TOP 5 James Bond gambling scenes

[ChrisPop]

I do like James Bond myself as well, but if you ask me to think about gamblign movies. The first that come into my mind are "21" - you know the one where the wanna-be med uses his mathematical affinity to develop card-counting skills in order to raise money for his tuition. The second one is Rounder - poker related.

Had a look on the article you shared. Just figured out that I haven't actually watched the first 2 Bond movies aka "Dr No" and "Octopussy".

Am I the only one here who is not familiar with that scene ? The latest James Bond, Daniel Craig, lacks charisma in my opinion. That's why I wasn't able to finish any 007 film which is he is the protagonist. Don't get me wrong, the action and story is good especially since it was modern but d*amn Pierce Brosnan is still the best.

Anyway, I visit Youtube because I'm curious what kind of gambling scene is it and I find it thrilling in fairness. Bond's Straight Flush was insane, $100M+ in a glimpse ez!

We all have our preferences, I grow up with Daniel Craig as the James Bond, I do watched some Pierce Brosnan as James Bond but they seem lackluster to me even though I love films from that era.

first time to encounter a youtube video that is restricted on some country and it shows that the youtube uploader done that not the youtube itself but why would they do that ,

whats the difference of your country from another but from which country you are living ?

but you know what to do and youtube isnt the only source for that video , try converter sites and play it on there or download it . that could also fix the problem .

Converter sites are full of ads and some are hiding malicious softwares when you download there so be careful. Restricted videos are a common theme among countries that have a strict government background, maybe gambling is illegal in their country like an Arab state. If this is your first time hearing about a restricted video in Youtube, then you also should know about China, they ban Youtube entirely even though the colors of their state and Youtube matches.

Also a huge fan of Jamesbond movies too most especially to the first James Bond actor Sean Connery.

To be exact, the first actor to play James Bond was Barry Nelson in an hour-long TV special broadcasted on CBS on October 21, 1954 as an episode of "Climax! Mystery Theater". The episode also appears as a special feature of the 1967 James Bond spoof movie, "Casino Royale" DVD.

yups but Nelson Remains Star for TV when Sean Connery Makes the Movie and Things changed from there.

Actually even in some blogs that I come across there are a little few that Mentioned Nelson compared to Sean because Big screen really makes the sensation more ,and the appeal Makes 007 a legend .

I am not a big fan of James Bond but I saw few of his movies but I didn't see any scene that are gambling related. The top 5 has been deployed already so I can see that James Bond has made a lot of scenes that is gambling related.

But movies are quite very different to real life in terms of gambling especially in terms of high stakes like in the Diamonds movies where James plays a high stakes gambling and challenge the dealer by raising $10k, though there are very few who plays a high stakes gambling but I can say that the percentage of them is very less like less than 10% out of 100% as most of the gambler are hoping to win and they will not take the high risk if they don't have a good chances of winning.

uh nice info you got there guys , you sure are movie fanatics especially when it comes to bond and gambling movies .

not only that people will get curious and watch these good gambling movies from bond if they havent but some of the replies of this thread like we have here can make users more knowledgeable or will know the history of some of these movies .

[gadado]

For me it remains casino Royale. Obvious, but Bond isn't much of a gambler either. If you want to watch a good gambling movie, I wouldn't recommend a Bond series.

[decodx]

I think I'm just yoo young to know what movies are they talking about ...

How old do you think I am? 80? lol!
Of course, I can't really remember a movie made in the 50s, but if you want to know more about it, there's a thing called the Internet. It's all part of the film history that you learn, over time, if you're a film buff like me.

I like watching movies as well. I've watched this good movie, however this is a Korean movie, titled "Tazza: The Hidden Card". I find the scenes thrilling and how players have their own tricks when playing cards. I like watching movies about professional gambling, where I can see different tricks and might be some tips I cna use qhen I gamble.

you know them . koreans are good at making films and if your a fan of gambling movies you are sure going to love what they prepare for but i dont think that the trick that they apply on the movie can also be used on real life but that story can be fictious only . for james bond movies , im only familiar with one movie of him about gambling and that was casino royale . the movie was popular that other gamblers on this forum recognize it until now  . i also played a good james bond game on the ninetendo 64 , it was golden eye but not a fan of this movie

Yes, I am really amazed how good Koreans create their plots and twists when they are making movies. I like searching for different movies from different countris aside from Hollywood. I remember one time I had a James Bond movie marathon since my father is a big fan, it's a movie worth watching esepcially that scene where Bond almost died because of poisoning when he was in a poker table.

Aside from different movies from different countries, other genre such as anime also has good gambling movies. I watched this anime titled " Kakegurui" which is about an elite school where gambling and slavery is legal. Students are evaluated in their school depending on their gambling skills.

Congrats for reaching 80 ,Hope to be like you in the next 40 more years , but i don't need to reach that Age to Love James Bond.

i even have some stuffs and memorabilia from some events in theatre or places i go with in name of 007.


You really made a Good thread here Karl, not just to Open a gambling related topic but also to compare casino stuffs from the past and now, and also give us a chance to Look back our James Bond experiences ,see how limited the posters are?because most of them are fans of Korean actors now..Joke

When James Bond playing gambling, that will be a good scene for me because he can always shock his opponent with his tricks. But Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery are the best actors who played James Bond. They can act perfectly and make many people charmed, especially the ladies, and he can seduced woman to follow what he said, and make her fall in love with Bond. But still, James Bond is the luckiest person ever because besides winning on the gambling table, he also winning the girl's hearts

I think Casino Royale is a good James Bond gambling scene, but I do not know the game too much. But I enjoy watching the movie because I am curious about the movie. I am not thinking too much about the gambling scenes, but that is an attractive scene for people who watch the movie. I am sure there are so many other gambling scenes from the other movies which trying to focus on the gambling games.

I have watched this movie Casino Royale too and so far this movie was a good movie. But what i did get about casino playing in these movie was that it is a gambling or a game that has a touch of luck. What mostly interesting for me about the movie was the ending that James Bond did win the game.

Also a huge fan of Jamesbond movies too most especially to the first James Bond actor Sean Connery.

I think I'm just yoo young to know what movies are they talking about but I've seen most James Bond movies but I am not familiar with the Casino Royale thingy but maybe I've watched it already I just don't remember. Although I've watched some gambling movies but the most movie that I like is the "21" which amazes me how they did it and not to mention that it's based on a true story.

Well I also considered myself as young too but i do encountered this Casino Royale thingy recently. I suggest you should search these movies because this might help us to figure out what casino really was and this was also a good movie to watch on, well its just my suggestion.

Have been watching Bond movies since childhood because my Father is a Movie lover so we had no choice as kid to watch with Him as we only have one TV those days ,and along the years i have adopted the movie watching and deny cartoons most of the time.

I remember playing with my childhood friends with their Super Hero toys but Mine is a James Bond Toy Gun and Toy Watch in which they Don't even know the name.

Sounds funny but 007 becomes my Idol more than Batman,Superman or Even Voltes V ..

[Reatim]

I only watch couple of James Bond Movie but one that registered in my Mind is the Octopussy because it sounds Malicious and Really Manly title 

and also the Casino Royal in which reminded me of my events in Real Casino's back when i was still active in gambling Being Single.

But when got married i almost lost my desire and willingness to gamble in casino houses ,instead i played Online sometimes just to have some Moment for myself.

i think there's no intention here about which movie is best gambling scene ,OP only paused to Back View the famous 007 scene in Casino's in which the symbolization of Popularity and Luxury , and also a Good topic to tackle here as we gamblers have boosted because of these scenery .

For me it remains casino Royale. Obvious, but Bond isn't much of a gambler either. If you want to watch a good gambling movie, I wouldn't recommend a Bond series.

I agree with that.

I am not a fan of James Bond and his movies but I do know that Casino Royale is one of those movies with gambling scenes. I wouldn't recommend the Bond series as well since most of the time, gambling is not the main genre of the series. I am not updated with new movies or TV series about gambling so I hope maybe some of you could give me some recommendations.

James Bond Movies are Pure Action movies with a little romance ,and Gambling scene is just a added location to make the story more tasty and not boring .
So recommending to be a Gambling movie is definitely  not a good idea.

You should Try watching more Bond movie ,because those inventions from each movies are mostly what you are using now,specially that Memory card in which in the oldest Movies of james bond was already available but we have just use it in reality 20 years after.

I have not yet seen any movie that conveys the essence of the game with the all that goes with playing live for a big prize or the simple subtlety of a single play that marks you for life when you put a large amount of money at risk.

But whatever the essence of "loading" the whole plot of a movie related to the world of gambling and in particular with the "big game" in movies and scenes, in the case poker the only movie that reaches a point very close to telling us a story related to the world of gambling in a near reality is Rounder, something very fictitious and too armed in some scenes, but in the whole (film) and not in a particular scene they manage to capture the attention in the plot.

Familiar faces: Matt Damon is a self-proclaimed fans of poker has been seen on a few occasions playing the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

The film is complemented by the great actor Edward Norton, who always leaves us great performances in the characters that he decides to develop in any movie.
IMDB :https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128442/

Now in scenes without discussion that those of James Bond are a classic for most but very elementary and quite predictable, the one I remember is Casino Royale (2006) quite well worked and it is seen that they were professionally advised with real players to create that tense environment and those situations that surround a high stakes poker table.

With names scenes out of that James Bond list, I only have a recent one that I saw and one of those that you can safely invite your partner or wife to see because it is a classic Hollywood romantic melodrama that only has one scene or peak moment in which you can subtly start  understand the drama of losing everything in a situation where you say "I can't lose".

Straight flush to J for Nicolas Cage and on the other hand the winning hand straight flush to Q, those who play poker will understand the situation and those who will not criticize it.

Well there are two old movies to see on these days of vacation  one if you like gambling, you can safely only bear it alone and another that you can surely share with other people and even comment on the funny situations that are created around the situation of having the big hand and result in not being it.


Happy New Years /  Gambling discussion.

Whenever i See or Hear the word 007 or James Bond the one that always comes to My mind is the familiar face of Sean Connery , I know that there is a TV series that Starts the Phenomenon of The Bond but Sean makes this Possible in the Wider and Bigger screen.

Gambling at some point is not really a Forte of Bond films though this shows The reality of Life in regards to what Kind of People are James Bond dealing ,and they are the Elite community ,the Untouchables , the Most prominent people , But in the End it is the Good will win and no matter how powerful they are still 007 stands the last.


________

When Casino Royal released , It is a very new concept of Casino that the Director shows ,and Yeah right timing because that is the Booming of Gambling worldwide.
