heh, the classic one is the 'adjusting the tie' manouver. after dispensing with a room full of bad guys, blowing up an underground lair, and shooting an international terrorist in the head, make sure your appearance says 'I am a man in control'.

the gadgets are great, my old man received a catalogue from a company that make such gadgets professionally for a high price.

fake wall sockets with microphones in, pens with microphones in, mobile phones with microphones and transmitters in. good stuff, very expensive though.

I agree with Mystique. By the way, X-Men 2 came out today for DVD and VHS.

It would surprise you. They have the gadgets. Sadly not the girls though.

Dalton was great because he played a convincing secret agent. Although I do enjoy a good one liner, I fail to believe that a real MI6 agent throws people in the bath with an electrical heater, and shouts 'shocking'.

Dalton was a far more dangerous character.

Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye

The problem with Dalton was that he was a classical actor. He should have been quoting Shakespeare, not toboganning on a cello case. But at least he was a bit more dangerous-ish than Moore. who of course looked so unconvincing in his zimmer frame towards the end of his run.

BROSN*A*N !!!

I get you, Connery and Brosnon are sharper Bonds, more of a ruthless kiler type too.

Moore...mmmm more or of a comedy Bond if you ask me.

Dalton was good, Licence to Kill is one of my favourites. He brought the ruthlessness out of Bond too, just not as well as Connery and Brosnon.

And poor ol' George. Less said about him the better.
