While "Quantum of Solace" continues to make a bajillion dollars worldwide, over on the home video front MGM has released the first wave of six James Bond films in Blu-ray. On the docket? Volume One contains "Dr. No" (1962), "Live and Let Die" (1973) and "Die Another Day (2002)," with Volume Two picking up "From Russia with Love" (1973), "Thunderball" (1965) and "For Your Eyes Only" (1981). Additional releases are also planned for the rest of the franchise.
While some of the extras carry over from the previous "Ultimate" collection, the big selling point is (obviously) seeing these classic films in all their fully-restored, high-def glory. If you thought Sean Connery kicked ass in crummy low-res, just wait til you see him whip a chair in 1080p. So with that in mind, check out the memorable laser scene below from "Die Another Day" with Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry, and then after the jump feast your eyes on one of Sir Sean's iconic fight scenes. The "James Bond Blu-ray Collection, Volumes 1 and 2” are available in stores now.
