007 James Bond, is one of the longest running film series of all time. You might think you know a lot about this international mystery figure (and his iconic penchant for shaking rather than stirring martinis), but be prepared as we uncover the little-known behind-the-scenes story of the 007 movie. #詹姆斯 Bond ##007##八卦手册 #
1. Boat racing
The boat racing scene in 007's Black Sun Crisis took seven weeks to shoot, all for a very interesting reason: although it looks like a high-speed event, the Thames actually has a speed limit of 1 hour and 9 nautical miles (16.668 km/h).
2. Buy insurance to shoot a scene
Being a Bond Girl is not a walk in a park. Halle Berry experienced some uncomfortable — and sometimes near-fatal — shooting conditions on the set of 007's Alternative Day. There was a scene where fragments of a smoke bomb flew into her eyes! In the intimate scene, she experienced an unromantic experience and almost choked to death by figs.
3. Money printing machine
Implantable advertising has always been an important part of Bond films. However, in Die Another Day, the studio really took it to another level. 20 companies paid about $70 million to get their products to appear in movies. Indeed, there are so many implantable ads that some jokingly refer to the film as "buy another day."
4. Three casino royal cases
Did you know that Fleming's 007: Vs Casino Royale actually has three movie versions? One was a TV movie made in 1954, one was a spoof made by Peter Salles in 1967, and the third was a film starring Daniel Craig.

5. Shoot and burn money
In Daniel Craig's first Bond film, 007: Casino Royale, producers not only need actors to perform stunts, they also need Bond's Aston Martin to join. The crew installed an aerodynamic cannon behind the driver's seat so that the car could perform seven full rolls, a record that even made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. It's also worth mentioning that the stunt was very expensive, with three Aston Martins (each worth around $300,000) being destroyed during the rollover.
6. Be kind to yourself
Ian Fleming was delighted to write 007: Casino Royale. So much so that he bought himself a gilded typewriter as a reward. However, Pierce Brosnan actually bought the typewriter at auction for $52,000.
7. Pain and happiness
Daniel Craig played Bond for the second time more painfully than the first time! The actor was injured 3 times on the set of 007: Quantum of Solace. First, four stitches were made to Craig's face; then one of his fingertips was cut off; and finally, Craig's shoulder was so badly injured that he had to insert six surgical screws into his body. Imagination hurts!
8. Strike and go
While the writers were busy writing the script for 007: Quantum of Solace, they were under considerable time pressure. The Writers Guild plans a historic strike, which means the script must be completed before the strike begins. No wonder it's the shortest Bond movie to date! (And, according to most viewers, it's the worst of Daniel Craig's Bond films.)
9. A new beginning
007: The Great Breaking is the first completely original Bond film. By 2012, almost all of Ian Fleming's Bond novels and short stories had been adapted into films, which meant screenwriters had to be creative. Still, that didn't stop the audience from flocking to watch. In fact, at the box office, "007: Breaking the Sky" is the most successful bond film in the world.
10. "Ball Flower" Bang Girl
Monica Bellucci, 50, will be the oldest Bang girl in the film series. However, the prevailing view is that she is not a true Bond girl because her personality does not fit the Bond lover setting. For example, she and Bond are not afraid of any physical intimacy on screen. However, Bellucci is definitely a state girl.
11. Looking forward to new works
After a full delay related to 2020, the next Bond film is scheduled to be released in 2021, titled 007 Without Time to Die. Producer Barbara Broccoli mentioned that the film will show Bond enjoying himself. Phoebe Waller-Bridge (best known as The London Life) was involved in the screenplay, with Rami Marek playing the villain, and we have high hopes for the show!
12. Tired of acting, it's time to say goodbye
For attentive fans, it's no surprise that 007's No Time to Die will be Daniel Craig's last appearance as Bond. When Craig filmed 007: Ghost Party, he gave a controversial interview in which he called the character "misogynistic" and said he "would rather cut his wrist" than play 007 again.
13. The oldest Bond
Roger Moore returned to the Bond series after Octopus of 007, when he played Bond for the seventh time in 007's Thunder Kill. He was 57 years old, the oldest actor to play the role to date. Moore later said that when he realized he was much older than the actress who played the bond girl in the movie, he knew it was time to retire.
14. Bowie's determination
David Bowie was invited to play Max Zorin in 007's Thunder Kill, but he declined, opting instead for Labyrinth. Allegedly, he told producers he didn't like the script, and producers were less than happy with his bluntness. Later, Bowie also mentioned that he didn't like Bond movies very much and hadn't seen them since Connery left.
15. 40 years of persistence
The release of 007's Alternative Day Marks the 40th Anniversary of the Bond Film Series. To celebrate this important moment, all the actors who played Bond were present at the event. Well, except for Sean Connery. He did not come because of his participation in the now almost forgotten film League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Connery turned down roles in two highly successful series (he refused to play Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films).
16. Freedom of choice
After unsuccessfully trying to get Hopkins to play the bad guy in 007's GoldenEye, Bond's producers must have cheered when Hopkins signed up to play the evil Elliot Carver in 007 Empire of Tomorrow. However, just three days after on the set, Hopkins was once again out of the film. He was uncomfortable with the chaos on set, noting in particular that the script was written while they were working, and Hopkins chose to perform in The Mask of Zorro.
