Geez it's the Bumper Book of James45's Facts if you must know :D

Never Say Never Again is a remake of Thunderball, I guess they thought they couldn't make anything worse than Thunderball... they were wrong.

Bad bond films Moonraker with jaws hamming it up and falling in love argggg and A View to a Kill moore was too old and saggy, i wasnt that keen on The World is Not Enough either but i think Timothy Dalton was under rated both his films are good.

I don't know though, A View to a Kill did have it's moments. Even though Roger Moore was showing his age and the Bond girl was boring, Christopher Walken as Zorin makes it well worth a watch -he does do a good crazy man.

Easily much better than Never Say Never again. That bit (in NSNA) when the they jump into the ocean on the horse - looks like it should be in a Monty Python film.

Oh yeah - and Timothy Dalton rules.

and i can't remember the actresses name, but the character was called "Plenty o'toole" but what always makes me laugh is connerys comeback at their first meeting....

"hi, I'm Plenty, Plenty O'Toole"....to which Connery replies...."why of course you are!" (as he notices her huge cleavage)
