When has Bond been a sissy (I'm being a bit tongue in cheek here). I realized that there have been a few moments when Bond has seemed, well, a bit like a sissy.

I mean would you...

1. Wear a terry cloth baby blue jumper like Connery in GF?
2. Wear a clown suit like Moore in OP?
3. Scream like a baby when you hit the ground at a Caviar factory like Brosnan in TWINE? (OK, maybe)
4. Get beat up by two girls like Connery in DAF?
5. Make quiche in San Francisco like Moore in AVTAK?

So, when do you think Bond needed to toughen up a bit more and be a man?

In TND when he puts his hand on the dragon hand, the flame comes out and he lets out that little sissy whine or whatever you call it.

1. Wear a terry cloth baby blue jumper like Connery in GF?

In 1964? Definitely. Now? Umm, I better not say

2. Wear a clown suit like Moore in OP?

If the situation called for it. Can't think of a good situation though.

Not sissy though. Looking at clowns is tough enough, actually being one is just wow.

3. Scream like a baby when you hit the ground at a Caviar factory like Brosnan in TWINE? (OK, maybe)

Probably not I have a good history of not screaming at surprising times. Yeah, get me.

4. Get beat up by two girls like Connery in DAF?

Well, some people seem to get a tremendous amount of enjoyment out of that sort of thing...

5. Make quiche in San Francisco like Moore in AVTAK?

No. But only because I don't want to give anyone food poisoning.

He lets out another one when he's caught on the cables after falling from the balloon in the TWINE PTS.

I don't know if I would call that "sissy", just bad fashion choice. Of course it does appear to be the "pajama coat" that Bond was so fond of in the books.

Sweating before meeting Dr No.

naaaaa, he just had sweaty hand because Honey was so HOT! He just told her he was scared too

[Daddy Bond]

Again, the "sissy" part is a bit tongue in cheek.

[Eurospy]

Grrrr... making a darn fine quiche makes one a sissy?!...

I know that Moore fans love Clown-Bond (and I did avoid posting this reference in another thread concerning shocking moments), but no matter how one justifies it within plot, he still looks a bit like a, er... clown?...

On the other hand, clowns always scared the living daylights out of me when I was an infant.

[Turn]

For most of the length of TWINE.

The title sequence of DAD...take that torturing like a real man!

1. Wear a terry cloth baby blue jumper like Connery in GF?

I wouldn't wear it today but I think Connery looked cool in it in 1964.

And am I the only one here who doesn't think Bond was a sissy in The World is not Enough? I love Brosnan's James Bond!

These are supposed to be acts of a sissy? I didn't realize that to be a man or a woman, one has to conform to certain kinds of behavior.

I never understood the furor over Bond disguising himself as a clown in order to get past the U.S. Air Force guards and stop a bomb. I just find this protest against the disguise as utterly shallow.

I think it was the clothes.

Answer:

Yes, they do. Didn't you know that???



OK, I'm going to add another one...

The pink tie in DAF.

lol, I'm not suprised he was screaming. I would be too. His shoulder injury looked very painfull.

Not sure the word "sissy" is very nice.

A man very sure of himself as "a man" - by which one has to assume a rootin'-tootin' heterosexual rather than, say, a homosexual because a homosexual isn't a man but, I dunno, some sort of cauliflower - wouldn't worry about any of those five things, surely?

I'm not sure this thread is doing anything but expose prejudice. Evidently, the act of a "man".

Grr. Beer. Women. Grr. Fightin'. Grr. etc. How very butch.

I guess he was still feeling the pain from his earlier injury after playing with the baloon.

See, another sissy thing, playing with multi-colored balloons.

Concerning you first point, this is thread IS supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek.

Concerning your second point, just my quite personal opinion, not an outright protest. I don't agree with you, you don't agree with me. Fine. I don't find your opinion shallow, feel free to think the opposite of mine.

[marktmurphy]

He sicks up when he finds a spider in his bed in Dr No. Blouse.
Similarily, Bond practically fills his pants when a monkey pops up on Gibraltar. Purse.

LOL, yeah. Yet he's perfectly contained when a Bengal Tiger jumps out at him randomly in an Indian rainforest.

You're not alone mate!

Everyone would scream like that if he fell from a height of 20 feet on a really hard surface and suffered an disjointment!

[Ozzman313]

Well I've fallen 9 feet straight on my back into hard pavement and didn't cry once, may have blacked out for a moment though....important lesson I learned was never casually lean over a railing!

[Ozzman313]

Also getting a good chunk of the front my left knee ripped out from falling onto rocks playing football, I didn't even know I was missing anything till someone pointed it out! It didn't hurt but I sure was ing pissed at injuring myself on the 2nd day of school...then having to get driven 40 miles to the nearest ER didn't help!

Hey, Superman!

[Hitmonk]

Making quiche and dressing like a clown are both fine with me, but surely Roger's finest sissy moment is when he lets two schoolgirls fight for him in MWTGG?

Also, (tongue very firmly in cheek here!) he lets a woman fly the Shuttle in Moonraker - I mean c'mon...

I think it just excited him, the dirty old man.
