[Double-Oh Agent]

A big, brash over the top comedy with lots of crazy stunts and lots of one-liners.

 

Better 007 sendoff:

 

Never Say Never Again for Sean Connery

 

or

 

A View To A Kill for Roger Moore

 

?

[The Dove]

Have to go with NSNA and Connery's "breaking-the-fourth-wall" wink to the audience..

 

Useless henchmen and main baddie mix up... Elvis from QoS with Sean Bean's Alec Trevelyan, Mr. Kil from DAD with Robert Davi's Franz Sanchez OR Burt Saxby from DAF and Gert Frobe's Goldfinger?

[DaveBond21]

Sanchez and Mr Kil

 

Which is the most beautiful Bond location out of these 2:-

 

Bond's hotel in Cortina on FYEO

 

or

 

The Amazon rainforest in Moonraker

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Definitely the Amazon rainforest in MR. That whole sequence(the boat chase, the hangglider escape, Bond's walk thru the jungle pursuing Drax's girl, the arrival of the remaining girls and Bond's battle with the python) is my favorite scene from not only that particular film but the entire Moore era.

 

Which would you rather have in the series:

 

A Timothy Dalton Bond film directed by Martin Campbell

 

or

 

A Pierce Brosnan Bond film directed by John Glen?

[AMC Hornet]

Dalton & Campbell? Bring it on!

 

If it hadn't been Daniel Craig:

 

Clive Owen

 

or

 

Alex O'Loughlin

 

?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Clive Owen

 

Timothy Dalton meets Helga Brandt a.k.a. No. 11(YOLT)

 

or

 

 George Lazenby meets Cigar Girl(TWINE)?

[DaveBond21]

Dalton and Brandt would have been interesting

 

What would you rather have Bond 25 called:-

 

The Spy Who Got Away

 

or

 

The Dead Never Speak

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

The Dead Never Speak of the Spy Who Got Away.

[DaveBond21]

Preferred scenario in Bond 25:-

 

Bond narrates the movie (we hear many of his thoughts)

 

or

 

Bond has a comical side kick monkey called Billy The Boom

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Narration all the way!

 

 

Which film are you "celebrating" the anniversary of this year:

 

'Thunderball' being 50

 

OR

 

'GoldenEye' being 20

 

??

[Double-Oh Agent]

I like GoldenEye better but a 50-year anniversary is pretty special, so I go with Thunderball.

 

Better 007 sendoff:

 

Timothy Dalton in Licence To Kill

 

or

 

Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day

 

?

[DaveBond21]

Dalton in LTK. Of course we didn't know it was a likely send-off at the time.

 

Preferred scene in Octopussy:-

 

The PTS

 

or

 

Bond and Gobinda fight on the plane at the end

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Both good fun, but the pre-titles has to have the edge for being what it is!


Most convincing rogue agent to go up against Bond:

Ed Killifer in 'LTK'

OR

Miranda Frost in 'DAD'

??

[Double-Oh Agent]

Going by motive to turn bad, I'd go with Ed Killifer in Licence To Kill. If you're talking acting, I'd go with Miranda Frost in Die Another Day.

 

Better 007 sendoff:

 

Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again

 

or

 

Timothy Dalton in Licence To Kill

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Timothy Dalton, as I don't consider Connery in 'NSNA' to be part of the Bond canon.

 

 

Most insulting film to stand beside the EON films:

 

'Casino Royale' with David Niven

 

OR

 

'Never Say Never Again' with Sean Connery

 

??

[Call Billy Bob]

NSNA, for sure. Casino Royale '67 I find to be funny and quirky - NSNA... I find to be a bore.


Famous landmark that would make a great climax to a Bond film:

Sydney Opera House (Australia)

OR

Space Needle (Seattle) ?

[DaveBond21]

The Opera House because it's 3 minutes walk from my work, and I could provide photos on here of filming in progress!

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Bang

 

or

 

Breakfast in Rio

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

'Breakfast in Rio' - a hint of mystery about it. I guess!


If one villain summed up what James Bond films were about, who would represent them:

Auric Goldfinger

OR

Hugo Drax

??

[Call Billy Bob]

Goldfinger


Villain swap! (film, not novel)

Dr. No in You Only Live Twice

OR

Blofeld in Dr. No (I realize that you would need to rename the film, but just consider the plot)

[DaveBond21]

Blofeld in Dr No

 

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

The Dead can't Walk

 

or

 

A Meeting in Moscow

 

??

[The Dove]

A Meeting In Moscow..

Which classic Bond henchman/men should be rebooted for Daniel Craig or his predecessor.. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from DAF or Eric Kriegler from FYEO??

[thecasinoroyale]

We have too many "strong heavies" who do little, like Kriegler, wasted in modern Bond films, so shake it up and go for a homosexual duo of killers - Wint and Kidd!

 

 

The 'Spectre' trailer has been cut and approved. Will it be seen:

 

This month (July)

 

OR

 

Next month (August)

 

??

[DaveBond21]

This month

 

Preferred villain:-

 

Kristatos

 

or

 

Koskov

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

Koskov.

 

Sure, he was just as much a wimp as Kristatos, but at least he had some charm. Giving Kristatos Mr. Big's keel-hauling scene didn't work for me.

 

I hear people complain that the cinematography in Dr. No, LALD, TMWTGG and LTK makes them look - to 'sophisticated' modern audiences - like 'made for TV' movies. As cinema effects technology continues to evolve, is Moonraker soon to join that list?

 

Yes or no?

[thecasinoroyale]

Yes, sadly. It's almost going to the "Made for TV" Bond special taking him to outer-space!

 

 

In the 'Spectre' trailer....will we get to SEE Christoph Waltz?

 

NO - Just hear him and keep in the shadow for a real Bond mystery and reveal

 

OR

 

YES - He's too good NOT to include in trailers, regardless of his character or position

 

??

[The Dove]

YES- I think we'll finally get a glimpse of Mr. Waltz in this upcoming trailer.

 

What do you think we'll get first...this new SPECTRE trailer OR an official announcement of who the title song artist is?

[DaveBond21]

The trailer

 

You get to choose the artist and song title for Bond 25 but you only have 2 options - which do you go for:-

 

Shirley Bassey & Ed Sheeran - I Really Want To Kill You

 

or

 

Duran Duran - Never Say Die

 

????

[thecasinoroyale]

As much as I think they've lost their way, I'll go for Duran Duran!

 

 

In this era of superhero/comic overload, is James Bond...

 

More important than ever to remind us not all action / adventure films need to be huge Hollywood A-list CGI fests.

 

OR

 

Going to slowly suffer at competiting with the mass comic franchises spewing out so much to such big numbers and eager fans

 

??

[DaveBond21]

A bit of both but more of A

 

Would you rather be:-

 

M

 

or

 

Q

 

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Q - seems to have more fun and less danger in the current Craig era!
 
 
Which gadget was the most coincidental:
 
Buzzsaw watch in 'Live And Let Die' for cutting ropes
 
OR
 
Grappling hook watch in 'The World Is Not Enough' to leap out of a pit
