i dont know the original source material but im sure they were going for a spy version of westerns at the time which kind of had some consistencies about the character to give them you know.... a thing..... an iconic line much like clint eastwood with the cowboy hat poncho and cigar.
epiphany55 before you did that math I was thinking, "that's not that much". Then I realized his martinis and twice as strong as mine. (2 measures of gin, one of vermouth, stired with a lemon twist)
I read the Bond book, Dr. No. And he seems to spend most of the first part of the book getting drunk on sake. As I recall he ate one of those seafood dinners where the seafood was still alive, and moved. Then he spends all this time getting back into shape to go after that awful Dr. No. Of course, he meets that beautiful woman along the way. And she and Bond get captured and tortured by Dr. No. But somehow Bond pulls out of it and saves the woman, and gets rid of Dr.No in someway that I can't remember. Then, he of course, is with that woman at the end. Bond was so unfaithful to these women, since he had a different woman in every book or film. Women must hate him! Oh well. The premise is that agents 001 through 006 were all killed on duty. 007 keeps on surviving. So he lives life to the extreme, since he might be killed or die at any given moment. I think I'm about to have a heart attack or die of liver disease. Would someone hand me that beautiful woman, and give me that last glass of sake please? lol!
I have always loved that one. The high-end connoisseur at the end of the table indicates disappointment and Bond flat out details the specifics like a boss.
In Las Vegas, at a bar one time I ordered a martini the same way, the female bartender asked me, " are you the Asian James bond" I said no. I am a regular man who likes his martini the same way James bond likes it.
GoldenEye is so cool cause we had the Martini, shaken not stirred order followed immediately by Bond, James Bond then just nonstop Pierce Brosnan AK action
A couple of scenes were left out. Drinking the martini in the room The Living Daylights. Drinking the martini in the club in The World Is Not Enough. Necking the scotch in the bathroom in Casino Royale.
when you make it with vodka, the best way is shaken due the cooling point of vodka, that's lower than gin's. Shaking the ice in the mixer, you cause a micro infraction of the ice cubes, that makes vodka more cold than it would be stirring. The breaked ice also gives the drink the typical "dirty" surface, that reminds immediately of cold, and last but not least, keeps your martini really dry, because the ice cubes can' t loose water drops in the mixing procedure. saying it right, the real Bond signature drink is the Vesper Martini, another "abomination"if you want to consider so, but good as hell!
He's an alcohilc. Like me, as example. But otherwise I'm not an agent. But I'm not a f***-genderfascist! I still love 007. But not that castr**ed version from Dan Craig. To me Bond is dead. Babs killed him. I still watch all the good, old films. Tim Dalton is in my Top-5 on #1! Rodge on #2 Connery on #3 Brosnan on #4 Dan on #5 Lazy on #6 But: OHMSS is in my top #3 from all these films on #3! Place one: #FRWL Place two: #TLD Grüße aus Germanistan!
The chemical residue from the explosives got on bonds hands when he touched the money. He then transferred the residue to the ice which reacted to the alcohol clueing bond in on the ruse
You can tell who was the best bond just by watching this video. Connery absolutely nails his lines. The guy was super smooth. Sorry but the rest are all playing for 2nd place.
I love watching this, especially after I've made a vodka martini, God bless you whoever made this compilation, and bless mr Connery 🙏 This ones for you, sir 🍸
**James Bond at the bar** "Dry Martini and hurry... Oh, wait... I change my mind... I want mine with 2 ounces of Vodka... 1 ounce of Gin... a tiny dash of Kina Lilet... and one drop... just ONE DROP of Angostura bitters and pour that in a COUPE GLASS, nothing else... and garnish it with half a lemon peel and half an olive... and perfume it with one and a half puffs of citrus zest, and serve it to me on a union jack napkin on one side and the Soviet flag on the other side while kneeling down so I would receive it with my left foot.... and yes....I want it shaken... NOT STIRRED!!!... Do I make myself clear?" Bartender: "But of course sir.... crystal clear sir... exquisite choice sir... right away sir" **Me at the bar** "Excuse me, instead of putting 2 ounces of Vodka... can I hav..." Bartender: "You're only having the ones off of the menu... no funny business" **facepalm**
Shaking cocktails dilutes the alcohol. It's a poor way to drink them in real life. But there's a theory that bond orders his martinis shaken because it dilutes them more, thus keeping him sober for longer when on the job.
shaken not stirred is the dumbest line they used throughout the movies, one of the directors must have had a terrible taste in drinking or was just unknowledgeable
Just one small problem with Daniel Craig's bond ordering his Vespers with Kina Lillet. First off, it was a type of vermouth (a blanc/bianco vermouth) made with quinine. Second, He couldn't have ordered it anyway because Kina Lillet went out of production in the 60's and there is currently no direct substitute.
Good taste in champagne (Bollinger Grande Annee) but not so good in spirits (Gordon's and Smirnoff). There have been Mojitos, Mint Juleps and Lazenby's "Malt Whisky and Bruuunch Water, Please", so surely it's time for a decent beer: "What would you like to drink Mr Bond?" "An 18% Triple IPA." "Yes, of course sir!".
