    The ultimate icon of cool and savoir faire, his sixties Bond will forever stand the test of time. As a rugged bastion of masculinity, he would be vilified by the outrage mob today. Perennial favourites of mine include The Hill (1965) and The Man Who Would Be King (1975), which display his considerable range and versatility. RIP Commander.

    For me, he was James Bond.

    Great age, great career, great life. RIP

    This case isn't ripe yet. Until it is, our policy with Mr Big is 'live and let live.

    Bond looked quizzically at Captain Dexter
    In my job,' he said, 'when I come up against a man like this one, I have another motto. It's 'live and let die'.

    Rest in Peace Sean Connery.

    Bond in Live and Let Die was Roger Moore :confused:

    Anyway, RIP Mr Connery

    If he had put his mind to it, he probably would have been a good milkman.

    Very sad news, RIP.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,979 ✭✭✭Stovepipe


    when the filming for "a Bridge too far" had started, he was talking with some of the other actors and soon found out that he was on a lower scale that most. He immediately went on strike and stayed put until his rate was renegotiated. Always knew his worth.

    Sad news. Full life of course but it's still sad to hear, he was one of those guys you sort of expected to be around forever.

    Resht in Peace Sean.

    Noooo.
    One of the greatest actors of all time.

    Sure he'll always be James Bond but for me as a kid one of the first exposures of him was playing Indy's dad in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Amazing actor.

    The hunt for Dead October

    Great actor loved him grown up from Bond to Red October to Highlander and Indy he was excellent. Will be missed

    An effortlessly sauve and charismatic actor who defied the laws of ageing and became more handsome as the years went on.

    The twinkle in his eye and the accent ... ;)

    Only sat the young lad down to watch Indiana Jones the last crusade last evening, he was great in that, the chemistry between himself and Harrison Ford made the film even better

    That movie was fabulous. I absolutely loved it. RIP Sean. Gone but never forgotten. You'll live on in your movies.

    Henry: "I'm only as human as the next man"
    Indy: "i WAS the next man!"

    Lol.

    Sad to hear the news but what a life and career.

    In honour of dear Sean, I decided to do my best scottish accent. It was all going great, until I asked her to sit on my face.

    The word legend gets thrown around a lot but that man was a legend.

    Look at this movies...

    - the Bonds (of course)
    - hunt for red October
    - Indiana Jones
    - The Rock
    - Highlander
    - The Untouchables

    Shout out to the movie Outland https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0082869/?ref_=m_nm_knf_act_i33 I remember watching it once and it wasn't bad.

    I've never watched the James Bond films but I liked him in other stuff, especially The Hill. He usually made his characters seems likeable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,242 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    "...but some of the ways he related to women now seems quite outdated, some of that can seem quite sexist...", was a comment made by a female Sky News reporter on this breaking news just now. What an inappropriate angle to take. It's Sean Connery that died, not James Bond.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,226 ✭✭✭joeysoap


    Ageless in films, when you can watch a film over and over you know the acting is first class.

    I'll be slated for this, but he could've slapped me across the face any time!

    Being serious, you need to look at his comment in the context of his age and the attitudes of the time.

    That makes me like him even more, he had his opinions and nobody was going to shame him into changing them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,360 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    Sad to see him go, probably still my favourite Bond, though Daniel Craig bought a new dimension to the role. As said above, he had a wide variety of roles, he's leaving some legacy behind.

    Only Sean Connery could get away with speaking in his Scottish accent, while every other actor spoke with a Russian accent in the The Hunt for Red October.

    Imagine how classless and pathetic it is to attack someones character on the day they die.

    Here he is speaking about what you're referring to righting his wrong.
