dubai_phil Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 OK local Sat channel is showing all the Bond movies from start to finish each night. No arguments about the best actor to play Bond, but who has been the best Bond girl..... Ursula Andress had the legendary moment, but tonight we watched The World is Not Enough with Sophie Marceau & Denise Richards... hmmmmm Thoughts/inputs?
Micky Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 'Thoughts' and 'inputs' are not printable, else we too could be here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=17591 ..!
Colinjb Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Maryam D'Abo from 'The Living Daylights' for me. #drools# The 'best' debatable, but certainly my favourite.
Arizona Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Fittest? You could be onto something with Richards or Andres. Andres' voice was dubbed quite badly though and I just couldn't get my head around Richards as a nuclear technician. The best??? I liked Famke Jansen as a 'bad guy' in Goldeneye. Isabella Scorupo was good in that too. Rosamude Pike was alright as another baddy. Maryam d'Abo was also good in the living daylights. I can't decide... Worst??? Balle was terrible as Jynx in Die Another Day. As was Britt Ekland in The Man With the Golden Gun.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Fiona Fullerton in 'A View to a Kill'. She was a local girl at the time and lived in Winchester with her parents. (Father was Brigadier Fullerton of the RAPC)
Rattlehead Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Talisa Soto in Licence To Kill Carole Bouquet in For Your Eyes Only Halle Berry in whatever it was she was in

You think about it too much (not about spelling though, obviously, although I suspect you may have been drinking heavily). It's all about looks my friend.
swannymere Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Best bond was Timothy Dalton and best bond girl probably Ursula Andress Barbara Bach Famke Janssen
Ponty Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Tip: Don't post links with filtered words in the title. No matter how innocuous. Our swear filter is prehistoric.
Red Alert Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Jane Seymour from Live and Let Die was the best Bond Girl. Beautiful
Petersfield Saint Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Honor Blackman/Pussy Galore for me - hubba hubba!! :smt049
SuperMikey Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 "some Russian sh*ts in black jumpsuits with lemon piping.."
Nineteen Canteen Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Barbara Bach - probably because it coincided with a young man's realisation as to why the 'Bond girl' was so important and discovering that secondary purpose a large bag of popcorn to spare your blushes in a family visit to the cinema. The Spy Who Loved Me - memorable and still my favourite bond film of all time.
scaramanga Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 "some Russian sh*ts in black jumpsuits with lemon piping.." "dont do bond wrong"
mightysaints Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Maud Adams and Roasmund Pike will do for me
Arizona Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Maud Adams and Roasmund Pike will do for me Adams was good in The Man With the Golden Gun, but looked a bit old in Octopussy. Incidentally, Joseph Wiseman, who played Dr No, died last week aged 91. RIP.
dubai_phil Posted 29 October, 2009 Author Posted 29 October, 2009 Tomorrow never dies was Tuesday's offering. Had forgotten the scene where JB meets Robbie Coltrane for the first time in Robbie's bar... where his squeeze is dressed in a cowboy outfit singing the world's worst karaoke version of Stand by Your Man.... Was Minnie Driver, all 40 seconds of her
dubai_phil Posted 29 October, 2009 Author Posted 29 October, 2009 That was Goldeneye. oops another day another Bond movie my bad.... Funny though, this place has never had a "tv culture" and yet this is the first time I ever recall people discussing that they watched the movie the night before and have not bothered going out - even been letters to the paper about it! Seeing the evolution unfold, even watching dear old Q's understated retirement in The World is not Enough having watched him galavanting around with VJ as a field operative a couple of nights before. Suddenly you realise, Timothy Dalton was a good Bond, just he had the wrong Jaw line and was never right. George Lazenby actually wasn't as bad as seemed at the time - he simply wasn't Connery, and Daniel Craig, perfect in the new films for the new era, but he simply doesn't have that little "touch of class" that made so many foreigners love Bond as well... Was Honour Blackman the best Bond girl? was it her "feisty independence" in those days or was it just the name. Still having the debate in the household here! One funny though, lots of the girls down here have managed to learn to do a fantastic impression of every Bond girl ever.... Ohhhhhhhh Jaaaammmeeeeesssss.... Somehow much better than when us blokes try and do the Connery - Bond, James Bond - impression
Johnny Shearer Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 Honor Blackman/Pussy Galore for me - hubba hubba!! :smt049 +1. She exudes class.
Petersfield Saint Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 +1. She exudes class. Would post a piccy if I wasn't at work - can anyone else oblige?

dubai_phil Posted 29 October, 2009 Author Posted 29 October, 2009 OK, Die Another Day this evening - which brought up a new contender for a new title... Worst "nearly" Bond Girl - and the award goes to Madonna Halle Berry was very good in the movie, just not convinced she is a "oh yes please" compared to the others mentioned on here
Arizona Posted 29 October, 2009 Posted 29 October, 2009 I thought they were both terrible in that film actually. Madonna's cameo was completely pointless. Berry is fit, but her acting in that film was terrible.

Berry is fit, but her acting in that film was terrible. Madonna's cameo was completely pointless probably part of her fee for doing the song... Berry is fit, but her acting in that film was terrible wasn't thinking of her acting so much, more her "from the shoulders down", the whole coming out the sea bit - wasn't Ursula but a fair effort - if only ... if it wasn't for the Will Smith pineapple shaped bit above the shoulders that seems accentuated in the movie.... Rosamund Pike works but somehow seems to look like your sister/daughter Ho hum Casino Royale tomorrow, the post Bourne Identity era begins
Petersfield Saint Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Swannymere - you're a gentleman and a scholar, cheers my friend Arizona - LOL, not quite what I had in mind!! Still might though...
Badger Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 (edited) Thought about this long and hard. On reflection I don't think any have really matched the original or come close: Had previously thought she was Swedish.Only realised this year that she is Swiss and as we Saints fans now know some of the truly great things in life come from Switzerland! The Halle Berry act was merely trying to recreate the Dr No scene and did not match it. Edited 1 November, 2009 by Badger
