You hardly have to have seen a James Bond movie to know a little bit about 0. He's one of the most famous fictional spies in the world, and his presence in global pop culture is overwhelming. The way he says, “Bond. James Bond.” The way he takes his martini. The way he rides off into the sunset, usually in a boat, with a different girl every adventure. These Bondian elements are stuck in our pop- culture brains.

For over five decades now, moviegoers have flocked to see the suave secret agent at the rate of one movie almost every other year; the 2. Bond movie, Spectre, will be released in the U.

James Bond movies: a pair of shapely legs, seen from behind, framing Bond in action. The bathing suit was so revealing that, in some places, the poster appeared with painted- on shorts covering her derriere. And whose legs are they?

According to a People magazine article from the time, three models claimed the thighs in question: Nancy Stafford, Jane Sumner and Joyce Bartle. No the Monkey — and Other Bond Animals. Even though a stuntman (Bill Cummings) played the bad guy who ended up swimming with the sharks in Thunderball, Sean Connery had to perform a similar feat for an important underground fight scene in which he would do his own stunts. The sharks weren’t much danger, though, since they were sedated — or more. The one that looks as if it comes closest to getting a mouthful of Bond was actually a shark corpse pulled along by a crewmember offscreen.

And the peril of shark- swimming is just one example of the dangerous business of working with live animals for a James Bond movie. During the filming of You Only Live Twice, Donald Pleasence, playing the recurring villain Blofeld, had an unfortunate run- in with the character’s signature accessory: the movie’s scary explosions caused Blofeld’s Persian cat to pee on the actor. One Bondian animal, though, was never seen by audiences: in a first draft of Dr. No, the titular doctor was supposed to be a monkey. Fleming originally thought that four Bond books were enough, but his publisher persuaded him to wait until he had written 1. You Only Live Twice novel. Readers learned that Bond’s parents were Andrew Bond, a Scottish man, and a Swiss woman named Monique Delacroix.

The elder Mr. Bond worked for a weapons company and brought his family on many business trips; both parents died when the boy was 1. He lived with an aunt in England after that, studied at Eton and Fettes College in Edinburgh, graduated from high school at 1. Royal Navy. Depends whom you ask, since he’s always in the prime of life. In the movie Casino Royale, his birthday is given as April 1. Casino Royale came out as a novel, and the same year Daniel Craig was born. In the 5. 3 years from Dr. No to Spectre, 2.

James Bond movies will have been released by Eon Productions, the company founded in 1. Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. That doesn’t mean there haven't been other movies. Bond first appeared onscreen in a 1. Casino Royale. Another Casino Royale, a spy- movie spoof, was released in 1.

Eon. It starred Bond girl Ursula Andress, Peter Sellers, Orson Welles and a young Woody Allen as “Jimmy Bond.” Another notable non- Eon Bond movie was 1. Sean Connery vehicle and Thunderball copycat Never Say Never Again, which opened just a few months after Octopussy. No was United Artists' second choice for the first Bond movie, after Thunderball. The novel had come out recently in 1. Eon Productions got the film rights to the Bond books, but the producers' top pick was embroiled in scandal: a director named Kevin Mc. Clory had filed a lawsuit claiming that Fleming had stolen plot points Mc. Clory and a screenwriter created for a never- made Bond movie and included them in the book Thunderball.

The suit wasn’t resolved until 1. Mc. Clory screen rights to the story. The Thunderball movie came to fruition two years later, through an agreement that gave Mc. Clory a co- producer role on the Eon Production movie. Still, Mc. Clory kept the screen rights to the book — and in 1. Sean Connery had spent more than a decade away from the franchise, Mc. Clory not only exercised his right to adapt the story but also persuaded Connery to star in it.

With the other Thunderball movie established as a classic by the '8. Rumor has it the title found itself when Connery's wife Micheline remarked that he should “never say never again,” now that he was coming back as Bond. But in the case of Goldfinger, a white lie of that variety landed the German actor Gert Fr. When he was approached to play the titular villain, his agent confirmed to the Bond producers that Fr. But as Roger Moore tells it in his book Bond on Bond, Fr? I am very pleased to be here.” The actor Michael Collins ended up voicing all of Goldfinger’s lines, which were then dubbed over Fr.

He called the place Goldeneye, claiming a number of origins for the name of the estate, including Carson Mc. Cullers' Reflections in a Golden Eye and Operation Goldeneye, a plan he developed during World War II in case of a Nazi invasion of Gibraltar.

Whatever the inspiration, Fleming found his own there: he created James Bond on the island — writing many of his 1. Caribbean. After Fleming's death, the estate was sold to Bob Marley. A year later, Marley sold it to Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records. The 1. 7th Bond film, Pierce Brosnan's first, took its name from the idyllic locale.

For example: The real- life case of Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess, British diplomats found to be Soviet double agents in 1. British media in the early '5. The year turned out to be important in his surprising decision not to make another: as the '7. He was, of course, wrong. Another current- events issue that affected the Bond movies was the fuel crisis of 1.

The Man with the Golden Gun was filming in Bangkok at the time, and the global energy problem meant that the film's planned budget was no longer sufficient.

He and the women he meets engage in casual sex without moral consequences (even if the women have a tendency to become targets for Bond's opponents).
