It’s the kind of movie “best” lists were made for, and over the years it’s been on plenty of them: Best Movie Quote, Best Song, Best Villain, Most Thrills. It boasts both the most famous car in movie history and what novelist Anthony Horowitz once called “perhaps the most bizarre murder in literature.” It spawned both 1964’s best-selling toy among tots and that year’s “sexiest man alive” among adults. It remains the most beloved entry in the single most profitable cinematic series of all time — adjusted for inflation, the movie cost only twenty-four-million dollars to make, yet brought in an epochal 853 million at the box office.

Yeah, and I'm sure you guys don't much care because you look at the cars and weapons, lol.

Remember this song from the late 90's? The tune and video were a nice tip of the hat to the whole Bond series, and I have to say, Robbie Williams certainly has the Connery eyebrow down pat:
Robbie Williams - Millenium

Lol, thanks. I got a laugh out of that. He does have the eyebrow thing down good. I loved him trying to use that “power pack” thing on his back - I made a gif of Connery going up in the air with it.
Sadly I can’t understand the lyrics because of early hearing loss, but someone wrote some of them in the comments below.

Years ago the 0pansys and 0ponzis never got anywhere near a critical position
In a ME country right now - he would be the tyrannical corrupt scum they would be chasing out

I agree with you devolve. We haven’t seen so many arrogant photos of him with his head thrown back lately, but if he had the power he would use it full force.

Robbie Williams doing an impersonization of James Bond and it's funny. He uses the eyebrow quirks, he's a cute guy. In the one scene he has that Jet Pack on in the middle of a huge field, it won't work and finally it shows him walking off into the distance, lol. I can't understand the words.
Had to go find this, lol.

He decided not to go far and landed with a thump!
I should have made him come down slow too.

A bit of TMI for BMW fans
The BMW Z8 sportscar was not ready when “THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH” was being filmed -
So BMW took a clone of a Ford V8 engined Shelby Cobra roadster and fitted a BMW Z8 body to it
TMI BONUS:
Pierce Brosnan played James Bond in TWINE

That is correct potlatch
Brosnan drove three (3) different BMWs in three (3) different Bond movies
He drove a blue-green 4 cylinder BMW Z3 sportscar in “GOLDENEYE”
He drove a silver BMW 750I 4dr in
“TOMORROW NEVER DIES”
-
One actor who played James Bond the most times - never was seen in a 007 movie driving a silverbirch Aston Martin DB5 coupe - or for that matter an:
Aston Martin DBS V8
Aston Martin Volante
Aston Martin Vanquish V12
Aston Martin DBS
He did however drive two (2) similiar (but different) Lotus GT coupes
He was already 48 years old when he made his first James Bond movie
and had been considered for earlier Bond flicks

I wouldn’t know one of those cars from another, would just have to look at them. I liked Brosnan but not as James Bond.
