I watched both films...

Each movie had memorable moments...Like when Bond escaped in a small airplane in OCTOPUSSY...

Kim Basinger vs Maud Adams? I think that Maud Adams was better than Alec Baldwin's ex-wife..

Another battle ended up with the 1967 comedy parody Casino Royale and the serious one later. I make no apologies for liking the 1967 one and the related What’s New, Pussycat.

Actually there was an earlier TV version on CBS in 1954 starring Barry Nelson, for which Ian Fleming was paid $1,000. “Climax! Casino Royale.”


The 1967 film trailer....

In 1999, Eon picked up the rights to the Casino Royale novel after a lawsuit between MGM and Sony Pictures ended as part of a trade deal that saw Sony acquiring MGM’s interest in the Spider-Man film rights.

What about the Bond movie Casino Royale that starred David Niven?

What I don’t appreciate is the Broccolis numbering their Bond films as James Bond 26 etc. That doesn’t include Never or the first Casino Royale. So the next film will be 28, not 26. How can you not count a Bond film with Connery as bond?

Maud Adams was in a few other Bond films- The Man With the Golden Gun for one.

I always liked Roger Moore than most and thought Octopussy was a very underrated Bond movie. Never Say Never was okay but overall it was a poor rip-off of Thunderball. Connery looked old in that flick and should’ve given it up after Diamonds are Forever- which i thought was great.

The Bond films are still amazing...however, I think Live and Let Die was the best film. Of course, my Dad had to stop me from jumping our Glastron over the road. 🤓 The road separated two lakes...

Also Jane Seymour was easy on my eyes...still is...
