Bond, Ranked Bond: The Cold War’s Horniest Spy
Stray Thoughts/Spoilers

- Screenplay by Roald Dahl. That explains the rampant racism.
- Bond’s fake death rivals Sherlock’s in terms of inexplicability.
- “Stirred, not shaken, right?”
- Freddie Young’s cinematography is an upgrade — the fights look like actual fights for the first time.
- Bond complains about Siamese vodka — funny, considering Thailand has never produced local vodka.
- Sean Connery’s toupée is more visible — they didn’t match the color well.
- — “In Japan, men come first, not women.” — “I think I’ll retire here.”
- Alright, the mini helicopter with a flame thrower has won me over.
- A SPECTRE ship swallowing a Russian ship and taking it to a volcano lair! Hello, Hank Scorpio.
- The ninja training sequence
- SURGICALLY APPLIED YELLOWFACE???
- Poison down the thread!
