How about bringing back Baron Samedi folks from the legion of the dead?.
He IS the man who cannot die.

How about a comical fight with the Samedi for the pre-title to get some humour back in.

I think it would have worked in the seventies (he was going to appear in TMWTGG) but I think it would go over like a lead balloon today.

Irma Bunt anyone?

Just a thought.
I definately think that the Producers should cast someone Black this time as the Baddy.

How about Lawrence Fishbourne (sp?) ? I think he could pull it off.

I want an older and more mature villain this time. I didn't care too much for Gustave Graves.

I vote for Jim as the next Bond villain.

"Oh look, two parachutes.....not any more."

That really irked me. So childish at a time when he should've been at his most menacing.

I enjoyed that line. Coupled with that smirk when he said, "time to face destiny", you just realise how much you hate the guy!

Caveat: I think it also works because of the over-the-top nature of the second half of the film. If the line were said in the first half, then yes, it would have been inappropriate.

There is truly only one man who can come back as a villain and it's Blofeld.

Laurence Fishburne definitly needs to be considered. I remember on another board we were talking about who could play the characters if they ever made Agent Under Fire into a movie. He came out top favourite to play Nigel Bloch.

Baron Samedi would be great for Bond 21. LALD is underrated and he's one of the best henchmen from the Moore era. I'd like to see Bond battle him again.

Looks like Righty is starting for you bond111. At the time I would have agreed but it could have been just anther double like in DAF. The real truth is that Bloefeld died when EON lost the rights to the character and the other fellows got the rights to remake Thunderball as many times as they want to. Of course he also died in the books. YOLT I believe.

I wish EON would find a way to buy them back and bring the whole SPECTRE organization back. The KGB and SMERSH aren't any good anymore and Al Queda is just too politically charged to use.

Who would play Blofeld now though and how would they do it without him coming off as Dr. Evil's smarter twin. Maybe they could use Gardner's Blofeld's daughter angle.

It would be nice if that could be proven.

Sadly, it can't. :)

If they bring Baron Samedi, can they bring Sheriff Pepper out of retirement so he can test drive another American car in some exotic, foreign country?
