Definitely Brosnan, hanging upside down in the toilet and knocking the guy out..

 

The end credits of SPECTRE...should they feature a re-hash of the main title song, a la Casino Royale or some secondary theme song, a la TLD, GE, TND or LTK??

[Double-Oh Agent]

I'll go with some secondary song--hopefully a la Tomorrow Never Dies. The other three films' secondary songs are just ok, but I still like having a secondary song. But please, no more end song being the James Bond Theme. I love the theme but we need to have something different for the final song.

 

Better SPECTRE opening titles motif:

 

Spectres / ghosts

 

or

 

Octopi

 

?

[DaveBond21]

Spectres and ghosts

 

Preferred scene:-

 

The gypsy camp fight in FRWL

 

or

 

The space station shootout in Moonraker

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

The gypsy camp fight in 'FRWL' - more real, and well choreographed.


Best Bond debut shot:

Daniel Craig seated in the shadows in 'Casino Royale'

OR

Roger Moore in bed with a lady in 'Live And Let Die'

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Craig, perfect intro to his interpretation of 007.


How long will SPECTRE, the organization, live on in this rebooted timeline?

1-3 films (defeated either by Craig or his immediate successor),

4-5 films (it'll take awhile, like the previous iteration),

or indefinitely (why eliminate Bond's greatest threat?)

[DaveBond21]

4-5 films.

 

Preferred scenario in Bond 25:-

 

Bond is captured by terrorists in Tokyo and it's up to 008 to save him

 

or

 

Bond is sent by M to terminate the other 00s who have ganged together to create a criminal organisation simply called Double O.

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I'll take 007 taking on the 'Double O's, as 008 shouldn't steal the limelight from Bond!


Best intro from the gunbarrel iris:

The helicopter flies over the icebergs in 'A View To A Kill'

OR

The plane flies over the dam in 'GoldenEye'

??

[glidrose]

I'll go with AVTAK.

 

Better continuation author:

 

John Pearson

or

Kingsley Amis

[DaveBond21]

Amis

 

Preferred scenario:-

 

Bond 25 to be written by Anthony Horowitz and directed by Sam Mendes

 

or

 

Bond 25 to be written by Purvis & Wade and directed by Martin Campbell

 

??

[The Dove]

Purvis and Wade write B25 (with Paul Haggis back as well) and have Martin Campbell direct..

 

The title of Bond 25...should it be..yet another single word title, thus making it three films in a row with just a single word title, OR No, have a multiple word title?

[Call Billy Bob]

Yes, Shatterhand!


Better climax:

Bond and Alec battling on the satellite dish in GoldenEye

OR

Bond and Wai Lin take on Carver and Co. aboard the stealth boat in Tomorrow Never Dies ?

[DaveBond21]

Goldeneye

 

Title for Bond 25:

 

Trigger Happy

 

or

 

Spectre vs Spectre

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

'Trigger Happy'


Best intro from the gunbarrel iris #2:

The submarine and watery music in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

OR

Bond running across the road looking dapper in 'The World Is Not Enough'

??

[DaveBond21]

TSWLM

 

Favourite villain:-

 

Goldfinger

 

or

 

Silva

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm. Both good...but something about Goldfinger gives him the edge, I think how much of the classic criminal mastermind he is.

 

Best ending to a Bond film:

 

The fish gives a wink beside Bond and Pam in 'Licence To Kill'

 

OR

 

Bond and Jinx talk dirty with diamonds in 'Die Another Day'

 

??

[glidrose]

The fish gives a wink beside Bond and Pam in 'Licence To Kill'

Classier attire:

J.W. Pepper's shirt in TMWTGG

Jack Wade's shirt in TND

[The Dove]

Hmm...gosh, what a choice.. LOL! I'll go with J.W.'s shirt (made in Bangkok, that he bought in New York to come and film in Bangkok) in TMWTGG..

 

Worst ending to a Bond film... Tracy being shot at the end of OHMSS, Bond and Domino flying away via the sea rescue plane in TB OR Bond and Jinx playing with the diamonds at the end of DAD??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Bond and Jinx with the diamonds. I like the other 2 you mentioned, especially the Bond/Domino sea rescue plane one.

 

 

Dalton-era Blonds(Kara Milovy, Caroline Bliss' Miss Moneypenny, Della Churchill Leiter)

 

or

 

Dalton-era Brunettes(Linda from the TLD pre-title sequence, Pam Bouvier alias "Miss Kennedy", Lupe Lamora)?

[The Dove]

Definitely I prefer the Dalton-era Brunettes...

 

 

Better non- Maurice Binder or Daniel Kleinman title sequence... MK12's Quantum of Solace OR Robert Brownjohn's From Russia With Love?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Robert Brownjohn's FRWL titles.

 

Stronger villain triumvirate:

 

Dr. No/Auric Goldfinger/Karl Stromberg

 

or

 

Francisco Scaramanga/Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Franz Sanchez?

 

 

[thecasinoroyale]

Gotta go with the Scaramanga/Blofeld/Sanchez combo.


Best 'innuendo ending with "sir"' line to end a Moore film:


"She's just coming, sir." - 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

OR

"I think he's attempting re-entry, sir." - 'Moonraker'

??

[DaveBond21]

Re-entry!

 

What would you rather see happen:-

 

Bond 25 is Daniel Craig's last and he is followed by Henry Cavill who makes 3 extremely humorous Bonds in tribute to Roger Moore

 

or

 

Daniel Craig continues as Bond for 4 more movies but they are scene for scene remakes of DAF, Octopussy, LTK and Goldeneye

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Cavill would be fun, but gotta go for more Craig, regardless of the remakes as they could be great.


Classic "Oh, James!" moment:

The dreamy sigh given in the ski lodge in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

OR

Octopussy being seduced in...'Octopussy'

??

[DaveBond21]

Ha ha, Octopussy. It sounds like it was recorded at a completely different time and place!

 

Preferred way to die:-

 

Hunted by a SPECTRE agent as part of a training exercise a la FRWL

 

or

 

Eaten by piranhas as in YOLT

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Hunted by a SPECTRE agent as part of a training exercise a la FRWL(far less painful I would think).

 

Better premise for a buddy movie:

Sean Connery's James Bond meets Roger Moore's Simon Templar

 

or

 

Roger Moore's James Bond meets Pierce Brosnan's Remington Steele?

[thecasinoroyale]

Moore and Brosnan for sure!
 
 
Better "Bond gets the girl" finale:
 
Roger Moore and Barbara Bach keep the British end up in 'TSWLM'
 
OR
 
Sean Connery and Honour Blackman don't get rescued in 'GF'
 
??

[The Dove]

I'll give the nod to Connery and Blackman in Goldfinger..

 

The new SPECTRE TV spot...which previously unseen bit of footage are you most jazzed about...the Jaguar vs Aston chase along the Tiber banks in Rome, Bond and Miss Bellucci and THE LINE, OR the crashing airplane sequence in Austria?

[DaveBond21]

The car chase

 

Which scene would you like to see recreated in a Craig Bond movie:-

 

A horse race as in AVTAK

 

or

 

A fencing fight like the one in DAD

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A horse as in AVTAK, it's been used less recently.

 

Better sequel to the events of On Her Majesty's Secret Service:

 

The pretitle sequence of Diamonds Are Forever

 

or

 

The pretitle sequence of For Your Eyes Only?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be 'FYEO' - at least there was some emotion to link the 'OHMSS' event, unlike 'DAF'.

 

On that note: 'Diamonds Are Forever' - do you think...

 

Continued the events from 'OHMSS', but catered in a more lighter way for Connery

 

OR

 

Ignored the events as much as possible in 'OHMSS', letting Connery ignore Lazenby's portrayal

 

??
