10/10 Shaken, not stirred. Every James Bond has, at one point or another, specified that he prefers his vodka martinis shaken, not stirred, and it stands as the character's most iconic line.
What's the quote M reads for Bond's eulogy? "The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
He makes one last call to Madeleine telling her that she and their daughter will be safe and that she has “all the time in the world,” a callback to his words to her at the beginning of the movie (which itself is a callback to the tragic death of James Bond's wife Tracy Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service).
James Bond is a British literary and film character. He is often depicted as a peerless spy, notorious womanizer, and masculine icon. He is also designated as agent 007 (always articulated as “double-oh-seven”) in the British Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6.
Why is James Bond known as agent 007 and not any other number (like 008 or something else? Fictional MI6 agent James Bond possesses the Licence to Kill which is why he is a '00' agent. The '7' means Bond is the seventh agent to receive this title.
In the first novel, Casino Royale, and the 2006 film adaptation, the 00 concept is introduced and, in Bond's words, means "that you've had to kill a chap in cold blood in the course of some assignment". Bond's 00 number (007) was awarded to him because he twice killed in fulfilling assignments.
1/8 Sean Connery
There's almost nothing else that can be said about Sean Connery's legendary run as 007. Connery originated the character's mainstream franchise in the '60s, and his run features many of its most iconic moments.
Continuity. When Bond enters his password in the casino, he enters 836547. He later gives the password as VESPER, which on an alpha-numeric keypad would be 837737.
Dr.
As Sean Connery lights his cigarette, he says his name is "Bond..." He closes his lighter, "James Bond." Not only is it one of the first lines of James Bond but it is the first clear look at the character's face in the franchise.
The main female lead here is the formidable M (Judi Dench), Bond's boss and the head of MI6. M is referred to by her agents as "Mum," and Skyfall is—very atypically for a Bond film—focused not only on women as sex objects, but also on women as mothers.
M is a codename held by a number of fictional characters in Ian Fleming's James Bond book and film series; the characters are the current or past Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, the agency known as MI6. Fleming based the character on a number of people he knew who commanded sections of British intelligence.
Unfortunately, M dies from a gunshot wound—not even from Silva. Quite an ignominious way to go after such a dramatic struggle. But M gives Bond a quantum of solace, if you will, with her final words. She looks at him and says, "I did get one thing right."
Daniel Craig added, “I wanted people to believe it was me doing those stunts. However, after Spectre, I genuinely felt like I couldn't do that anymore. I felt like, 'What was the point?' ” He continued, “Also, it's at least a year out of my life away from home.
As the former 007 reflects at Vesper's tomb, he retrieves a piece of paper from his pocket. Bond had written the words "I miss you," which he then sets on fire and tosses in front of Vesper's tomb. This significant moment not only confirms that Vesper was Bond's greatest love.
James Bond's family motto is 'Orbis non sufficit' Or… Roll credits! Yup, there it is on the Bond family crest, introduced in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
M is the head of MI6 and stands for for "Missions" – to identify that the incumbent is the head of the Missions Department. M is not one character, but rather a role that has been held by various characters across the 25 films.
Armed with an out-of-this-world suaveness for 'shaken, not stirred' martini's, Sean Connery is without question the greatest of all-time (GOAT) when it comes to James Bond.
Actor Roger Moore is considered the longest-serving James Bond, appearing in seven films from 1973 to 1985: Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981), Octopussy (1983), A View to a Kill (1985).
Some historians link the 00 designations to Fleming's World War II service as a real-life Naval officer working in British military intelligence in the 1940s. Fleming worked as the assistant to Rear Admiral John Godfrey, who is believed to be the inspiration for 'M'.
Bond is fluent in French, Italian, German and Russian, is handy with Greek, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese, and has a degree in Oriental languages. He also knows how to say 'where is the library' in English. Bond was 38 when he became a 00 agent.
