00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:03.983
Bond. James Bond

2
00:00:07.864 --> 00:00:13.906
Unforgettable. Well, today is the 50th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond film, 

3
00:00:13.978 --> 00:00:19.099
Dr. No, and to mark the occasion it's been dubbed Global James Bond Day. 

4
00:00:19.517 --> 00:00:23.426
And it comes with news that's sure to leave Bond purists shaken.

5
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:42.875
In case you missed it, James Bond swapping martinis for beer. What's the world coming to, you ask? Well, don't panic. 

6
00:00:43.372 --> 00:00:52.018
As true bond fans will know, it's actually a return to form, as in the original Ian Fleming books, Bond occasionally drinks beer. 

7
00:00:52.515 --> 00:00:59.793
And on this important day on the Bond calendar, we took the opportunity to brush up on some other Bond facts with a true connoisseur.

8
00:01:01.445 --> 00:01:02.950
What are you having, Mr. Cork?

9
00:01:03.334 --> 00:01:06.457
I'll have a vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.

10
00:01:13.495 --> 00:01:14.606
Do you expect me to talk?

11
00:01:15.831 --> 00:01:18.102
No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die!

12
00:01:18.443 --> 00:01:23.810
For me, the best Bond villain of all time is Auric Goldfinger. He's sexually obsessed with gold.

13
00:01:24.004 --> 00:01:29.541
And you would think somebody like that would be easy for James Bond to foil, but he actually gets smarter as the film goes along.

14
00:01:30.093 --> 00:01:35.689
I love you. I know I'll never find another girl like you. Will you marry me?

15
00:01:36.401 --> 00:01:39.883
The best Bond girl, Tracy, from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. 

16
00:01:40.688 --> 00:01:47.168
She's the woman that Bond marries. She has everything that you could want in a great Bond woman character. 

17
00:01:47.224 --> 00:01:56.334
She's brilliant, she's strong, she's beautiful. She's also incredibly troubled and her father happens to be one of the great crime lords of Europe.

18
00:01:56.964 --> 00:02:04.390
The best action sequence in a Bond film is one where Bond doesn't have to rely on technology -- in fact, can't rely on technology -- Casino Royale. 

19
00:02:04.517 --> 00:02:09.168
The free-running sequence, great chase, amazing leaps over a building under construction. 

20
00:02:09.509 --> 00:02:13.434
It really shows James Bond's determination, drive, guts and ingenuity.

21
00:02:13.970 --> 00:02:16.819
You'll be using this Aston Martin DB-5.

22
00:02:17.261 --> 00:02:20.219
Best James Bond car by far, Aston Martin DB-5. 

23
00:02:20.684 --> 00:02:26.343
Hand-built British sports car, cost more than most British citizens made during the course of the year when it came out. 

24
00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:30.895
And you see it not only in Gold Finger and Thunder Ball, but in all the recent Bond films, as well.

25
00:02:31.534 --> 00:02:39.682
Best James Bond moment in the franchise has to be when Bond skis off a cliff the beginning of The Spy Who Loved Me, tumbles through space, 

26
00:02:40.184 --> 00:02:45.812
everybody watching it holds their breath until the Union Jack unfurls and the James Bond theme kicks in.

27
00:02:49.824 --> 00:02:53.335
You should give up smoking. Cigarettes are very bad for your chest.

28
00:02:53.648 --> 00:02:56.165
Mr. Osato believes in a healthy chest.

29
00:02:56.864 --> 00:02:57.418
Really?

30
00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:01.963
I think all of the actors who played James Bond brought something unique to the role 

31
00:03:02.161 --> 00:03:05.684
and really brought something to the series that has kept it alive.

32
00:03:06.065 --> 00:03:10.802
My favorite, of course, is Sean Connery, who introduced the world to James Bond, made him a phenomenon.

33
00:03:11.058 --> 00:03:12.854
But a close second, Daniel Craig.

34
00:03:13.515 --> 00:03:16.476
The name is Bond, James Bond.

35
00:03:16.630 --> 00:03:24.400
I think if you were going to show one Bond film to a person who had never seen any films in the series before, Casino Royale would be that film. 

36
00:03:24.458 --> 00:03:26.054
Daniel Craig's first Bond film, 

37
00:03:26.494 --> 00:03:31.339
it has all of the elements that make the cinematic James Bond so memorable. 

38
00:03:31.437 --> 00:03:35.560
But it also has all the elements that made the Ian Fleming novels so wonderful.
