The hotel room - at least it wasn't as OTT as the beach fight.

 

 

Worst piece of speeded up film in 'FYEO':

 

The Citroen reversing around the corner in the mountain chase

 

OR

 

The grappling hooks coming loose on St Cyrils

 

??

[The Dove]

Got to go with the seaside fight with Draco's thugs..

I think this one got missed:

 

The hotel room - at least it wasn't as OTT as the beach fight.

 

 

Worst piece of speeded up film in 'FYEO':

 

The Citroen reversing around the corner in the mountain chase

 

OR

 

The grappling hooks coming loose on St Cyrils

 

??

 

Neither bothered me but I'll say the Citroen reversing around the corner in the mountain chase.

 

Got to go with the seaside fight with Draco's thugs..

Better onscreen chemistry:

 

Bond and Octopussy Smythe in OP

 

or

 

Bond and Madeleine Swann in SPECTRE?


 

[Professor Pi]

I always thought Moore's Bond and Maud Adams' Octopussy had good chemistry.  Maybe it's 'cause they knew each other from working together before.  I can't argue with the logic of Bond and Swann together (hmmm... kill Blofeld or hang with blonde with French accent?), but there's not a lot of chemistry there.  Craig has more with Vesper and Camille even.

 

Teri Hatcher as Donna Lucia

 

OR

 

Monica Bellucci as Paris Carver

 

??

[The Dove]

Monica Bellucci as Paris Carver..

Lea Seydoux...better in SPECTRE OR Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol?

[seawolfnyy]

Ghost Protocol. I like her as the villain.


Better non-Bond actor's role:
Craig in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
OR
Sean Connery in The Rock
?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Connery in The Rock

 

Better funhouse sequence in the TMWTGG:

Scaramanga vs. Rodney the gangster in the pre-title sequence

 

or

 

Scaramanga vs. Bond in the film's finale?

[thecasinoroyale]

Got to go with Scaramanga v Bond - we don't have that daft Al Capone gag and music. Makes me cringe every time.

 

 

Which villain deserved to live and return for another Bond film, to take one final stand against 007?

 

Aris Kristatos from 'FYEO'

 

OR

 

Franz Sanchez from 'LTK'

 

??

[The Dove]

Franz Sanchez from LTK..

 

 

Should Jeffrey Wright's Felix Leiter return in Bond 25?? YES or NO?

[thecasinoroyale]

No - he had a good debut, but a weak follow up and he's not been missed or needed. It was nice having him mentioned in 'SPECTRE' however.

 

 

Have we seen the last of Lucia Sciarra from 'SPECTRE'?

 

Yes - regardless of what we like or want, she played her part and has now vanished

 

OR

 

NO - she was too important to let go, and she may be a face we see again in future

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

No-she was too important to let go and she may be a face we see again in the future.

 

Better Bond vs. SPECTRE agent fight:

Bond vs. Colonel jacques Bouvard(the alleged "widow") in the pretitle sequence of Thunderball

 

or

 

Bond vs. Hans(Blofeld's henchman) in Blofeld's volcano apartment/office near the end of You Only Live Twice?

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond vs Bouvard - had a bit more brutality and connection to it.

 

 

 

Which ally of 007s in 'AVTAK' proved most useless overall:

 

Sir Godfrey Tibbet

 

OR

 

Chuck Lee

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

I like Tibbett more so I'll say Lee.

 

Better Bond rescuing a damsel-in-distress scene in SPECTRE:

 

Bond rescuing Lucia from the two SPECTRE hitmen at her villa in Rome

 

or

 

Bond rescuing Madeleine from the deathtrap Blofeld set for her at the about to be demolished MI6 HQ building in London?

[DaveBond21]

Bond rescuing Lucia.

 

Barbara Broccoli wants YOU to star in Bond 25, but you need to choose which role:-

 

- you replace Rory Kinnear as Tanner

 

or

 

- you replace Christoph Waltz as Blofeld

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Easy one here - Kinnear can go and I'll be glad to be involved with the MI6 team!

 

 

David Bowie has sadly died - if there had been involvement for him in the Bond universe, what would you have liked it to have been:

 

Playing Max Zorin in 'A View To A Kill'

 

OR

 

Recording a Bond theme circa 1980s

 

??

[The Dove]

Recording a Bond theme in the '80s...

 

So....have you pre-ordered your copy of SPECTRE on DVD or Blu-Ray yet?? Yes...or No, I'll just pop out to the store and get it when it's released?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

No. I plan on getting it at the store on February 9.

 

More effective SPECTRE adversary for Bond in Thunderball:

 

Fiona Volpe

 

or

 

Emilio Largo?

[DaveBond21]

Fiona

 

Favourite scene in FYEO:_

 

 - keel hauling sequence

 

or

 

- rock climbing during the finale

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Both very good sequences, but for the mighty stunt work often overlooked, I go for the mountain climb at St Cyril's

 

 

On that note, which stunt is often overlooked, despite being a brilliant one:

 

Mountain climbing St Cyril's ('FYEO')

 

OR

 

Water-skiing and jumping onto a plane taking off ('LTK')

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Water-skiing and jumping onto a plane taking off in LTK(quite an impressive, TB-like sequence for the Dalton era).

Better portrayal of Ernst Stavro Blofeld:

Charles Gray in DAF

 

or

 

Christoph Waltz in SP?

[DaveBond21]

Waltz

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Killer Instinct

 

or

 

Death for Breakfast

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Death For Breakfast....less like a Michael Douglas film!

 

 

Should James Bond marry again in the film canon?

 

YES - It will lead to more interesting stories and development

 

OR

 

NO - It's been done and would be simply repetitive

 

??

[The Dove]

No- it's been done..

 

Do you think EON should aim for the release date of Bond 25 to be in a year when the next Star Wars (Ep.8 is May, 2017) or Mission Impossible (MI6, unknown yet but it's in the works) are not out as well? Yes, it might be better for Bond will less major competition at the Box office OR No, Bond can hold his own among the crowd?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Yes, it might be better for Bond with less competition at the box office.

 

Karl Stromberg

 

or

 

Elliot Carver?

[DaveBond21]

Stromberg.

 

Preferred single location for Bond 25:-

 

Cold climate, eg Canada

 

or

 

Warm climate, eg Brazil

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Cold climate, eg Canada

 

Better scene in SPECTRE:

 

The snowplane action sequence in the Austrian Alps

 

or

 

The car chase in Rome?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm. I think for entertainment value, the plane chase in the Alps. The Rome chase was good and looked nice but nothing REALLY happened in it. It was like a long Aston Martin advert.

 

 

Do you consider 'SPECTRE' to be...

 

A Hit - Raked millions in at the box-office and produced a fine future for the series with new characters and relationships

 

OR

 

A Miss - Carried along in the box-office by franchise name only, and offered little and ultimately a weak overall entry

 

??

[DaveBond21]

For me, a hit.

 

Which scene do you prefer in Quantum of Solace:-

 

The boat chase

 

or

 

The plane chase

 

??

[The Dove]

I think I preferred the boat chase actually..

 

Which foot chase in the Daniel Craig era did you like best... Bond chasing Mollaka in Casino Royale, Bond chasing Carter in Quantum of Solace, or Bond chasing Marco Sciarra in SPECTRE??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Bond chasing Mollaka in Casino Royale

 

Kissy Suzuki

 

or

 

Kara Milovy?
