The Rock is DEFINITELY a James Bond Movie

🔵 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲: 🔵 Sean Connery in The Rock is James Bond – and I can prove it. On the 25th anniversary of Michael Bay’s 1996 action classic The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, this video essay looks at the evidence in WAY too much detail to definitively prove once and for all that Sean Connery’s character in The Rock is James Bond 007. This video essay doesn’t just look at the surface level similarities between The Rock/James Bond. It relies on information from all six of the Connery Eon Bond movies (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever) and from actual world history, as well as the backstory of Sean Connery’s The Rock character John Mason (who is 100% James Bond). By the end of this video I guarantee that you’ll either agree with me, or you’ll wonder why you spent twenty minutes of your life watching a cartoon penguin talking about movies. 00:00 – Introduction 00:38 – The Rock movie recap 01:20 – The Rock/James Bond theory summary 01:45 – Disclaimer for fellow Bond geeks 02:07 – Part One (name) 04:51 – Part Two (1962-3) 07:27 – Part Three (1963-71) 09:53 – Part Four (1972) 12:57 – Summary 14:04 – There’s just one problem... 14:25 – Part Five (Hummel) 17:09 – Conclusion *** 🔵 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗕𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗘 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 - 𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵; 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 🔵 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗫 𝗢𝗡 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚, 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗧 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 ☑️ Twitter (mostly for James Bond chat) ☑️ Letterboxd (to prove I watch other movies besides LOTR and James Bond) ☑️ Instagram (for brief movie reviews, and wider channel updates) *** Music: *** SOURCES The Rock full movie script – , Fan Theories: The Rock is a James Bond movie: Fan Theories: James Bond is a Codename: Independence of Jamaica: 1962 in spaceflight (July–September): (July–September) Alcatraz closure: S.S.
