James Bond emerged as an international film hero because he represented an aspirational cosmopolitan ideal offering viewers an opportunity to escape to an exciting international arena of adventure during the Cold War. Sheriff J. W. Pepper’s appearance in Guy Hamilton’s Live and Let Die (1973) and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) disrupts such cosmopolitan aspirations by calling attention to a cosmopolitan-rural divide that lurks in the shadows of these films. As a provincial throwback, Pepper presents a starker contrast to Bond than any of the most brutal villains he encounters, thus requiring Bond filmmakers to neutralize the conceptual threat that Pepper’s localism poses to Bond’s trans-global battle against evil on movie screens around the world.

“听说过 EVEL Knievel 吗?”:詹姆斯邦德会见农村警长

詹姆斯邦德之所以成为国际电影英雄,是因为他代表了一个有抱负的国际化理想,让观众有机会逃离冷战期间令人兴奋的国际冒险舞台。警长 JW Pepper 在盖伊·汉密尔顿的《生与死》(1973 年)和《金枪人》(1974 年)中的出现,通过唤起人们对潜伏在这些电影阴影中的国际化与农村分歧的关注,打破了这种国际化的愿望。作为一个省级回归,佩珀与邦德的对比比他遇到的任何最残酷的恶棍都更加鲜明,因此要求邦德的电影制片人消除佩珀的地方主义对邦德在全球电影屏幕上进行的全球性反邪恶斗争所构成的概念威胁。
