Being a fan of James Bond I am curious what you thought of the movie?
It's technically not part of the James Bond Movie set and is a "remake" of Thunderball.
I always enjoyed the original Thunderball verses Never Say Never Again. The director of this movie
is the director of my favorite Star Wars Film "The Empire Strikes Back".
Fun Fact: The motorcycle stunts were all done by Connery himself. Or so I was told.
For instance Kim Basinger(same age as her-both born in the same year) peer like Kath Soucie.
Besides LeoTCK remembers still timeline of where Sean Connery didn’t portray role of agent 007 James Bond.
About 1,000 candidates applied to play Bond in the film, including one whose real name was James Bond.
Ian Fleming wanted his cousin, Christopher Lee, to play Agent 007. Others considered for the role of James Bond were: Stephen Boyd, Trevor Howard, Rex Harrison, Richard Johnson, William Franklyn, Stanley Baker, Barry Nelson, Ian Hendry and Richard Burton. Cary Grant was the first to be offered the role, while Steve Reeves, Richard Todd and Patrick McGoohan turned down the opportunity to play the role. The role was ultimately given to Sean Connery.
At the very beginning, the role of Sylvia Trench was offered to actress Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny.
Actress Eunice Gayson was auditioned for the role of Moneypenny.
Guy Hamilton, Guy Green and Ken Hughes were the directors who were originally offered to direct the film. But everyone refused.
Max von Sydow refused to play Dr. No in favor of playing Jesus Christ in "The Greatest Story."
Ian Fleming suggested the role of Dr. No to Noel Coward. However, he refused, sending the author a telegram saying "Dr. No? No! No! No!". One reason was that he would have to wear metal arms.
Anita Ekberg was considered for the role of Honey Ryder.
Marguerite LeWars was originally cast as Miss Taro.
Julie Christie was close to playing Honey Ryder. However, producer Albert R. Broccoli decided that her breasts were too small for the role.
Bernard Lee landed the role of M just one day before filming began. According to Terence Young's memoirs, no other actor was able to come to the set at that time.
When Bond blows the talc off his briefcase to check that no one has tried to open it, he places the briefcase on the table with the perfume bottles on it. However, in the next shot the bottles turn into newspaper.
When Taro invites Bond to his house, he gives the address 239 Magenta Drive, but when Bond later orders a taxi, he gives the address 2171 Magenta Drive.
When Bond enters Moneypenny's office, he hangs his hat so that it faces the door. However, when he enters M's office, the hat is hanging backwards from before.
At the beginning of the film, Bond trades his Beretta for a Walther PPK. However, when he kills Dent, he uses a Browning 1910, and when he shoots the mechanical dragon on Dr. No's island, he uses a .45 Colt.
When Bond stabs one of Dr. No's guards, he doesn't bleed at all.
When the Chinese singer Lounge starts singing, his mouth does not move.
The car chase towards Mrs. Taro's house takes place on a gravel road, but the sound of screeching tires is heard, which is impossible.
John Kitzmiller is introduced in the end credits as "John Kitzmuller".
In the scene where Bond meets M, the director general of British intelligence says that he is the head of "MI7". However, his mouth utters the words 'MI6'. This is due to the later dubbing before the film's premiere. Interestingly, in an earlier scene, the radio operator described the name of the British intelligence service as 'MI6'.
In the Blu-ray release of the film, the framing was changed, revealing another error. In the scene in which 007 receives the Walther PPK, you can notice that his previous pistol (Beretta) is lying on a tray with documents, and Sean Connery, who plays this character, takes only the gun box with him and leaves, heading for the door. In the next shot, the Beretta and the box are in the actor's hands.
Filming took place in Kingston, Ocho Rios, Falmouth, Port Royal, Saint Ann's Bay, Montego Bay, Oracabessa, the Blue Mountains, the Roaring, Rolling and White Rivers (Jamaica), London and Iver Heath (England, Great Britain) and in Trinidad (Trinidad and Tobago).
Operation Thunderbolt was initially intended to be the first James Bond film. However, an argument with a co-author led to Dr. No became the first film about the adventures of agent 007.
Sean Connery has a terrible fear of spiders. The scene with the spider in the bed was initially shot with a glass window separating him and the spider. Since the scene didn't go very well, it was decided to use a body double for Bob Simmons.
When the film was released in cinemas in Italy, the Vatican issued a special statement expressing its disapproval of the film's immoral tone.
The scene in which Honey Ryder is waiting for Bond in his room with a bottle of champagne was deleted from the film.
In Japan, posters were initially printed with the title of the film "We Don't Want the Doctor" because the title "Doctor No" was misunderstood. The error was corrected at the last minute.
The film was shot from January 16 to March 30, 1962.
As far as I remember as far as I know that initially it was originally planned that after release of Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace I think it was after Casino Royale before Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig signed contract for 8 movies about agent 007 James Bond movies.
He portrayed a role of James Bond in since Casino Royale,Quantum of Solace,Skyfall,Spectre,No Time To Die. But I don’t remember the name of the website. Maybe there’s something in 007 James Bond related wikia. So this means anyway that those were five movies in which Daniel Craig portrayed role of James Bond.
