in QOS the boat sequence should have ended after bond rescues Camillie from the Generals boat ... I think that is the way it was intended ... but Dan Bradly and Simon Crane got carried away!
Yes, but unlike Morzeny - who idiotically stops his boats in the middle of what he knows is an oil spill and trap in FRWL - General Medrano orders his zodiacs to go after his would be assassin (Camile). Any deposed general who is "jealous of their safely" (as spoken by Greene to Camille as the general is arriving to port) would want to exact revenge. If you were Medrano and had zodiacs at your diposal, would you do what he does? Or would you be like Morzeny and be a dumb pussy? Which one would you be?
Bond's rescue of Camille was never going to end without a reprisal.
C'mon guys!
SighMorzeny had no idea that the barrels were punctured, and the reason why he stopped was because he thought Bond had given up, and Bond indicated this by releasing the barrels. Notice also Bond putting his hands up. Even Tania had no idea why they were stopping as she thought they could move faster without the load. Morzeny thought Bond was trapped and had nowhere go, he wasn't banking on the flare gun
We have a saying in England, where there's smoke...there's fire! Once again Sir Sean is always one step ahead the audience (His Bond is the smartest out of the six) some forty-seven years later! Lol!
As for which chase is more flawed. QoS definitely because it's poorly done and oh so underwhelming. Bond finds out Greene's name on a boat in the middle of bullets whizzing by. Fine I'll go along with that, but he could have found out that info in the car with Camille. After Camille shot at him he jumped out of the car, for no reason since he had her by the wrist. Unless Camille kicked him out, which I doubt. So, why did he jump out of the car and then chase her again? Oh...I see. So we could have another boring action sequence. It was there for the sake of being there, the fact that Bond finds out about Greene was something Zetumer put in there to make it look as if it's moving the story along.
TWINE at least it tries, and tries very hard. The effort is there for you to see, and if the rest of the movie was as ambitious as this PTS, it would have been a solid entry.
FRWL largely unnecessary, but very entertaining and linked the DN/FRWL universe to the GF universe in a way. The sequence from the Oriental Express to the last scene with Rosa Klebb is fantastic. It enhances Bond as an agent. The reason why it was put on there was probably because the movie was too short.
