As BAFE celebrates the year of James Bond, 2007, fans flocked to the Castro Theatre for a weekend of thrilling Bond action!


Guest Richard "Jaws" Kiel signed photos and books for fans and treated anyone willing to a head crushing photo session! Richard introduced THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and fascinated the audience with stories of his career, covering everything from Bond to THE TWILIGHT ZONE to EEGAH! and other movies and TV series in which he appeared.

Antiquities at Pier 39 was on hand with Bond goods and other collectibles. One lucky Bond collector purchased the Cadillac of collectibles from the show, a framed collection of autographed 8x10" stills...one of each of the Bond actors; Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and current Bond Daniel Craig.

Apocalypso Now brought their own unique calypso music to the mezzanine and entertained shoppers and minglers alike.

Saturday Night's show opened with another amazing stunt show by The Stunt People. This one featuring James Bond, Odd Job and thugs in an exciting fight to the death to save the theater from a doomsday machine provided by jack of all trades Eric Yee.


Monday's shows were hosted by Bay Area Film Events' favorite local movie host Cinema Insomnia's Mr. Lobo.

And of course there were the movies, what James Bond is all about, DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER, THUNDERBALL, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME!

Memorial Day weekend was definitely a weekend to remember for Bond fans young and old. Everyone can continue celebrating The Year of Bond, 2007 for a few more months. But, if you missed our Weekend to Thrill, you missed an exciting weekend shaken and stirred!
