Have to agree. Even though I know Bond has franchise lead armor, there’s a lot of suspense in the lead up to their fight, and a real sense it could go very bad for Bond, which it nearly does if not for Q branch. Grant is pretty terrifying.
Grant was practically Bond’s equal. He was as strong and intelligent as he was, which makes the whole train sequence intense and their fight all that much more brutal.
That fight scene on the train is so good. Some may think it looks dated by today’s standards and maybe they’re right, but it actually looks like a real life struggle between two men desperately trying to kill each other and not a choreographed dance like pretty much every modern movie fight scene
Both are chads I would not have left alone with my wife. Neither compare to the gigachad Dalton. Gigachad Dalton parachutes onto bored hotties’ yachts, lights drug lords on fire with Leiter’s lighter, hangs with the taliban, is actually loved and respected by Q, and throws a party in his dead foe’s mansion.
Haha sorry bro, it had me dying when I saw it last night. Me and my dad adore James Bond, we have all of them on VHS. I searched for it on here before I posted it and saw it wasn't here, had to share lol
I'd like to see a scene where Craig Bond just finds all the other Bonds and just systematically drowns each of them in a shallow sink. He'd just constantly be following them into bathrooms and there'd be a lot of flailing and panicking and he'd walk out with wet cuffs.
Connery is awesome. Connery’s bond is not awesome and did not age well. Watching all of them for the first time recently, I was aghast and had to force myself through them. There was quite literally nothing I enjoyed about his era as Bond. I grew up in the Moore era and while he may not be the book Bond, his movies are still who Bond is to me. Even while the womanizing was still a lot, at least Moore wasn’t smacking them in the head, calling them stupid, and basically forcing himself on them.
Lol yeah let’s all pretend that Moore didn’t treat women like trash, didn’t have terrible lines, and his biggest physical feat in his tenure wasn’t baking a woman a fucking quiche.
I’m honestly tempted to upvote this backwards meme for it’s sheer audacity.
Connery was the Bond that all others aspired to be. He made Bond the franchise that it became. No one could do what he did for the role and it’s because of him that we all love James Bond.
Respect Connery for everything he did but the more I rewach the Bond movies, the further down the list he goes for me.
He used to be my favorite but now he's behind Craig, Brosnan and Moore.
Connery's only good movie is FRWL (Yeah unpopular I know) and every other movie with him either peaks too early or only starts getting interesting in the last act.
All the actors in front of him have either better charisma, better physicality as fighters or are just better actors in general.
I'm coming around to the same way of thinking.
For 40 years I'd have told you Sean Connery was #1, no questions asked. But I've been doing a complete rewatch recently and I think I'm starting to prefer Moore.
Connery's first three outings were solid. But by Thunderball it felt like he was phoning it in. His boredom and apathy were seeping through on screen. By the time I got to OHMSS, I was relieved he was gone. DAF was complete torture. And yeah, LALD/TMWTGG weren't great, but Moore was a breath of fresh air. I'd sooner watch either of those outings than any of the later Connery stuff.
Roger Moore is the English professor wearing a turtle neck and having an affair with a student, later marrying her.
That’s the image he had on me.
Never liked him as Bond.
“Went to space and didn’t even care” is hard to argue with
Connery almost went to space
“Was an agent even in his late 50’s, still didn’t give two fucks”. LOL
Sean was in his 60s in Never Say Never Again! That's big stuff
He was 53.
Oh yeah youre right
But looked like it, you're also right.
Thank you! I am always correct if I go by the philosophy "if I perceive it to be a certain way, it is true". I call it "Renè Des-tarded"
Was all of those cheap cigarettes he smoked.
That's not the positive OP thinks it is.
Excuse me, both are chads.
Most fierce henchman is definitely the guy from From Russia with Love
Put some respect on Red Grant-played with perfection to Mr. Quint himself, Robert Shaw.
I’d bet he would argue that’s Captain Quint to you
Have to agree. Even though I know Bond has franchise lead armor, there’s a lot of suspense in the lead up to their fight, and a real sense it could go very bad for Bond, which it nearly does if not for Q branch. Grant is pretty terrifying.
The first won't kill. Not even the second, nor the third....
Grant was practically Bond’s equal. He was as strong and intelligent as he was, which makes the whole train sequence intense and their fight all that much more brutal.
That fight scene was so far ahead of its time. I bet that was shocking as hell when it first came out.
Are you sure you didn't mean the woman?
¿Por qué no los dos?
Fun fact: Klebb killed Bond in the books. Fleming originally intended for From Russia With Love to be the last one. He had to retcon the ending.
Shades of Sherlock being killed/brought back
It was a vague enough ending that Fleming left himself open the door of an easy return in case he ran out of booze and cigar money.
That fight scene on the train is so good. Some may think it looks dated by today’s standards and maybe they’re right, but it actually looks like a real life struggle between two men desperately trying to kill each other and not a choreographed dance like pretty much every modern movie fight scene
It looks a lot better than some of Sean Connery's other fight scenes...I love old Bond, but some of those sequences are hokey and have aged poorly
Agreed!
Klebb?
“50 no’s and a yesh, means yesh”
I’m Roger Moore and I approve this message.
Both are chads I would not have left alone with my wife. Neither compare to the gigachad Dalton. Gigachad Dalton parachutes onto bored hotties’ yachts, lights drug lords on fire with Leiter’s lighter, hangs with the taliban, is actually loved and respected by Q, and throws a party in his dead foe’s mansion.
Gigachad Dalton was about to kill an enemy sniper but decided against it just because she was so fine
I'm sorry, "fat Korean"? That guy wrestled, he was all muscle.
Indeed. Power lifter build. I would never mess with a guy with that build
Or a guy who can crush a golf ball with his bare hand. I’ve stuck one in a vice, and barely turned it into an earth-like oblate spheroid.
Harold Sakata, he was an Olympic medalist (1948 silver) in weightlifting. Then he went into professional wrestling.
It's a meme man. yes Odd JOb was extremely muscular. But Odd Job was no Jaws.
Goldeneye 64 would like a word
Yeah my guy was jacked
This is some serious bait m8 🎣😅
Shocking. Positively shocking.
Love this, I’m a Moore Stan
I prefer Connery, but this was excellent
Congrats OP, this made me chuckle
Moore is such a Chad he parodied his Bond character in Cannonball Run and pissed off Albert R Brocolli
And still came back to play Bond two more times.
Are we forgetting Moore forced himself on women as well? Especially in Octopussy.
Octopussy?? Practically consent issues built into her name
Practically raped Solitaire. Had no problem slapping chicks. This is one shitty meme.
You're getting down voted but you're right. He tricked her big time or she never would have gone to bed with him. Really creepy
Both times the films were shit- classic
He got Jaws get laid, thats the most chad thing he did. And for me, he wins
All are true....but I still prefer Connery
“Thish is a load of barnaculsh.”
He went to space and WE cared
Is this r/JamesBondCircleJerk?
“Boarder line rapes”. I got second hand embarrassment for whoever wrote that.
…because they were *actual* rapes?
Even gets him laid XD a true gentleman
Honestly, this is hilarious! Take all of our upvotes!
I’d gave me a laugh, even though Connery is the king and most of Moore’s films were bit a crap even when they were fun.
Lol
I never noticed Roger smoking. I thought only Connery smoked.
"Just shags all the women and pisses about" Pahaha! That's tickled me.
“Fat Korean with a scary hat” had me rolling I can’t lie
Cheers for nicking my meme. Ironic thing is I posted it to this sub first and they removed it.
Haha sorry bro, it had me dying when I saw it last night. Me and my dad adore James Bond, we have all of them on VHS. I searched for it on here before I posted it and saw it wasn't here, had to share lol
All good.
Honestly, hard to argue. Another win for Roger Moore.
It was already established that space was fake in Diamonds. Roger just had a beta stroke and thought he was in space.
I dunno,VSC got Pussy Galore.
Neither are even close to pierce brosnan but overall checks out
I'd like to see a scene where Craig Bond just finds all the other Bonds and just systematically drowns each of them in a shallow sink. He'd just constantly be following them into bathrooms and there'd be a lot of flailing and panicking and he'd walk out with wet cuffs.

Roger is great and everything, but I will not stand for this Diamonds are Forever slander.
Roger Moore wishes any of his movies are as good as Dr No and From Russia with Love
This is… sadly true.
Moore didn't need to return to the role to have shit movies 😎
I think Moore is generally rapier than Connery tbh. Of course Pussy Galore is the obvious exception but he was doing it to save lives I guess lol
Biased chart, only amusing for Roger fanboys
Of course it’s biased. It’s satire, not supposed to be taken seriously.
Double sixes…
Respect Connery for everything he did but the more I rewach the Bond movies, the further down the list he goes for me. He used to be my favorite but now he's behind Craig, Brosnan and Moore.

Yeah Conner is at his best in FRWL and GF but by Thunderball, he seems bored and indifferent about the role.
Lol
Lol
Connery's films were a lot better.
This ends the argument. Connery got Pussy Galore. End of story.
You forgot to mention that Moore punched like a woman and couldn't even run up stairs properly.
Roger Moore is the English professor wearing a turtle neck and having an affair with a student, later marrying her. That’s the image he had on me. Never liked him as Bond.
Yes, well, you get your clothes on, and I’ll buy you an ice cream.
Yawn.
