And is where Austin Powers got the idea for Alotta Fagina
Dixie Normous
And Ivana Humpalot
No that's based on Xenia Onatopp
Onatopp?

How about the twins?
Bonus fun fact: In the original book Pussy Galore is a lesbian who who gets raped straight by James Bond's magical penis.
Such a romantic
One of the films (Thunderball maybe) starts with him raping a nurse.
It was a simpler time ..
😬
I like that, even in-universe, in 1964, Bond's first reaction to that name is "I must be dreaming". So it's not like the filmmakers weren't aware of how absurd that name is. They just didn't give a shit.
I never read them, but the filmakers were just adapting books by Ian Fleming into movies after they found out how successful they were doing. 50 shades of grey was based off a Fan Fiction novel wasn't it? And those movies came out what I would consider recently.
I think mainstream media just converted Bond into an Icon that was supposed to be more upstanding than he originally was meant to be.
The lastest plays on Bond were the Kingsman. Where a princess tells the main character he can fuck her in the asshole if he saves the world, and he just basically says brb.
Yeah, but book Bond and movie Bond are two rather different Bonds. I think Timothy Dalton probably got closest to depicting the literary Bond onscreen, but in so many words: the books are a fair bit darker in tone than some of the movies, and secondly (something Dalton thankfully did not channel), they're exceedingly racist. Yes, even more racist than You Only Live Twice let's-make-Sean-Connery-Japanese racism. One chapter of Live and Let Die set in Harlem NY is titled, I shit you not, "[n-word] Heaven".
Connery was the one they asked if he slapped his wife around and responded something like your damn right I did, and if you ask her, she'll tell you she deserved it. The public was fine with that response, and Fleming wrote the Bond series years before. I looked it up to double check, Fleming was born 12 years before Women got the right to vote. And he died around the time the Jim Crow laws were abolished. Racism and Sexism were likely very prevelant in his life.

James Bond: The name's Bond. James Bond.
Xenia Onatopp: Xenia Sergeyevna Onatopp.
James Bond: Onatopp?
Xenia Onatopp: Onatopp
I love a lady who enjoys pulling rank.
Apparently they wouldn't have been allowed to use that character name, except between writing the script and the studio approving it, the name had already been published by the press. So they had their community reaction to it already known, and the public expected it when the film was to be released.
There was a movie named Octopussy
I thought that's the one Pussy Galore is in?
Pussy Galore was in Goldfinger.
Strike that. Reverse it.
No, the name of the character is just Octopussy.
Presumably she has like eight of them down there. One for every day of the week, and a bonus for special occasions.

Aside from Pussy Galore, another favorite inappropriate Bond moment I enjoy is from The Man with the Golden Gun. Bond approaches an Asian woman skinny dipping in a pool and asks her for her name.
She responds: "Chew Mee"
Bond: "Really!?...."
This one is kinda funny tho
Definitely funny!
She needed to get something off her chest.
And this is why I'm not bothered by Amazon taking it over.
James Bond has always been bizarre with tone. Each Bond is different. As long as they're not as Bourne-y as Craig's then I'll be fine. But them stealing bonds quips and gadgets and women... The fuck? You made British Jason Bourne with more trauma and less of an ability to cope with it.
As long as they're not as Bourne-y as Craig's…
Yeah. The Venn diagram of good Bond has a bit of Austin Powers and Inspector Gadget overlap, not Bourne.
What do you get if you overlap the other three? deadpool maybe
The opening of casino royal is about as borne as it should get.
Craig has actually said that the serious tone was a reaction to Austin Powers existing. It was too on the nose.
Which is just cowardice
Sometimes I wonder if all the James Bonds are the same person, or if "James Bond" is like "The Dread Pirate Roberts".
Poor fella lost his wife on his wedding day. He has loads of trama of his own.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service the second actor to play the role gets beaten up, after which he says "this never happened to the other guy!"
Do with that what you will..
I think they're all the same.
In Evil Genius 2, John Steele becomes that though.
Oh my God, Becky...look at your butt.
