Brosnan's eight-year delay helped him build a better Bond. Age weathered some of his pretty-boy sheen; a few more lines on his face, a touch more flesh at his jawline, and he began to look like a man who had survived a few too many fights and a few too many cocktails. By now, his fourth time in the role, "the part has become second nature in some respects," he says. "I've grown into it--or at least I'd like to think I have...
...courses are deeply perplexing. The less confused of the two, honey soy roast duck ($19.50), turns out to be a Chinese confit-magret combo; the breast is just a smidgen too toothy and dried out, but the candied leg proves to be a seductive, swirling mouthful of fat and flesh, judiciously flavored.

You?ll need a high threshold of pain for roughhouse and Cantonese insult comedy, for fall-on-their-asses reactions that Shemp Howard would have rejected as overly broad, and for supporting players with cross-eyes and a huge, hairy wart (a talisman of sorts, don?t ask me why, for martial arts movies of the period). But along with some cunning, made-in-the-basement special effects, ?CESK? includes...
