Bond's assignment to sit at the casino entrance
to register known villains and henchman on his left tally counter,
then potential, suspected adversaries on his right tally counter,
soon became unbearably tedious.
Largo's computer game Domination was alright.
But Bond would rather be playing Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong,
Centipede, Pitfall!, Night Driver, Space Invaders, Warlords, or Breakout.
Or Scrabble®.
In a free moment during filming,
Connery pretended he was Luke Skywalker
in the thrilling climax to Star Wars.
DAMN YOO TRUH-BEKK!!!
At times Connery drew on his experience as a milkman to assist playing a role.
And others, he might call up his tenure operating a digger.
@RichardTheBruce , I have to hand this one to you as well.
Here's another.
I never got to fight against Jaws, and I don't blame Roger for this!, I'm going to make my own version, oh, I also need my own version of Dolly!
Dalton didn't let the rejection of Whoopie Goldberg in a Bond Girl role
dampen his constant casting suggestions. [All rejected by EON.]
Fran Drescher's screen test for BOND 17
got Dalton fired and resulted in a
6 year pause for the franchise.
Almost killed it.
Both, speaking at the same time: So I heard you did an adult film...
The Origin of the Austin Powers Fembots
This is the Behind the scenes footage for a Third Dalton Bond film.
In this scene, he's with the female robot,
Director: "One, Two, Three, Action!"
Director: "Bond, you're going to make love with a Female robot before heading to Great Wall of China!"
(While holding the girl, Dalton speaks inside his mind), I have a good idea, what If I call you a fembot?
Dalton went to the stage to tell the director his idea.
Dalton as Bond: "Sir, what If we call them Fembots, it's seem to be quite fitting"
Director: "Oh, yes! What a Great idea!"
That director was revealed to be Mike Myers.
Tim: Of course not, Fran, I would never wear out that joke.
This is a winner. Would have worked even better with Connery.
Looking back at the publicity stills for BOND 17,
it was hard to tell who the cardboard cutout was.
All attempts by Kevin McClory to re-film Thunderball
simply proved it was not meant to be.
Kevin McClory's early attempts to film his WARHEAD 2000 project
were disrupted by George Lazenby's ribald off-camera comments.
(Shocking to Drescher. Dalton thought they were charming.)
Timothy Dalton was heartened by news of the Berlin Wall's demise and hopes for an end to the Cold War.
Fran Drescher worried about its effects on the Bond franchise, and the BOND 17 production going forward.
Timothy Dalton tactfully showed Fran Drescher
why she couldn't be cast in the next Bond film.
