I think this topic deserves to be upped! Here's a contribution that Mr. Blofeld and I came up with a few months back:

THE ROUGH WITH THE SMOOTH (2001)

The gunbarrel opens up onto a small military helicopter. Inside are Bond and three other 00-agents. M briefs them by video-conference on how the agents are to test the defenses of the British embassy in Jordan, and then wishes them luck. The helicopter lands, and the four covertly slip out. Meanwhile, a nearby guard notices a hole cut into a fence surrounding the embassy...

As Bond and the other three skulk around, we pull back to a rooftop, where an unseen assailant affixes a silencer to his rifle. He carefully takes aim at the three, then pulls the trigger. On the ground, Agent 009's head jerks back, and he collapses. Bond immediately looks up to see the rifleman, who takes off. The three agents rush into the hotel from where the rifleman fired. As they storm the building, a car bursts through the hotel's lobby, cutting off their path... and then EXPLODES! The building caves in on itself.

The three rush out from the blast, only to be confronted by a terrorist with a bazooka trained on Bond. 007 drops to the ground at the last second just as the missile whizzes by his head and blows away 002. Bond grabs the gun while Agent 005 unmasks the killer: a female. 005 pulls a knife, but Bond pushes it away, saying "No, she's only a woman!

Well, if nobody else is going to get going on some of those still-missing epics, I'm just going to have to start accounting for them.
Real soon, at any rate. (See, if I do this in public like this, then I'm going to HAVE to get some of my ideas down and posted.)

I look forward to it, operator.

COMMANDER JAMAICA (1968)


From JAMES BOND WILL RETURN: 45 STRAIGHT YEARS OF NON-STOP ACTION by Hilary Hazard:

To this day, COMMANDER JAMAICA has a reputation of being a black mark on the Connery era. True, it was attacked viciously by the critics at the time of its release. Yes, it outraged audiences then. But for the film to continue to be so reviled and so stigmatized is unfair to a movie that is just as sharp and well produced as any other of the period and is a disservice to those who labored to create the best project they could given the circumstances.

After YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, Connery had had about enough of Bond and made his feelings clear to Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. The producers knew this would happen sooner or later but had convinced themselves that they could keep their star on for at least two more pictures. With Connery growing testier by the day, Broccoli and Salzman once again pushed ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, with its cold, mountaintop locales, back a year and told Richard Maibaum to quickly write a script that would involve warmer settings,

This topic deserves another look. A lot of great ideas to be found.

Win, Lose or Die (1991)
Timothy Dalton as James Bond
Plus the usual crew, except for Robert Brown.

After the attempted hijacking of an ocean-going oil tanker and the title credits, we join Commander James Bond aboard HMS Invincible, just as a helicopter lands on the flight deck. Off steps a middle-aged woman in a flight suit, who is brought to the bridge and introduced to Bond as the new 'M'.

As Bond is a former 00 agent currently serving in the RN (to which he returned after resigning from Her Majesty's Secret Country Club) he is ideal for the job of providing security during Operation Landsea, which is threatened by an organization called BAST.

The rest is based more faithfully on the novel of the same name than usual, but ends with M offering Cdr. Bond the opportunity to accept the 'job' that her predecessor offered him at the end of LTK.

James Bond will return in...?

James Bond will return in...?

The untitled script planned for '91/'93? We could come up with a title for it; it's certainly inventive enough to built a story upon...

ACE did that on the first page and named it THE HILDEBRAND RARITY.

I'm incredibly suprised to see this again pleasently though. Maybe I'll go back and work on "Hand of Death" now that I can write correctly
