Am I the only one to have noticed this...

...When Elvis falls down the stairs does his wig fall off?

[ImTheMoneypenny]

Elvis hands down every time I saw him I chuckled a little. Especially that weird simpleton look he had on his face watching the opera. Poor guy is simply terminally uncool and doesn't know it.

...When Elvis falls down the stairs does his wig fall off?

Oh yeah, I got a kick out of that. And then I started noticed whenever he was patting his toup down. I ended up laughing when as Elvis and Greene walk past those decorative marble balls in the Eco hotel. I laughed thinking of poor bald Elvis.

[Publius]

Greene forcing Elvis to guard the doorway, and then seeing how Elvis met his (unexpected to me) demise.

a thing that made me unintentionally laugh was Camille quitting her set of headphones and "guiding" Bond (headphones still on) with her own voice from the back of a roaring cargo plane. She must have quite a powerful voice!

Didn't you hear when she told him to get into the Beetle the second time?

The sequence in question occurs when Bond is pulled over by the two policemen, and before Mathis is shot. The policeman asks for Bond’s ID, to which Bond pulls out a large wad of cash. I found that hilarious. Bond thinks he can just pay off these corrupt men and be on his way.

Is that what he does? I never caught that, thanks!

Yep. No problem.

Mathis saying to the taxi driver 'SHUT UP PLEASE TAXITO!' or 'Si no te callas te voy a enseñar el calentamiento global' (If you don't shut up I'm going to show you some global warming)

Craig speaking spanish

Fields saying OH MY GISH I'M SO SORRY!!

Medrano saying to the girl in Perla de las Dunas 'Que bonia pregunta!.. una cervecita' (What a nice question! one beer please)

Mathis saying to Gemma not to give Bond wine

Elvis smiling to the guard in Tosca

When Bond throws his cellphone away after 'If you would avoid killing every possible lead'

Felix' face when Beam tells hime 'I wnat to know if you value your career' like lol WTF?

" Bond what happened with Slate?"
" I'm not dwelling on the past, I don't think you should either."

[sharpshooter]

" Bond what happened with Slate?"
" I'm not dwelling on the past, I don't think you should either."

Yeah, I loved that line.

When Bond throws his cellphone away after 'If you would avoid killing every possible lead'

My favorite of the few things Bond throws in that way is when he enters his hotel suite with Fields. He takes the keys from the porter, then just casually flings the keys across the room.

[Kristian]

I thought the exchange between Gemma and Mathis was priceless. She puts him in his place, and he tells her to work on her tan. Love it. Like an old married couple.

-When Craig flipped that bad guy's bike over.

-When Greene physically directed Elvis to stop running and fire his gun.

"We're teachers on sabbatical who just won the lottery."

[staveoffzombies]

While I'm sure it was unintentional, the yells that Greene gives when he's fighting Bond in the climax just cracked me up. He goes totally psycho.

I want to thank the members of this forum for reminding me of all the humor in this film. Looking back there was quite a few places to smile, if not actually chuckle.

Personally I found Greene's complete madman style of fighting pretty funny. The guy was everywhere - and about finished the highly-trained secret agent with that wildness.

[Judo chop]

I suspect* there was some good dialogue between Bond and Camille while the boat chase was on, but I couldn't hear it over all the ambient sound effects. Anybody catch what was said?



*I suspect, because their dialogue was good everywhere else in the film.

[Captain Tightpants]

The scene that got the best reaction from the audience was Bond relieving the lackey of his bike in Haiti. The line about the lottery didn't draw nearly as many laughs as I expected, mostly because it was subtitled. It proabably would have brought audience-wide chuckles like "Oh, I'm sorry. That last hand ... nearly killed me" did if it had been in Englsh.

[DaveBond21]

Did anyone else have some laughter in the audience when Bond dumps Mathis' body in the trash?

No, but 2 guys laughed when Camille opened up to Bond in the desert and said "He killed my father".

Also there were some chuckles when Bond and Camille had their freefall into the cave!! (much like the reaction to Bond "flying" after his bike in Goldeneye!).

[00Twelve]

I got a pretty good chuckle from both Leiter and Beam talking about the water.

The motorcycle rev/flip shocked me with a laugh.

Didn't expect M to be as funny as she was, even after CR. The "florists" line really got me going. So did her response to "dead end."

Elvis' wig coming off was great!

And may I say that while "It's time to get out" didn't have me openly laughing, I grinned from ear to ear and marveled at how the first line in QOS was every bit as Bondian-cool as the last line of CR.

[Captain Tightpants]

That's the thing about Craig: he can make even the most everyday line - like "It's time to get out", something you might say when droping th kids off to school - sound like pure Bond. I doubt even Connery could have done that.

[0012]

You know, I don't remember anyone mentioning it, but that line and the way it's filmed is an obvious reference to Octopussy. Forster was obviously very influenced by the Moore films. The way the camera freezes on Bond's face after the one-liner and then turns into the title sequence is exactly the same as "Fill 'er up, please" in Octopussy.

One I heard better the 2nd time around that got quite a good laugh from the audience was the exchange between Greene and Camille when Bond is there at the Eco Party.

He tells Bond "You know she's really quite stunning when you get her on her back"

and Camille replies "I wish I could say the feeling was mutual"

Possibly Camille's best line and a brilliant put down!!


Also didn't she threaten to break Elvis' wrist - a nice way of calling him a wanker!

[Jose]

I think it went something like-
Mathis: I think she has handcuffs
Bond: I do hope so.

When Fields trips Elvis on the stairs.

When Greene goes insane fighting Bond.

When Bond leaves Greene in the desert and tosses him the oil can.

[double o ego]

Ok, whoa whoa whoa, lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Everything Connery said was classic Bond stuff and I mean everything.

[Quincy]

LOL during these parts....

M: "What happend to Slate?"
Bond: "He was a dead end."
M: "That means he killed him."


Bond: "I missed!" *Flips bike over and kicks dude unconsious*

Bond's line to Felix on the phone about CIA and the taxi driver.

[Elvenstar]

Thanks for bits of dialogue here. I found that a lot of lines were translated differently.

On topic
Loved the moment when Cam told the truth to Greene's partners and Green takes her away. Then Elvis comes to the embarassed men and tells something like: "What a wonderful night!!!" So funny!
Elvis is really great all the time!

Funny to always see M's surprise about Bond kiling leads

Last scene is moving and funny at the same time. Everyone was laughing when M is again surprised this time by Bond NOT killing a man
A lot of laughs were during that scene when she asks wether Bond can explain why Green was found in the desert with bullets in his head and oil inside

Loved when Dan is always throwing something away like keys, cell phone like he still doesn't give damn

1 more funny lil moment that I adore when M asks Bond if he discovered Green's passport ID and he's like arrogantly "No". (probably thinking "what a Boss I have!")

I find curious that Mitchell's name is Craig
And moments with Tanner are funny too. M seems to have another man to teach lessons

Oh how couls I forget this

"My friends call me Dominic"
"I am sure, they do"

[Qbranchtech]

The whole exchange between Bond and Fields from the airport and motel lobby...

Which builds up to Craig's Spanish speaking payoff at the hotel lobby. The fact that they emphasized Fields playing it completely straight just adds to the humor.

The next best was the running gag between Bond and M about killing all the leads in the whole film. The payoff in Kazan was very funny and a bit touching as well.

Beam to Leiter at the fundraiser:
"Oh, lighten up.... you're cramping my style!"

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

The policeman asks for Bond’s ID

"Documentos, por favor"

Bond pulls out a large wad of cash.

I haven't noticed that.
