I'm sure they are. Daniel will break out in a song about how sad is to be a double oh, on a good 'ol autistic Guitar. The baddy will be a tween heart throb with an Insatiable appetite for world domination. Daniel will show his singing talent in a guitar Hero play off, for the world!!!!

Once Daniel wins he will Realise he hates the world as well so he pushes the button. Game Over Man! Game Over!

Elvis was actually into martial arts as well as being a singer.

If Elvis had been Bond, then his movies were going to reflect the Matt Helm movies. And his "Surrender to me" song was going to be played during the main titles. LOL!

Yes, that's true. If it wasn't for Bruce's demise, he would have been one of the most famous celebrities of all time. Originally George Lazenby was going to do a couple of movies with Bruce Lee, and one of them was the original Game of Death, but Bruce's sudden death changed all those plans.

George would've been an international star if he did a movie with Lee.

Lazenby did a few other kung fu flicks in the early 70s though, even if he couldn't do one with Bruce Lee.

Hong Kong-Australian co-production The Man From Hong Kong with kung fu star Wang Yu.

Stoner with kung fu queen Angela Mao.

Image

Freeze Bomb with Jim Kelly (from Enter the Dragon) and Harold "Oddjob" Sakata.

And Lee was going to be in TMWTGG ... this probably isn't a rumor, since his star was already rapidly rising. Yeh, if Lazenby did a film with Lee it would have been high quality. It's said that Lee was the actual director of Enter the Dragon ... not only directing the fight scenes but the overall look of the picture. And you can certainly see it when comparing the director Robert Clouse's latter works. I did catch the Man from Hong Kong, and it has a Bonded credits shot of soaring Hong Kong / hanglider with a Bondish theme song!

It's a shame that we did not get to see Bruce Lee make some classic action films in the 80's. It's also a shame that Colonel Tom Parker chained Elvis to a stage in Las Vegas and prevented him from doing some different types of acting roles.
Bring back Bond!
