what is the deal with brosnan and his running? i noticed it in goldeneye all the way up to DAD, but in DAD it was the worst i have seen him do. i have never seen a bond run like he does ever, i just wonder why he does it so strange

[BONDFINESSE 007]

someone else besides me must have noticed his odd running style - and it seems to get worse with each movie

[JimmyBond]

Runs just fine to me.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i have never seen any bond run the way pierce does with his arms held up like he does....its odd looking

[JimmyBond]

At least he runs, Roger Moore's Bond rarely ran, thats cause Moore hated the way he looked when he ran.

[James Boldman]

Actually when Brosnan runs he reminds me of the running style of the bad shape changing murderous police guy out of the Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

Ya watch roger run... Very funny. Especially in the boat sequences and there abouts in LALD.

Brosnan runs like a bit of a pansy as well. Funny

Yes, I have noticed that... In the first 4 Brosnan movies he ran fine, especially in TWINE, but in DAD it was horrible. He ran like a fairy.

[DanMan]

He has sort of a comical run. He moves his arms up too much and has a blank expression on his face. It cracks me up every time.

[Righty007]

I haven't noticed anything wrong with the way Brosnan runs.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

righty go back and look at dad again....look real hard at brsosnan when he is trying to escape....after frost trys to kill him, that scene of him running...thats what we are talking about, its very odd way of running

[Kingdom Come]

Yes, I noticed his running as well - I blame Vic Armstrong! But have a look at Brosnan's walk as well, it gets barmier with each film. Try Havana.

[JmesBond2001]

Um, ok. Personally, I'm not going to look into how somebody runs and think about it a lot. Pierce's running I really don't care about. People debating how Pierce runs, now that scares me.

You're not alone, Bondfinesse. That scene imediately came to my mind when I read the title of this thread. It looks strange, a bit too exerted. James Boldman's comparsion with the T2 guy hits the nail on it's head. If any guy would run away for real in this style, he'd be exhausted after 100 meters.

"People debating how Pierce runs, now that scares me" !!
Then stop debating about it then!! lol

[BONDFINESSE 007]

its not very bond like to run the way he does

[Fawn]

He holds his arms with his elbows tucked in, like an insect or a kangaroo or something bizarre. I noticed that. Of course, Connery kinda...minced a little bit.

"People debating how Pierce runs, now that scares me."

LOL yeah this thread is a bit frivolous. Let's be hardcore fans but let's not get carried away! Sheesh!

[Righty007]

I watched Die Another Day again today and I see what you guys are talking about but it doesn't bother me at all.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

i have overlooked it in all the others but DAD really botherd me, i guess cause its so xtreme

[Jmart007]

I think the reason why he ran awkwardly in Die Another Day was because he was coming off a knee injury. Also he has to run in a non friendly running environments, like snow and mud. Snow when he goes to the Ice Palace and mud in North Korea. Other than that I haven't really noticed anything big about his running. Seems normal to me.

[Se]

I thought he was running very strange in TWINE in the caviar sequence, when he runs un front of the helicopter! You should check it out. The way his hips move!

[Simon]

He runs like his shoulders were hinged like an Action Man doll (GI Joe in the States I think)

[Brix Bond]

"People debating how Pierce runs, now that scares me"

Well we have to talk about *something* in the forums till the next one comes along...

[Dunph]

*stares blankly at the inane thread*

You think he looks stupid running? You should see the way he sits!

Why have we never seen Bond go to the toilet?

[Brix Bond]

Actually we have back in GoldenEye...

[MrDraco]

hehe i ....RUn like Brosnan haha remember the runing toward the hovercrafts...well remember me hahaha...

[Dunph]

Nope, no egestion-involving antics there. just exiting from said cubicle.

The hell does that mean?

[Dunph]

It means he didn't go to the crapper, just passed through it.
