I was reading about Daniel Craig, the actor who has taken over the role of James Bond and it started me thinking about the old Bond films and how bizarre some of their titles were. So much so in fact, that someone who was completely unfamiliar with the 007 movies could easily be excused for thinking that…Goldfinger is a comedy about the world’s richest proctologist
Octopussy is a porno film for people with a fetish for cephalopods
Moonraker is a documentary about smuggling illegal immigrants into space
The Man with the Golden Gun is a cautionary tale about someone who knows much more about accumulating wealth than he does the manufacturing of quality firearms
Dr. No is about US physicians who oppose socialized medicine
You Only Live Twice is about some kind of abridged, Reader’s Digest version of reincarnation
The Spy Who Loved Me is a CIA recruitment film
Thunderball doesn’t even sound like a film title as much as it does a really painful testicular condition
Well, if all that doesn’t get Ian Fleming spinning in his grave, I don’t what will.

Harrumph. Bond is sacred. Sacred!!
Okay...so that's always my thought when I think of the title Octopussy but still...sacred!
The Man With the Golden Gun... love your little trailer more than the original. Makes more sense.
PS: Are you wearing underwear right now?
Jenna- Sacred, eh? OK, but I draw the line at calling him Saint 007.
Sher- Thank you, and yes I am...backwards for luck of course, but still wearing them.
I've always thought that For Your Eyes Only sounded like a training film for opticians. Whereas GoldenEye could well have been the opticians' equivalent to the Oscars.
Anyway: good stuff.
Fanton- Thanks, I had completely forgotten about GoldenEye!
I have severe thunderballs!
There's a Bond movie called Thunderball?
I respect you as a fine purveyor of nonsense, DriveBy, but that one's funny all by itself!
You know. Great work otherwise.
*shuffles away*
Jaesoreal- Did you say thunderballs? I think that might be a whole other topic.
Foodaddy- I agree, that is funny, and on top of that, the theme song was sung by Tom Jones...I bet he loves having that on his resume.
Great stuff, drive-by blogger!
Let's see: You Only Live Twice and the Postman Rings Twice each time? Would that take four Thunderballs? Sorry! That's the best I could come up with.
Great humor here!
I agree with Jenna, I'm a huge Bond fan hehe, but still, very funny post. You have a very cool blog, thanks for visiting mine, hope you liked it and will visit again ^^ feel free to leave a comment if you find anything interesting.
