Roger Moore, the third actor to play James Bond on the big screen, recently passed away this past Tuesday, May 23. Over the years, I have heard countless fans state that he was THE worst Bond. I can understand the criticism. Compared to Sean Connery and Daniel Craig, Moore's Bond was a little too laid back when he was in the face of danger. There were times where he spoke to the villains in a gentle voice, as if they were his friends. However, I have to confess that I have always enjoyed the Bond films, no matter who was in the role. Roger Moore is certainly no exception. I feel that the action sequences, gadgets and fellow actors were usually more impressive than Moore's portrayal. And yet the actor's presence in 7 Bond adventures still made an impression on me. Here was this suave, debonair secret agent who always had his tongue firmly in cheek. Moore was cool whenever he would perform a fight scene and then follow up with a one-liner. Here are ten smart-ass comments to remember the world of James Bond through the eyes of Moore.
