James Bond: Spectre
Discussion
Just wanted to add something to this. A friend of mine's dad was actually seriously injured (Broken leg and vertebrae) whilst filming Spectre. I'm told that he is recovering well now. Worth noting how dangerous filming can be at times. All so we can enjoy it at the cinema ect. ect.
Anyways, I am also looking forward to Spectre. Didn't get QoS at all, but didn't mind the other two

Indeedy. Despite its cheesiness, Octopussy saw veteran Bond stunty Martin Grace suffer severe injury whilst doubling for Roger Moore during the train sequence. Hanging off the side of a carriage, he struck a line side gantry (missed during the pre-shoot recce) smashing his legs.Edited by anonymous-user on Monday 9th March 15:22

I know everyone has thier favourite Bond but I just cant hack Dalton never watched one of his films I think he is wooden.
Roger stayed too long Bond is supposed to be about 35 years old and Sean Connery had to be really appreciated in the era he made the films.
I like Daniel Craig and all the new stuff I think it does reflect the early Bond films far more than the ones of the last 30 years.
But to be honest with the exception of Dalton despite having the box set I will still watch them on tV when ever they are on.
Oh apart from never say never again

Bit in bold from your quote not a bond film IMO as it was not an official Bond film. Roger stayed too long Bond is supposed to be about 35 years old and Sean Connery had to be really appreciated in the era he made the films.

I guess the bottom line is films are an industry, and people will get hurt/killed doing it, just like any other dynamic profession. Probably seems a little harsh though, bearing in mind the end product is simply entertainment.
One of the things we enjoy about Bond films is knowing the stunts are done for real ('in camera' I think it's called), but there are definitely risks to life and limb so that we can enjoy an action sequence that lasts only a moment. However I don't think these are guys who would be sat safely at their office desk if not for the film industry. I don't imagine the stuntmen want to get hurt, but I also suspect they don't just do it for the money. If they weren't working in the film industry, they'd probably still be skydiving, rock climbing, or some other 'extreme' sport.
For example, I've been told that the bloke who did the bungie jump at the start of Goldeneye got paid a small fortune, but obviously he became an expert at it for the love of it. The same would apply to the skier that jumped off the cliffe with the parachute in TSWLM.
They are well paid to do what they are good at, and they are good at it because they love it.

Remember its License to Kill this Sunday.
An odd entry to the series and one that upsets many people.
Full of inconsistencies such as a small plane being able to drag a helicopter and a heroine with short hair, not forgetting
that it's the same Felix Leiter but Bonds knocked years off himself and Felix doesn't bat an eyelid.
