50 years of Bond... every death listed
 
I am a big fan, thought this was well worth a share.

Pierce Bond killed a lot of Russians in Golden Eye. Explains his ridiculous body count. Awesome find.

I think in Dr. NO , there was a nice looking woman, but she was evil. Anyone know her name? She looks a bit Asian.

Does the movie itself count as a death in Moonraker?

Incomplete list. Doesn't include Never Say Never Again.

It states in the article.
"Argument reigns, for example, over whether Sean Connery's 1983 Never Say Never Again is actually a real Bond film at all: it wasn't made by Eon Productions, which has produced the films out of Pinewood since 1962. There was also the 'first' Bond film: Casino Royale in 1954 (which had Barry Nelson playing Bond as, gulp, American) and another Casino Royale in swinging 1967, starring Peter Sellers, David Niven and Woody Allen."

No list does. It wasn't an EON production. It also doesn't include the 1967 Casino Royale.

That's stupid. The era of producer-driven cinema ended in the 50s. No one cares what studio produces a movie anymore (you probably couldn't name the studio that produced most of your favorite movies), why should it matter here?

It's still a Bond film. It's better than most other Bond films and it stars the best Bond of them all. It should be on the list.

Nope, because it falls outside the official continuity. Also, it's a remake of Thunderball.

It's an OK decent Bond film, hardly one of the best, but it just doesn't count, just like Caravan of Courage isn't a real Star Wars film.

And Goldeneye somehow manages to fall in the "official" continuity because Broccoli's name appears in the credits...

Casino Royale is also a remake.

If we were being strict about this, I'd say any Bond film not based on an Ian Fleming novel should not be considered canon.
