When I first watched Thunderball, when he was in the wetsuit- I thought he was wearing long pants. He wasn't. It was his leg hair.
That's pretty funny about the leg hair.
My girlfriend agrees with you actually! She says Connery is 'just OK' (and she hasn't even seen DAF yet!). She feels the same about Moore also-- but still likes all of their movies and finds them charming in their own ways. She told me that Dalton is the hottest! ;D
That said, I'd still kill to look like 'young' Connery
Whoa...that's the first time I've ever heard that said about Sean.
I agree about his performance in DAF...never saw anything wrong with YOLT myself, though I know a lot of people who are critical of it.
Connery is Bond God. End of. Even in DAF.....even in NSNA....
I can`t believe some people don`t like Goldfinger! It isn`t a favourite of mine either, but in no way do I dislike it.
Anyway I don't think there are really any who don't like connery. IMO he's not the best (dalton has earned that honour), but he's a close second along with brosnan. TB and NSNA (they're basically the same) are his best films.
I'm not a fan of Connery Bond in DAF, he's not playing James Bond. He's playing a smug Sean Connery with a few witty lines. The first really below par Bond film.
YOLT isn't much better, but at least he still retains his character portrayal of Bond.
Wasn't Ian dead by the time GF released??
There are some people who arent huge fans of Connery. Barryt007 for instance.
...and this bloke.
* Not to mention the obvious wig that refuses to remain the same colour throughout the film, and his all to noticeable weight gain.
It's sad looking at that pic and then DAF and realizing they're the same person....
Makes me want to go to the gym every day so it doesn't happen to me, lol
I agree with most on this chat regarding his performance in YOLT. In DAF he seemed to be having a good time but it was obvious that he had outgrown the role.
Just looks:
1 - Connery
2 - Moore
3 - Brosnan
4 - Lazenby
5 - Dalton
I left out DC, as he is obviously my No 1, but wanted to just judge the other 5.
Not forgetting the travesty that is NSNA!
But during his tenure, it wasn't all roses. Sure, Dr. No, FRWL, GF and TB are undisputed classics, and hard to find fault with Connery's portrayal.
But I think just about everyone here is in agreement with his final 3 - YOLT, DAF and NSNA, which are all fairly poor Bond films too.
Wow. Just wow. He hates Thunderball and want Connery to leave Bond alone....
Shocking. Positively shocking.
