I was going to mention that very one from NSNA myself, but I remembered what ZI told us:

"I don't think attaching innuendo when there is none is remotely more imaginative than enjoying or creating proper double-allusions. How would it be? And the lines you quote are not innuendo by any stretch...don't highlight stuff that is not even single-entendre."

You've broken his rule. Shame on you. Go to the back of the line. Or at least brace yourself for another lecture.

Yes indeed. Quite disgraceful.
However...

AVTAK. Moneypenny to Bond " Your dedication, when you're on the job,is most commendable James"
TMWTGG. Bond shoving the words TIT-bit and TIT-illating into conversations about Scaramanga
DAF- Tiffany Case "I'm co-operating Mr Leiter. Really I am"
Bond "Oh I can vouch for that"
NSNA- Smallfawcett (whilst Valerie Leon crawls over Sean Connery) "Just to let you know, I'm on top of things"
NSNA- Physio Pat to Bond "I believe I'm having you at 3 O'clock"

It also shone a light on this cracker almost thrown away in the sound mix of OHMSS:

Irma Bunt (in pidgin English, getting into helicopter): First you must your pipe knock off.

Bond: Knock out, you mean...I hope.


Actually, she says knock up (as in, get pregnant), not knock off.

Are you sure? The subtitles say 'knock off'. Why would Bond be concerned about knocking his own pipe up? I'm pretty sure he's saying 'i hope you mean knock the tobacco out rather than hack off my penis'. It's a very British Two-Ronnies/Benny Hill style joke. How can he get his pipe pregnant?

I don't know...they're both undressing, there's already a chemestry between them and Bond appears to be drinkng from the furry cup in that panting shot in the following montage. I think he's just speaking his intentions...!

I always laugh in A View to a Kill when Stacey and Bond first meet. Bond is putting his moves on her, when Zorin seeks to interrupt them, informing Sracy that a helicopter's coming for her or something.

Rog says, "Well, let me walk you to the chopper then".


It's funny cause he means his dick.

Imagine if you were Bond, then all of a sudden you saw Grace Jones rudely barge in front of you and say "YOUR HELICOPTER LEAVES IN 20 MINUTES!"

That would really shoot your chopper down.

Despite Tanya Roberts being such a Barbie doll, watching her trying to act haughty and "mysterious" would shoot my chopper down, and it would take more than dropping the soap to launch it again. That just leaves Fiona Fullerton, and I thought she was far cuter as Alice in Alice in Wonderland many yonks ago (egad, what does that say about me? - to be fair, like Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, Fiona was much older than the character she was playing).

...and Kimberly Jones aboard the rescue launch in the PTS:

"Call me James - it's five days to Alaska."
"In that case I'd better call you an ambulance, Gramps, 'cause you won't last five days with me."

(You should have heard the audience scream with approval opening night when the titles started and she revealed the dayglo '007' painted on her cleavage!)

Back to the thread subject, rewind to two years earlier:

"You know, there is a better therapy for a man's lower back."
"Really? What's that?"
"Well..." CRUNCH!

Funny then - not so funny now that I'm the same age as Connery was then.

And another thing:

"You're damn lucky you've got an ear left to hear the question with - which is: did you mess with that?"
Mr. Big/Kananga appears to be pointing at Solitaire's tarot cards, but he could just as easily be pointing at her decolletage (cleavage), which Bond also messed with.
