Try as he might, the 6’ 2’’ Sean Connery failed to convince in the guise of a Japanese fisherman in You Only Live Twice. Being two feet taller than everybody around him might have had something to do with it, though having him wear a kimono didn’t help matters – a garment almost as unflattering as the turquoise towel robe he’d worn three years earlier in Thunderball.

Then again, nothing Sir Sean ever donned in the James Bond flicks could ever match the apocalyptic nappy he sported in John Boorman’s Zardoz or that bloody teddy bear get-up from 1998’s The Avengers.
