For practicality, I go for the ninja attack - some great stunt work.

 

 

Most over-looked stunt in the Moore films:

 

The mountain climbing (and falling) on St Cyril's during 'For Your Eyes Only'

 

OR

 

The parachute jump from the Eiffel Tower in 'A View To A Kill'

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

The mountain climbing (and failing) on St. Cyril´s during FYEO. There is nothing spectacular about the Eiffel Tower scene in AVTAK. It´s just another in a long, long, long line of cliched movie scenes set in Paris using the Eiffel Tower. There was a better chase there and the filmmaker´s didn´t use it.

 

 

 

More underrated Bond film:

Tomorrow Never Dies (Fine, I admit it. I like Tomorrow Never Dies....more than Goldeneye.)

OR
Quantum of Solace

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm. 'QOS' is under-rated I agree, but has noticeable flaws that hold it back. 'TND' however starts the generic-action feel to the later Bond films BUT is still enjoyable and a solid Brosnan entry - so I go for 'TND'. Great story, great action, great soundtrack and Brosnan looks very comfortable just 2 films in.

 

 

Will we ever have an American actor play James Bond?

 

YES - Never say never, and with the international market stronger than ever, an American could easily pull it off

 

OR

 

NO - James Bond is British. End of. Yes, we've had Aussies, Welsh, Scots and Irish...BUT now it's British Bond all the way.

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Well, technically we've already had an American in the role of James Bond. Though, John Gavin never actually played Bond. But I will say yes, one day there will be an American as James Bond.

 

 

 

Will we ever have a black James Bond (no racism with this question, just your opinion):

Yes, there is no reason to think that Bond has to be white. Moneypenny and Felix both switched races and the world didn't end. Bond can too.

OR

No, Bond has always been white. It wouldn't make sense for him to suddenly be black

?

[DaveBond21]

Yes there will be a black Bond one day.

 

 

Which scene do you prefer:-

 

Dinner with Dr No

 

or

 

Lunch with Scaramanga

 

?/

[AMC Hornet]

Lunch with Scaramanga.

 

I'm not saying I think it's a better scene, I just like it better. No exposition, no threat of torture - just a challenge to a duel (and that gun!)

 

In the same vein,

 

Preferred final confrontation:

 

Bond vs Stromberg

or

Bond vs Whittaker

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond vs Whittaker was a good scene - great soundtrack, threat and creativity

 

 

Which villain had the best, most realistic death:

 

General Orlov in 'Octopussy', shot while crossing the German border

 

OR

 

Franz Sanchez in 'Licence To Kill', burned alive while soaked in gasoline

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Sanchez in LTK. Somehow, regardless of his actions, I don't see the Russians allowing the Americans to just open fire at a Soviet general.

 

 

 

More gruesome death:

Sanchez being burned alive
OR

Corinne Dufour being eaten by the dogs

?

[AdaShelby]

Corinne Dufour being eaten by the dogs.

 

In Spectre, Mr. Hinx...

 

LIVES. Returns like Jaws.

 

or

 

DIES.

[seawolfnyy]

Dies.

 

 

 

More overrated Bond film:

Goldeneye

OR

Goldfinger

?

[The Dove]

Oooh..tough one..but I'd have to go with Goldfinger.. For me personally it is a great film..just doesn't quite live up to the hype that the majority of Bond fans find it to.

 

Ed Kilifer OR Boris Grishenko... Who was the bigger sleazeball in betraying the good side?

[Call Billy Bob]

Kilifer. Betraying a close colleague - whose wedding reception you had recently left for God's sake! - is low, man... plus, as a programmer myself, Boris is my homeboy!


Better one-off ally that didn't make it... Henderson in YOLT or Luigi in FYEO?

[seawolfnyy]

Luigi. Mainly because we all know that Henderson DID make it as he returns 4 years later as the true identity of Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

 

 

 

Better one-off ally that did make it:

Columbo in FYEO

OR

Quarrell Jr. in LALD

?

[AMC Hornet]

I don't see the Russians allowing the Americans to just open fire at a Soviet general.

 

What Americans?

 

Orlov was still on the Eastern side, crossing the frontier towards the west. He was shot in the back.

 

Anyhoo, I thought Columbo was a better written and presented character (played by Topol!). Quarrel Jr. seems more like an afterthought.

 

Better (stolen) ride:

 

Moon buggy in DAF,

Double decker bus in LALD

or

Motor sampan in TMWTGG

?

[DaveBond21]

The bus for me. Roger Moore had to learn how to drive a double decker bus in England even though a stuntman was used for the actual filming.

 

Which title for Bond 25 would you settle for:-

 

SPECTRE 2 - The Swiss Alps

 

or

 

"MoonFinger"

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

 

I don't see the Russians allowing the Americans to just open fire at a Soviet general.

 

What Americans?

 

Orlov was still on the Eastern side, crossing the frontier towards the west. He was shot in the back.

 

Oops, my bad. I guess I remembered it backwards. For whatever reason, I was thinking of the US military base after Orlov dies. That said, I stick with my pick.

 

MoonFinger because we had Octopussy, so I guess anything is possible.

 

 

Hypothetically, if Bond 25 were to bring an end to Craig's Bond, what would you rather have for Bond 26:

A total reboot

OR

Pick up from Die Another Day

?

[DaveBond21]

That is a tough one - pick up from DAD I guess.

 

 

Which scene do you prefer from OHMSS:-

 

Bond throws the knife just past Draco's shoulder

 

or

 

Bond sees Tracy's ice skates on the rink while hiding from Bunt

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I like it when Bond sees Tracy's stakes amidst the rink chaos - a nice moment.

 

 

Which big-name Hollywood star would like to feature in the next Bond film, in a serious, meaningful but small role:

 

Tom Hanks as a CIA official

 

OR

 

Harrison Ford as a DEA agent

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Harrison Ford as a DEA agent. It's about time he was in a Bond film.

 

 

If EON Productions were to go all MCU on us, who would be the first to get their own solo movie:

Felix Leiter

OR
Mathis (suddenly turning out to be alive)

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Deffo Felix - so much they could do with him to make him a badass agent.

 

Which product will be the biggest brand advertising used in 'Spectre'...

 

The mobile phone

 

OR

 

The computer

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

I'm going to say both, mostly because they will both be Sony products.

 

 

 

Which 70s Bond film would best translate to Craig's era:

Live and Let Die

OR

The Spy Who Loved Me

?

[The Dove]

I definitely can see Craig in Live and Let Die..

 

Quarrel Sr. or Quarrel Jr?

[seawolfnyy]

Quarrel Sr.

 

 

 

 

Which Craig era film would best fit in the 1970s:

Casino Royale

OR

Skyfall

?

[DaveBond21]

Skyfall. I can see Roger Moore raising an eyebrown to those komodo dragons.

 

What change would you make to the series:-

 

Change Stromberg to Blofeld in TSWLM

 

or

 

Change OHMSS and DAF to make Donald Pleasance Blofeld in 3 movies

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Change Stromberg to Blofeld in TSWLM for 2 reasons.

1: Being my favorite Bond film, I would love for The Spy Who Loved Me to be the proper conclusion to the Blofeld arc.

2: I would rather Blofeld be played by Telly Savalas in all 3 films, not Donald Pleasance.

 

 

 

Which Connery film would best fit with the Craig era:

Dr. No

OR

Goldfinger

?

[Call Billy Bob]

Dr. No. More of a straight up detective story that would suit Craig well.

 

 

Which change to Octopussy would you prefer:

 

Show a flashback of Bond and Smythe, rather than have his daughter explain everything

 

OR

 

change Bond and Kamal's backgammon game to a cricket match ?

[seawolfnyy]

Show a flashback of Bond and Smythe or it could have been the PTS, rather than a short mission that has no connection to the rest of the story.

 

 

 

Will we learn more about the events surrounding the death of Bond's parents in SPECTRE:

Yes, gotta keep it personal

OR

No, it won't be important for the story

?

[The Dove]

No.. It won't be important for the story..

Lea Seydoux's Madeline Swan.. Will she survive the events of SPECRTE? YES or NO??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes.

 

 

 

Should she survive, will she return for Bond 25:

Yes

OR

No

?

[thecasinoroyale]

No - unless you're MI6 or a top ranking villain, 007 has no need to hang onto women from previous adventures. Look at Camille...she was prime to return but never did.

 

 

50 years since 'Thunderball' hit the cinema screens. Can you believe it's been so long?

 

YES - It's dated, and it was in the 60s...duh.

 

OR

 

NO - It's timeless, like all the Bonds, and doesn't adhere to the usual dating process
