I understand that on the Region 1 version of Die another Day has heavy cuts made to the Bond and Jinx sex scene, my question is:

What exactly is cut, how long does it last and how does the scene flow (do you notice the cuts)?

Thanks

Maybe she swallows...

...her fig.

[Vauxhall]

Hehehe

As I understand it, they cut some of Jinx's wilder sound effects.

[zencat]

I know...maybe after she whips out her fig and starts eating, they cut back to Bond and he whips out an apple and starts chomping away.

Sorry...the

Didn't Brosnan save Berrys life between takes when she choked on a fig?

Ah yes, I remember the newspapers/websites going nuts with that one.

Who wouldn't want to do the heimlich manouver on Halle Berry in the buff?

[DamnCoffee]

I bet pierce was gagging aswell

It would be rather hard to keep the hands where they ought to be.

It's just so impossibly goofy. If there is any scene in the series I can't take seriously it's this one.

Is it the only Bond scene to feature an orgasm??

[Righty007]

Is it the only Bond scene to feature an orgasm??

Xenia Onatopp had an orgasm in most of her scenes.

Is it the only Bond scene to feature an orgasm??

Well, Mr.Wint apparently derived a certain amount of "pleasure" from Bond pulling his coattails up between his legs

[DaveBond21]

Yes, Xenia seemed to be, when killing people that is for sure.


And I am not sure Mr Wint quite had time to!!! It was all a bit quick!


I don't think any other Bond girls did??

[bond_girl_double07]

puzzles over how to say this tastefully...

This is the first scene I remember where Bond is implicitly shown at orgasm.. they always hint with the girls, but this is the only scene I remember that focuses on Bond.

it's too bad they brought in the fig, it could have been quite a good scene.

Yes, and Jinx describes him as frisky. I think I would be a little more than frisky if I hadn't had any for 14 months or however long it was!!

I think the scene works thanks to Arnold's score. I think his forte is always the slower music, his action cues all tend to sound similar.

Sorry...the “erotic” fig beat...it's just so lame, it invites ridicule.

Agreed. That scene is quite possibly the least sexy sex scene I have seen. (Try saying that fast). I'm still flummoxed as to why, at 'that moment', Jinx's first thought is to grab a fig. It just seems so utterly... random.

Still, different strokes for different folks. So to speak.

Agreed.

Still...I can buy the "fig thing," to a certain extent.

The knife?

I mean, honestly, where would she keep it?

[DamnCoffee]

Is it the only Bond scene to feature an orgasm??

No, but its the first time we see Bond having an orgasm.

[Blonde Bond]

The knife?

I mean, honestly, where would she keep it?

Under the pillow, right next to Bond's gun...

[00Twelve]

That scene is so badly done...I blame Halle more than Pierce. Pierce was doing his best to keep the scene viable. But the END scene is even worse. Who else expected the shot to cut to outside the hut again as we hear "Oh, JIIINX!!"

[DamnCoffee]

Oh i didn't catch that line!

[00Twelve]

No, it didn't happen, I just sarcastically expected it to.

[DaveBond21]

LOL!!!
