What does James Bond have in common with Jack Sparrow?

Judi Dench and Kevin McNally

Both played parts in both series. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs in the whole POTC series and as an HMS Ranger crewman in The Spy Who Loved Me. Dench as M of course and as the society lady in the carriage in POTC: On Stranger Tides.

Before I saw the user name I thought it was going to be another james362001 question. Well noticed anyways. Is the picture of the chap on the submarine resized? Maybe my memory is dud but I swear he didn't look that chubby in the pts of the film?

The picture isn't resized it's a screen capture from the DVD. He does look a bit chubby, but he has always had a rather full face. He also never gets a frontal in the movie just from the side, which makes it more difficult to pick him out. If I've got this right, POTC4 actually filmed the fountain of youth sequence in the 007 sound stage and McNally makes a comment on the bonus disk with POTC4 that he started his career here with TSWLM and here is is all these years later back in the same place. Not an exact quote, but basically what he said.

My spouse actually realized it was Judi Dench before I did. I was thinking that really looks like M, but spouse beat me to it.

What is the big deal here? Jonathan Pryce played in both series. And there are at least four ties between the Bond series and the tv series Frasier. Whoop-t-dooo.

That's exactly, what I thought too.

Maybe, it's a kind of infection here and I should wear a mask 8-)

They both are charismatic and don't get the girl in the end... They always walk without a scratch from trouble

If you rearrange the letters of both Names they spell out two towns one in northern Canada the other in France which are reportedly two of the Gates of hell.
Given each letter a number and added together, If multiplied by the magic numer seven and divided by four the resulting number predicts the end of the world.
If you say their names backwards in front of a mirror at midnight Five times, The ghost of John Wayne will appear.
Both have been linked to the Fake moonlandings.

I may not have all my facts 100% right on this one, but it's pretty close. :v

During hie Tenure as Writer of the Bond novels J Gardner made Bond a Captain, and of course. Jack Sparrow is also a Captain. )

Naomi Harris was in two POTC films as Tia Daima and now is in Skyfall.

Rumor was Naomi Harris would be the new Miss Moneypenny, but according to a post over at James Bond Lifestyle, she will play an agent called Eve.
