Right now it's the scene in NSNA where Connery is fighting the really strong dude in the health club, and he's just got a pot belly and looks way too old. He unfortunately is at the disadvantage of not playing bond for 12 years before doing it again.
Well... yeah... I won't argue about that scene. But I tend to give him a pass on that film. Didn't his wife talk him into doing one more film, hence the name?
Overall, there's a certain amount of fantasy that is an integral part of Bond lore. It varied from film to film. Moonraker really explored that end of the spectrum.. (a laser artillery platoon in orbit?..:chuckles: )
One thing I will agree to... hiring George Lazenby was an atrocious mistake. Timothy Dalton was another.
