[Double-Oh Agent]

Another big punch-up between boiler suited minions and an invading task force.

 

Better continuation author:

 

Sebastian Faulks

 

or

 

William Boyd

 

?

[DaveBond21]

Faulks

 

Better Dalton scene:-

 

Interrogating Pushkin in TLD

 

or

 

Manipulating Sanchez in LTK

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Manipulating Sanchez in 'LTK' - just a great few scenes adding to a fitting conclusion

 

 

Picking faults in Daniel Craig:

 

Too "normal looking" and working class for someone as suave and sophisticated as Bond

 

OR

 

Too serious

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Too serious

 

Bond villain name for Bond 26:-

 

Killa

 

or

 

Mister Dog-Bucket

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Killa, cousin of Mr.Kil

 

 

Picking faults in Sean Connery:

 

Not a very 3-dimensional performance

 

OR

 

Simply too Scottish

 

??

[The Dove]

Not a very 3-dimensional performance..

 

Which was the worst delivery of the "Bond, James Bond" line... Brosnan to Elliot Carver in TND OR Dalton to Linda in the pre-titles of TLD?

[Call Billy Bob]

Dalton, too fast and un-interested...


Better theatrical/promotional posters:

Goldfinger

OR

Diamonds Are Forever ?

[AMC Hornet]

I always preferred the noisy posters of the late 60s and 70s, but the GF poster was probably more arresting in its day.

 

(And I beg to differ, CBB, but I prefer Dalton's curt introduction in TLD - who goes around introducing themselves like their name is a punch line? (A: RM & PB)).

 

Is it time for another wild chase with Bond outmaneuvering, out-stunting and generally wiping out a fleet of police cars?

 

Yes

or

No

?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Done well, yes.

 

Better Bond 26 villain:

 

Jean Reno

 

or

 

Arnold Vosloo

 

?

[seawolfnyy]

Jean Reno.


Better alias of 006:
Boromir
OR
Eddard Stark
?

[The Dove]

Boromir..

 

 

in honor of the late Robert Reitty...Which Bond character overdub do you think was his best... Strangways in Dr. No, Largo in Thunderball OR Tiger Tanaka in You Only Live Twice?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Tough call. But I would probably have to go with Tiger Tanaka in You Only Live Twice. It was probably harder for him to do a realistic Japanese accent than an Italian or English one.

 

Better John Gardner henchwoman:

 

Anni Tudeer (Icebreaker)

 

or

 

Nannie Norrich (Nobody Lives Forever)

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Nannie Norrich - memorable, at least to me.

 

 

Quiet on the 'Spectre' front. What's the next news we'll get:

 

New video blog / preview clip of the film

 

OR

 

Title song / theme reveal

 

??

[Double-Oh Agent]

New video blog / preview clip of the film.

 

Better Gardner henchwoman:

 

Clover Pennington (Win, Lose Or Die)

 

or

 

Beth (SeaFire)

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Beth

 

 

UK box-office supremacy:

 

'Spectre'

 

OR

 

'Avengers: Age Of Ultron'

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Spectre. Avengers will reign at the U.S. Box office though.


Which film will end with a higher gross worldwide:
Spectre
OR
Furious 7
?

[DaveBond21]

SPECTRE.

 

Preferred boat chase:-

 

LALD

 

or

 

Moonraker

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

LALD - there was more of it, and two iconic stunts.

 

Better underpowered chase:

 

Citroen DCV in FYOE

or

'Company car' tuk-tuk in OP

?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Company car' tuk-tuk in 'OP' - great use of the city and some good action for a unique vehicle

 

 

Will we finally see DC ski in 'Spectre' do you think?

 

YES - Bond cant' traverse snow without some ski action

 

OR

 

NO - Stunning scenery aside, he won't be getting the skis on this time

 

??

[DaveBond21]

I will guess at Yes.

 

Which train fight do you prefer:-

 

Fighting Jaws in TSWLM

 

or

 

Fighting Tee Hee in LALD?

[Double-Oh Agent]

Tough choice but I will go with the hulking Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me

 

Better Gardner henchwoman:

 

Nannie Norrich (Nobody Lives Forever)

 

or

 

Beth (SeaFire)

 

?

[glidrose]

Nannie Norrich (Nobody Lives Forever) because I actually remember her.

Cooler title:

No Deals, Mr. Bond

007 in New York

[seawolfnyy]

Ugh, 007 in New York.


Better unused Fleming scene:
Mud baths from DAF
OR
Giant Squid from Dr. No
?

[glidrose]

Mud baths from DAF. Fits in well with the current Craig approach.

More annoying CBn member:

ML94 (Daniel Craig is no good, he sux, he's Vladimir Putin's love child, bring back Pierce Brosnan)

or

Glidrose.

[DaveBond21]

Oh, it's a close one, but I will go for the ML94. 

 

Preferred chase scene in Bond 25:-

 

Villain chases Bond through a wood, leading to a fight in a river in Canada

 

or

 

Villain chases Bond on motorbike across Tower Bridge in London

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Canada. Could be an exciting sequence.

 

Better promo/theatrical posters 2:

 

For Your Eyes Only

 

OR

 

The Living Daylights ?

[thecasinoroyale]

'The Living Daylights' - classic Bond style for a new 007

 

 

What factor of the modern James Bond theme heard since 'Casino Royale' irks you:

 

Too much twangy guitar

 

OR

 

Too much bongos

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Bongos?

 

What would you rather returned in Bond 25:-

 

Outlandish plot, volcano hide-out and crazy villain

 

or

 

a Bond girl with a silly name

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Over-the-top! A little ott Bond now and then doesn't hurt

 

 

Who would have made the better Bond:

 

Terence Stamp

 

OR

 

Richard Todd ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Richard Todd in his day - Terence Stamp just wouldn't have the right qualities I don't think.

 

 

British talent to feature in 'Bond 25':

 

Ian McKellen

 

OR

 

Martin Freeman

 

??
