Rebecca ass is shockingly tame for old James Bond

Pussy Galore is unironically a character name in Goldfinger (1964)

Bonus fun fact: In the original book Pussy Galore is a lesbian who who gets raped straight by James Bond's magical penis.

One of the films (Thunderball maybe) starts with him raping a nurse.

[–] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 6 months ago

Thats pretty much how it happens in the film too.

I like that, even in-universe, in 1964, Bond's first reaction to that name is "I must be dreaming". So it's not like the filmmakers weren't aware of how absurd that name is. They just didn't give a shit.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I never read them, but the filmakers were just adapting books by Ian Fleming into movies after they found out how successful they were doing. 50 shades of grey was based off a Fan Fiction novel wasn't it? And those movies came out what I would consider recently.

I think mainstream media just converted Bond into an Icon that was supposed to be more upstanding than he originally was meant to be.

The lastest plays on Bond were the Kingsman. Where a princess tells the main character he can fuck her in the asshole if he saves the world, and he just basically says brb.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 19 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, but book Bond and movie Bond are two rather different Bonds. I think Timothy Dalton probably got closest to depicting the literary Bond onscreen, but in so many words: the books are a fair bit darker in tone than some of the movies, and secondly (something Dalton thankfully did not channel), they're exceedingly racist. Yes, even more racist than You Only Live Twice let's-make-Sean-Connery-Japanese racism. One chapter of Live and Let Die set in Harlem NY is titled, I shit you not, "[n-word] Heaven".

Connery was the one they asked if he slapped his wife around and responded something like your damn right I did, and if you ask her, she'll tell you she deserved it. The public was fine with that response, and Fleming wrote the Bond series years before. I looked it up to double check, Fleming was born 12 years before Women got the right to vote. And he died around the time the Jim Crow laws were abolished. Racism and Sexism were likely very prevelant in his life.

James Bond: The name's Bond. James Bond.

Xenia Onatopp: Xenia Sergeyevna Onatopp.

James Bond: Onatopp?

Xenia Onatopp: Onatopp

There was a movie named Octopussy

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I thought that's the one Pussy Galore is in?

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Pussy Galore was in Goldfinger.

[–] some_dude@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

Strike that. Reverse it.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, the name of the character is just Octopussy.

Presumably she has like eight of them down there. One for every day of the week, and a bonus for special occasions.

Aside from Pussy Galore, another favorite inappropriate Bond moment I enjoy is from The Man with the Golden Gun. Bond approaches an Asian woman skinny dipping in a pool and asks her for her name.

She responds: "Chew Mee"

Bond: "Really!?...."

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This one is kinda funny tho

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

Sometimes I wonder if all the James Bonds are the same person, or if "James Bond" is like "The Dread Pirate Roberts".

Poor fella lost his wife on his wedding day. He has loads of trama of his own.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service the second actor to play the role gets beaten up, after which he says "this never happened to the other guy!"

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Do with that what you will..

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

I think they're all the same.

In Evil Genius 2, John Steele becomes that though.
