    Storyline

    Edit
    James Bond 007 is Britain's top agent, and is on an exciting mission, to solve the mysterious murder of a fellow agent. The task sends him to Jamaica, where he joins forces with Quarrel and a loyal C.I.A. Agent, Felix Leiter. While dodging tarantulas, "fire breathing dragons", and a trio of assassins, known as "the three blind mice". Bond meets up with the beautiful Honey Ryder and goes face to face with the evil Dr. No. —simon_hrdng

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      All of the sets and furniture were slightly smaller than they would be in reality, so that Bond would look larger.
    • Goofs
      Annabelle breaks a flash bulb and gouges Quarrel's right cheek producing a large amount of blood. In subsequent shots there is no wound on his face.
    • Quotes

      [James Bond's first scene, winning a game of chemin-de-fer]

      James Bond: I admire your courage, Miss...?

      Sylvia Trench: Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr...?

      James Bond: Bond. James Bond.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits are a montage composed of flashing lights, dancing people and finally the three blind men walking around.
    • Alternate versions
      For the UK cinema version the BBFC made cuts to reduce the number of gunshots fired by Bond at Dent from 6 to 2, to remove blows and a knee kick during Bond's fight with the chauffeur, and to replace Dr No's line "I'm sure she will amuse the guards" with "The guards will amuse her." Most releases feature the edited print, except for a considered-legendary 1982 VHS/Betamax release, which was confirmed in 2019 to contain the uncut version of the film

    8/10
    First Connery Bond film.
    This movie was pretty good. It started off a little slow but picked up towards the end. The ending seemed just a tad rushed but all the loose ends were tied up.

    Maybe my favorite Bond girl to date. She was stunning and so natural.

    I wish they could have fleshed out Dr No a little more. They didn't say much about him. He seemed like a pretty cool villain.

    Sean Connery again is easily my favorite Bond. He was a natural for this role.
