Creator/RogerMoore became the third actor to star as Bond in as many films (after Lazenby's single outing and Connery's encore). He had already made a name playing a charming, debonair playboy on television with ''Series/TheSaint''; to avoid getting typecast, he had the writers of his films shift in a more comedic and campier style. The result was a Bond who was a lot funnier, but somewhat less believable as an action hero.

Following Roger Moore's retirement, the field was narrowed down to three candidates: Creator/TimothyDalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Creator/SamNeill, who divided the producers down the middle and thus was unable to secure the role.

As with the books, the movies tend to be episodic and low on continuity. Every film has at least one "[[GirlOfTheWeek Bond Girl]]," who will provide some combination of casual romantic dalliance (Bond is TheCharmer), DistressedDamsel, helper and [[StuffedInTheFridge motivator]]; while Bond ReallyGetsAround, he doesn't typically do relationships, and in over 60 years of continuity has only developed genuine emotional connections three times. However, he does have an ArchEnemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who runs the NebulousEvilOrganization SPECTRE, and a [[TheLancer Lancer]] in the form of CIA Agent Felix Leiter on the occasions when he drops in. He also has a CastHerd who show up in most films: M, DaChief of MI-6; Q, the Quartermaster and GadgeteerGenius who preps Bond for his next mission; and Moneypenny, M's SexySecretary whom Bond constantly flirts with [[SleepsWithEveryoneButYou for fun]]. The main constant is Bond himself: TheAce, TheCharmer, The DeadpanSnarker, The RenaissanceMan, The ManOfWealthAndTaste, The OneManArmy... The ProfessionalKiller, The SociopathicHero, TheAlcoholic, [[ParentalAbandonment The Orphan]], the man who can always find women but can never find love. Which of these traits are pushed to the forefront will depend on the tone of the movie in question.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: Quite a few of the villains are involved in perfectly legitimate or semi-legitimate businesses which appear to turn a handsome profit without them having to resort to, well, villainy. Franz Sanchez in ''Film/LicenceToKill'' is even amused by the fact that one of his money-laundering fronts -- the televangelist racket -- is actually profitable thanks to the charisma of the televangelist.

** In ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', we even get a gender-swapped version with Bond himself removing a kilt in such a manner.

One can't help but wonder what happened to their between the movies, considering that many of Bond's male allies have had recurring roles.

* {{Sequel}}: The Creator/DanielCraig Bond films put much emphasis on continuity, unlike the previous StandaloneEpisode Bond films. ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'' picks up where ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'' left off, ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' explore plot threads left from ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' and ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' does the same with ''Spectre''. ''Skyfall'' can be watched as a standalone meanwhile, but it's still brought back into the continuity with ''Spectre''.

* SequelEscalation: Sometimes inverted (''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' > ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' and ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' > ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006''), but usually the movies get bigger and bigger. As with GrayingMorality, it's something of a cyclical process, often (but not always) coinciding with a new actor taking the role of Bond; every so often, the series 'reboots' to adopt a more gritty tone only to gradually escalate into larger-scale plots and action sequences, at which it goes gritty again.
