The Friday Link for 10/8/21

This week we celebrate the return of James Bond to movie theaters with 'No Time to Die,' the 5th and final outing for Daniel Craig as the British spy. 

This afternoon on my radio show we talked Bond for the final half hour and I came to the realization I'm a much larger fan of the franchise than I realized.  Everyone has their own favorite, but I really liked Roger Moore's Bond, followed by Craig's. 

My favorite Bond movie is For Your Eyes Only.  Sure it's cheeky at points, but it felt like a real spy movie and the rock climbing scene at the end is great. 

I'll start tonight's clips with what I think is the best stunt ever done in a Bond film, the 18 wheeler up on its side wheels as a rocket flies underneath it from License to Kill.  

For best action sequences, let's start with my third favorite, the fight on top of the Golden Gate Bridge in A View to A Kill. 


Second for me is the parkour chase scene in 2006's Casino Royale, which set the tone for the Daniel Craig Bond. 


But I think the best action sequence from all the films was the tank chase scene from Goldeneye. 


Also tonight, enjoy a run down of all the Bond themes. 


And finally tonight, what I think is the best Bond theme of them all, A View to a Kill from Duran Duran. 


Stay safe.

PLEASE get vaccinated.  PLEASE wear a mask.

Have a great weekend everyone.
