I agree but the new movies are better. The producers should have left the toys alone and stayed with the concept of Dr. No and From Russia with Love.

I knew my AR-7 was in From Russia, With Love but it was pointed out by a Freeper that it was also in Goldfinger.

That promo shot always confused me. First, whatever it is, it looks like a target pistol. Second, as everyone knows, Bond carried a .25 Beretta, then the Walther.

I wouldn’t want to pay UK taxes either, to support all the people sitting around doing nothing but collecting govt checks and the muslims are getting out of hand there. As well as the yobs who can’t find enough new ways to hurt and torture people there now that they are all disarmed.

My favorite Sean Connery quote not because I necessarily agree with it, but it certainly shows his ...I don’t give a damn what people think about me.

“I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong in hitting a woman, though I don’t recommend you do it the same way that you hit a man.”

The photographer realized they needed a gun in the picture but all they had was an air pistol.

I think the .25 auto only lasted one book until Q or M told him to upgrade to the PPK 9MM kurz because it had enough power “like a brick through a glass window” or some nonsense like that.

When Sean Connery was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.

He’s probably got that Scot streak in him that (like a bunch of others) want to stick it to the English. I would guess he’d return if Scotland got full autonomy.

My husband knows Sean Connery is only man I would have ever left him for...okay, maybe Tom Selleck too. How can you not love a gorgeous guy who says “Up yours...” to Hollywood and speaks out for the NRA!
