With his remaining hand, Moore reaches out and taps in his stuntan.
stuntman then smashes his fist over said enemy's face.
Moore/stuntman win.
CGI > Stuntmen
How would this fight be staged though? AVTAK Moore vs CR Craig is an amusing thought!
The only scenes where Lazenby had a stuntman were the skiing scenes. He didn t know how to ski.
Seriously though, I think Laz could take them all with one hand tied behind his back.
Neither Grant nor Odd Job were as physically imposing as Hinx; besides, Connery's Bond didn't defeat Odd Job physically--he couldn't. He used cunning.
Except for a bit of struggle with Greene, wielding an ax, DC's Bond never struggled with underwhelming opponents as the other Bonds did. For instance, Connery's Bond had his hands full with a pudgy drug smuggler in an elevator. DC would have taken out Peter Franks in 15 seconds or less. Just sayin'. ;)
But Odd Job was no Hinx, as characters go. But he written as so. I'd buy SC's Bond as a bigger bad@ss if he'd been able to at least hurt Odd Job...even a little bit. DC's Bond while overwhelmed by Hinx, got some licks in and inflicted some pain.
ooooh, I dunno...But that would be a great debate for a new thread!
All the henchmen in a fight. Who wins? Jaws is a candidate.
And Mr Wint would have eaten MrKidd
Mr Wint would do a lot of things to Mr Kidd :)) which I sadly can't say directly as this is a family friendly forum, or so they say.
If it's in a crowded place or in close quarters then I believe it's Moore or Connery. Both were 'smart' fighters using their surroundings to the best advantage.
I can see Craig coming at them both like a 'blunt instrument' and both would use something to put him off balance and then finish him off.
Dalton would first finish his stuntman off so he can make sure to have the fight himself.
That's not true. Lazenby could ski, but the producers would't allow him to ski due to the risk of injury and shutting down the movie.
Even Lazenby says: "I skied past the camera a few times. They wouldn’t allow me to ski but they’d allow me to do the fight scenes and hang on cables. I did most of it except the bobsled and the skiing which was great. A guy named Lucky Lightner did the skiing. He was amazing. He was an alcoholic. He couldn’t walk straight, but he could ski."
Good point about the bobsled scene. I forgot about that for a moment.
Actually, Dalton said it best. It doesn't matter whether the actor did it or the stuntman did it, the audience should believe "James Bond" did it. That's the thing with Lazenby as Bond: I could believe he could ski.
So what he's saying is, he's no Willy Bogner or Luggi Leitner, but he can definitely ski.
"Mr Director, what about the fight choreography?"
"Ah, just zoom out really far."
=))
I agree. As far as I know (and I could be wrong), they are the only two who had some training in either boxing or martial arts. Brosnan might have a chance. I saw him box someone in a "Remington Steele" episode. He looked as if he really knew what he was doing.
Come to think of it, my favorite on screen Bond fight was between Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean.
In his prime Connery would have destroyed Brosnan in a fist fight. Only Laz would come close.
Laz claimed in a recent interview that Connery wouldn't walk down a flight of steps without calling for his stuntman.
Roger is always underrated in these discussions. Apparently he was kind handy in a fight.
I remember reading a story about Roger accidentally punching a guy and that guy being shocked at the power of the hit. Don't know if this was on a Bond set, however.
