C'mon, I voted for this. Pierce Brosnan. I was going to do "favourite Bond movie", but the poll was too f****** big.

Okay, 35% for Connery, 28% for Moore, 21% for Brosnan, and 7% each for Dalton and Craig. Why no votes for George Lazenby? OHMSS is often considered one of the better Bond films. It is certainly the closest (or one of the closest) to the source material.
POP QUIZ: The movie version of Moonraker only took the name of the villain, Hugo Drax, as well as his Nazist tendencies and the fact that the Moonraker was a sort of rocket, from the original novel. However, one Bond film actually resembles the original novel closer than the original movie. And one of the women was to be named Gala Brand, after the lead female character of the novel. Guess what the movie was, and who Gala Brand eventually became in the movie.

Rosamund Pike, in the DVD commentary for the 2002 Bond film, Die Another Day, states that her character, Miranda Frost, was originally to have been named Gala Brand, but that this was changed at the last minute.
I am not aware of the novel, "Die Another Day."

I meant Die Another Day was based to a certain degree on Moonraker. A foreign warmonger ends up in England with a new identity. He corners the market in a vital substance and uses it to create an aerospace device. While he is best loved by the public, it turns out he is using the device as a weapon. The tables are turned when this weapon is used against the actual vehicle the villain is using.
