Classic Bond Forum

I was watching Enter the Dragon recently and John Saxon was quite suave in his day. Do you think he might have made a reasonable Bond?

Reminds me of Sean.

He reminds me of Sean as well, Formerbondfan.I remember reading that he thought doing Enter the Dragon was Below his usual standards yet many think it was the Best thing he ever Did.

And you guys think Craig is miscast.

Clearly out of the running.

This would have been around the time that Americans like Burt Reynolds and Adam West were being considered for Bond, though. I still think it's a terrible idea, mind. I wouldn't object if they could do a convincing British accent, but the impression that I get is that the intent was to make Bond into an American.

I'd have liked John Saxon as Bond; he is a cult actor. Although he may be short like Crag he makes up for it by being handsome and charismatic, two qualities Craig lacks.

John Saxon arrived in Hong Kong under the impression he was the star of Enter the Dragon. I suppose he didn't know much about Bruce Lee at the time.

It would interesting to see him do LALD.

He looks like guy in a lot of Magnum PIs, A-team, and other 80s shows
