Celebrating Bond's 50th Anniversary, let take a look at some of the rare clips and promos throughout Bond's history.

If you haven't seen already, heres an old clip of Roger Moore playing the role of 007 back in 1964.


"Sir Moore did this comedy scetch on a British school before taking the role in 1972. He was one of the first considered for 007 but was under contract with his tv show "The Saint" which was made into a movie with Val Kilmar back in the 1980's."

Please post your rare clips or promos here. (photos or videos) Can't wait to see what all we can come up with.

    @Sandy thanks, heres a few more I found worthy;

    "James Bond 007 Action Pak"


    "Sean Connery in Japanese ad of yogurt" -- you'll just die when you see this!! ROFL


    "Pierce Brosnan (Mastercard commercial )"


    "Some age others mature" -- Very odd commercial mixing old & new, a must watch.


    "Heineken James Bond Casino Royale Commercial" -- Although it's new, I'd never seen this Ad before.

    Here is a nice classic Bond, before the films.

    Ian Fleming's Casino Royale (1953) Pt1


    This is the first ever screen adaption of a Bond novel, made in 1953 for US TV. The hero is played by Barry Nelson (changed to Jimmy Bond of the CIA) and the villain is played by Peter Lorre (better known for the successful 'Mr Moto' movies). Because of this adaption, when Eon productions bought the rights to Fleming's Bond 007 in the 1960s, the couldn't get Casino Royale as part of the deal. This led to the 1967 spoof version being made, starring Peter Sellers and David Niven. Many years later, Kevin McClory had obtained the rights to Casino Royale for Sony Pictures, and intended to make his own version of it separate from Eon. However, after a large lawsuit, the rights finally went to Eon as part of an out of court settlement in 2000. Finally, Eon were able to give the novel the full movie treatment in their own version, starring Daniel Craig, a few years later.

    The first trailer of Die Another Day. What made it special for James Bond that don't have the tradional Bond voice, but '''B'' movie voice. Best thing of it be the cloud of Bond girls.

    Yeah, I thought it was very touching of Pierce to honor Sean.

    YES! Here are a couple of Bond commercials that have slipped by me over the years. Check them out!


    "From the James Bond 007 "Licence to Kill" original VHS tape. This played right before the movie. Little did Cleese know He'll be part of the 007 family 10 years later..."


    Love this next one.

    TV ad for Quantum of Solace in SONY HD...

    Just found these without looking, had to share.

    Woody Allen on "What's My Line?"

    From around the time "Casino Royale" was coming out. Tony Randall and Pamela Mason join the panel. (Watch the ending where they talk about Woody being the next Bond, haha)
