  • Bonds life, is life and death wedded from the time he becomes mission active, he faces circumstances, which can be wholly unfair, even being a seasoned operative he doesn’t possess a foresight apart from the honed instinct of bitter experience. W…

  • If you have missed the film Triple Cross, then it worth the effort watch it; This film is loosely based on the real life story of Eddie Chapman, who escaped to Jersey and then in a dangerous deal with the Nazis, ended up masquerading as a spy in Gre…
  • The question is, are the villains lavished cats loyal to their masters, just using them or simply afraid of them? When things get a little out-of-hand and James Bond is looking to vanquish his adversary, the famous cats seem to abandon ship and s…
  • A world level arms dealer would not want his/her business to be decommissioned or even temporarily disrupted, partly due to their greed and ego, but more precisely their selfish lifestyle depends on it, so the bounty would be well into the tens of m…
  • Some dirty politics could flavour a new outing, with a group of politicians protecting and supplying information to a contact who presents themselves as a squeaky clean entrepreneur on the surface, but behind the scenes is a clandestine world level …
  • Bond has his personal taste in exquisite cars, but then he also at times needs to improvise when he finds himself needing to make a hasty escape or get somewhere in a hurry. Roger Moore had some fine moments in various cars, the Citroen 2CV, Re…

  • A few years back Sky were re-running the well known TV series "The Persuaders", I caught a few of them quite early on Saturday mornings, missed some, then decided to purchase and watch the box set. I enjoyed the series and thought if you can steel y…
  • James Bond’s charter is a complex mixture of elements; he has “metaphorically speaking” time traveled through the decades with politics, social adjustments, fashions, technology and a whole host of additional affecting factors. The actor’s change…

  • Some times an older villain is even more ominous and twisted, they have time riding against them and it has probably taken them to that point in their scheming lives to manoeuvre into a position where they can really start to manipulate the world in…
  • Wait for it, as this may sound like a wild card; Jean Reno could be a really sinister villain, possibly even a new version of Blofeld; he also has the espionage film background with films like Leon & Ronin to his credit.

  • Ian Fleming’s James Bond is a well known for being a product of his Second World War exploits, and with Britain facing, at that time a future of austerity, his character became the escape for many wishing to break through such a hard time. Ian Fl…
  • National Geographic quote "Iguanas' stout build gives them a clumsy look, but they are fast and agile on land". When these reptiles get an idea in head that they are not intending on staying around they can really move! This may be the reason for t…

  • Pierce Brosnan in "After the sunset" with Woody Harrison & (the female incentive to watch) Salma Hayek, for those that may have missed it, this is Pierce enjoying his James Bond past with some good humour.
  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: I really like Spy Game, @JRR. Robert Redford is convincing in his role with Brad Pitt; another old hand in another film worth the time is (Heist) with Gene Hackman & Danny DeVito or two more that come to mind a…
  • This series is getting interesting, Jim Caviezel has taken on other roles in films that are worth a look, Frequency, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Passion of the Christ and The Prisoner, just to mention a few. Older films also worth a look: Spy…

  • Bounty hunters are a motivating component to a story-line, as they would be working to their agenda and only for the hard cash, some will have very little principles and being hired to remove 007 as a distraction from the nemesis’s real aim, will le…
  • Just thinking back on a WW2 book I have recently read by Len Deighton "Goodbye Mickey Mouse"; if you like a well researched story within this genre, you might enjoy this.

  • Australia could easily be a viable location for Bond; here is an idea for the prospect…. If for example an actor like Guy Pearce could be cast as an old hand “Spook”, and Bond is in Australia to set-up a meeting with him to gather some intelligen…
  • A serious villain needs to be able to throw Bond out of his comfort zone and plague his confidence to a point where even his unfaltering ability to succeed is at some point self-doubted. The villain then appears to take the upper hand with a joyf…
  • James Bond is a character struggling with himself, his past, present, and the chance of a future; his worst enemy of all could be his conscience. The business he has committed his life to, the belief in standing up for what is right and he feels …
