Prior to his arrival on the scene, Brosnan was often mentioned as the best 007 since Connery. One that many might argue was rather better for eschewing many of the tropes that people connect with the series, and one that on a critical level revived a franchise that most reviewers regarded as long past its sell-by date.Ĭasino Royale also had a new 007, Daniel Craig, a muscular and rather stern-looking chap who brought a damaged determination to the role but had less of the suave flamboyance of earlier incarnations (proving that both he and Bond didn't really need it).

Maybe that’s why both are so popular in the role.That's why the best Bond movie has to be one that is abstracted from the series' heyday and all its attendant cultural gravy one that was required to succeed not just as a great Bond film, but as a great film in its own right. Daniel Craig and Sean Connery have seemingly gotten the worst of it, but that too is hardly a surprise as they both have played the part with reckless abandon at times. While some have been extraordinarily tragic, most have been fairly minor. It’s not a surprise that in a film series with so many legendary action sequences that there have been some serious injuries over the years. In a less serious injury, Daniel Craig sprained his knee while filming a fight scene Spectre, but it was fairly minor and he was back to work just a couple days later. Madden has since filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the producers of Spectre. Madden broke multiple bones and suffered other serious injuries in the accident, requiring multiple surgeries. During the filming of the most recent James Bond movie, Spectre, assistant director Terry Madden suffered a very serious injury when a truck carrying a camera skidded out of control and slammed into Madden, crushing his legs.
