James Bond (Daniel Craig) casually walks high above the Day of the Dead parade in the opening sequence of Spectre (2015)
Easily one of the top five Bond movie opening sequences ever, am I right?!

In this scene from Dr. No (1962), James Bond (Sean Connery) does his best crime scene investigator impression, and let’s just say – an episode of C.S.I. or The First 48 it is not.

James Bond (Sean Connery) mentions this weird item in a saying I’ve never heard of in Diamonds Are Forever (1971).
Leading up to this quote, Bond is gassed and captured by Blofeld after breaking into his penthouse. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd get a second shot of disposing of James Bond (hence their “try, try again” musing), transporting an unconscious 007 to a desert construction site.
