The man who started it all with his cunning skills, class, and of course his memorable charm is back. Sean Connery, the original agent 007, is back in the first volume of DVDs consisting of the first three James Bond films: Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger. Although James Bond collections have been released in the past, this is the first a collection focuses on a specific actor and has an entire bonus disc of special features for each film.
These iconic films featured many firsts for action movies including helicopter chases, fighting in trains, and many more. One of the most notable breakthroughs of these films is in From Russia with Love, it was the first film to show a scene before the title was shown. This has become a practice of nearly all genres of movies not just action films.
Although his on screen acting career is over as he is now in his eighties doing only voice overs, Sean Connery was the iconic actor of his time. With an unforgettable accent, he has done it all from Macbeth to James Bond; Connery is extremely decorated with awards including an Oscar for Best supporting actor as Jim Malone in the Untouchables. And who could forget his role as the quirky father of Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade. For avid Bond and Connery fans alike, this is a good buy for less than twenty dollars because after all he is Bond, James Bond.
