Can't embed bc I'm on my phone.

It opens with Peter Sellers in the original 1955 Lady killers I think. Then Paul Newman in The Color of Money? Then Faye Dunaway in Network. I don't know the Harrison Ford movie off hand. Skip one or two and you have (I assume) Apollo 13. Then Bill Paxton diving the Titanic with James Cameron. Skip a few and I see Owen Wilson putting on his dive gear in The Life Aquatic, then Terrence Howard in Hustle & Flow, then Brando for the 2nd time as Kurtz from AN. Guy Pearce from LA Confidential and then Charles Bronson but I don't know which movie.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

James Bond immediately comes to mind. Wonder why 007 isn't there. He wore a Sub in the first few pictures.

Struck me as well that they would omit one of the most iconic movie characters. Also, Lazenby wore a Sub in O.H.M.S.S. as well as Roger Moore with the bullet deflecting, zipper opening, rope cutting Q branch edition in Live and Let Die and Man with the Golden Gun. Even Dalton sported a Sub in Licence to Kill.

I thought the end of the commercial with Bronson from the Mechanic killed it tho!

I think Bond has really come to be associated with the Seamaster.
