Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

Thunderball, Sean Connery's fourth excursion as 007, upped the Bond ante with the most ambitious adventure--and budget--to date, and turned out to be his most successful venture in the series. George Lazenby, a handsome Australian model with a self-effacing confidence, made his first and only appearance as James Bond in the underrated On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a witty and action-packed adventure that makes 007 history when Bond marries the girl (the lovely and talented Diana Rigg, fresh from her duties as the butt-kicking spy on the TV series The Avengers). Roger Moore brought an altogether lighter tone to 007 with Live and Let Die, softening Connery's rough edges with a more romantic persona as the films became even more exotic. Octopussy, a colorful cold war thriller and one of Moore's better outings, stars Louis Jourdan as a corrupt Afghan prince and Maud Adams (making her second Bond appearance) as the ringmaster of an all-babe traveling circus team that unknowingly carries a nuclear bomb. Christopher Walken hams it up under a platinum-blond hairdo while his Amazon bodyguard, Grace Jones, growls through A View to a Kill, a silly but often visually impressive adventure that made it obvious Moore was too old and stiff to carry on the Bond legacy. No such problem with Pierce Brosnan, whose fourth outing, Die Another Day paired him with sexy American agent Jinx (Halle Berry) to take on a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bond mix July 12 2009
By Timothy G. Bell
Format:Blu-ray
Moonraker, Goldfinger, and The World is Not Enough show a broad range of Bonds from the best to arguably the worst.

Connery's Goldfinger stands as the glittering best both in terms of PQ and as entertainment. It set the template for all that followed with a perfect balance of wit, spectacle, glamour and John Barry's pulsing score topped by the brassy title song. Connery had slipped as comfortably into the role as his Saville-Row-tailored suits. Even after forty-five years, this stands as the height of 60's cool.

Moore's Moonraker shows just how far the series had fallen with a wild plot taking Bond from Rio during Carnival to outer space to thwart a mad mastermind. By this time, the series had pumped up the spectacle and cheap laughs to compete with the likes of Star Wars. It struck gold with the 1979 audiences but left the fans and critics less than enthused. Like all the Bonds, it looks and sounds great on BD though.

Brosnan's TWINE is in the middle with a great twist in the villain department, excellent action and some much-needed character depth. Not a lot of humour, unless you count the casting of vapid eye-candy Denise Richards in a central role as a nuclear scientist. What were they thinking?

The hours of extras mostly carried over from the 2 DVD Ultimate Bond detail just about every aspect of the films productions in the usual slick manner although the TWINE "making of" documentary is skimpy at best.

3.0 out of 5 stars James Bond Collection Vol. 3, VHS May 3 2004
By JRon
Format:VHS Tape
Not a bad collection of Bond material, however, this is a mix of various Bond movies with a variety of leading Bond actors. I recommend looking into the 1996 Collections that have the videos in chronological order and primarily by actor. JAMES BOND 007 Collector's Set, Vol. 1 includes all six Broccoli-produced Sean Connery Bond films, to include a 1995 documentary video. JAMES BOND 007 Collector's Set, Vol 2 includes all seven Roger Moore films and Timothy Dalton's first film. Although these sets are out-of-print, they are still available as used and collector's sets through Amazon.com's Marketplace. If you're like most fans, you'd prefer to have the movies that include your own favorite "leading-Bond-man"!

3.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag April 20 2004
By James Ferguson
Format:DVD
It's a tough call, but I have to take this set over the other two, largely based on the strength of Thunderball and Live and Let Die. Unfortunately, the godawful Octopussy comes with it. It was a smart ploy mixing these sets rather than treating them chronologically, as you are forced to have to accept some of the weaker Bond movies along with the stronger ones. Given the prices, it is better to make a set of your own. My choices would be Goldfinger, Thunderball, Diamonds Are Forever, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Live and Let Die, and The Living Daylights. Three out of six on this box set.
