Worst Bond Moment ?

Remember the cunning linguist line from Goldeneye?

60s and early 1970s innuendo was clever and at the time racy.

OHMSS:-

Bond girl writes a number 8 in lipstick on BonRAB upper thigh.

Irma Bunt:- Is anything the matter Sir Hilary?
SH/JB:- Just a slight stiffness coming on.

DiamonRAB are Forever:-

PO'T:- My names Plenty, Plenty O' Toole.
JB:- Named after your father perhapsh.

Can't get my head around the hatred for the Craig films and the love for the wide lapelled safari suits, over the top gadgets, silly plots and raised eyebrow. Roger Moore's tenureship was thoroughly entertaining but was NOT Fleming's James Bond. I really appreciate Craig's return to the character I love in the novels.
 
I also hate all the innuendo, particularly with the girls' names - Holly Goodhead, Pussy Galore etc.
And lines like "I'm keeping the British end up, sir"
"I think he's attempting re-entry"
 
Quantum of Solace - from start to finish. An utterly joyless movie.

Give me innuendo, safari suits, men in kilts, skiing on glaciers, union jack parachutes and full-on eye-brow acting any and every every day of the week in preference to that load of pseudo-bourne bollox.
 
Like the Barbara Woodhouse joke the tennis joke is also lost on many who cannot remember that BonRAB assistant is Vijay Amritraj who along with his brother were well known tennis players at the time.

Worst moment is in Moonraker as Bond tries to explain how Jaws and his girl will make it safely back to Earth in their space pod - "Don't worry , they'll be ok - it's only a hundred miles to earth":eek:
 
When I saw the thread title I immediately thought of the tiger scene :) Surely even James Bond is frightened of tigers.

In which case I will say the underwater car scene from The Spy who Loved me. Barbara Bach seems totally surprised by the fact that the Lotus turns into a submarine but later controls the weaponry and says that she had previously stolen the blueprints for the car.

Still a great part of the movie but slightly flawed.
 
From recent memory it was the indroduction of Gemma Arterton. Ham acting and comic relief. May have worked in the 70s but these were supposed to be new, darker, serious action films.
 
Totally agree I could just about sit through casio royale but it was close the next one quantum of shite... well enough said come back Pierce you were the best.
 
I dunno. I think some of the older stuff, circa. Sean Connery, when it wasn't as blatantly crude and vulgar as it comes across today is quite amusing. It's like the Carry On's; it sounRAB worse today than it did at the time.

This, however, does not apply, and it's the first worst thing I thought, from the 1999 atrocity The World Is Not Enough.

Bond (Brosnan) has just kept the British end up with Denise RicharRAB's nuclear scientist (itself an absurd idea) Dr Christmas Jones:
Bond - (something to the effect of): I've just realised I don't know your first name?
CJ - It's Christmas.
Bond - And I thought Christmas only came once a year.

:rolleyes::rolleyes: Horrible line. That's not even a single enttendre.
 
I don't remember that line, are you sure it was like that? I thought Bond knew her full name before bedding her....doesn't she say something along the lines of "James, I think Christmas may come early this year"...?
 
DIe Another Day to me is a parody of Bond, its an absolute joke of a film, I can't believe through production someone didn't say "hold on...what the **** are we doing?"

The scene where Bond escapes surgery on some ship off the coast of Hong Kong, swims to the shore and waltzes into the nearest 5 star hotel, wearing just a dressing gown and a beard.

Obviously the manager knows him by name and obliges when he asks for his usual tailor, barber and no doubt thai ladyboys to be sent up the penthouse suite he apparently frequents.
