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.
