Big natural ones and then she had a breast reduction.
You're a virgin aren't ya?
Very simple surgery's right. I swear they just put some make-up around his eyes, dyed his wig jet black, and then put it back on the wrong way around.
Agreed. Thunderball wins for most gorgeous women in one Bond film.

Bond films are full of silly scenes. They were in the Connery era, and they have been post-Moore. That's part of their charm.
Even Daniel Craig's so-called "gritty era". In Skyfall, he gets a bullet in his shoulder and he then sorts out his cuffs on his blazer. In Spectre, Blofeld drills into his skull and a couple of minutes later he's perfectly fine.
And always remember this quote from Roger Moore himself about the films "James Bond's a spy but people all around the world know him".
Welcome to James Bond films.
I always fancied her.
It's Roger Moore's best Bond film, and in my top 5 overall.
I bet she hasn't seen her feet for years.
It looks like two bald headed convicts trying to burst out of jail.
Brosnan was awful. The worst Bond by far. Comes across like someone who should be prancing around on a catwalk or modelling underwear in a catalogue rather than being a killer.
That's not entirely true. It had a cinema release in the UK in the 70's but certain local authorities cowered down to some pressure groups and didn't show it in their areas. I would imagine it would've been taboo in many places in Northern Ireland though just because of the religious aspect.
Throughout the UK, it was a box office hit, and it was actually one of the first films to be released in the UK on home video in the early 80s and contrary to popular belief it wasn't regarded as a video nasty. But then it was banned on home video in 1988 because of the obscene child images act or something until 1999.
Some people were vomiting, having heart attacks, and some even were said to have had miscarriages upon seeing it, which resulted in some US cities calling for it to be banned.
Quantum, Die Another Day, and Diamonds Are Forever are equally the worst Bond films.
It's certainly one of them. I just wish they hadn't saturated the film with all of that yellow.
When you watch the extras, you can see that the costume designers did a great job on those Day Of The Dead outfits - making them really colourful and to individually stand out, and then in the finished film they're all washed out like that.
Great sequence though. There's a few average/mediocre Bond films that have good opening sequences. Octopussy for example.
This is the Spectre board, why are you bringing up Diamonds Are Forever?
Erm, no.
Spectre's disappointing - the yellow tint look which was completely overdone, the Bond and Blofeld childhood connection, and the contrived way that Blofeld was apparently behind all of Bond's pain, but the pre-credits sequence (again while still too yellow), and Bond's fight on the train, prevents it from being the absolute worst.
Casino Royale
Skyfall
No Time To Die
Quantum Of Solace
Spectre
I would actually rather watch Spectre than QOS but I've put it bottom because Spectre was the film that did all that contrived nonsense and tried to desperately connect all of Daniel Craig's previous Bonds and it just didn't work.
Top 5
Casino Royale
Goldfinger
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Spy Who Loved Me
Thunderball (some people hate the underwater sequences but I love them).
Yep. Casino Royale is the king of James Bond films.
