Skyfall is the latest James Bond movie which will premier on 26 October 2012
WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF JAMES BOND MUST HAVE BEEN HIBERNATING IN SOME MULU CAVES IN SARAWAK FOR THE PAST FEW DECADES.
This sexy, handsome licensed to thrill, grill and kill has gone through 6 James Bond, from Sean Connery to George Lazenby to Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and now Daniel Craig and shows no signs of abating.
And why not?
After all, when you have a surefire formula for success guaranteed to sell tickets, why tinker with it? As the wise man says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
We all know the formula; the opening scene begins with some quick, dramatic and traumatic event that ends equally chaotically and frenetically. Usually James Bond triumphs yet again but now and then he is thrown into a deep miasma. Then the opening song begins as silhouettes of sexy, hour-glassed female forms begin to, well, form as blood curdles and drips across the scene as James Bond walks into a target circle, turns sharply and fires a bullet.
There is always 2 or 3 or 4 sexy, well developed, breasty women who are either on the side of angels or evil incarnates, including one that tries to kill him by crushing him with her thunder thighs.
All the women have incredibly horny, provocative and shamelessly sexual names. What can be more vaginal and cunty than Pussy Galore (played by Honor Blackman in Goldfinger), Octopussy (played by Maud Adams in Octopussy), Dr Holly Goodhead (played by Lois Chiles in Moonraker), Mary Goodnight (played by Britt Ekland in Man With The Golden Gun), Miranda Frost (played by Rosamund Pike in Die Another Day), Kissy Suzuki (played by Mie Hama in You Only Live Twice), Paris Carver (played by Teri Hatcher in Tomorrow Never Dies), Elektra King (played by Sophie Marceau in The World Is Not Enough), Dr Christmas Jones (played by Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough) and of course Honey Ryder (played by Ursula Andress in Dr No) and it all started with this Honey who appeared in the very first James Bond movie!
Other salubrious names include Strawberry Fields (played by Gemma Arterton in Quantum of Solace), Jenny Flex (played by Alison Doody in A View To A Kill, Solitaire (played by Jane Seymour in Live And Let Die), Jinx (played by Halle Berry in Die Another Day), Plenty O'Toole and Xenia Onatopp.
Surprisingly, the only Chinky girl to be a Bond Girl, our very own Datuk Michelle Yeoh, was given a deadly boring name of Wai Ling which has baffled Bond fans. Why Wai Ling which is not a pun nor even mildly pornographic? Why not Cun Tit, Chee Bye, Chao Chibai, Pukeema, Tait Klit, Kani Nabo or Kunt
Ma or some such erotic names for which Bond script writers are justly famous?
Wai Ling indeed! What a letdown.
Francoise Therry in The Man With The Golden Gun has a sexier, cutier and funnier name Chew Mee and she was not even Chinese!
Think of Holly Goodhead giving good head, Pussy Galore showing off her cunt, Octopussy playing with her 8-sided vagina or Kissy Suzuki French kissing atop a motorbike. Or Christmas cumming every day and not just on 25 December?
Bibi Dahl in For Your Eyes Only was so called because the actress Lynn -Holly Johnson looked like a 'Baby Doll'. Honey Ryder (Dr No) likes to ride men, not horses. Xenia Onatopp (Goldeneye) likes to be on top and is her preferred sexual position.
Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever is also a sexual name as 'tool' refers to penis. James Bond even asks Plenty if she was named after her father!
In Never Say Never Again, Barbara Carrera plays Fatima Blush though she never blushes as she is so hardcore. Also in the same movie, Kim Basinger plays Domino Petachi and we all know the Domino Effect.
In Diamonds Are Forever, Jill St John plays Tiffany Case, as in a jewel box by Tiffany's, America's top jeweller. In The World Is Not Enough, Serena Scott Thomas plays Molly Warmflash and her flesh was warm and she was a flash in the pan as she has not been heard of since.
And who can ever forget May Day, the mayhem-causing black sexpot played by scandalously provocative Grace Jones whose real life antics titillated the entertainment industry in the Eighties long before Lady Gaga was born.
I think the most ridiculous name of all Bond women is Peaceful Fountains of Desire played by Filipina Rachel Grant who played the assassin posing as masseuse in Die Another Day!
We should all bid for these James Bond items as ALL money raised will go to charity, not into the pockets of Michael Wilson, Barbara Brocolli, MGM, EON Productions and Danjag!
