James Bond is as much known for X-rated double entendres as his shaken not stirred martinis and array of gadgets.
Since the franchise first launched 62-years ago and over the course of 27 movies, 007 has left fans both delighted and at times cringing with his racy quips.
From raunchy rendezvous with buxom beauties to wicked one liners as he faces off against villains, the spy is never short of something to say.
But now all that could be about to change after it was revealed the super spy’s ‘creative control’ had been handed over to Amazon.
The franchise will no longer be in the hands of longtime producers Barbara Brocolli and Michael G Wilson, the daughter and stepson of Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli who launched the British spy franchise in 1962.
Here MailOnline takes a look at James Bond’s most shocking one-liners….

Here MailOnline takes a look at James Bond’s most shocking one-liners (Daniel Craig in 2006’s Casino Royale
Attempting re-entry – Moonraker – 1979
One very memorable moment came when 007’s gravity defying love making, while orbiting the earth on a rocket, was inadvertently patched through to MI6 and NASA.
The spy, played by Roger Moore, celebrated saving the day by smooching astronaut Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) leaving his superiors horrified.
As the couple floated mid air wrapped in a sheet their video link was transmitted back to earth, with the spy’s boss crying out: ‘My god, what’s Bond doing?’.
To which pal Q (Desmond Llewelyn), who provided the secret agent with his many gadgets, saucily replied: ‘I think he’s attempting re-entry Sir’.
Homoerotic tension – Skyfall – 2012
It all starts in typically inauspicious fashion, with the secret agent – played on this occasion by Daniel Craig – tied to a chair after being captured by MI5 turncoat Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem).
But instead of torture, Bond is surprisingly tantalised as Raoul Silva – played by Spanish actor Javier Bardem – caresses his exposed chest and rubs his inner-thighs, an unexpected move that appears to hint at a past same-sex encounter.

‘You’re trying to remember your training now. What’s the regulation to cover this? Well, first time for everything I guess,’ Silva gently goads as the helpless Bond watches his hands move across his captive body.
‘What makes you think this is my first time?’ Bond replies, surprising his adversary.

He responded: ‘No, just different. Like Peking Duck is different from Russian Caviar. But I love them both’.

Following news that Amazon had fully purchased the rights to 007 fans took to social media to share their fears of Bond going the way of other iconic.
In 2012, Disney acquired Star Wars owner LucasFilm for £3.2billion and have since launched a raft of new origins movies, series, and animated spin-offs.
It will open the door to much-loved Bond characters could get their own series like Q, the quartermaster of MI6 who furnishes 007 with his gadgets, Moneypenny, Bond’s secretary, and M, the head of MI6 and Bond’s boss.
One user in mourning for 007 made his feelings clear: ‘RIP James Bond. Amazon will destroy a great franchise, like Disney have destroyed Star Wars.’
Another X user, Mike Beauvais, suggested that the Amazon takeover would lead to a loss in quality control and an endless stream of sequels.
He wrote: ‘We used to get a (generally) good James Bond movie, but that’s out of the window now.
‘Get ready for Young Q and 00 Origins: Trevelyan and other unwatchable Amazon Prime slop going forward.’
A third X user, Joe Russo, said: ‘It’s kinda sad to see the last family-owned movie franchise handed over to the suits, and I’m sure Amazon MGM is salivating, BUT…
‘DON’T cinematic universe James Bond. It is one of our last, great theatrical events. Don’t dilute that with a plethora of streaming spin-offs.’
