Haha! Both brilliant but I will go for his 'Licence To Kill' quote - sets the tone with a wonderful 'bastard' drop so early into the film!

 

 

'Where Has Everybody Gone?' by The Pretenders....

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Bond Hit! I love The Pretenders and the song gives Necros a hugely memorable aspect to his character.

 

 

Connery in OHMSS

 

OR

 

Dalton in GoldenEye?

[thecasinoroyale]

DEFFO Dalton in 'GoldenEye'. One can only dream.

 

 

'We Have All The Time In The World' by Louis Armstrong...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

I'll go Bond Hit! Can't vote against Satchmo!

 

 

Better "vehicle eating other vehicles"

 

Bird 1 in YOLT

 

OR

 

Liparus in TSWLM ?

[The Dove]

Have to go with Bird 1 in YOLT..

 

 

The cooler looking nighttime city scenes in a Bond.. Shanghai at night in Skyfall or Monaco in Goldeneye?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh tough one - both beautiful but I'll go for Shanghai in 'Skyfall', the lighting is so nice and dreamy, as is the panoramic shots.

 

 

'London Calling!' by The Clash...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[The Dove]

Definitely a Bond HIT..

 

(Here's a good one..) Die Another Day re-using a shot of a missile launch from Tomorrow Never Dies... Didn't notice OR WTF?? How lame!! ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Certainly WTF - cheap and lame trick. For a film that followed only one before...very lazy .

 

 

'Surrender' by k.d lang...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Bond Hit! Should have been the main theme of TND.

 

 

Moonraker:

 

The novel

 

OR

 

The film ?

[The Dove]

I gotta go with the film..

 

J.W. Pepper..better in Live and Let Die OR The Man With The Golden Gun?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Live And Let Die' all the way.

 

 

'The Experience Of Love' by Eric Serra...

 

Bond Hit!

 

OR

 

Bond S***!

 

??

[glidrose]

Bond s***.

 

Better death by nature's creatures:

 

Stromberg's secretary becomes shark chow in TSWLM

 

or

 

Corrine becomes Doberman chow in MR

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Corrine becomes Doberman chow in 'Moonraker' - well shot and very chilling.

 

 

Best tagline in relation to the specific debut:

 

'More. Much more. It's Roger Moore as James Bond 007!" from 'Live And Let Die' trailer for Roger Moore.

 

OR

 

"You were expecting someone else?" from 'GoldenEye' teaser trailer for Pierce Brosnan.

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Pierce's intro in the trailer... breaking the fourth wall with class!

 

 

More dangerous:

 

Baby rocket cigarette

 

or

 

wrist pulse dart gun ?

[The Dove]

Have to go with Tanaka's baby rocket cigarette.. (I can only just imagine if some poor fool actually starts smoking it and it malfunctions and blows up in their face..At least with the wrist dart gun, it's more controllable.. )

 

With the 50th anniversary of Goldfinger coming up on Sept. 17th, do you think we might get some sort of press release regarding Bond 24? YES or NO? (I'm only thinking this since the press conference for Skyfall was held on the exact day 50 years previous that Sean Connery was announced as Bond..)

[thecasinoroyale]

I wish we would, but I don't think we will - I think the 50th of 'Goldfinger' will be overlooked by most of the media and focused on mainly by the fans. I hope I am wrong however....

 

 

In light of the sad news today: the scenes Jaws and Bond...

 

Jaws vs Bond and Anya in Egypt in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

 

OR

 

Jaws and Bond vs Drax's men in 'Moonraker'

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Jaws in TSWLM, no doubt. The scene within the ruins where Bond and Anya are tiptoeing around corners, not knowing that Jaws is lurking nearby, never fails to get my blood pressure going! Always preferred Jaws the villain to Jaws the ally - either way, Richard Kiel was magnificent! RIP

 

 

Keeping with the Jaws theme!

 

Better multiplayer character in Goldeneye 007 (really not fair to use Oddjob for this, as he is hands down #1):

 

Jaws

 

or

 

Baron Samedi ?

[The Dove]

Oooh tough one.. I have to say Baron Samedi (only slightly though..)

 

What is the more menacing moment for Jaws... Him biting open the locked pyramid gate and killing Fekkesh for the micro-film in TSWLM OR the long walk down the back ally in the carnival costume and revealing himself to Manuela in MR?

[Call Billy Bob]

This is tough as well... but my childhood fear of Jaws was cemented when he started walking down that alley in the clown costume! It still gives me chills!

 

 

Robert Brown's M:

 

Admiral Hargreaves

 

OR

 

the same character as Bernard Lee's M ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Admiral Hargreaves - makes more sense and quite a clever move to have him introduced a few films before.

 

 

Considering how we left Jaws in 'Moonraker', sentiment aside, are you...

 

HAPPY - He turned to good, believed in himself and found true love.

 

OR

 

DISSAPOINTED - He should have fought to the end and had a fitting, memorable death against 007

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

I'm going to say dissapointed... but with a twist! I kind of like the turn to good in a cheesy sort of way - but he should have sacrificed himself and been seen as a true hero instead of floating away to safety.

 

 

Better non-Bond performance from Richard Kiel:

 

Samson in The Longest Yard (The Mean Machine in UK)

 

or

 

Mr. Larson in Happy Gilmore ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm. Both naff films in total, but I'll go with...Mr Larson; more enjoyable for me.

 

 

With the news 'Bond 24' is to start principal photography in December 2014, do you think we will get...

 

A title first

 

OR

 

Leaked cast first

 

??

[The Dove]

Probably a leaked cast list first...(then we'll get some eagle-eyed Bond fan spotting a website registered by EON with the name of Bond 24 (as was the case with Quantum of Solace and Skyfall)..

 

If Bond 24 were to have some sort of tribute to Richard Kiel's Jaws, should it be either a "In loving memory of.." message in the end credits OR some sort of subtle tribute in the film itself?

[Call Billy Bob]

I'd say "In loving memory..." Only henchman to reappear, due to fan support mind you! (test screenings and all that)

 

Better Brosnan BMW:

 

750i in TND

 

OR

 

Z8 in TWINE ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I always liked the 750i in 'Tomorrow Never Dies' - more Bond like than the sporty Z3, that just didn't suit him IMO.

 

 

Best tagline...

 

"It's the biggest! It's the best! It's Bond and beyond!"

 

OR

 

"His bad side is a dangerous place to be."

 

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Give me TSWLM's tagline! It was a bold statement to make and the film delivered.

 

 

More cringe-worthy OTT moment in a Connery Bond:

 

helicopter with giant magnet in YOLT

 

OR

 

moon rover escape in DAF ?

[The Dove]

I love YOLT, but have to agree that helicopter with magnet was kind of cringe-worthy..but nowhere NEAR as cringe-worthy as Bond's iceberg surfing sequence in Die Another Day!!

 

In honor of Goldfinger's 50th anniversary tomorrow, which non-used gadget on the DB5 would you have liked to have seen... the secret tray of weapons below the driver's seat, the car phone built into the driver's door, the front and rear ramming rods OR the nail gun which spits out spikes from the rear tailights?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm. I think the front and rear ramming rods would have been a good gadget to use, leading to a nice and tense action scene probably!

 

 

Now in honour of the big 50th Anniversary of 'Goldfinger' today - which is your favourite action sequence:

 

Bond vs Oddjob in Fort Knox

 

OR

 

Bond and the Aston create carnage at Auric Enterprises

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

I love you, Oddjob, but the Aston sequence takes the cake. Fun and full of mayhem, with a "smashing" conclusion! (ok, ok... terrible pun. I'll show myself out )

 

 

More Goldfinger love today!

Worse way to die:

 

skin suffocation (probably slowly)

 

OR

 

broken neck/spinal cord via Oddjob's hat (quickly) ?

[The Dove]

Definitely the skin suffocation...

 

Best golf ball.. Penfold Hearts OR Slazenger No.7 OR Slazenger No. 1 ??
