[The Dove]

I'd say Brad Whittaker...Jack Wade just got annoying...

 

Charles Gray...better as Henderson in YOLT OR Blofeld in DAF?

[Double-Oh Agent]

I find Charles Gray entertaining in Diamonds Are Forever but as a fearsome Ernst Stavro Blofeld he doesn't compare to Telly Savalas so I would say Gray in You Only Live Twice (which he was good in too).

 

 

Natalya Simonova

 

or

 

Xenia Onatopp?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one indeed for all GE fans. I would have to go with Onatopp however. 

 

 

 

DR or LALD

 

00?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Do you mean Dr. No? If so, I go with Live And Let Die for the movie, Dr. No for the novel.

 

Sylvia Trench in Dr. No

 

or

 

Sylvia Trench in From Russia With Love?

[seawolfnyy]

Neither, but since the rules dictate I must pick....Dr. No. Only because it gave us that iconic line.....

 

 

 

Lazenby's first line as Bond

OR

Craig's first line as Bond

?

[The Dove]

Have to go with "M doesn't really mind you earning a little money on the side, Dreyden...She just prefer it if it wasn't selling secrets..." Much more memorable than "Good morning...my name is Bond, James Bond...Miss?? "
 
 Better Bond cover...Universal Exports rep arranging to pick up a carcharodon carcharias from Milton Krest in LTK OR as James Stock, London Financial Times to get a story on Max Zorin from Mr. Howe in AVTAK?

[seawolfnyy]

Neither is very good, but I'll go with the Carcharodon Carcharias. James Stock was bad and Stacey was just too dumb to see through it.

 

 

Better one-liner:

"This never happened to the other fellow"

OR

"Single"

?

[The Dove]

"Single" Thought that was a great quip after how Bond's romance with Solange turned out in Casino Royale..

 

 Which Bond locale would you like to dine at if you were given an all expenses paid trip... Dinner at Piz Gloria in the revolving restaurant OR Dinner at the Cafe Martinique from Thunderball ?

[seawolfnyy]

Cafe Martinique. If it's all expenses paid, I'm going somewhere warm.

 

 

 

Which of Bond's various recreational vehicles are you more jealous of:

the submarine Lotus

OR

Little Nellie

?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Wet Nellie aka Lotus Esprit submarine

 

 

 

Fiona Volpe

 

or

 

Fatima Blush?

[S K Y F A L L]

Fiona Volpe, not a fan of anything NSNA

 

 

Bill Tanner Preference: #1 

 

Michael Goodliffe - TMWTGG

 

OR

 

James Villiers - FYEO

 

00?

 

Still to come;

 

Michael Kitchen TND, DAD

Rory Kinnear QOS, SF

[Double-Oh Agent]

James Villiers

 

 

Halle Berry as Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson

 

or

 

Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny?

[S K Y F A L L]

Naomie Harris as Eve Moneypenny, I think she is pretty cute where as Halle Barry is just not my cup of tea.

Rory Kinnear QOS, SF

[The Dove]

Have to go with Rory Kinnear..

 

 

Best use of John Glen's trademark pigeon flying out of an unexpected place.. OHMSS when Campbell is shot at while he's climbing Piz Gloria, FYEO when the pigeon nearly knocks Bond off St. Cyrils, OP when Bond is scaling the outside of Kamal's palace and the pigeon flies out of a corner, (don't remember one in AVTAK), TLD where Bond is sneaking into Brad Whittaker's palace or LTK when Bond is absailing down the front of Sanchez's casino?

[AMC Hornet]

FYEO finishes first ahead of LTK, only because it was fresh in '81, and predictable by '89.

 

Better 1970s post-killing throw-away line:

 

"He certainly left with his tails between his legs."

"He always did have an inflated opinion of himself"

"Flat on his coup de gras."

[Double-Oh Agent]

I'll go with "He always did have an inflated opinion of himself."

 

Peter Burton's Maj. Boothroyd in Dr. No

 

or

 

Alec McCowen's Algernon in Never Say Never Again?

[The Dove]

Have to go with McCowen in NSNA, but then to be fair to Peter Burton, he didn't have much of a part in Dr. No..

 

 

Lana Wood's Plenty O'Toole in DAF OR Lynn Holly Johnson's Bibi Dahl in FYEO?

[S K Y F A L L]

Lana Wood's Plenty O'Toole in DAF all the way.

[Double-Oh Agent]

Michael Kitchen easily. The best Bill Tanner of the films.

 

Zbigniew Krycsiwiki aka Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me

 

or

 

Zbigniew Krycsiwiki aka Jaws in Moonraker?

[S K Y F A L L]

I just love him in TSWLM when he is swimming away from Atlantis reminds me of Darth Vader flying away from the first Death Star explosion.

Kitchen, all the way.

Me stumbling to post a "this or that" thread?

or

Me asking someone to finish my turn?

[Double-Oh Agent]

The former.

 

Here's a matchup of two of Bond's most physically imposing villains:

 

Franz Sanchez

 

or

 

Alec Trevelyan?

[The Dove]

Alec Trevelyan...

 

 

Ben Whishaw's Q gets to re-invent, or revamp one of Desmond Llewellyn's gadgets...which should it be?

 

The briefcase with the folding AR-7 sniper's rifle from FRWL OR the dart gun, wristwatch from MR ?

[S K Y F A L L]

The Briefcase 100% on that one. 

 

Shirley Bassey

 

DAF

or

MR

 

00?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Diamonds Are Forever easily. That's my favorite theme song of hers.

 

Hans

 

or

 

Grunther?

[The Dove]

Grunther...the way he met his end by being impaled on those nasty looking spikes was much more memorable than Hans becoming fish food..

 

Bobsled action in a Bond film... Bond chasing Blofeld in OHMSS down the bob run OR Bond skiing behind the 4-man bobsled team as he's being chased by Kriegler in FYEO?

[Double-Oh Agent]

For Your Eyes Only

 

Stacey Sutton

 

or

 

Christmas Jones?

[seawolfnyy]

For Your Eyes Only

 

Stacey Sutton

 

or

 

Christmas Jones?

What exactly are you asking here? Which is better? worse? prettier? stupider? more miscast? I guess I'll go with Stacey Sutton, just because Xmas Jones is one of my least favorite characters in the whole series.

 

What would you rather do:

Spend Christmas in Switzerland

OR

Christmas in Turkey

?

[Professor Pi]

Christmas in Christmas isn't an option?! Still, think I'll go with Switzerland.

 

Better M comeback to Bond breaking into her home,

 

"Utter one more word and I'll have you killed."

 

OR

 

"Run out of drink, did you?"

[S K Y F A L L]

"Run out of drink, did you?" although I'm not really a fan of either.

 

GE 

 

or 

 

SF 

 

00?
