Guy Doleman (Colonel Ross) was inThunderball.

Guy Hamilton, the director ofGoldfinger, would go on to direct the sequelFuneral In Berlin.

The movie itself is pretty spectacular, combining great visual gags with super-dry one liners.

The action, aside from an anaemic car chase, is solid.

Address your hate mail to Matt Helm.

This never happened to the other fella:Helm has an inner monologue sung by Dean Martin.

Ironically, when the character was re-launched in 1967, Drummund was re-imagined in a mould closer to Bond.

I wish I could say more, but that really sums up his contribution.

Bond connection:The cast is a whos who of minor players.

Milton Reid played one ofDr.

Directed by Italian horror master Mario Bava,Danger Diabolikis a gorgeous comic book of a movie.

At the centre of all this is master criminal Diabolik.

If there is a danger of being caught or killed, so much the better.

James Bond in the Old West and its just as much fun as it sounds.

While they verbally spar, Stengel tries to aim the cane at Sabata.

In turn, the wily gunslinger moves his wine glass and other props to disrupt his aim.

There really is no need to go on.

This never happened to the other fella:The gloriously abbreviated showdown with the swordsman.

He would go on to act as second unit director on three of the Brosnan movies.

Cinematographer Douglas Slocombe would go on to shoot Connerys unofficial return to Bondage,Never Say Never Again.

Starring Jackie Chan,Armor of Godmixes Chans penchant for insane stunts with gadgets and plenty of globe-trotting.

This turns out to be her final training mission shooting another diner in front of his bodyguards.

While her boss abandons her, Nikita has to shoot her way out through the kitchen.

Bond connection:Composer Eric Serra provided the distinctive electronic score forGoldenEye.

You almost expect Sean Connery or Roger Moore to step into frame to take over.

This never happened to the other fella:like, James Bond never failed French.

Directed by Philip Noyce,Patriot Gamesis a sophisticated mix of thriller tropes and human drama.

Millers protracted death and impalement feels like something out of a cruder, less nuanced film.

Most Bondian moment:Too many to choose from, so Ill go for something obscure.

This never happened to the other fella:Austin stuck in a small vehicle in a tight space.

This never happened to the other fella:Before the climax, Bourne makes his girlfriend leave.

Unlike Bond, he has no interest in collateral damage.

Most Bondian moment:Alex Riders first meeting with Mickey Rourkes villainous Darrius Sayle.

He cant hear the helicopter coming because he chooses that moment to turn his radio up.
