On behalf of all the right-thinking members here,

 

Welcome, Call Billy Bob.

 

Anyone have a problem with that?

[Call Billy Bob]

Thanks, AMC Hornet.

 

And greetings to you as well.

[Call Billy Bob]

Perhaps I should return us to the task at hand - disregard my previous this or that...

 

Sean Bean as Bond with Brosnan as 006 in GoldenEye

 

or

 

Robert Shaw as Bond with Connery as Grant in FRWL?

[AMC Hornet]

Bean & Brosnan reversed in GoldenEye (it could have happened that way, as Barbara was all for Bean as Bond).

 

In the same vein, then:

 

Christopher Lee as Bond in TMWTGG

or

Roger Moore as Mr. Wint in DAF

?

[The Dove]

Hah... How about Roger as Mr. Wint..

George Lazenby as Tee Hee or Telly Savalas as James Bond?

[Call Billy Bob]

Telly as Bond - complete with Kojak lollypop!

 

Given a choice of these two weapons from Q branch, you choose:

 

missile-launching leg cast

or

"ghetto blaster"?

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh, the ghetto blaster for sure! Stylish AND deadly!

 

 

'Licence To Kill' by Gladys Knight...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[The Dove]

HIT!!

Wai Lin from Tomorrow Never Dies or Camille Montes from Quantum of Solace??

[Call Billy Bob]

Camille! Such a strong female role.

 

 

Better turn by Timothy Dalton as a baddie:

 

Nazi spy Neville Sinclair in The Rocketeer

 

or

 

shady supermarket owner Simon Skinner in Hot Fuzz?

[thecasinoroyale]

Both great, but his wonderfully dastardly Nazi Sinclair steals it for me in 'The Rocketeer'!

 

 

'The World Is Not Enough' by Garbage...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Bond Hit! One of the best aspects of that film. And still one of my favorite "sing at the top of your lungs while driving" songs

 

 

your preferred alternate MI6 HQ:

 

Scottish castle (TWINE)

 

or

 

subterranean London (Skyfall) ?

[The Dove]

Subterranean London..

 

 

Quarrel Jr. or Sharkey?

[thecasinoroyale]

Both great...but I do love Sharkey. Shame he got offed. BUT Dalton did need his darker motives.

 

 

'For Your Eyes Only' by Sheena Easton...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

I'll break my answer into two parts:

-the song itself: Bond Hit!

-Sheena showing up in the PTS: Bond S***!

 

 

As a choice of cover,

 

James St. John Smythe (he's English!)

 

or

 

Robert Sterling (marine biologist)?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh I have a soft spot for St John Smythe. JAMES St John Smythe.

 

 

'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[The Dove]

Meh...50/50 I'd say, but would lean towards more of a Bond-forgotten HIT..(It certainly got left behind in a cloud of dust when Adele's "Skyfall" came out, at least for me.)

 

Kerim Bey or Milos Colombo ("The Dove" )??

[Call Billy Bob]

I'm sure this is to your liking - Colombo! Topol never fails to put a smile on my face in any film of his.

 

 

General Gogol

 

or

 

General Pushkin?

[The Dove]

General Gogol..

 

Rosa Klebb or Xenia Onotopp??

[thecasinoroyale]

Xenia Onatopp - who gets better every time I re-watch 'GoldenEye'.

 

 

'Skyfall' by Adele...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond HIT!!

 

Andreas Wisnewski...as Necros from The Living Daylights OR as Tony, the first terrorist who John McClane kills by tumbling downstairs and breaking his neck in Die Hard??

[Call Billy Bob]

Necros, because Karl was always the better brother in Die Hard anyway.

 

Mr. Wint or Mr. Kidd?

[thecasinoroyale]

Mr...Kidd. Love that puppy dog hair. Wint is just TOO creepy, but still great as a duo.

 

 

'Tomorrow Never Dies' by Sheryl Crow...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond S**T...K.D. Lang's "Surrender" should have been used as the title song..

 

Jaws in Spy Who Loved Me, Jaws in Moonraker or Jaws in Everything or Nothing, the video game??

[Call Billy Bob]

Jaws in TSWLM. He was truly menacing, especially in the train fight. Moonraker lessened him in my mind, a bit. And by EON, it was too late to redeem him.

 

SPECTRE volcano base, or Scaramanga's funhouse?

[The Dove]

Definitely the SPECTRE volcano base!

 

Best "casino scene" music..."Try" from OHMSS or "Casino" from TWINE?

[AMC Hornet]

"Try" - it features on my 'Clubs & Casinos" compilation CD, along with similar tracks from DAF, TB, etc. The other I tacked on as an afterthought.

 

Floating ending:

 

"She's just coming, sir."

or

"Let's stay under cover."

?

[thecasinoroyale]

"She's just coming, sir." - just a classic!

 

 

'If There Was A Man' by The Pretenders

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond HIT! (perhaps one of the more underrated secondary Bond themes in the series..I particularly love the instrumental version, "Into Vienna")

 

 

Bigger WTF moment in a Bond... Charles Gray's Blofeld in drag in Diamonds Are Forever OR Yaphett Kotto's Kananga exploding-balloon death in Live and Let Die??

[Call Billy Bob]

Kananga go boom! Blofeld was funny, while Kananga's death was just cheesy.

 

Role reversal:

 

Christopher Lee as Blofeld

 

or

 

Telly Savalas as Scaramanga

[The Dove]

Oooh good one!! I'd say Telly Savalas as Scaramanga..

 

Michael G. Wilson cameos... As the tourist on the boat who helps pull Bond out of the water and says something like "Hey, take a picture of that guy with the turban..that's just great!" OR as the voice at the beginning of LTK that says "Advise Key West Drug Enforcement...If they hurry, they might just be able to grab the bastard!" ?
