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.
1. The last elvis presley movie
Kennedy wasn't the only one watching a Bond movie before his last breath. Elvis Presley is also a member of this niche club. He died six days after watching 007's Undersea City, the last movie he ever saw. #詹姆斯 Bond ##007#Gossip Manual ##杨紫琼 #
2. Sponsors are crazy
No wonder so many companies want their products to appear in Bond movies. One of the cars in 007's Undersea City is a white Lotus Esprit. After the film's release, demand for the car soared, and the company had to draw up a three-year waiting list.
3. Crazy interviews
Roger Moore reportedly gave 390 interviews to promote Space City 007.
4. Shoot the story of the location
Not everyone likes Bond, and some of these haters are angry monks. In Top Secret 007, some scenes involve filming in Monte-Ora and monasteries. However, the monks disliked bond-related violence and actions and did everything they could to obstruct the filming. They would hang washed clothes on windows or lay plastic sheets on top of monastery rooms to block out the camera. In the end, the court ruled that the monks had only the right to refuse to film inside the monastery, and they had to withdraw from the anti-Bond demonstrations. As a result, the crew filmed the exterior scenes outside the monastery, but had to shoot the interior scenes in the studio.
5. Calm nerves
Roger Moore is allegedly so nervous about his climbing scenes in Top Secret 007 that he would drink toned down and a big beer before any climbing scene, even though he had a stuntman to shoot all the gruesome shots. He only needs to hang at a height of 1.2 meters, while his stuntman must be suspended at a height of 6 meters.
6. When we say that killing is permitted, this is not our original intention
While filming the famous sleigh chase in 007's Top Secret, the film crew encountered a complete tragedy. A stuntman named Paolo Rigoni was somehow stuck under a sleigh moving at an alarming speed and died of his injuries.
7. Forgive me for being bohemian and loving freedom
Roger Moore's wife would come to participate and supervise her husband's romantic scenes. embarrassed!
8. Spielberg with 007
Steven Spielberg had wanted to direct a James Bond film, but the series's producer, Albert Spielberg, wanted to direct a James Bond film. R. Broccoli only wanted British directors to direct films. Rejection must have been stinging at the time, but don't worry, Spielberg is all right. After being dumped by Bond executives, George Lucas gave Spielberg the opportunity to direct another legendary hero in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones.
9. True or False Bond
In 1983, two Bond films came out, just one that wasn't really Bond. baffle? We don't blame you. Basically, Eon Productions, the studio that has made all the Bond films to date, has launched Octopus 007, starring Roger Moore. However, Ian Fleming's old screenwriting buddy (remember him?). At the same time, "007 Gaiden Cruise Missile" was released, and Sean Connery returned as Bond. The film isn't really considered a Bond movie today either.
10. Moore's Return
After 007's Top Secret, Roger Moore's contract ended and James Brolin was almost confirmed as the new 007. However, when the producers learned that Sean Connery was back to star in the non-brand Bond film 007 Gaiden Cruise Missile, everything changed. The producers believe they need a recognized Bond to compete with Connery's return. Despite doing well in both films, "007 Octopus Woman" won the box office competition.
11. Thirty years of popularity
An Indian newspaper reported that even thirty years later, 007 Octopus Was still screened every night on the rooftop terrace and restaurant of Udaipur.
12. The contradiction between the main actors
Not all co-stars get along, and the performers in Bond's films are no exception. Roger Moore and Grace Jones absolutely hate collaborating in 007's Thunder Kill. They barely spoke throughout the filming, and in scenes where their characters share a bed, Jones brings an intimate toy to taunt Moore.
13.M Lady
Producer Albert R Broccoli didn't think audiences would accept Bond's orders to take women, so he didn't consider handing over M's role to women for a long time. In the end, Judy Dench played the role of M in 007's GoldenEye, and it's hard to imagine anyone could do better than her!
14. Stunts are also contraindicated
When the San Francisco government saw that 007 Thunder Kill wanted to shoot some footage on the Golden Gate Bridge, they absolutely forbade any falling stunts in that part of the film. They worry that this will inspire imitation behavior and even suicide.
15. New movies, new challenges
Timothy Dutton officially became the new James Bond in 1987's Dawn of Life in 007. Dutton had been awarded the role at least five times before, but he didn't accept it because he felt he was too young. Still, after Roger Moore retired, Dutton finally accepted. From the moment he started his role as 007, it was clear to Dutton that he wanted to play a different Bond than his predecessor.
16. Belated Pierce Brosnan
After Roger Moore left the role, Pierce Brosnan was also running for Bond. At the time, he was on the TV show Legend of Steele, but due to low ratings, Brosnan was convinced it would be canceled and he would then be free to become Bond. Well, it backfired. When the public heard that Brosnan might play Bond, the ratings of "The Legend of Steele" rose, and NBC renewed the show for one season. Unfortunately, that means Brosnan doesn't have time to play Bond! Of course, Brosnan did end up playing Bond. In the 1990s, he got the role of 007 based on an audition shot in 1986.
17. Leave if you don't like it
"007's License to Kill" is only Darden's second film as Bond, but it turns out to be his last. MGM's voluminous legal problems led to a long delay between LTK and the next Bond film, and eventually Dutton got tired of all the tossing. Dutton, along with longtime Bond producer Cubby Broccoli, composer John Barry and director John Glenn all announced their retirement from the series in the early '90s. But it wasn't all bad news, and their departure paved the way for Pierce Brosnan's new view of 007.
18. Are rumors true?
When viewers saw 007's License to Kill, they noticed something strange about the film: all of a sudden, Bond had almost no femininity as usual. At the time, due to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, when the film was filmed and released, the studio limited Bond's passion scene time, so rumors spread. At the time, Timothy Dutton denied these claims — but in 2007, he exposed the truth: rumors have always been true.
19. Female version of Bond
While there were a lot of actors considered and rumored to be running for Bond, there was also a time when producers considered changing his gender. According to long-rumored, Sharon Stone was considered a female version of the super spy of the 90s. While that didn't happen, we'll get a female agent in the near future: Rasana Lynch to play a mysterious 007 character in the latest Bond film, 007: No Time to Die.
20. Naming? Chen Ping'an is the best at it
Over the years, bond films have taken their names from Ian Fleming's books and stories. By the 1980s, however, there were not many bibliographies to choose from. 007's Murder License was the first Bond film to have a new title, while 007's GoldenEye was named after Fleming's estate in Jamaica. What's even cooler is that "GoldenEye" is also the code name for a special mission Fleming participated in while in the British Navy.
21.《We Have All the Time in the World》在远处播放
Pierce Brosnan played James Bond in the 1990s. But few viewers know that his connection to 007 begins with a complete tragedy. A few years before Brosnan took on the role, his wife Cassandra Harris made her debut as Bond Girl in Top Secret 007, but tragedy brought her promising career to an abrupt end. Harris died of ovarian cancer in 1991 at the age of 43. When asked about the loss, Brosnan described it in heartbreaking words: "Losing someone with whom you share everything is incredibly cruel." ”

The tank is now on display at the old Buckenham Airport, where the Military Museum of the East of England is also located.
26. Chinese Bang Girl
The beautiful martial arts superstar Yang Ziqiong is a girl who is loved by all ages. She played Lin Hui in "007 Tomorrow's Empire", calmly performing all her own battle scenes. Her martial arts fighting style was so skilled that the stuntmen on the set didn't want to shoot with her, and the crew had to call in stuntmen from Jackie Chan's stunt team to fight her. Awesome!
