the name is mojo watch mojo welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 James Bond
facts you expect me to talk Mr Bond I
expect you to die for this list we’re
including interesting facts about James
Bond from across the movie franchise
however we will not be including
speculative facts about Spectre because
that’s a list for another day so what’s
going on James
they say you’re finished what do you
think I think you’re just getting
started number 10 origins of the name
thank you mister my name is bond James
Bond
after hearing as many actors as we have
say the famous words we can’t help but
associate the spies name with everything
that is cool and dashing
however this wasn’t the original
intention of Ian Fleming the author of
the Bond novels Fleming got the name for
the character from the real-life
American bird expert James Bond and one
of my Bibles idea is James Bond’s Birds
West Indies which is a very famous
honest logical book indeed Fleming who
was a bird watcher himself had read the
real-life bonds book on birds and found
his name to be dull uninteresting yet
macho at the same time and those
attributes somehow combined to make it
the perfect fit for double-oh-seven oh
I’m just here for the birds on earth
ologist number 9 Grandpa Raj he leaves
us to Maine to catch up on over time
Roger Moore had been in contention for
the bond role for years before he
actually portrayed him for a moment it
certainly looked like curtains for the
impetuous Simon Templar because of his
commitment to TV shows like the Saint he
wasn’t truly in the running until
Connery retired the first time altum
Utley it was in 1973 s Live and Let Die
that more finally made his debut as
double-oh-seven
at the age of 45 becoming the oldest
actor before or since to start playing
the part mission accom fish best Beluga
vodka rava shaken when he finally
announced his retirement following a
view to a kill he was 58 years old
having starred in seven Bond films over
the span of 12 years considering the age
of some of the ladies he courted it was
probably time to call it quits
what’s there to say number eight casting
near misses the name is James Bond there
have been dozens of actors who almost
played bond and almost as many who were
offered the role but declined it of what
use is a dream if not a blueprint for
courageous action a few names stand out
to us more than others
names like Adam West Clint Eastwood and
Burt Reynolds all three of whom rejected
the opportunity to play the iconic super
spy
Eastwood has played a great action hero
in films like Dirty Harry but he’s way
too angry to play Bond we love Adam West
but he made Batman look dorky just think
what he would have done with bond and as
for Reynolds well we can’t picture
double-oh-seven with a porn stache I’ve
been chased by the best I’m saying you
make them look like they’re all running
in slow motion
fortunately all three of them agreed
that bond should stay British punk
number 7 James Bond is Scottish son
Lloyd swim moonlight
murder employment country England Bond’s
arguably the most iconic fictional
English character of all time which is
weird since he’s actually Scottish would
you know on the end would have me
court-martialed for illegal use of
government property when Ian Fleming saw
Scottish actor Sean Connery as the
first-ever film bond in dr. no the
author decided to use that in his
writing in the novel You Only Live Twice
he not only blessed bond with more of a
sense of humor than he previously had
rule number 2 in Japan men always come
first
women come second am I just retarded
here in honor of Connery he also made a
point of saying that bond had grown up
in a rural area in Scotland and didn’t
move to England until
his teenage years just where you grew up
these British roots were later explored
more fully on screen in Skyfall bringing
the origin story full circle in that
case we’re surprised his on-screen drink
of choice isn’t Scotch stirred not
shaken that was right perfect
cheers Cheers number six Lazenby the
liar Lazenby may have only played
double-oh-seven in one film but he
definitely worked hard to land the role
with exotic big Friday August delight a
model who had never acted before Lazenby
became determined to play bond after
seeing dr. know despite his inexperience
I do believe in living dangerously I can
see that the get his foot in the door
Lazenby not only bedecked himself with
trappings befitting of bond like a
tailored suit a Rolex and a haircut from
Connery’s barber he also lied to
producers about his credentials
inventing films he’d been in and saying
they filmed in countries like Germany
Russia and Czechoslovakia so producers
couldn’t verify his claims due to the
ongoing Cold War this department is not
concerned with your personal problems
Lazenby eventually came clean during the
audition but nonetheless nabbed the part
you tell me you can’t act he said you
fooled two of the most ruthless guys
I’ve ever met in my life you’re an actor
number five double-o seven is a man war
by the numbers why can’t those guys be
more like you to be bad it’s no secret
that double-oh-seven is a bit of a
womanizer but when you actually do the
math it’s truly staggering and to be
honest we’re not sure how he gets out of
bed long enough to get any spying done
in his first 23 official films bond
bedded 55 women averaging more than two
per film I have to leave immediately
oh that’s too bad just as things were
getting interesting
this is particularly impressive
considering all these women were played
by actresses who are considered to be
some of the most beautiful of their
respective eras how do you feel sleepy
with conquests like honey rider played
by Ursula Andress Pussy Galore played by
honor Blackman and Vesper Lynd played by
evergreen it’s easy to see why every guy
wants to be James Bond number four Bond
the musical bond has always been a
symbol of masculinity and machismo
well that’s 50 thousand dollars – five
thousand for you leaves me forty five
thousand and thank you very much that’s
one reason why you might be surprised to
learn that his iconic theme music was an
adaptation of a song from a stage
musical
the man credited with composing the Bond
music monty norman had previously
adapted a novel called a house for mr.
Biswas into a musical and the soundtrack
included a song called good sign bad
sign which you’ll hear sounds uncannily
familiar bad sign go good sign
stay John Barrie rearranged the tune
jazzed it up and lost the lyrics and an
iconic theme song was born
number three pierce brosnan is the
deadliest bond it should come as no
surprise that James Bond has killed a
lot of people maybe even more than he
slept with in fact in his first 23
official movies he killed over 350
but in terms of which of the six actors
who played Bond is the most lethal
Pierce Brosnan is number one with a
bullet
in just four movies he took down
depending on how you count it between 76
and 135 bad guys this actually makes a
lot of sense when you consider the fact
that the film’s Brosnan starred in were
the most over-the-top and focused more
on special effects in action than
telling a good spy story Brosnan still
got in a few good kills though
number two bald james balled up slowly
in the face of wall sean connery is
usually considered the best and most
manly actor to ever have played bond I
have a confession to make
however what many people might not
realize is that Connery started losing
his hair at the age of 21 and was
therefore required to wear a toupee in
every Bond film he appeared in after
Connery hung up his tux for good
he appeared on screen more and more
without a piece
well we figure when he was playing the
super spy his favorite gadget was
probably his rug souvenir from another
jealous woman yes but I haven’t told my
back on one since before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions who do like to check my figures
oh I’m sure that perfectly round enough
oh you’re a legend oh boy card sense to
me bond they call you I knew you right
away I didn’t know I had that much of a
reputation
what come on shaken not stirred and for
you Sam you realize this means an angry
letter to The Times number-one bonds
been shot at a lot James Bond films ask
you to suspend disbelief but if you
thought double-oh-seven had slept with a
lot of ladies wait until you hear how
many times he stared down the barrel of
a gun nothing about the series is more
unrealistic than the fact that bond has
been shot at four thousand six hundred
and sixty two times and has lived to
tell the tale
and that’s not even counting Skyfall
which ironically is the first movie
where he suffers significant damage from
a gunshot when he’s again ironically
shot by his coworker Moneypenny of all
people take the shot take the bloody
shot
however despite being shot by a sniper’s
rifle and falling from a moving train
bond manages to survive without a doubt
no one has cheated death more than
double O 7

interesting James Bond fact well hey
