He's far inferior to Secret Agent Super Dragon.  And at least he didn't make Zardoz.

At the end of the pre-credits sequence, Bond faces the camera and says 'This never happened to the other fellow.'  Bond fans don't like to talk about it.

DaF is the worst.  I'm pretty sure that Connery was just in it to cash a check, and really isn't trying.  I don't want to list all the terrible decisions in it, so I'll just give kudos to the two things about it I like:

Yes, I don't imagine how that could work.  I work in a government bureaucracy, and I can affirm with categorical certainty that none of the secretaries will ever become the head of the bureaucracy.  Even for the Bond fantasy world, that's a bridge too far.

'Slow-moving robots'?  You've lost me.  The ski chase and mountain-climbing one could be several possibilities, including On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eye's Only, or The World Is Not Enough, but I have no idea which one has slow-moving robots.
