Editorial Review:
Includes the following films: Die Another Day, A View to a Kill, Live and Let Die, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Octopussy.
Description of The James Bond Collection, Vol. 3 (Special Edition):
Thunderball, Sean Connery's fourth excursion as 007, upped the Bond ante with the most ambitious adventure--and budget--to date, and turned out to be his most successful venture in the series. George Lazenby, a handsome Australian model with a self-effacing confidence, made his first and only appearance as James Bond in the underrated On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a witty and action-packed adventure that makes 007 history when Bond marries the girl (the lovely and talented Diana Rigg, fresh from her duties as the butt-kicking spy on the TV series The Avengers). Roger Moore brought an altogether lighter tone to 007 with Live and Let Die, softening Connery's rough edges with a more romantic persona as the films became even more exotic. Octopussy, a colorful cold war thriller and one of Moore's better outings, stars Louis Jourdan as a corrupt Afghan prince and Maud Adams (making her second Bond appearance) as the ringmaster of an all-babe traveling circus team that unknowingly carries a nuclear bomb. Christopher Walken hams it up under a platinum-blond hairdo while his Amazon bodyguard, Grace Jones, growls through A View to a Kill, a silly but often visually impressive adventure that made it obvious Moore was too old and stiff to carry on the Bond legacy. No such problem with Pierce Brosnan, whose fourth outing, Die Another Day paired him with sexy American agent Jinx (Halle Berry) to take on a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything.
The James Bond Collection, Vol. 3 (Special Edition) Reviews:
Amazing box set 
2009-10-15 - If you arent aware, this third box set is incredibly rare. The dvd's in this set were all taken off the market years ago and have now become rare. For the longest time this box set was $200. My brother got me the first two box sets (both containing 7 movies) years ago but could never get this one (containing 6 movies) for the cost. Now its much less expensive and still in the amazing quality of the first. Now I own all but the brand new one and my collection is almost complete! Buying these 6 movies on their own would almost double the cost of this box set on its own. Great buy!
James Bond Collection #3
2008-12-31 - The James Bond Collection came very quickly and no problems. It was as advertised.
bad 
2008-09-09 - sean connery is the tru james bond.& brecking up the bond set suck's.because I want to buy on her majesty's secret service but I want sean connery.
Good set if you want to see the movie like it was. 
2007-02-25 - I have all three of these original sets. They're fine. I also have all of the Ultimate Edition sets. They're better. If you're an Bond fan, you'll like both. If you're trying to test the limits of your home theater, get the Ultimate Edition, or wait for it to be re-released a third time on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. (whichever one finally wins that battle)
Why is this set so valuable? I really want to know.
2006-12-26 - I really would like to know why set #3 (and also #2) is so sought after by collectors? I see people pay very high prices for it on eBay, and for #2, as well (but everyone ignores set #1). Is there anything really better here than on the Ultimate Editions now out and at lower prices? What is it that I am not understanding? I really do want an answer tot his.
