FYEO beating FRWL and TB, 2 superior films it rips off? Sheesh!

It certainly does not rip them off and for them being superior well that's an opinion.

TB-The leading lady is played by a beautiful brunette French actress. Her character assists Bond to gain revenge on the villain who killed her brother. Her character also saves Bond's life by shooting a villain with a spear gun.

I noticed that you left out beautiful when describing-comparing Melina.
Melina is gorgeous!!!


And all your comparisons are inspirations not rip offs like you stated them to be.

Yes! For Your Eyes Only Won!

And since this was the best of the winners game,no restarting it just because your favorite film didn't win.
But if anyone has any other ideas for elimination games(favorite car,director,or anything you can come up with)i'll be up for it.

Whomever this BloodDeamon was, you and he flooded the game; it's unfair by my book.

First off maybe you should check the other persons profile.It's a she not a he.
Secondly how's it flooding when we happened to be the only two on to play the game? If someone else had been on that wanted to partake then of course they would have,it's not like we kept anyone else from playing. I play these elimination games for the same reason i come on this board,because it's fun.
For one it's just a game and two i've seen you do the same thing(flooding) in some of the other elimination games.You get angry or upset whenever the movie you like doesn't win.Yet everytime you've done the same thing to me i'm fine with it and i move on to the next game.You should do the same thing.

It certainly does not rip them off and for them being superior well that's an opinion.

TB-The leading lady is played by a beautiful brunette French actress. Her character assists Bond to gain revenge on the villain who killed her brother. Her character also saves Bond's life by shooting a villain with a spear gun.

I noticed that you left out beautiful when describing-comparing Melina.
Melina is gorgeous!!!

I'll concede that was an oversight on my part which I had originally thought I included when I was editing my post. Now corrected. Indeed Melina is very lovely. Hence it now reads as follows:

FRWL-Bond is involved in a Cold War mission to retrive the Lector device
FYEO-Bond is involved in a Cold War mission to retrieve the ATAC device

FRWL-Bond battles the blond henchman Red Grant
FYEO-Bond battles the blond henchman Erik Krigler

FRWL-Bond returns to his hotel room to find Tatiana waiting for him in bed
FYEO-Bond returns to his hotel room to find Bibi waiting for him in bed

FRWL-Bond becomes involved in the blood feud between his friend Kerim Bey and Bey's old enemy, a Soviet backed crook named Krilenchu
FYEO-Bond becomes involved in the blood feud between his friend Columbo and Columbo's old enemy , a Soviet backed crook named Kristatos

FYEO-The leading lady is played by a beautiful brunette French actress. Her character assists Bond to gain revenge on the villain who killed her parents.Her character also saves Bond's life by shooting a villain with a crossbow.

TB-Bond pursues a nuclear weapon trapped in a submerged vehicle under the sea.
FYEO-Bond pursues a nuclear weapon trapped in a submerged vehicle under the sea.

There are others but I'll let it go at that for now. Even Steven Jay Rubin(who's a big FYEO fan BTW) concedes that FYEO does get "inspiration" from these 2 earlier Bond classics(which he does rate higher than FYEO)

I would also add from OHMSS-

The PTS is the obvious reference to that one.

OHMSS-Bond gets involved in a romance with a countess who ends up killed by the villain. He and the countess spend their first evening knowing each other at a casino before they spend the night together. Bond gets kidnapped by the other most important man in her life, her father, who is a friendly gangster. Their first scene together involves the two of them battling a gangster's thugs on the beach. The friendly gangster helps Bond in the final battle atop a mountain fortress. Bond's skiing sequences in the film.

So you concede that the FYEO elements I listed aren't exactly original.

Congratulations again FYEO. In it's acceptance speech for this award I'm sure FYEO would like to thank FRWL, OHMSS and TB(as I irrefutably proved in my earlier post, see above) for making it's existence possible .

Whomever this BloodDeamon was, you and he flooded the game; it's unfair by my book.

That's why I think its more effective if only 1 vote is allowed per day or elimination "Survivor" style.

On another note i'm a fan of Octopussy as well and i know you are.In your opinion does Octopussy draw any inspiration or elements from former bond films?

Oh, of course it does. I would say GF for the most part. The similarly named leading lady who is captain of an all female criminal gang(all beauties of course). The henchman crumbling the dice/golfball. The villain's cheating(GF at golf/My namesake at backgammon). The plot to set off a nuclear bomb to improve a villain's business(Goldfinger gold, Orlov-the Russian military). The pretitle sequence in a Latin American nation involving Bond setting off a bomb to destroy an enemies business while telling his contact he's heading to Miami. The sense of deja vu in the Bond films doesn't necessarily keep me from enjoying them. CR was probably the most original Bond film since OHMSS(possible exceptions being the Dalton films) but even CR, LTK and TLD all have "inspirations" from earlier Bond films.

So, you're saying both Octopussy and AVTAK are ripoffs of Goldfinger?
