Even though the best quote in the Bond franchise came from supervillain Auric Goldfinger, all the other juicy quoteshave come from Connery's Bond. The examples are plenty but here are but a few. In Goldfinger, 007 electrocutes a henchman in a bathtub then exclaims, "Shocking! Positively shocking!" And when placing the dead body of assassin Fiona Vo...
Step aside, Kenny Rogers. Your Coward Of The County lyrics might be good for parental advice but they don't apply in the world of espionage. Most of the other Bonds, including Sean Connery, did more talking than fighting. Goldfinger, which is considered one of the best Bond films of all time, has only about five fight scenes in which Connery as Bon...
Bond isn't real. He is a fictional figure, an alpha male fantasy. He roams around the world like a travel vlogger, drives an Aston Martin, sleeps with unbelievably beautiful women, never gets rejected while trying to seduce them, stays in luxurious hotels, and wears expensive suits. What more could anyone want? RELATED: James Bond: The 10 Dumbest S...
When Craig is accidentally shot by Moneypenny in Skyfall, it affects his functionality. He can no longer shoot straight. Culprits of perfection like Connery and Brosnan would have come back from the incident unscathed. No matter what beating or injury they took, they always brushed it off as if they had just been cured by the Medi-beds in Elysium. ...
While killing villains, Craig's Bond tends to settle on the ordinary action movie template of shooting or blowing them up. Where's the fun in that? Connery's Bond is different because he always adopts creativity in sending the bad guys to the afterlife. When not electrocuting henchmen, Connery is busy splashing killer waiters with alcohol so that t...
As an action hero, you have to constantly escape from villains. This means driving better than Dominic Toretto and Jeremy Clarksoncombined. Connery had some decent car chase scenes, but why did he keep on looking at the rearview mirror so much? Was it to admire the villains' vehicles? Craig always seems sure of where he is going.

No one can do it better than the pioneer. Connery set the standards for future Bonds to come. Every other post-Connery Bond has a few of his qualities. Moore has his composure, Brosnan has his seduction skills, Lazenby has his ruthlessness, and Craig has his sense of style. Connery's Bond was even selected as the third-greatest heroin movie history...
Connery was once named the Sexiest Man Alive. As a spy, he just didn't look the part. Ian Fleming even doubted Connery's casting as Bond saying, "He's not what I envisioned of James Bond looks. I'm looking for Commander Bond and not an overgrown stunt-man." Craig might not match 1960s Connery in looks but he still has a macho appearance coupled wit...
Ultimately, the numbers never lie. According to Forbes, Connery's Bond films grossed a total of 4.5 billion dollars (adjusted to inflation). Craig's films have grossed 3.6 billion. There were also fewer theaters in the '60s and '70s than there are now. RELATED: James Bond: The 5 Best (And 5 Worst) Theme Songs The critical reception for Connery has ...
Democracy wins, right? Craig has a seal of approval from every other former Bond actor except one. Moore once told Time Magazine: "I think he is the ultimate Bond." On his part, Timothy Dalton added, "There's a case to be made that Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever." Connery has also referred to Craig as "fantastic" while Brosnan used the word "ma...
