Hopefully we'll be able to get to Round 4 tomorrow. I think that I've got a very good action sequence idea for my Rome location involving CT's villain.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Is it all right for me to slip in a location for my action sequence in Round 4?

[coco1997]

What kind of location?

[Captain Tightpants]

Hopefully we'll be able to get to Round 4 tomorrow. I think that I've got a very good action sequence idea for my Rome location involving CT's villain.

Gideon Granger? He dies in Burma - Bond electrocutes him on the antenna array.

Oops. Never mind then.

Excuse my negligence on that one. I haven't gotten completely caught up on everything for this round yet.

Either way, though, I think that I've got a pretty good idea for a scene that kind of jives with the overall tone I think a villain like Granger would bring to the film.

[coco1997]

I'll have to think hard for my fourth round submission. The new rule kind of limits my choices, as I'm not very good at devising locations and I've already submitted a gadget, actor and PTS idea. I guess I'll have to come up with a composer or location.

[Captain Tightpants]

Either way, though, I think that I've got a pretty good idea for a scene that kind of jives with the overall tone I think a villain like Granger would bring to the film.

You could do it in Isthmus City. Bond - or at least the action - takes place there in the remains of Franz Sanchez's drug empire. Despite being a Big Bad, he did offer an element of stability to the country, but ever since his death, the entire country has collapsed and has been absorbed into Honduras. I mistly want Bond to face up to what happened in LICENCE TO KILL, but you could work Granger into Isthmus. After all, he has to come into the story sooner or later.

I'll see if perhaps I can come up with something for Isthmus City. The sequence I had in mind for Rome is kind of dependent on it being set in Rome (a problem I've noticed I've had consistently over the course of these projects: having the action sequence depend too heavily on certain locations), with the catacombs serving as a backdrop for at least the initial portions of it. If I can find some way to incorporate a similar idea into Isthmus City, it's certainly something that I'll look at.

[Captain Tightpants]

I see no reason why Isthmus City cannot have catacombs. We only really saw the casino, the hotel, the bank, the dock and Sanchez's villa in LICENCE TO KILL. Plenty of capacity for other stuff. Like catacombs.

I'll do some research on it tonight and see what can be done about possibly doing something in Isthmus City.

1 Bond - Timothy Dalton

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Joan Chen as Chun Qiao, hacker, political activist and fugitive; born in Hong Kong, now wanted all over the world for the release of sensitive government/military documents.
3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki): Iman Abdulmajid as Miss Sienna Lauder (Apart from being 'Mrs David Bowie', Iman was Marta in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and played Mariammo in 'Out of Africa' alongside Klaus Maria Brandauer and Michael Kitchen; I picture Lauder as being a bit of a do-gooder, a human-rights-activist).
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling):

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): Robert Maillet as Savatier, a mute, remorseless killer with a noticeably scarred throat

6 Villain 1: Wilhelm von Homburg as Amadeus Stahl, a retired German boxer turned criminal
7 Villain 2: Alan Rickman as Gideon Granger and Jean Reno as Dark Granger, a serial killer who externalises his crimes by taking LSD when he cannot control his murderous impulses. This has created a distinct Jekyll-and-Hyde type of personality. He sees Bond as his saviour, associating Bond with his murderous side, Dark Granger. He becomes obsessed with Bond, believing him to be the physical manifestation of Dark Granger, and wants to kill him as he believes it will kill Dark Granger at the same time, finally freeing him. Dark Granger is classified as a "disorganised" serial killer, in that he does not actually plan his crimes. Rather, he simply responds to the urge to kill by taking LSD and letting Dark Granger take over. When Gideon Granger (Rickman) takes the LSD, he hallucinates that Dark Granger (Reno) is the one committing the crimes. Granger kills by slashing his victims' major veins arteries - the aorta, jugular, femoral, etc. - with a straight razor. His profile indicates that he has medical knowledge for the accuracy with which he cuts them, but this is contradicted by the fact that one cut would be enough to kill them when he cuts all of them.

20 Location 5: New Zealand, particularly Rotorua (geysers, bubbling mud pools to throw someone into, Lake Rotorua for an underground/underwater base, and hot springs for the romantic assignation afterwards).

KEY PLOT POINTS

21 Villains' Plot: (if you have submitted any of the plots for the UB Anthology Project, you can't fill this field in - let's give other people a chance of filling in this most important of fields)

An unstoppable computer virus penetrates the weapons systems of Britain and several other countries. The countries are forced to do the villain's bidding or he will order their weapons to attack each other, effectively causing World War Three. (Yes, I'm picturing this as Dalton's variation on YOLT/TSWLM/TND, with the "modern" and "cutting edge" threat of computer viruses!).

22 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Bond is staying in a small cottage, his only companion a dog. Against a brooding sky, Bond rides a motorcycle, with the dog trotting alongside, when they hear a plane overhead; Bond looks up to see a shapely parachutist descending. When she lands the dog runs to greet her, against Bond’s wishes. Once he has the animal in check, Bond introduces himself to the skydiver (Any suggestions as to what role, if any, the skydiver plays in the main story can be up to the group). A Land Rover appears, and Bond’s assumption that the vehicle is there to pick up the girl is proven incorrect when it veers towards him and tries to run him over. After the third attempt, Bond is sideswiped and on the ground when the driver attempts to kill Bond with a pistol, which Bond is able to karate chop away. Once Bond has the revolver, he fires at the vehicle, which then crashes and flings the driver out. Bond examines the body and it turns out to be __________ (Again, this can be discussed amongst the group. Perhaps an actual assassin has infiltrated the Falklands, although that might be too similar to “TLD”).
23 Major Stunt 1: Through lots of proper detective work Bond has tracked Chun down to a major city, where he engineers a chance encounter at a café or somewhere scenic. Flirting eventually leads to a sexually-charged dance. It is made clear that they've quickly figured out the other for who they are, but are continuing the charade because of the undeniable mutual attraction. Chun invites Bond to her chique top floor apartment that night, where he proposes he take her in (she's been offered amnesty or a reduced sentence if she'll help). She refuses, a fight develops, but with both of them disarmed and in close quarters kissing soon follows. Bond wakes the next morning handcuffed to a bedpost, and Chun informing him she's just alerted the police to a break-in, before giving him a farewell kiss and heading out the window. Bond uses a gadget or brute strength to get out of the handcuffs and, still only half-dressed, evades the police and pursues Chun across the rooftops.
24 Major Stunt 2: Coming out of danger from (INSERT PREVIOUS ACTION SEQUENCE HERE), Bond and (INSERT BOND GIRL HERE) happen upon an old logging camp. With no other means of transport, the two clamp on some skiis and attempt to go down the slopes to some semblance of civilization -- except Stahl has learned that Bond (INSERT ACTION FROM PREVIOUS SEQUENCE HERE), and sends his goons out; they commandeer a logging chopper from the site, and try to run down Bond and (INSERT BOND GIRL HERE) with the deadly sawblades hanging from their helicopter as the two ski through treacherous hazards.
25 Major Stunt 3: Bond is trapped in a prison that is a cross between the Russian Woodpecker and the Hanoi Hilton. Bond is very nearly executed at the gallows before a team of soldiers sent by Leonid Pushkin attack the camp (unaware that Bond is currently being held prisoner). Their attack results in the prison being set on fire. With the help of Sienna - who is currently incarcerated as a human rights activist - Bond must scale the outside of the transmitter to destroy the beacon, then take out the massive power array that is powering it. Gideon Granger is killed in the process. Having chased Bond up the transmitter tower, he is electrocuted when he is trapped on the tower and Bond overloads the power array. Bond and Sienna then have to find a way through the prison as it burns around them. They narrowly escape before everything collapses in around them.

I like that one. If it happens in Isthmus City, it could work really well. Especially if Chun knows what Bond did to Franz Sanchez and has tipped off the Isthmus City authorities who are currently looking for him (possibly because they believe Sanchez was killed by an underling - like Dario, whose body has naturally never been recovered - in an attempt to take control of his empire).

That could work really well. I like that Chun knows a lot about Bond, at least as much if not more than he knows about her. Gives an edge to their banter. A Third World country is a good place for a fugitive to hang out - although the internet connections might not be the best in the world, and their freedom of speech laws will be a little lax. Maybe Chun is even aware that Bond's been tracking her, and lures him to Isthmus/Honduras specifically because of his history there.

29 Gadget 1: A set of shaped charges that are disguised as rosary beads. Each bead is a tiny wad of high-density explosive inside a concussive metal plate that is used to direct the the force of the blast, effectively making it a series of miniature claymore mines. The rosary beads can be strung out to form a circle the size of a dinner plate, with the wire connecting them all acting as a detoantor cord (the beads cannot be removed from the wire and exploded independently). The crucifix serves as the detonator and has a ten-second delay. Theoretically, the small shape and concussive plates mean that Bond can stand right next to it and detonate them safetly; for example, if he were locked in a safe the size of the fridge, he could place the beads on the inside of the door and blow a hole in it large enough to reach through with little to no danger to himself.

KEY PLOT POINTS

21 Villains' Plot: (if you have submitted any of the plots for the UB Anthology Project, you can't fill this field in - let's give other people a chance of filling in this most important of fields)

An unstoppable computer virus penetrates the weapons systems of Britain and several other countries. The countries are forced to do the villain's bidding or he will order their weapons to attack each other, effectively causing World War Three. (Yes, I'm picturing this as Dalton's variation on YOLT/TSWLM/TND, with the "modern" and "cutting edge" threat of computer viruses!).

22 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Bond is staying in a small cottage, his only companion a dog. Against a brooding sky, Bond rides a motorcycle, with the dog trotting alongside, when they hear a plane overhead; Bond looks up to see a shapely parachutist descending. When she lands the dog runs to greet her, against Bond’s wishes. Once he has the animal in check, Bond introduces himself to the skydiver (Any suggestions as to what role, if any, the skydiver plays in the main story can be up to the group). A Land Rover appears, and Bond’s assumption that the vehicle is there to pick up the girl is proven incorrect when it veers towards him and tries to run him over. After the third attempt, Bond is sideswiped and on the ground when the driver attempts to kill Bond with a pistol, which Bond is able to karate chop away. Once Bond has the revolver, he fires at the vehicle, which then crashes and flings the driver out. Bond examines the body and it turns out to be __________ (Again, this can be discussed amongst the group. Perhaps an actual assassin has infiltrated the Falklands, although that might be too similar to “TLD”).
23 Major Stunt 1: Through lots of proper detective work Bond has tracked Chun down to a major city, where he engineers a chance encounter at a café or somewhere scenic. Flirting eventually leads to a sexually-charged dance. It is made clear that they've quickly figured out the other for who they are, but are continuing the charade because of the undeniable mutual attraction. Chun invites Bond to her chique top floor apartment that night, where he proposes he take her in (she's been offered amnesty or a reduced sentence if she'll help). She refuses, a fight develops, but with both of them disarmed and in close quarters kissing soon follows. Bond wakes the next morning handcuffed to a bedpost, and Chun informing him she's just alerted the police to a break-in, before giving him a farewell kiss and heading out the window. Bond uses a gadget or brute strength to get out of the handcuffs and, still only half-dressed, evades the police and pursues Chun across the rooftops.
24 Major Stunt 2: Coming out of danger from (INSERT PREVIOUS ACTION SEQUENCE HERE), Bond and (INSERT BOND GIRL HERE) happen upon an old logging camp.

25 Major Stunt 3: Bond is trapped in a prison that is a cross between the Russian Woodpecker and the Hanoi Hilton. Bond is very nearly executed at the gallows before a team of soldiers sent by Leonid Pushkin attack the camp (unaware that Bond is currently being held prisoner). Their attack results in the prison being set on fire. With the help of Sienna - who is currently incarcerated as a human rights activist - Bond must scale the outside of the transmitter to destroy the beacon, then take out the massive power array that is powering it.

28 Bond's Car (inc. car gadgets - if any): Aston Martin Virage (all the usual extras: ejector seat, heat seeking missiles, ejectible tacks, oil slick dispensor etc - the car was introduced in 1990 and was later replaced by the Vanquish)

29 Gadget 1: A set of shaped charges that are disguised as rosary beads. Each bead is a tiny wad of high-density explosive inside a concussive metal plate that is used to direct the the force of the blast, effectively making it a series of miniature claymore mines. The rosary beads can be strung out to form a circle the size of a dinner plate, with the wire connecting them all acting as a detoantor cord (the beads cannot be removed from the wire and exploded independently). The crucifix serves as the detonator and has a ten-second delay. Theoretically, the small shape and concussive plates mean that Bond can stand right next to it and detonate them safetly; for example, if he were locked in a safe the size of the fridge, he could place the beads on the inside of the door and blow a hole in it large enough to reach through with little to no danger to himself.
30 Gadget 2: A pack of cigarettes which generate red smoke (as in a flare) when burned
31 Gadget 3: A digital data container that can be plugged into any computer but is disguised as a pen. A gadget for Chun Qiao - it could carry secret documents, the virus, its cure, etc. Basically a USB stick, but that would be space age stuff in 1990.

[Captain Tightpants]

I'm not sure what we're doing about the main villain. As it stands, I'd probably go with Gideon Granger being the villain. He could be the world's leading expert on serial killers, largely because he is one himself. He has been tasked by the DEA with helping them locate Bond in the aftermath of the events of LICENCE TO KILL. Realising who Bond is and seeing this as his chance to free himself from his dark side, he uses Chun to acquire a sample of a monster computer virus and hijacks the world's military defences to lure Bond out into the open and kill him, thus freeing Granger of his dark alter ego.

In this case, Stahl should be the one to die in Burma, not Granger. Unless we want to move Burma down the order to be the scene of the grande finale.

That could work really well. I like that Chun knows a lot about Bond, at least as much if not more than he knows about her. Gives an edge to their banter. A Third World country is a good place for a fugitive to hang out - although the internet connections might not be the best in the world, and their freedom of speech laws will be a little lax. Maybe Chun is even aware that Bond's been tracking her, and lures him to Isthmus/Honduras specifically because of his history there.

Maybe she's working with the Isthmus/Honduran authorities. An early idea I had for an ally before terminus introduced his latest rule would be someone like Ed Harris as "Jason Natall" or "Dean Soma" (I never settled on a name - but bonus points if you get the reference), a DEA agent stationed in Isthmus who got very interested in Sanchez's empire after it fell apart. After finding Sanchez's body in the desert and the destroyed cocaine production facility, the DEA came to the conclusion that Sanchez was overthrown by Dario (after all, they never found Dario's body for obvious reasons). Without any solid photographs of the sociopath to go by, they came to the conclusion that Bond was Dario.

At the same time, Chun has been picked up somewhere by the authorities. Maybe she's some kind of freelance hacker employed by Beijing (for plausible deniability) to tap into DEA slush funds where they store the proceeds from the drug trade and gets caught in the process. Chun, as an agent of China, is facing charges of espionage - but she knows of Bond's activites and realises the DEA and the Hondurans want him on charges of murder. So she cuts a deal to lure Bond to Isthmus City in exchange for her freedom. Rather than having the whole can-I-trust-you? subplot cropping up between them, or the cliche of mismatched-personalities-forced-to-work-together like bad buddy cop films, Bond and Chun come to an agreement that what she did was just business. In a way, Bond needs to re-visit Isthmus City to face up to what he did (just as he had to visit Yusuf in QUANTUM OF SOLACE); meanwhile, Chun finds out about this monster virus that is threatening to take control of the world's computerised military equipment, and Bond has the skills to end the threat, so they team up by mutual recognition of the other's value.

CAST

1 Bond - Timothy Dalton

2 Bond Girl 1 (Main ie Pussy Galore/Kissy): Joan Chen as Chun Qiao, hacker, political activist and fugitive; born in Hong Kong, now wanted all over the world for the release of sensitive government/military documents.
3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki): Iman Abdulmajid as Miss Sienna Lauder (Apart from being 'Mrs David Bowie', Iman was Marta in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and played Mariammo in 'Out of Africa' alongside Klaus Maria Brandauer and Michael Kitchen; I picture Lauder as being a bit of a do-gooder, a human-rights-activist).
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling):

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): Robert Maillet as Savatier, a mute, remorseless killer with a noticeably scarred throat

6 Villain 1: Wilhelm von Homburg as Amadeus Stahl, a retired German boxer turned criminal
7 Villain 2: Alan Rickman as Gideon Granger and Jean Reno as Dark Granger, a serial killer who externalises his crimes by taking LSD when he cannot control his murderous impulses. This has created a distinct Jekyll-and-Hyde type of personality. He sees Bond as his saviour, associating Bond with his murderous side, Dark Granger. He becomes obsessed with Bond, believing him to be the physical manifestation of Dark Granger, and wants to kill him as he believes it will kill Dark Granger at the same time, finally freeing him. Dark Granger is classified as a "disorganised" serial killer, in that he does not actually plan his crimes. Rather, he simply responds to the urge to kill by taking LSD and letting Dark Granger take over. When Gideon Granger (Rickman) takes the LSD, he hallucinates that Dark Granger (Reno) is the one committing the crimes. Granger kills by slashing his victims' major veins arteries - the aorta, jugular, femoral, etc. - with a straight razor. His profile indicates that he has medical knowledge for the accuracy with which he cuts them, but this is contradicted by the fact that one cut would be enough to kill them when he cuts all of them.

In this case, Stahl should be the one to die in Burma, not Granger. Unless we want to move Burma down the order to be the scene of the grande finale.

Like I said, I don't mind what happens to Stahl. He could be the main villain or play second fiddle, as long as he's not treated like a henchman. I know some have implied that that's essentially what he is (perhaps due to his inability to speak English and his past as a boxer) but that doesn't mean he has to be some sort of meathead. To throw in a "Batman" reference, he could be like an aged Bane from the comics--as cunning as he is physically imposing.

Maybe she's working with the Isthmus/Honduran authorities. An early idea I had for an ally before terminus introduced his latest rule would be someone like Ed Harris as "Jason Natall" or "Dean Soma" (I never settled on a name - but bonus points if you get the reference), a DEA agent stationed in Isthmus who got very interested in Sanchez's empire after it fell apart.

Perhaps terminus would be alright with you adding the character anyway, even though the ally field has already been filled out? Dr. Hildebrand was added later to the pro forma as a villain even though the villain fields had all been filled out. And Felix Leiter is a pretty stock ally character anyway--given that this is a direct follow up to "LTK", I can see no way how he couldn't make an appearance.

[terminus]

An action sequence involving the concorde would be cool - but would the concorde have been allowed to fly over American soil? I know there were flights to New York and Washington, but non that would have crossed the mainland over Monument Valley - it would need to be a charter flight.

A charter flight would work.

By the way, terminus, your submission for Bond's car is EXACTLY what I had hoped someone would submit.

[terminus]

Glad you like - had to look up what the newest AM would have been in 1990 and although the Virage may not have come out until post-FTWD (like the BMW in GoldenEye), a prototype could have been loaned to the production company

Re: adding the DEA as an extra character and not combining him with Gideon Granger, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to that. We've added extra characters that haven't been in the proforma to pretty much every treatment we've done - to some extent or another.

3 Bond Girl 2 (Minor ie Tilly Masterson/Aki): Iman Abdulmajid as Miss Sienna Lauder (Apart from being 'Mrs David Bowie', Iman was Marta in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and played Mariammo in 'Out of Africa' alongside Klaus Maria Brandauer and Michael Kitchen; I picture Lauder as being a bit of a do-gooder, a human-rights-activist).
4 Bond Girl 3 (Background Girl - Dink/Ling):

5 Henchman (a la Oddjob): Robert Maillet as Savatier, a mute, remorseless killer with a noticeably scarred throat

6 Villain 1: Wilhelm von Homburg as Amadeus Stahl, a retired German boxer turned criminal
7 Villain 2: Alan Rickman as Gideon Granger and Jean Reno as Dark Granger, a serial killer who externalises his crimes by taking LSD when he cannot control his murderous impulses. This has created a distinct Jekyll-and-Hyde type of personality. He sees Bond as his saviour, associating Bond with his murderous side, Dark Granger. He becomes obsessed with Bond, believing him to be the physical manifestation of Dark Granger, and wants to kill him as he believes it will kill Dark Granger at the same time, finally freeing him. Dark Granger is classified as a "disorganised" serial killer, in that he does not actually plan his crimes. Rather, he simply responds to the urge to kill by taking LSD and letting Dark Granger take over. When Gideon Granger (Rickman) takes the LSD, he hallucinates that Dark Granger (Reno) is the one committing the crimes. Granger kills by slashing his victims' major veins arteries - the aorta, jugular, femoral, etc. - with a straight razor. His profile indicates that he has medical knowledge for the accuracy with which he cuts them, but this is contradicted by the fact that one cut would be enough to kill them when he cuts all of them.

8 M: Robert Brown
9 Moneypenny: Caroline Bliss
10 Q: Desmond Llewelyn
11 Sir Frederick Grey: Geoffrey Keen
12 General Leonid Pushkin: John Rhys-Davies / General Anatol Gogol: Walter Gotell (though not necessarily both - if the plot demands the Russians then we can use them, if not, then we don't need to use them)

13 Ally 1: Bill Paxton as Felix Leiter (post-LTK, I see him as having Fleming's hook-hand, and being able to walk, with a false leg, and using a cane. (A cane that doubles as a rifle, perhaps? )

LOCATIONS:

15 Pre-Titles Location: The Falkland Islands (which according to DAD, is home to an MI6 evaluation center...if a certain MI6 agent needs re-evaluating after he went rogue )
16 Location 1: The remains of Franz Sanchez's drug empire in Isthmus City, Isthmus (now a part of Honduras - things have fallen apart since Sanchez died and the Republic of Isthmus has been unable to sustain itself, being absorbed into its immediate neighbour)
17 Location 2: A Concorde jet over Monument Valley. (There could be an action sequence here where the jet is attacked by helicopters and Bond is forced to land in the valley.)
18 Location 3: All over Monument Valley, where Bond and Joan ski (as improbable as it may sound) to avoid the buzzsaw helicopters.
19 Location 4: Burma (to match up with CT's prison stunt)
20 Location 5: Rome
21 Location 6: New Zealand, particularly Rotorua (geysers, bubbling mud pools to throw someone into, Lake Rotorua for an underground/underwater base, and hot springs for the romantic assignation afterwards).

KEY PLOT POINTS

22 Villains' Plot: (if you have submitted any of the plots for the UB Anthology Project, you can't fill this field in - let's give other people a chance of filling in this most important of fields)

An unstoppable computer virus penetrates the weapons systems of Britain and several other countries. The countries are forced to do the villain's bidding or he will order their weapons to attack each other, effectively causing World War Three. (Yes, I'm picturing this as Dalton's variation on YOLT/TSWLM/TND, with the "modern" and "cutting edge" threat of computer viruses!).

23 Pre-Title Sequence Stunt: Bond is staying in a small cottage, his only companion a dog. Against a brooding sky, Bond rides a motorcycle, with the dog trotting alongside, when they hear a plane overhead; Bond looks up to see a shapely parachutist descending. When she lands the dog runs to greet her, against Bond’s wishes. Once he has the animal in check, Bond introduces himself to the skydiver (Any suggestions as to what role, if any, the skydiver plays in the main story can be up to the group). A Land Rover appears, and Bond’s assumption that the vehicle is there to pick up the girl is proven incorrect when it veers towards him and tries to run him over. After the third attempt, Bond is sideswiped and on the ground when the driver attempts to kill Bond with a pistol, which Bond is able to karate chop away. Once Bond has the revolver, he fires at the vehicle, which then crashes and flings the driver out. Bond examines the body and it turns out to be __________ (Again, this can be discussed amongst the group. Perhaps an actual assassin has infiltrated the Falklands, although that might be too similar to “TLD”).
24 Major Stunt 1: Through lots of proper detective work Bond has tracked Chun down to a major city, where he engineers a chance encounter at a café or somewhere scenic. Flirting eventually leads to a sexually-charged dance. It is made clear that they've quickly figured out the other for who they are, but are continuing the charade because of the undeniable mutual attraction. Chun invites Bond to her chique top floor apartment that night, where he proposes he take her in (she's been offered amnesty or a reduced sentence if she'll help). She refuses, a fight develops, but with both of them disarmed and in close quarters kissing soon follows. Bond wakes the next morning handcuffed to a bedpost, and Chun informing him she's just alerted the police to a break-in, before giving him a farewell kiss and heading out the window. Bond uses a gadget or brute strength to get out of the handcuffs and, still only half-dressed, evades the police and pursues Chun across the rooftops.
25 Major Stunt 2: Coming out of danger from the Concorde crashing, Bond and Chun happen upon an old logging camp. With no other means of transport, the two clamp on some skiis and attempt to go down the dry slopes to some semblance of civilization -- except Stahl has learned that Bond has survived his arranged plane crash, and sends his goons out; they commandeer a logging chopper from the site, and try to run down Bond and Chun with the deadly sawblades hanging from their helicopter as the two ski through treacherous hazards.
26 Major Stunt 3: Bond is trapped in a prison that is a cross between the Russian Woodpecker and the Hanoi Hilton. Bond is very nearly executed at the gallows before a team of soldiers sent by Leonid Pushkin attack the camp (unaware that Bond is currently being held prisoner). Their attack results in the prison being set on fire. With the help of Sienna - who is currently incarcerated as a human rights activist - Bond must scale the outside of the transmitter to destroy the beacon, then take out the massive power array that is powering it. Gideon Granger is killed in the process. Having chased Bond up the transmitter tower, he is electrocuted when he is trapped on the tower and Bond overloads the power array. Bond and Sienna then have to find a way through the prison as it burns around them. They narrowly escape before everything collapses in around them.

28 Finale Stunt:

EQUIPMENT

29 Bond's Car (inc. car gadgets - if any): Aston Martin Virage (all the usual extras: ejector seat, heat seeking missiles, ejectible tacks, oil slick dispensor etc - the car was introduced in 1990 and was later replaced by the Vanquish)

30 Gadget 1: A set of shaped charges that are disguised as rosary beads. Each bead is a tiny wad of high-density explosive inside a concussive metal plate that is used to direct the the force of the blast, effectively making it a series of miniature claymore mines. The rosary beads can be strung out to form a circle the size of a dinner plate, with the wire connecting them all acting as a detoantor cord (the beads cannot be removed from the wire and exploded independently). The crucifix serves as the detonator and has a ten-second delay. Theoretically, the small shape and concussive plates mean that Bond can stand right next to it and detonate them safetly; for example, if he were locked in a safe the size of the fridge, he could place the beads on the inside of the door and blow a hole in it large enough to reach through with little to no danger to himself.
31 Gadget 2: A pack of cigarettes which generate red smoke (as in a flare) when burned
32 Gadget 3: A digital data container that can be plugged into any computer but is disguised as a pen. A gadget for Chun Qiao - it could carry secret documents, the virus, its cure, etc. Basically a USB stick, but that would be space age stuff in 1990.

[terminus]

Skiing in Monument Valley? Really? A bit of a stretch, isn't it? And why would there be logging camps around?! I'm not sure the stunt fits with the location, mrblofeld - I'm happy to add a location into the movie.

As an addendum, if we're going to be eventually doing all the Bond gap years, I suppose I can save Ephraim Lewis and Robert Maillet for a more reasonable time; is it all right with you, terminus, if I change those slots?

Yes - that's fine.

34 Music By: Tangerine Dream

Now THAT is certainly an outside-the-box idea!

[coco1997]

Hey, Pruno; you stole my location spot!

Glad I could be of help.

I should point out, Matt, that once again, you've circumvented the rules and created your own field. There are currently four fields left: two action scenes, a third Bond girl and a title sequence description. And tdalton, when he does get online, has already staked a claim to the penultimate action scene.Adding another field is not allowed until all the pre-conceived fields have been filled in.

Hopefully terminus addresses this.

Also, if Ephraim Lewis is not a viable choice, how about Michael Jackson?

[terminus]

How did I miss the addition of the field? Yes, mrblofeld - you've been warned about adding fields before. This is verboten - as you have been told repeatedly.

Re: Michael Jackson, I could go with that. He was a big Bond fan, wasn't he - so we'd know he'd want to do it.

Have edited mrblofeld's illegally added field from the proforma - so this is the proforma as it stands at the moment.

Re: Michael Jackson, I could go with that. He was a big Bond fan, wasn't he - so we'd know he'd want to do it.

If we do go with MJ, I'd like him to have a cameo in the story. Not as himself, per se, as that might take the viewer/reader out of the film, but he could be cleverly disguised, as he was in the "Ghosts" music video.

[terminus]

Something like Verity in DAD? Or something more like a random background character?

[coco1997]

Something like Verity--give him a few lines--but put him in a disguise.
