Does anybody know anything about Tymarah or know of any available photos from DAD or other venues? She played the uniformed "Korean scorpion guard" during Bond's torture scenes; my theory is that Anna Edwards provided a "template" for the computer-generated graphics of the fire/ice women during the opening credits and this is the so-called "Scorpion girl" of the credits.

Tymarah is supposed to have been in a music video done by the UK group BBE, is a martial arts expert, is Asian, and there has been some unconfirmed speculation that she did underwater stunts as Michelle Yeoh's double in TND, and may be a UK television presenter who works with BBC film critic Jonathon Ross. Tymarah is most likely a modelling type name and she may have acted under another name.

Although she did not have a speaking role in DAD, she did have an important impact on Bond and there were some hints that she may have had more than a dominatrix relationship with him (Bond wasn't in all that bad of shape after over a year's worth of torture). I'm disappointed that there were no official photos of her released as there were of Zena Marshall as "Miss Taro" in Dr. No.

What hints are those, exactly?

[rondh69]

During the theme music and the computer generated graphics there appeared to be more than just torture occurring between Bond and the "Scorpian girl" (who I presume was supposed to be the NK "Scorpian guard). Also, in the scene where Bond is being lectured by the old general before his release from prison, Tymarah and Bond exchange various knowing glances.

I see what yuo mean. There is this shot in the title sequence where one of the Ice-women touches Bond face. It doesn't seem like torturing at all indeed. But I don't know if that is intentional or merely just a piece of work by Dannny Kleinman without thinking about the story.

[rondh69]

I don't really care for Madonna and techno-pop all that much, but I have to admit the music really fit the title sequence, which I think is the best of any Bond film, even YOLT's which was my previous favourite.

By the way, Bjork's elusive remake of the title song from YOLT that she pulled from "Shaken & Stirred" can be found at the link below and is pretty similar to the original by Nancy Sinatra.

About Tymarah, even Tim Greaves knows next to nothing about her (I've asked him) and would be interested in anything we could come up with...

Well, of course it's the other way around isn't it? The song comes first and the titles are created around that song.

It's Kleinman's talent that moulded the title sequence to suit the song, which in my opinion is a piece of doo-da.

[rondh69]

Yes, I don't like the song too, but I find that the title sequence overall is an integral and important part of the story, the only such touch for any Bond film I believe.

[rondh69]

I know who she is now (at last) - Sarllya Tyi. See:

Very interesting, I too had always wondered about her, as the fourth Bond girl of this film pretty much. Founds lots of information on the other three, but this one was always obscure.

She was my favorite Bond Girl in DAD -- really.

You always like the wierd ones...

May Miranda stab you in the heart

[Scottlee]

Having watched the title sequence again, I've now spotted the part where she touches his face during the torture sequence. She may or may not have been a dominatrix figure for Bond, but we'll never properly know because scenes between the two are limited to pretty much nothing.

[Qwerty]

It's odd how the fire and ice girls seem to be torturing Bond along with the Scorpion girl, or how they change back and forth from her.

[Athena007]

Hey Dev... for some reason I had always seen it that the fire girl was torturing him and the ice girl was keeping him alive.

I agree...I actually really like the DIE ANOTHER DAY title song.

"Sarllya Tyi
Actress/Model
Scorpion Girl in Bond Film"

Strange, they're not exactly milking the DIE ANOTHER DAY connection, are they? Why not name the film? Strikes me that our "Scorpion Girl" prefers an anonymous life in the shadows (and why not?, as Barry Norman would say).

And, Darren, yes, Madonna's "Die Another Day" is amazing.

Really? I never thought of it like that, but I'll keep an eye out for that next time I watch the DVD!

Very interesting.

Kinda weird. She was hot though. But I'm suprised you didn't find Jinx as hot! Oh well, people have different tastes.

Ya I thought Miranda was the best girl in the movie, love the scene where she says "James, be careful" and actually shows emotion.

I did enjoy Madona's Die Another Day, I think the title sequences get better with every movie.

I think for the job he had with combining it with the film, Kleinman did an exceptional job.

Well.  Ten years have passed by and I still don't know anything much about this NK Scorpion Guard, and I guess that's the way she wants it.  Actually, this "Sarllya Tyi" is probably a false lead as the images of her from DAD look much more Asian than the photos of this so-called Sarllya Tyi...
