Newman.

 

 

Which is more likely to happen:

Bond fails a mission because he got so drunk the night before at the casino that he sleeps through his alarm and is therefore unable to stop the villain

OR

Bond crash lands on a deserted island and befriends a volleyball for 4 years

?

[The Dove]

Hah!! Bond getting hammered at the casino and sleeping through his alarm clock..

 

Which would be funnier for Bond 24... Bond being denied transport on the London Underground after all the havoc that followed his chase of Silva in Skyfall OR Q, attempting to conquer his fear of flying ??

[thecasinoroyale]

I'd love to see Bond being denied transport on the London Underground after all the havoc that followed his chase of Silva in 'Skyfall', sort of like the classic Moore era when his method of transport was always a little unique and spontaneous at the final minute.

 

 

Which gadget, revived from the Timothy Dalton era, would like to see used once more in 'Bond 24'  -

 

Exploding milk bottles from 'The Living Daylights'

 

OR

 

Dentonite toothpaste from 'Licence To Kill;

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

toothpaste

 

 

Which Brosnan Era gadget would you rather see in Bond 24;

 

Watch Laser - GE/DAD

 

OR 

 

Credit Card Skeleton Key - TWINE

 

00?

[The Dove]

I'd like to see the credit card skeleton key again.

 

 

Which Lazenby location would you like to see Daniel Craig's 007 revisit..

 

 The College of Arms in London OR Piz Gloria in Switzerland?

[seawolfnyy]

Piz Gloria, no question.

 

 

 

What old Bond staple would you more like to see return for Craig's next film:

The walkthrough of Q's lab with his new toys

OR

The traditional M briefing and then M bowing out of the story

?

[S K Y F A L L]

The walk through of Q's lab but I understand if they hold out on that for a while. 

 

Who would you rather return for Bond 24

 

Mr. White 

 

OR 

 

A modern day General Gogol

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

A modern day General Gogol. Mr.White just went from potential Blofeld-esque villain to a frail old man who was bumped around a bit and left at the opera.

 

Will 'Bond 24', in terms of story...

 

Mirror a modern day event / current economical situation and bend it slightly to fit the villain's history or goal

 

OR

 

Be a totally different story to anything current in the world at the time of writing/filming

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

You should ask John Logan - he's the only one who can answer this question reliably.

 

And you know he won't.

[The Dove]

Most likely it'll be the former eventuality...

 

 

 For Bond 24, which classic Bond element would you like to see return after several years absence...the return of the "007 Theme", after last being used in Moonraker in '79 OR a reboot of Jeremy Bulloch's "Smithers" character, who last appeared in Octopussy?

[AMC Hornet]

To misquote Tina Turner, "We don't need another Smithers."

 

As for John Barry's 007 theme, I think it was a personal signature (and perhaps an effort to derail Monty Norman), so I doubt it will appear again - but I'd like to be wrong.

[S K Y F A L L]

I guess I'll just jump in here;

 

 

Connery's Bond shooting clay targets with Emilio Largo in TB

 

OR 

 

Moore's Bond shooting birds with Hugo Drax in MR 

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

I liked the air of tension with Connery shooting the clay pigeons in 'Thunderball', both hero and villain playing it so well.

 

 

Which sort of theme song do you want for 'Bond 24' -

 

Slow, emotive and powerful like 'Nobody Does It Better', 'The World Is Not Enough' and 'Skyfall'

 

OR

 

Upbeat, dynamic and exciting like 'Goldfinger', 'A View To A Kill' and 'You Know My Name'

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Slow and the latter for Bond 25. 

 

Which Jaws performance is your favorite;

 

TSWLM

 

OR
 

MR

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

I have to say both are good in their own right, the finale of 'MR' is great, but I love the over-all menace and horror in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'.

 

 

Which villain was wasted in respect of they could developed further with more screentime:

 

Baron Samedi in 'Live And Let Die'

 

OR

 

Patrice in 'Skyfall'

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

I was watching SF the other day and thinking why didn't we get more of this guy? So Patrice or some dialog. 

 

 

 

Your favorite MI6 attack

 

DAD

 

OR

 

SF

 

00?

[The Dove]

(Do you mean TWINE, instead of DAD?? Unless you're referring to Bond's CGI-Target Range Training in Q -Branch) In any case, I think the Skyfall attack on MI6 was way more thrilling!

 

Swapping Bond actors/actresses roles... Javier Bardem as Franz Sanches OR Robert Davi as Raoul Silva?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh...nice. Hmm. I'd have to go with... Robert Davi as Silva. I think he nailed Sanchez and would love to see his take on Silva, that'd be great.

 

 

Which moment was too close for comfort for 007....

 

Jumping from the Mercedes car in front of the oncoming train in 'Octopussy'

 

OR

 

The CMGN banner stops ripping during the free fall at the final moment in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

 

??

[The Dove]

Jumping from the Mercedes just before the train smashes it in Octopussy..

 

Another Bond actors / actresses role switch... Topol as Kerim Bey or Pedro Armendariz Sr. as Columbo ??

[S K Y F A L L]

My bad. I did mean TWINE.

Another Bond actors / actresses role switch... Topol as Kerim Bey or Pedro Armendariz Sr. as Columbo ??

 

Topol. 

 

 

Which train fight do you prefer;

 

LALD Tee Hee vs Bond

 

OR 

 

TSWLM Jaws vs Bond

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm. Both good...but I think in terms of danger, I'll go for Jaws vs Bond; the compairons between Kiel and Moore is brilliant, in size and power. Bond being thrown around like a ragdoll, and that huge hand over his neck is something you don't see in action films anymore in a stand-out villain like Jaws!

 

But I always love Bond using a deck of cards to distract a bad guy like he does in 'Live And Let Die'...!

 

 

Bond's best knife throw...

 

Killing Grischka after being pinned to a door in 'Octopussy'

 

OR

 

Killing Silva after nearly drowning in 'Skyfall'

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Grishka, mainly because we actually see it. Love Silva's death march though.

 

 

It needs to be said....will Quantum/SPECTRE return in Bond 24:

Yes

OR

No

?

[The Dove]

No.. although it would be an idea if Quantum had re-organized and renamed itself SPECTRE.

 

Famke Jansen as Fatima Blush OR Barbara Carrera as Xenia Onotopp ??

[seawolfnyy]

Famke Janssen as Blush. I don't want to see anyone else as Xenia.

 

 

The plot of Bond 24, will it involve:

Environmental terrorism

OR

Nuclear weapons

?

[AMC Hornet]

You should ask John Logan - he's the only one who can answer this question reliably.

 

And you know he won't.

[S K Y F A L L]

Environmental terrorism, save the nuke for Bond 25. 

 

 

Atomic/Nuclear Bomb Disarming Contest #1

 

GF Clock stops on 007

 

OR

 

TSWLM Bond sliding the core out of course without hitting the sides.

 

00?

[thecasinoroyale]

It has to be 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - no music needed, just lots of sweaty brows, squinty eyes and diegetic sound. Perfect tension and really well shot.

 

 

Which 007 left the train best...

 

Roger Moore takes a forward roll from the circus train roof after a brutal hand-to-hand fight in 'Octopussy'

 

OR

 

Daniel Craig departs like a fallen angel from the passenger train roof after being shot in 'Skyfall'

 

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with Craig being shot off the roof of the train in Skyfall...much more dramatic than Moore's 007 falling with Mischka in OP, although that was a cool moment.

 

Bond soundtrack cues switch-ups:  " She's Mine" from Skyfall being used for the Bond vs Greene fight in the burning Perla De Las Dunas in Quantum of Solace OR "Perla De Las Dunas" being used for Silva's attack on Skyfall lodge and pursuit after M in Skyfall ??

[thecasinoroyale]

I loved the urgency and drama to "Perla De Las Dunas" so would like to see that mixed with the Skyfall lodge attack...

 

 

The most useless guard to have...

 

The armed guard patrolling around Whitaker's estate, until Bond casually pops up and punches him out cold in 'The Living Daylights'

 

OR

 

The armed guard protecting Gettler and Vesper aiming at shadows, until Bond casually pops up and shoots him in the neck in 'Casino Royale'

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Probably the one for Whitaker. They were all inept.

 

 

Sean Bean as Silva

OR

Javier Bardém as Trevelyan

?
