7-on-7: From Russia With Love trailer and poster (1963)

001. Who was the clever chap that replaced the "O" with a hammer and sickle?  (Sarcasm in italics.)

002. A submarine periscope in a basement, are you mad?

003. Having Turkey join NATO in 1952 was the ultimate in geopolitical machinations.

004. Not even the Three Gorges Dam could hold back the flood of sexual innuendos.

005. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. = SPecial Executive for Crime, Terror, Revenge and Extorion!  I prefer Inspector Gadget's nemesis organization, M.A.D. = Malevolent Agency of Destruction.

006. This movie is timeless.  It pissed off old school Communists then (for promoting decadence and materialism) and it still pisses off hard core Islamists now (for showing unveiled women, and more!).

007. Austin Powers nods: Hairy chest.  Rosa Klebb/Frau Farbissina.

7-on-7: Dr. No trailer and poster (1962)

001. 1962 was a long time ago.  In that year, Pope John XXIII excommunicated Fidel Castro, Algeria won its independence, and Ringo replaced Pete Best.

002. You know it's an old timey James Bond when the gun barrel sequence features a Bond with a hat.  (0:38)

003. The graphics intensive sequence, which probably took a team months to put together, can probably be done now in an hour by a 12 year old with a six year old Mac.  (0:54)

004. Red Stripe beer becomes the first of many product placement deals in the 007 franchise.  (1:03)

005. Why are the tires squealing on a dirt road?  (1:49)

006. Were there no English-speaking Asian or hapa actors available? (2:21)

007. Austin Powers nods: Dr. No-Dr. Evil, their Nehru jackets, their plastic contamination suits.  (2:21, 2:54)
