Yes. I would say no, but Austin Powers made Thunderball feel dated.

 

 

 

What gadget would you like to see the DB10 have:

SAF missiles like in The World Is Not Enough

OR

Turn into a submarine like in The Spy Who Loved Me

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think the SAF missiles would be pretty cool to see.

 

 

Worst shot taken in the Bond films...

 

Sanchez misses Pam's plane with a Stinger missile  in 'Licence To Kill'

 

OR

 

Eve misses Patrice and hits Bond in 'Skyfall'

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Sanchez... I mean, really?!?

 

 

Samantha Bond as Moneypenny:

 

A worthy no. 2 to Lois Maxwell's portrayal

 

OR

 

"Nope, didn't care for her at all."

[seawolfnyy]

"Nope, didn't care for her at all." Though, she was still better than Caroline Bliss.

 

 

 

Better Felix:

Rick Van Nutter

OR

John Terry

?

[The Dove]

Rick van Nutter...

 

Better non-Aston,non-Lotus or non-BMW Bond car... The Sunbeam Alpine in Dr. No OR the VW Beetle in Quantum of Solace?

[DaveBond21]

Sunbeam Alpine, I guess.

 

Who has the best lines:-

 

Drax in Moonraker

 

or

 

Dr No

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I think Dr.No has some great ones with real put-down and menace.

 

 

Was Dr.No the perfect villain to introduce the calibre of Bond villains to follow -

 

YES: Cold, calculating with that streak of genius and unstable evil

 

OR

 

NO: Underused and not very broad in his actions and level of threat

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes: Cold, calculating with that streak of genius and unstable evil.

 

 

 

Who was the series' weakest villain:

Brad Whittaker

OR

Dominic Greene

?

[Call Billy Bob]

I'd say Greene. Please don't think my answer is pure QOS hate, but I felt Greene was a slimy little lizard who tried to slink around corners while Whittaker was more crazed and "fun" if you will.

 

 

Swapping villain casting - who would play the other's role better:

 

Gert Frobe as Stromberg

 

OR

 

Curd Jurgens as Goldfinger ?

[DaveBond21]

Jurgens as Goldfinger

 

 

Locations you'd prefer for Bond 25:-

 

Just 2 locations - Jamaica and Rio

 

or

 

A globe trotting adventure featuring London, Paris, Argentina, Korea and a finale in Switzerland

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

2 locations would suit me fine - a tight story with no globetrotting.

 

 

Who was the more dangerous villain to go up against in terms of resources and plot:

 

Max Zorin in 'A View To A Kill'

 

or

 

Georgi Koskov in 'The Living Daylights'

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Definitely Zorin. Koskov didn't murder all of his own people upon completion of his plan, nor did Koskov's plan include terrorism on a civilian population.

 

 

 

Better soundtrack:

A View to a Kill

OR

Licence to Kill

?

[Call Billy Bob]

A View to a Kill. I'll never forgive Michael Kamen for what he did to the Bond Theme, particularly during the gunbarrel... yuck.

 

 

Better gunbarrel (my two favorites, btw):

 

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

 

OR

 

For Your Eyes Only ?

[thecasinoroyale]

'For Your Eyes Only' by FAR.

 

 

Better debut gunbarrel music:

 

'Live And Let Die'

 

or

 

'GoldenEye'

 

??

[The Dove]

Actually I loved Eric Serra's timpani gunbarrel music for Goldeneye..a unique twist on something familiar was a interesting way to kick off the Brosnan era.

 

(Not that its a big deal or concern of mine at all, but)

 

Will we continue to see the use of profanity in SPECTER (i,e, M's "I f#$ked this up, didn't I?" or Q's "S**t, s**t, s**t!" in Skyfall)? YES or NO?

[seawolfnyy]

Yes.

 

 

 

Who would win in a fight:

Gregor Clegane

OR

Jaws

?

[DaveBond21]

Jaws.

 

Which scene do you prefer?

 

Bond in his hotel room in FRWL

 

or

 

Bond in his hotel room checking for bugs in LALD

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

LALD.

 

Not that it was a better scene, but the Bond theme wasn't blaring unnecessarily, and I liked everything else that went with it (the snake & blowtorch, Rosie's arrival, etc).

 

Bond settles in at Piz Gloria

or

Bond & Tibbett settle in at Chateau Zorin

?

[seawolfnyy]

Bond settles in at Piz Gloria. Not that I dislike the other scene, but Piz Gloria wins every time.

 

 

 

Brosnan in The Man with the Golden Gun

OR

Moore in Tomorrow Never Dies

?

[AMC Hornet]

Broz vs Scaramanga. Sir Roger never cared for the sort of wildly violent climax featured in TND (he probably would have tried to sabotage it with too much humour).

 

Lamer lines to end on:

 

"There's never a cab when you want one/ that's not the soap!"

or

"Is this what you call coming through in a clinch/ Darling, what could possibly go wrong, eh?"

?

[DaveBond21]

Probably the soap in AVTAK. And also because Lois Maxwell's final scene as Moneypenny is her crying thinking Bond is dead

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Never Say Never

 

or

 

Time to Kill

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

'Never Say Never' could be a cheeky wink to Craig's return after Bond 25 maybe...

 

 

What deadly killing method would you like to see return in 'Spectre':

 

Poison in a drink

 

OR

 

Electric chair

 

??

Poison in a drink.

 

In Bond 25...

 

- Craig's departure will be a theme in the film.

 

or

 

- Craig's departure will just be like all the other Bond films.

[seawolfnyy]

Craig's departure will be a theme just as M's was.

 

 

 

How long will Ben Whishaw play Q:

Many, many years as Desmond Llewellyn did

OR

Not very like as John Cleese. When we get a new Bond, we'll get a new Q

?

[DaveBond21]

Probably just for a handful of movies - maybe 4.

 

Better boat scene:-

 

The hovercraft leaving Dover in DAF

 

or

 

The boat Bond takes Hong Kong in TMWTGG

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

Love 'em both, but have to go with the Seaspeed across the channel (probably because of John Barry's accompaniment, which I was glad to find included on the expanded CD).

 

Better Bond-as-voyeur scene:

 

with Fiona in Thunderball ("Would you mind giving me something to put on?"(shoes))

or

with Andrea in TMWTGG ("A water pistol?")

?

[DaveBond21]

I like both but Fiona is best.

 

 

Which scenario would you settle for as the PTS for Bond 25:-

 

Two British agents killed separately in France and in India. We don't see Bond.

 

or

 

M is out for a walk with his dog and is bundled into the back of a car by terrorists. 

 

?

Best train fight sequence in the Moore era:

 

Bond vs TeeHee

 

or 

Bond vs Jaws

[Call Billy Bob]

Bond vs Jaws. It still never fails to scare me when Anya opens the closet!

 

 

Better under-appreciated henchman:

 

Janni, often Vargas' right hand man in TB

 

OR

 

Che-Che, one of Draco's men in OHMSS?

[DaveBond21]

Che Che - his fight with Bond is excellent

 

Which villain would you prefer for Bond 25:-

 

Kevin Spacey as Doctor Coldblood

 

or

 

Sylvester Groth as Mr Birdbath
