If we're going into scenes that are so bad they are funny, then I would have to put the climax of YOLT, where the villian's headquarters is blowing up and the bodies on the floor are popping up like minature toys (which they were).

Another would be the Dr. No car chase with the awful blue screens. But then again, that was 1962 and very low budget.

The really long death fall of the nameless hencjman in OHMSS..

I have to agree...it just goes on and on and on until I can't supress a laugh.

[HH007]

When Melena's parents are killed in FYEO, when she looks into the camera and the dramatic music swells.

The way Timothy Dalton delivers the line "...enough time for a sniper to make strawberry jam of him!" in TLD.

Just about any moment in DAD (way to easy a target).

"Cai... Cai... Cairo" in DAF.

Kannanga's death in LALD (at least I think that was unintentional).

[Colossus]

LTK...

Felix's expression in the PTS when they're running out of the helicopter in slowmo. He looks like he's on the can ready to **** a brick.

The way Bond wakes up in Sanchez's home.

Bond escaping from M. Robert Brown should've just played a badguy or something. Bond escapes while they try to fire on him (?) and M says "don't there's too many people!" to his guards. Forget the fact he's trying to kill his subordinate but what people is he talking about, his guards?

Sanchez killing the the whizkid. The tanker explodes and they trade some awkward dialogue like "great one Franz 80 million gone" and Sanchez quips "guess we should cut overhead then" before machinegunning him (?), something out of Walker Texas Ranger on Conan.

Bond riding around in a golfcart.

TB...

Bond looks like he's getting anally raped on that stretcher.

The inept badguys. Right after Fiona dies they all look at each other like they're pissing in their pants and dissapear.

The whole finale, I was laughing throughout it. Ineptness again when the SEALs drop in and stop Largo's hamfisted men, Bond in his scuba jetpack looks like Aquaman riding around, the Disco Volante turns into a giant carousel. The funniest thing though was when they leave half of the ship to fight the US Navy and there are guys actually running around shouting orders while one tiny cannon is firing against many cruisers/destroyers.

I love humour. But I have to say that I do not find any Bond movie "unintentionally funny". Maybe some of you chaps do not understand the "British Humour".

I am always amused by the scene in DAD during the swordfight where Toby Stephens rips off his fencing shirt/coat revealing a Daniel Craig-like buff physique underneath....and Broz stands there in a baggy long-sleeved shirt obviously not up for competing with him

I'm assuming that, at the time, Brozza had more of a Connery-circa-YOLT-era physique.

[David_M]

I can never tell whether it's meant to be funny or not, but I always laugh at the scene in TSWLM, where Roger's Bond sits down next to Kalba in the Mojabe Club and announces, with the usual swagger, "My name is Bond, James Bond," only to have Kalba look away and say in a bored voice, "What of it?"

Also, I have yet to meet the person who doesn't at least giggle when Sean's Bond has his feet pulled out from under him in Goldfinger and, on seeing Ms Blackman says, "Pooshey!"

"I wanna deep-six him."

This line is from a movie that, curiously, takes place in 1989, not 1942.

[DamnCoffee]

Yes! Milton Krests Homosexual innuendo was quite funny.

"I don't like it. He can finger me!"
"I wanna deep-six him."

Quite disgusting though.

List your favorite unintentionally funny Bond moments. Here are some of mine:


-The PTS of DAF

-When Jill Masterson shouts out "Who are you?" and Connery says "Bond, James Bond" as the Bond theme music cues up immediately.

-Roger Moore making quiche in AVTAK, and his facial expressions while he and Stacy are chatting and eating it.

-The fight between Necros and some other guy in a kitchen in TLD

-Most of the time Robert Brown was playing M

-When Scaramanga slides down a ramp in the PTS of TMWTGG and his assassin amazingly cannot shoot him

-When Mr. Big removes his mask

-The entire final confronation between Bond and Stromberg (especially Stromberg falling into his plate and Bond firing extra shots)

-Everything about Drax

-Bond's encounters with Xenia

-Bond chasing May Day up the Eiffel Tower



However, the MOST unintentionally funny moment for me was:

98 year-old Felix Leiter's wedding in LTK

This is fascinating, because.... virtually ALL the moments above I see as being supercool and not in the least funny in a bad way. Different strokes!

If that had actually happened, it would have been a miracle rather than funny (unintentional or otherwise) as the late Jill had been dead seven years by then...

[Mr. Somerset]

The "Bond. James Bond" from GF isn't exactly funny, it just defines Bondian cool. In the cinema it gets a loud cheer. Same with the version from Dr No. Now, his rendition of that line in NSNA is another matter all together.........

As for my fave unintentionally funny moments: I'll go with Broz's great facial expression when Paris says, "Did I get too close... for comfort?
Then follow it with Tim's wonderful : "Well they must have hit the FUEL-LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Joyce Carrington]

It's a question of the era too, isn't it, sometimes.

I've been going to some screenings in the Amsterdam Melkweg cinema and I've been enjoying the crowd reactions a lot. People could just not stop laughing at Bond slipping into his light-blue thingie in the GF Miami scenes. Also, even the background projections in the Dr. No car chase somehow were a laugh.

[quiller]

i don't know if it was intentional or not. but "i'll buy you a ???????. in stainless steel!" in the pcs of fyo always put's a bemused smile on my face.

I agree 100% with that "strawberry jam" line! Why was Bond acting so dramatic there? The "Cairo" line is good too.

[A Kristatos]

Two more moments involving Q. The first where he uses the "Microcompareter" to examine the microchip Bond brought back in AVTAK. Microcompareter???????????? Boy, at least try to come up with something a little more realistic that can do more than just examine a microship! Even Bond and M give each other a goofy look as if they are both in on the joke.

Also the "Identigraph" in FYEO, with that contraption coming up with (what a surprise!) an exact match of Kristatos's henchman that Bond saw for all of one second! It must be great to have a photographic memory!

Bond's reaction to Elektra's little freakout during the avalanche in TWINE.

And other than his desperate plea for her to look into his eyes, the immediate location itself played a significant part in the ironic comedy.

[Judo chop]

I agree 100% with that "strawberry jam" line! Why was Bond acting so dramatic there?

It's an underused, but completely accurate interpretation/representation of Fleming's Bond. James Bond HATES strawberries. The thought of not only losing his target to the enemy, but also losing him to the lowest form of breakfast preserves is unbearable to Bond, and Dalton nails the angst.

It's the same reason Trevelyan claims Natalya 'tastes like strawberries' on the train in Goldeneye. The turned agent knows all about Bond's enmity for the sweet seedy berry. It's an intentional jab to rile up James and break his focus.

I would say Bond surfing a Tsunami in DAD. Made me laugh and cringe at the same time.

He should know better not to challenge Hagrid.

Scene in Goldeneye when Q is explaining the belt. You can see Desmond is looking to his left to read the cards and not looking directly at Brosnan. I always have a little chuckle during that encounter.

He did that in all of his last three films; it was a little sad, really.
