Good night sweet prince.

Now he and Richard Kiel can go at it again.

Edit: Forgot to include Christopher Lee

I loved him in "The Persuaders", all my feels.

No, Bond, I didn't expect you to die at this very moment...

Fuck, and here I was thinking it would be Connery who was the first to go.

Fuck, and here I was thinking it would be Connery who was the first to go.

Moore's actually older than Connery so it sort of makes sense.

As in life as in death, completely overshadowed by modern special effects and action sequences with a tart pop star providing the soundtrack

Technically he was the first one to be in that kind of Bond flick *points at View to a Kill*

 

[AnOminous]

He was an underrated Bond.

My favourite/most hated part of his bond films were in the Man with the Golden Gun, where he has a kung fu fight alongside his Chinese friend and his Chinese's friends nieces, who happen to be schoolgirls trained in kung fu. It was so awesome but so terrible at the same time.

When it comes to "the man with the golden gun", the absolute best and worst thing is the car jump.

One of the greatest stunts of all time and the ruined it with a stupid sound effect.

 

[The Nothingness]

Let us not forget the ridiculous space battle in Moonraker.

It was actually a computer model, so I assume it was meant to be a filler from the lack of sound expected to be heard from a car launching and dropping on two ramps. Why a slide whistle? It was the fucking 1970s!

 

[Foltest]

It was actully John Barry who put in the slide whistle in there. John Goddamn Barry! He later said it was a stupid move and that it undercut the stunt.,

He was definitely better than Connery, and it's a shame people used to give him shit just because his films "were too silly" compared to the rest of the series.

That's the stuff that made his films so memorable, the same film that gave us Scaramanga also gave us Nick Nack. His films may have strayed into the campy side too much, but I still like them more than several of Connery's or Brosnan's entries.

Fucking Live And Let Die dudes!

When asked how they felt about the news of his death, his friends said they were shaken, not stirred.
