For anyone tempted, imagine a Zero Tolerance regime implemented by someone for whom "zero" feels like generosity.


So do you set a pair of hungry dobermans after the offensive party or lead the to the trap door over the pool of pihranas? ;-)

I don't know what came first...the music or the gunbarrel.

Straight away, the dots move too fast they nearly fudge into one long blur, Craig is in a hurry and the blood just falls down, no grace to it.

But then again the music just blares out loud and fast, sounding a rushed Bond theme job. It's probably not rushed, but that use of the theme is just too fast. Arnold always did I feel, towards the end, speed up the Bond theme to some big action score, rather than a bit slower, more edgier, thriller-esque musical number.



But it does mark the long-awaited return of the Triangle to the gunbarrel music! And for that it must be praised, in my eyes.

Brosnan has a very strong walk, long strides but he carries it off perfectly and turns super smooth. He's got one of the best gunbarrel walks, next to Roger Moore's latter ones and Timothy Dalton.


Nah; it's too lazy. Bend zee knees, Bros-man! And he's a bit pigeon-chested in it too.

Sir Roger was the king of the Bond pose: he knew how to throw a 007 shape. Tim definitely puts the effort in too, though, and his gunbarrel is possibly the best. Craig isn't afraid to have a go, though: his CR one is a great Bond pose.

I've been thinking the same thing, recently.

AND ABOUT THIS GROUP HUG: I'll get in on this, this all reminds me of Mathis's death for some reason, maybe the Latin America connection.

'Skyfall' Filming Discussion: I think I'm getting tried of discussing it and knowing the teaser poster and trailer may be coming out soon, its all I can think about. COME ON TEASERS!

Yes and No. The "group hug" is in reference to something else recently being discussed. "I'v been thinking the same thing, recently," is my gun barrel comment. I've edited my post in hopes it makes more sense to you and sorry for the confusion.

P.S. Why are you singling me out like this? I'm only assuming you are becuase you had no other comments regarding the topic. Are you just trying to turn me into a better poster again? You'll turn me into a good forum member just yet, wont you?

You have just been singled out by Single-O-Seven!

Now that filming is wrapping up, and the illicit iPhone-captured videos of the production will shortly end, we can only hold our collective breaths, await the teasers that will soon be upon us, and then speculate on all things post-production, especially the theme song and music.

About the Bond and Silva London chase;
Could have Bond and Silva derailed the subway and that be the underground train crash we have heard about? Leading into the chase scene with Silva is holding up the radio. Now I'm thinking this radio is something Silva stool from MI6, for whatever reason.
And not the ghetto blaster from TLD.

Bond is in the underground, when the crash happens, so that is not possible.

I think Silva derails the underground train when he holds up the radio while climbing a ladder and triggers the blast. This then allows him to escape from Bond and head for Whitehall to target M.

2nd Unit Director Alexander Witt promises a return to the old-fashioned style of action:

http://nol.hu/kult/2...a_nagy_bazarban

Alexander Witt, otherwise unknown before joining the world of James Bond, conducted the second unit during the filming of Casino Royale, so his name is linked to the prior title due to such action as the crane spectacular fights. When he was asked of the entire movie visible on screen what was his, as well as merit of the second unit, his answer was twenty-five per cent.

In Skyfall the authors will return to the old-fashioned style of action, i.e. Quantum of Solace shows a lot of cut operating - typical of the Bourne films - that form is now neglected. Witt said that the previous experiment meant only transient fashion, because the audience is more comfortable in case of a long continuous piece of action.


Sorry for any translation error.

Yeah, letting the action play out with effective use of editing, rather than simply cutting for the sake of cutting.

Other than having no real villain, little or no plot and little resemblance to CR, despite it being a 'sequel'. But let's not get into this...i can't wait to see some typical Bond action sequences.

Have you heard any info ref the fight coordinator and if they will be using Keysi fighting method techniques as per QoS ?? I have heard a little rumour of a certain ex RM (who also happens to be former amatuer boxer and done bit MMA) involved with fight coordination with gary Powells team but nothing official.

Honestly I don't know if they will be using Keysi fighting method techniques, anyway you can make an idea about the fight coreography and technique by seeing those stuntmen rehearsing on the top of the train :



You may also find some useful information on IMDB.com
Nicola Berwick: fight coordinator
Roger Yuan: fight trainer
Hope that helps.

A good job indeed for Luigi, but I'd like to think we're all doing our bit with coverage, and lots of people have found lots of different and exciting snippits information on 'Skyfall' too which is invaluable. Good job, team!

We'll probably have no need to see the film after all our findings and videos and images come October/November! :)
