10 Cringe-Worthy But Iconic James Bond One-Liners

The name is Bond... James Bond. With secret agent 007 celebrating his 50th anniversary this year, it is safe to say we are all familiar with the dangerously dashing spy who is arguably represented as the epitome of modern masculinity.

10. "Well, I'm an early riser myself"

A View To A Kill (1985)Roger Moore as James Bond Whether you're a Bond-o-holic or you've only seen one of the well-known spy flicks, it is fair to say the screenplays (especially the earlier ones) have 'innuendo' scribbled all over... As James Bond also knows how to handle his puns... In 'A View To A Kill' (the last of Roger Moore's performances as Bond), he is greeted and escorted by villainous vixen Jenny Flex (played by actress/model Alison Doody) at psychopathic Zorin's (Christopher Walken) French château for the horse sale.

Jenny Flex: "Yes, I love an early morning ride." James Bond: "Well, I'm an early riser myself." It is clear that Mr. Bond is insinuating that he is quite the... erm... stallion... himself.

As a one-of-a-kind twenty-something film fanatic and culture vulture... I have a 1st Class Honours degree in English Literature with Film Studies & Media Cultures. Along with recently completing MA by Research in Film Studies, I aspire to be a film critic and yearn for the opportunity to roll around on the red carpet (with or without Christian Bale in his Batsuit). Always openly embracing films of all genres and nations, although anything Studio Ghibli related will always have a place in my heart. Believes normality is overrated!
