After George Lazenby quit as Bond, the producers had to work quickly to find a replacement. Sean Connery was the only man they could think of in the panic, and they gave him the golden deal to make him come back. $1,200,000 +12.5% of the profits, earning him at least $5,000,000 (approx $26 million in todays' money at least). So, back ... Read the complete review

Bond review #1 Taking inspiration from fellow dooyooers. I will attempt to work through the Bond catalogue, from Auric - Zorin (A-Z... did you see what I did there?). This will be inspirational based. I.e. it will take me many months to complete, and many months to draw enough inspiration to review the yawn-fest that is From Russia ... Read the complete review

1971 sees Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger) return to the series as director for Diamonds Are Forever. After it became apparent that George Lazenby wouldn't appear as 007 again, the search was on to fill the void. Many actors were tested but after much deliberation, the producers decided to go after Sean Connery again. They saw this film as a ... Read the complete review

The film which closed the Connery era is the film where humour took a strong hold and overpowered the feel of the movie. Connery is back for one last outing but looks tired as Bond and appears to be going through the motions. Diamond smuggling and out of space antics are the order of the day and the plot is fairly proficient and ... Read the complete review

After Sean Connery quit the role of James Bond, we saw George Lazenby give a performance as the agent in On Her Majesty's Secret Service that was true to Fgleming's literary character: hard hitting and vulnerable, with a bit of a mean streak. While this was good to see from a die hard fan's point of view, it proved less entertaining, and ... Read the complete review

After the disappointment of ‘On her Majesty’s secret service’, bond directors had to do something to interest 007 fans. First off was the return of James Bond legend- Sean Connery. The man everyone saw to be the ‘real Bond’. Surely this would make ‘Diamonds are forever’ a memorable film? ... Read the complete review

This sees Sean Connery the legend return in the most camp outing of the Bond series. It seems he had great fun making it and returned to his best form like in his early outings. This would have been okay as a one off Bond movie but unfortunately we had to endure 15 more years of this type of film with Roger Moore's tongue in cheek ... Read the complete review

Wholly pointless, deeply sadistic and totally daft Bondage, with a comically toupeed Connery declaring war on feminism and homosexuals and emerging with a smirk and (for the actor) a lot of money in his back pocket. For all Jill St John's sparky attempts to fire up her character, Tiffany Case, she spends more time baring flesh than ... Read the complete review

I must admit that I am a fan of Bond movies and with this one it’s no different. This movie really has two things going for it: an outstanding soundtrack and some of the best villains of the entire Bond series. The two villains, Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint, are henchmen of Ernst Blofeld. It is just hilarious how they make deadpan ... Read the complete review

Diamonds are Forever, starring Sean Connery! Basically, large amounts of South African diamonds are being stolen, in all sorts of ways, one guy even has to go to the dentist to have it removed!! None of the diamonds are being introduced into the market place though, and it's Bond's job to find out why, and where ... Read the complete review
