In one of the first Hollywood sex tapes (that Hollywood actually intentionally produced), Bond (Connery) and Tatiana Romanova (Bianchi) are filmed in the sack by Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya). We shamefully admit that we wish we had a copy.

That terrifying outcome is not the only place where Casino misses the mark factually. In another example among many from the film, an animated Kansas City mobster pops off in an Italian grocery. The entire scene plays like a beautifully sadistic ballet recital. If you haven’t, by some astronomical anomaly, gotten the chance to check this one out. Casino – Vice Grip. There’s nothing as thrilling as losing money. At least that’s what the casino sells you. Adam Sandler Movie 'Uncut Gems' Filmed At Mohegan Sun. The scenes in the casino include her racing to make the bet, and later, in a suite at the hotel where she watches the game.

By the time Bond (Connery), ahem, penetrates the seemingly impenetrable Pussy Galore (Blackman), the spy recognizes the necessity of privacy. Throwing a parachute over the couple to shield from government relief, Bond quips, 'Oh no, you don't! This is no time to be rescued.' Seems pilot Pussy wasn't the only one who knows how to glide down a landing strip.

Drapes billow out of broken windows at the Mandalay Bay resort and casino Monday, Oct. 2, 2017, on the Las Vegas Strip following a deadly shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci help the mob run Las Vegas in the 1970's. Also with Sharon Stone, James Woods, Don Rickles, Alan King, Kevin Pollak, L.Q. Jones, Dick Smothers, Frank Vincent, John I. Bloom, Pasquale Cajano, Melissa Prophet, Bill Allison and Vinny Vella.

While scuba-diving for a bomber under the sea, Bond (Connery) goes even deeper (pun intended) when he finds Domino (Auger) swimming as well. After stepping out of the ocean — which reacts to their love-making with a suggestive surge — Bond quips, 'I hope we didn't frighten the fish.' That's one way to fish for compliments.

Sean Connery and Molly Peters, 'Thunderball'
United Artists via Everett Collection
Sure, Bond's (Connery) methods of romancing Patricia Fearing (Peters) are questionable — seducing her by telling her it's the one way she won't get fired following a nearly deadly incident at her health farm — but the subsequent steam room sex scene, during which Peters becomes the first Bond girl to appear nude via silhouette, is unquestionably sexy.

The spy's 'Live and Let Die' Rolex has the distinction of being Bond's (Moore) least and most useful gadget over the course of 23 films. The magnetic watch fails to protect him from the wrath of Mr. Big's alligators, but it does prove useful when undoing the magnetic Miss Caruso's (Smith) dress.

The spy who loved Anya Amasova (Bach) — for 90 minutes, anyway — asks the KGB agent to strip out of her clothes for some nautical nookie. And during the act, Bond (Moore) and Anya's superiors get a first-hand look at what happens when Bond rocks the boat.

Turns out getting lost in space with James Bond (Moore) would be a good thing. In the final moments of 'Moonraker,' Bond and Dr. Holly Goodhead (Chiles) live up to the Bond girl's name by rolling around in the sub-zero hay. Of course, they're discovered by Bond's government colleagues: 'I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.' A sex scene that was, figuratively and literally, out of this world.

Whoever said laughter is the best medicine clearly didn't see Bond (Moore) cure himself from Khan (Louis Jourdan)-related injuries through a roll in the sack. Where can we find such love potion?
Roger Moore and Grace Jones, 'A View to a Kill'
United Artists via Everett Collection
One of Bond's most sexually dominant paramours, May Day (Jones) doesn't even allow Bond to take advantage of his patented punnery. 'I see you're a woman of very few words,' Bond (Moore) tells her as she climbs into bed, to which she responds, 'What's there to say?' Now, that's what we call a Bond woman.

Xenia Onatopp (Janssen) certainly does like to be on top — of Bond's (Brosnan) shoulders, that is. Armed with her penchant for squeezing men to death with her thighs, Xenia attacks Bond, only to begin seducing him in a way that would make Christian Grey blush. The duo never actually does the deed, but how could Xenia not make it onatopp of a sexy Bond list?
Pierce Brosnan and Teri Hatcher, 'Tomorrow Never Dies'
United Artists via Everett Collection
M (Judi Dench) dispatched Bond (Brosnan) to seduce trophy wife Paris Carver (Hatcher) for information on her conspiring husband, Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) — and, based on the a few lingerie-friendly shots, both Bond and audiences were lucky she did. Paris, however, wasn't — she was murdered shortly thereafter by her own husband. Talk about a dangerous affair.

One way to get over the groan-worthy 'I thought Christmas only comes once a year'? Watch Bond's (Brosnan) tryst with Elektra King (Marceau), which begins and (unfortunately) ends with a bang.

During the most romantic love scene in the Bond franchise, Vesper Lynd (Green) visits an ailing Bond (Craig) and speeds his recovery with the following sultry declaration, 'You can have me anywhere.' The fact that Bond responds with nary a pun — 'Whatever is left of me, whatever I am, I'm yours' — shakes (not stirs) us to the core.

Casino Baseball Bat Scene Uncut Gems

Though the movie Casino was released more than 22 years ago, it still serves as a reference point for those hoping to understand what real Las Vegas mobsters were like when they were a sinister fixture in the news.

But most movies based on true stories, including Casino, twist the facts for dramatic effect and to compress long histories into a watchable timeframe.

What you see in Casino isn’t exactly the way things were. Case in point: the death of the Spilotro brothers, two mobsters originally from Chicago.

The way the movie portrays it, the brothers — or at least the fictional characters representing Anthony and Michael Spilotro — are beaten with baseball bats in a cornfield and shoved into a shallow grave while still alive.

Not true.

In his 2009 book Family Secrets: The Case That Crippled the Chicago Mob, journalist Jeff Coen details what really happened. Coen covered the Family Secrets trial for the Chicago Tribune. That 2007 trial resulted in convictions and revealed details that weren’t publicly known when the movie came out more than a decade earlier.

In the 1995 movie, it was baseball bats in a cornfield. But according to trial testimony, the Spilotros were lured to a residence near O’Hare International Airport in Bensenville, a subdivision of “modest homes,” and were beaten to death in the basement. (At the trial, one of the killers, Mob turncoat Nick Calabrese, said he could not recall which house it was.)

Anthony and his brother, Michael, a part-time actor and owner of the Chicago restaurant and Mob hangout Hoagie’s, went to the home in June 1986 believing they were to be promoted within the Outfit.

Although the brothers were suspicious, refusing to go was unthinkable.

When the Spilotros got to the basement, about 15 mobsters pounced on them. Michael had brought a pocket-sized .22-caliber handgun but could not get to it. Anthony was heard asking if he could say a prayer but was swarmed.

In addition to breaking Michael’s nose, the attackers inflicted blunt force injuries over his entire body. They severely bruised Anthony’s face, left temple and chest.

Anthony, 48, had blood in his trachea, lungs and nasal passages and hemorrhaging in the muscles of the larynx. The 41-year-old Michael had a fractured Adam’s apple.

Neither man’s skin was broken, indicating the killers did not use a heavy object such as a baseball bat. The brothers were beaten with fists, knees and feet, according to a pathologist at the trial.

The Spilotros were dead when buried in an Enos, Indiana, cornfield about 100 miles south of the murder house. The brothers were placed in a five-foot grave in only their underwear, one on top of the other.

The cornfield is near land that Outfit boss Joseph “Joey Doves” Aiuppa used for hunting, according to Coen. A farmer discovered the grave, thinking someone had buried a deer. The Spilotros were identified by dental X-rays provided by a third bother, Patrick Spilotro, a dentist.

Why did this happen to Anthony and Michael Spilotro? Mob higher-ups felt the two had to be silenced.

Since the early 1970s, Anthony Spilotro had overseen street rackets in Las Vegas for the Chicago Outfit. He also was keeping an eye on Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, a Chicago bookie handling the skim in Las Vegas for Midwestern Mob bosses.

Ultimately, though, news stories about Spilotro’s violent criminal activities, and his affair with Rosenthal’s wife, a former showgirl at the Tropicana hotel-casino, led to the gruesome outcome in that Bensenville basement.

Anthony Spilotro’s high-profile legal problems were jeopardizing the Outfit’s Las Vegas cash cow, prompting Aiuppa to order him “knocked down.” Michael Spilotro, facing a trial on extortion charges, had to go, too.

That terrifying outcome is not the only place where Casino misses the mark factually. In another example among many from the film, an animated Kansas City mobster pops off in an Italian grocery about the Las Vegas skim while federal authorities listen to his profanity-laced rant through a bug planted in a vent.

In reality, law enforcement authorities learned about the Las Vegas skim while eavesdropping on a conversation between members of the Civella crime family at a bugged back table in Kansas City’s Villa Capri pizzeria. Unlike the movie, there was no humorous scolding mom at the now-demolished Villa Capri nagging her mobster son about his vulgar language.

The only ones at the table were sinister Mob figures, behaving like real-life conspiratorial gangsters, not colorful movie characters.
