1. The Man With The Golden Gun was the first James Bond Movie I didn’t like. I think they were trying to capitalize on the 70′ karate army movie craze. It looked like it was trying to be both a spy and a karate movie. I remember it as missing the mark on both counts.

   Now you know.

2. Was Dr. No the first one to use that iconic shot of Bond through the barrel of a gun?

   Whichever one first did that should get bonus points.

   Yeah, I know we’re supposed to be judging the songs, not the videos, but c’mon, man. Number one.

   • Dr. No was the first James Bond theatrical release, so, yes, it was. Plus the theme mostly remained the James Bond theme music throughout the series, so extra bonus points for that.

     • Thank you! I wasn’t going to go through the whole canon to find out; I was hoping a helpful MoonNuker would enlighten me.

       Definitely deserves a point.

       As does . . .

       The guy who came up with that theme sound:

       Dum – dum- dum – dum —

       Dah Dah Dah dum!

3. Should’ve paired Billie Eilish with Herb Alpert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSEmKXzpQMQ.

   • Eilish not out yet and the first Casino Royale not considered part of the Bond series. May do a special poll for that though. Besides, it really screws with an even match format.

     • If you do a special poll for non-canon music, can you include Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers and I Kill Spies by Agent Orange?

       (I am expecting a polite but forceful “No,” but it doesn’t hurt to ask.)
