Sean Connery is and always will be the best and my favorite actor to portray James Bond. My favorite James Bond movie may change periodically, but I’ll always point to Connery’s iconic introduction scene from Dr. No as the true definition of James Bond. RIP.
Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz) is “shot” during the gypsy fight in From Russia With Love (1963)

Red Grant kills a James Bond stand-in that wears this creepy, pale James Bond (Sean Connery) mask in a training exercise at the beginning of From Russia With Love (1963)…something a serial killer could wear!

From Russia With Love
Bond and Kerim Bey are about to assassinate a Russian agent during a pivotal sequence in From Russia With Love (1963), when an interesting movie poster crops up in the foreground of a building:
“Harry Saltzman Albert R. Broccoli Present”? Is this another Bond movie?!
Nope, it’s a poster for Call Me Bwana (1963), the only other non-James Bond produced Eon Productions movie. It was a farce film that starred Bob Hope and Anita Ekberg. Check out its bizarre plot at its Wikipedia page. Cool huh?
*gulp* SPECTRE calls…He’s lucky he got checkmate on the next move.
