From Dr No to Die Another Day, deep faking for consistency, which film(s) would stand out for each original series actor?


I was discussing the other day how we are now probably very close to the day when you can log into your streaming service and select a Bond film to watch with your own particular favourite Bond actor playing the part, with their face and voice seamlessly integrated.

This means you could go straight through from Dr No to Die Another Day watching the series with Sir Sean if that was your preference.

If you did so, which film would stick out most like a sore thumb for each actor playing Bond right through?

For me, I'd probably go:-

Connery:- Octopussy
Moore:- License To Kill
Dalton:- Moonraker
Brosnan:- From Russia With Love

Not bothering with Lazenby as only one film, which is itself a bit of an outlier. But still, the day will come when you can watch him starring in them all!

Well the best use would be Connery in OHMSS , and maybe Moore in DAF and TLD (as both are abit 'Moore-esque'), Dalton in Goldeneye (as it felt like it was written for him), and maybe Bronson could do Casino Royale (if remove scenes that say its his first mission) but I guess you could have any Bond (deaged) to fit Casino Royale (although you'd know it would be impossible as they weren't young enough at the time)

You've gone with the inverse of what I was saying by giving their best film.

Moore in The Living Daylights would definitely be his best fit - especially if they got the flying carpet scene back in!

Not sure about Connery in OHMSS though. I nearly listed that as his worst fit but then started picturing Sir Sean in a clown costume and thought that'd probably be a bridge too far for him 😂...

But I'm not sure I'd buy his romantic chops for OHMSS though. I'm always glad when I watch that film that isn't Connery.
