The Daniel Craig introspective James Bond should be over. We know where he came from. We know how he got here. Now let’s have a true, formulaic James Bond movie in the Craig era.

James Bond (George Lazenby) returns to his suite only to face hand-to-hand combat in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

Gate crasher

Ouch! This stunt had to have hurt George Lazenby at the start of this fight sequence from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969). Maybe a concussion? Whiplash?

After Bond returns to his suite 423 to see Tracy, he quickly finds himself in the middle of a fight and expertly jumps right in. Although the fight is a bit clunky and has that 1960’s sped-up feel (I guess they did that for effect back in those days), I do like the end where the defeated henchman shows signs of life but quickly gives back up and passes out. The decor and post -filled pony walls in this scene are an eyesore, like a lot of the visuals from this time period and movie, and I’m afraid the “gate crasher” quip falls a bit flat.

Sorry James, but not even Pierce Brosnan in The World Is Not Enough (1999) can pull off purple glasses (even x-ray ones).
