25 Bonds: An individual dissection.

Every Bond is different. Not just from actor to actor, but from movie to movie. With so many screenwriters, directors, and producers with their fingerprints on the series; it's left us with a constantly changing landscape. Bond as a character has evolved from decade to decade and even movie to movie. This is an attempt at distilling each Bond on a film by film basis.

Your task: attempt to describe James Bond within the confines of a specific Bond film. All films are open. Even CR'67 (which, of course, would be Sir James Bond, not the frauds).

I'll start.

James Bond in From Russia With Love: A man of the world, he's a natural in just about any environment. He makes friends easy. He's prone to vengeful action, as he slaps around Tatiana pretty roughly when he thinks she knows more about Kerim's death than she lets on. He's humorous, but in a twisted way. He attracts women quite easily and most that are with him don't seem to mind that he's probably doing someone else in a different country. Follow culinary law pretty strictly. Holds a disregard for gadgets.

Comment, criticize, post your own observations.

I saw this post on MI6book, but I'd rather reply here.

Really great idea for a thread. I think I'll do Dr. No and maybe we can somewhat go in order from there. It might be a fun way to look at how Bond has evolved over the years.

Bond in Dr. No:

A seasoned agent with plenty of field experience is skeptical of the supernatural and superstition, but is willing to explore a mystery from any angle. Spends his free time gambling and bedding women. He has a soft spot for women who may be a victim, but do not act like one. He is extremely persistant, and is set on doing his job no matter how dire the situation gets.

Bond In Thunderball.

A master in time management. With little time to find Bomb, he still manages to kill lots of bad guys,have lunch with Domino, sleeps with the beauties, the good and the bad, roasts a Count, play tag with sharks, gambles, shoots skeets, spies, taunts Felix, do lots of underwater stuff and finally retrieve the Bomb. There is a self-help book waiting to be written about time management with James Bond ;)
