Lazenby's voice being looped with George Baker's when Bond plays "Sir Hilary".

Absolutely...makes me shudder!

[Qwerty]

Halle Berry's mouthful in DAD.

True. Some of those lines just really do not work.

Lazenby's voice being looped with George Baker's when Bond plays "Sir Hilary".

Yes I totaly agree with you on this Prince.. It was totaly unnecessary to dub Lazenby.

It also makes it harder for a 1st time viewer to accept Laz in his only turn as Bond when they pulled that. It hurt my enjoyment of OHMSS the 1st time I watched it.

George Baker's voice is used for all the scenes when Bond is playing the role of Sir Hilary.

Some good ones mentioned here. My main little irritation that becomes disproportionately annoying is one I've mentioned before:

Poossy. It's Pussy!!! NOT Poossy - she said herself it was Pussy, have the manners not to change it to suit yourself!

So are you saying it's Madonna??

[connery&dalton]

Here are my pet peeves for each film:

Dr. No- That stupid looking dragon on diesel engines.
From Russia With Love- Gypsy Cat Fight
Goldfinger-If that hat could chop off the head of a statue, it should have chopped off Tilly's head.
Thunderball-The editing mistakes in the underwater scenes.
You Only Live Twice-Connery lowering his head after he's become Japanese.
OHMSS-The Ruby brain washing scene. Atleast it's a good lesson on how to love chickens.
Diamonds Are Forever-The oil rig battle. It is painfully dull.
Live and Let Die-The Voodoo witch doctor that does the sacrificing. He is cheesy.
TMWTGG- Bond grabbing the Sumo's butt.
The Spy Who Loved Me-Its inability to explain who is going to live in that underwater city.
Moonraker-The rubber snake
For Your Eyes Only-The Identograph
Octopussy-Tarzan yell. Why would Bond yell like Tarzan? Is he having fun or something?
A View To A Kill-The fight in Stacey Sutton's house.
The Living Daylights- Whitaker
Licence To Kill-That stupid wedding.
GoldenEye-Not using the gadgets on his car.
Tomorrow Never Dies-Jack Wade's cameo.
TWINE-The boring ski chase.
Die Another Day-Mr. Kill
Casino Royale-The title song.

[sharpshooter]

The Tarzan yell for me.

[Little Nelly]

So are you saying it's Madonna??

Madonna's "reveal" in Blades is without doubt the most cringeworthy moment in 40 years of Bond films.

[Bondian]

The very occasional "What are they paying you?. We'll double it".

Bond offering money to the villain so he doesn't blow up the world.

[Rene Mathis]

Octopussy-Tarzan yell. Why would Bond yell like Tarzan? Is he having fun or something?

He wouldnt, am I the only one who assumes that tarzan yell was just John Barry chucking in a sound effect like the silly TMWTGG whistle.

I personally cant stand the winking fish from Licence To Kill, to think of the time, effort and bit of budget that went into creating that.

[007Bond]

Having given so bad scenarios for Brosnan then fired him on a snap.

[Major Tallon]

Octopussy-Tarzan yell. Why would Bond yell like Tarzan? Is he having fun or something?

He wouldnt, am I the only one who assumes that tarzan yell was just John Barry chucking in a sound effect like the silly TMWTGG whistle.

I agree with this. I've always thought that the Tarzan yell, like TMWTGG's slide whistle, was a superimposed sound effect, intended to make the audience laugh, rather than something Bond actually did in the scene.

[Badfinger-Boogie]

Dr. No - The cheesy thumping sound the silencers made. Also how Prof. Dent bounces as he's getting shot
From Russia With Love - Kronsteen's squeal as he gets stabbed with the boot
Goldfinger - Tilly Masterson
Thunderball - As amusing as it is, how that guy who helped Domino out at the end disappears after he gets off the boat. What happened? Did a shark eat him?
You Only Live Twice - Blofeld points his gun to Bond and says "Now is the price for failure!" but then turns and shoots Osato instead
OHMSS - Draco risking Bond's life by setting the charges in Piz Gloria so quickly, and how Bond never had time to snap all the pictures of the girls
Diamonds Are Forever - How it mostly ignored events from the previous film
Live And Let Die - Rosie Carver
TMWTGG - Hai Fat's poorly-delivered speech to Scaramanga about where he wanted to be buried or whatever he said
The Spy Who Loved Me - Not that it was their fault, but I didn't like how they originally planned to have Blofeld in the movie, but then he didn't appear
Moonraker - The whole explanation of the difference between the red darts and the blue darts. It never became relevant
For Your Eyes Only - That Spanish music riff that plays after Melina's parents get shot down and we get a close-up of her eyes. Just doesn't sound right somehow
Octopussy - The guards shooting at Orlov when he was trying to get on the train. It seemed a bit of a harsh thing for them to do (even though he was one of the bad guys)
A View To A Kill - When Bond and Stacey are trying to escape from the burning elevator shaft, and then he gets through the door and it shuts and he doesn't give her any reassurance right away
The Living Daylights - John Terry as Felix
Licence To Kill - The music in the gunbarrel opening
GoldenEye - The car that Q shows and explains to Bond doesn't get used!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow Never Dies - Paris Carver
TWINE - Christmas Jones' lack of real surprise as her buddies in the underground place (where Bond first meets Renard) get gunned down
Die Another Day - Miranda Frost
Casino Royale - Valenka's weird dress

[Mr. Blofeld]

Casino Royale 1967 - Kronsteen gets blown up, Le Chiffre gets shot through a camera monitor (!), and James Bond, though stiff-lipped and snooty, has had two illegitimate daughters. Oh, and Woody Allen is a Blofeld-copy.

Please don't go after CR '67, it's just too easy a target!

Anyway, another irritation would be Connery's flabby, hairy man-boobs in DAF. Oh, and the fact he basically phones in his performance in that one.

Disagree about Connery's performance. He may be Bond at his fattest there but he seemed to be having a good time. I think DAF features one of his most enjoyable 007 performances.

[HH007]

The dramatic music and extreme close up of Melina's eyes after her parents get killed in FYEO. It's supposed to be this really dramatic moment, but it just makes me laugh every time I see it.

That's Carole Bouquet doing her best Barbara Bach impression.

Not bad, huh?

Well, if you look at it that way, no, not bad at all.

It does feel a bit out of place, doesn't it? And speaking of Barbara Bach, I'm not awfully keen on her acting during the scene where Bond reveals she shot Mr Anya. From her reading of the lines, it sounds more like Bond's peed on the toilet seat, rather than just killed her lover!

I also don't like the gangsters in Goldfinger. For some reason, their lines - especially 'what's with that trick pool-table?' - just seem really trite. Maybe they just stand out more since they're in an otherwise great film (as opposed to, say, DAD), but still...

[Simon]

The horribly edited, stop-motion shot of the climbing doohickey breaking from the cliff wall in FYEO.

You probably don't like the same editing technique for the steel cables snapping in the elevator shaft of AVTAK then.

Connery's line in Diamonds Are Forever "You stupid twit. You've put the original one back in").

Not much of a gentleman here.
