first kill (excluding the gun barrel) made by someone else than Bond?

    I'd agree, there's no way that guy survived. All that C4 + diamonds blowing up right in his face from just a few inches away? He's DOA.

    FRWL, YOLT, OHMSS, LALD, TMWTGG, MR, FYEO, TLD, LTK, GE, SF (AVTAK if you count the already dead agent Bond finds in the snow during the PTS).

    and DN I would think.

    Could you count QoS? That first Alfa Romeo gets smacked head-on by a large truck, and it looks crushed in enough that surely someone died. If not, there's also the two cops that get shot at and have their car flip down the side of the quarry numerous times.

    Films where Bond smokes:

    cigarette: DN, FRWL, GF, YOLT, OHMSS, TLD, LTK
    cigar: LALD, TMWTGG, DAD

    Did I miss one?
    It appears Craig is the first Bond we have never seen smoking at all.

    Moneypenny is an iconic character for sure. Fleming never gave her a first name, but author Weinberg did and called her JANE.
    In Skyfall she was named EVE.

    Lois Maxwell played her in Dr. No the first time and the last time in A View To A Kill which makes her the longest serving Moneypenny by far.
    14 films from 1962 to 1985.

    Caroline Bliss played her two times in both Timothy Dalton films. 1987-1989.

    Samantha Bond played her during the Brosnan-era from 1995-2002, four times.

    Naomie Harris played her two times so far in Skyfall and Spectre 2012-2015.

    I present you the Connery, Dalton and Brosnan era. @PropertyOfALady will present you the Moore, Lazenby and Craig era.
    @Murdock provides the fabulous collages.

    And here is everything you really didn't want to know about Moneypenny in the films.

    Woow definitely Samantha and Lois are my two favorite MoneyPenny but Lois from Dr No- Diamonds are forever.

    I prefer MoneyPenny flirting eith James thab being sort of a mother figure like she was with Roger Moore.

    Moneypenny from Never Say Never Again (Played by Pamela Salem): 17 seconds (Mi6 Office)


    Between 1.53 and 2.10.

    Or are there more moments of this Moneypenny, i can't remember.

    Remarkable, Lois Maxwell is so near and dear to all of our hearts and has played such a large impact on the series despite only being featured for just over 16 minutes. Meanwhile Harris has already been on the screen for 14 minutes.

    Would loved to have gotten number of words of dialogue per film, but appreciate the level of detail already provided here. My guess is that Harris has already surpassed Maxwell in dialogue.

    Well as much as I'm a defender of all things Dalton era; with the poor excuse of a Moneypenny we got can you blame them for giving her all of three lines?

    I'm actually a bit taken aback by how little screen-time poor Miss Moneypenny has had over the years across the James Bond films. For me though, Lois Maxwell is still indelible in the part.

    Yes I was also very surprised, I did the Dalton, Brosnan and Connery movies, PropertyOfALady the others and even with Samantha Bond I thought she's not around much, even if it feels not like that.

    The thing is Moneypenny is such a well written character for Bond that she doesn't need much to do to be a beloved icon and be remembered as an important part.

    Poor Caroline though wasn't treated right. Her LTK moment is laughable at best.

    Isn't the line in TSWLM 'all those feathers and he still can't fly', and shouldn't the actual feathers (from the matresses) be in the list as well?
