It's no secret that 007 has had his ups and downs over the past several decades, to say the very least. Throughout the years the billion-dollar film franchise must admit that there have been some occasional dull moments. Maybe even some slapstick stupid ones. In attempts to keep within his character the films have sometimes dashed to the rocks of abysmal genre conformity, giving gunpowder to propel the hellish insults of firebrand critics. However, Mr. Bond needs his vices. You cannot strip away all the elements of the dangerous, womanizing, ruthless, gamble-taking, martini-drinking, MI6 agent and still make a James Bond movie. It just wouldn't work. Old traditions die hard, especially when you're an Etonian Englishman so let the critics seethe all they want because James Bond might modernize, but as a pillar of cinema he's not going to change. He is what he is, take it or leave it and comes to the understanding that there are just some things we'll never see him do. For that matter there's some things you're never going to see in a Bond film period. Certain scenes that will never make the cut into a movie and particular motifs that will never die. Like James Bond throwing a sample of his own urine in a henchman's face to get away... Oh yeah. That did happen.
