I like the Brosnan One and Onlies thread, so how about one for Lazenby?


Only Bond to be married.

Only Bond to cry? (did Craig cry in CR?)

First bond to ski.

[HH007]

Only Bond to cry? (did Craig cry in CR?)

Sort of. When Vesper died.

[doublenoughtspy]

First Bond to use a machine gun.

[HH007]

Only Bond to wear a kilt.

[BoogieBond]

First(and only) Bond to be under 30 during filming.

[solace]

Only time we see bond in his office - I think?

[dodge]

First Bond film to feature a shot in the rain: that glorious shot of Laz at the window, remembering Tracy's kidnapping.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Only time we see bond in his office - I think?

Nope; DAD did that, also.

[Mister Asterix]

Only time we see bond in his office - I think?

Nope; DAD did that, also.

Actually, no, in Die Another Day Bond was not in his office; he was in Q-Branch using the virtual reality trainer thingy.

[Unit II]

First Bond to have a dwarf featured in the same film.

Only Bond to utilize a bobsled.



First Bond to have a brawl on a beach?

First Bond to throw a knife?

First Bond to use a machine gun.

While I very much doubt that you're wrong on this, doesn't Connery use one in YOLT? Oh, well, guess not.

Here's one: Lazenby was the first Bond to directly address the audience.

But not the only one. Can you guess who else may have done so? Clue: I'm not necessarily thinking of addressing with words.

Here's the answer, but have a little think first and see if you can get it:

Spoiler

Connery winking at the camera (and, thus, at the viewer) at the end of NSNA.

[singer]

First Bond with huge ears(DC being the second)

I'm glad I'm a NSNA fan, then...

Only trained martial artist to ever fill Bond's shoes.

The only Bond to enjoy deliciously casual sex with a couple of girls in one evening...then line up several more.

[Piz Gloria 1969]

There was a bobsleigh scene in FYEO too....not Bond driving it but still....

[dodge]

Only Laz never went topless. And of all the Bonds before CraigBond, he was the fittest: his ripped six-pack in The Universal Soldier will take your breath away. We see a fleeting glimpse of LazBond's shoulders and upper chest, then the wildest of all the Bonds is discreetly veiled.

Why, I wonder--why, why. Not even the greatest LAz expert alive, DoubleNought, has dared attempt to answer this.

[doublenoughtspy]

The wet tuxedo shirt in the pre-credit sequence was as closest as we got. But plenty of publicity shots of him shirtless exist.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Laz was the first Bond after Connery.
