Are they bad or what?
The St. John Smith that he mispronounces horridly
then there's James Stock, get it?? sheeeesh
and then when he tells the Pepper wanna be sheriff that his real name is Bond.....oh my these really show some age...anyone else agree?
these are just not as good as some earlier cover names...

[Friedrich Baxter]

I think Mr. en Mrs. Somerset (FRWL) were very good cover names. I also like Robert Sterling (TSWLM).
Mikael Arkov was not a usual covername, because MI6 didn't gave it to him. THAT'S the poorest covername.
Mr. Van Beere is again much better.

[RITZ]

I agree, the cover names were poor. They should have used a name like "JAMES BOLDMAN", like one of the books. Plus.....the clothes they gave him to wear were awful! A 57 year old Roger in a leather jacket?........please!
But then again it was 1985.

[Mister Asterix]

I have to agree with Freemo.
'Sinjon' is a proper pronunciation of St. John. And, for me, the name St. John Smythe was a slight, clever nod to Roger's years as The Saint.

The St. John Smythe that he mispronounces horridly

No way, I love the old "Sin jon" way of pronouncing it, it suited his cover story. Whats more unusual is that he can't use "Bond", like he's a celerbity.

"You just killed James Bond ?"

The sign of a good secret agent.

That scene in DAF has always bothered me.

wasnt bond impersonating mr van beere? so techinally MI6 didnt give him that cover name either.

I actually love his cover name James St. John Smythe ..

it is typical Roger .. always messing with people.. plus it sounds cool as hell.. to not just say "John Smith".. which is sooo typical..

Roger put a twist to it .. plus he must be cocky with it

[BONDFINESSE 007]

james st. john smythe was cool, what was even better was hearing scarpine try and pernounce it, i laugh every time at that, and then bond corrects him

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

I totally agree.. I laugh my azz off.. everytime I see Roger act so smug and cocky.. when he says that name james st. john smythe ..

Roger busted more peoples balls then any other Bond Actor combined

every movie it is messing with someone it seems

:cool:

I liked the way Roger mentioned fly fishing to Zorin. The reaction he got from Zorin was classic.

[SPECTRE No. 7]

I actually think that the cover names here are pretty good. James Stock is a little bland....ok, a lot bland, but appropriate for a non-descript journalist. St. John Smythe is, however, a ripper of a name. It gave Rog the opportunity to indulge in some petty one-upmanship and perfectly suited the type of "i-have-a-lot-of-money-to-throw-around" type of character he was impersonating.

[DLibrasnow]

I also thought the cover names in AVTAK were excellent and very appropriate for the character 007 was portraying at a particular instance.
