BOND, <i> PIERCE</i> BOND?

Hate to split hairs, but Gendel’s comment that Roger Moore fails the Bond body-hair test “. . . so badly we’ve never in seven movies seen him shirtless in full view” has me bristling.

Gendel might recall “The Man With the Golden Gun,” in which Moore wore a prosthetic third nipple when posing as the notorious (who wouldn’t be with three nipples?) assassin, Scaramanga.

So, in at least one film, Moore was indeed shirtless.

OK, OK, hairless, too.
