Kissy actually.

 

What would you rather see in Bond 25:-

 

The double-taking pigeon

 

or

 

A rebooted Jinx

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

The double-taking pigeon. Unlike many Bond fans, it has never bothered me.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Agreed. The snowplane chase in the Alps is my favorite action scene in SP.

 

Better villain:

 

Hugo Drax(MR)

 

or

 

General Georgi Koskov(TLD)?

[thecasinoroyale]

I don't mind Koskov at all, but I think Drax has that classic quality of a Bond villain.


Which villainous element do you think needs to return to threaten Bond?

Holding a major city / country at ransom

OR

Wiping out a government's economy / nuclear arsenal

??

[DaveBond21]

Holding a city to ransom

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

Goldeneye

 

or

 

Tomorrow Never Dies

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Tomorrow Never Dies' PTS. Arnold's "White Knight" seals the deal for me.

 

Better final battle sequence:

 

U.S. Navy frogmen vs. SPECTRE frogmen in Thunderball

 

or

 

Colonel Scott's NASA Space Marines vs. Drax's astronauts in Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm. Both decent enough but 'Moonraker' is a little devoid of tension or brutality, so I'll give it to 'Thunderball', also a very good sequence editing wise.

 

 

Worst Roger Moore pun from 'Live And Let Die':

 

"He always did have an inflated opinion of himself!"

 

OR

 

"Just being dis-arming, darling."

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

"He always did have an inflated opinion of himself."

 

Domino Derval in Thunderball

 

or

 

Holly Goodhead in Moonraker?

[DaveBond21]

Domino

 

Preferred PTS scenario for Bond 25:-

 

Blofeld escaping from prison by new henchman, called Fingers

 

or

 

Madeleine Swann murdered and Bond looking for revenge

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Ugh. Well I'm bored of the whole 'Bond goes out for revenge' story so going to have to bring in Fingers I think to rescue Blofeld!

 

 

Next villain for 'Bond 25'....

 

Lucia Sciarra returns

 

OR

 

Hinx returns with grievous bodily wounds

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Lucia Sciarra returns

 

Which of the following OP/TLD villainous 1980s duo mixups would make for a more lethal combo to defeat:

 

General Orlov teams up with Brad Whitaker

 

or

 

General Georgi Koskov teams up with Prince Kamal Khan?

[The Dove]

Koskov and Prince Kamal..

 

Which '90s Bond villains mixups would be most lethal...

 

 Alec Trevelyan and Gustav Graves, Elliot Carver and Elektra King, OR Renard and Zao?

[thecasinoroyale]

Each has a great one and duff one...so I go for...Renard and Zao - both have that callous, near-suicidal violence to them like a freight train with no brakes.

 

 

Worst Pierce Brosnan pun from 'Die Another Day'

 

"Don't blow it all at once!"

 

OR

 

"Saved by the bell!"

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

"Don't blow it all at once!"

 

Better car chase:

(TLD) The Aston Martin Volante chase resulting in Bond and Kara escaping from behind the iron curtain via her cello case

 

or

 

(TSWLM) The Lotus Espirit chase resulting in Bond and Triple X traveling underwater in it to explore Stromberg's Atlantis?

[DaveBond21]

TSWLM - one of the best chases in the entire series.

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Snake Eyes

 

or

 

Phoenix

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Phoenix. (I believe the other title was used for a Nicholas Cage movie).

 

Bond film/composer mixup. Would your rather see:

 

Moonraker with a score composed by Bill Conti

 

or

 

For Your Eyes Only with a score composed by John Barry?

[thecasinoroyale]

'FYEO' - keep the Conti gunbarrel though, scrap the rest easily.

 

 

Worst pun from Sean Connery in 'Dr.No'...

 

"I think they were on their way to a funeral."

 

OR

 

"No...I'm just looking."

 

??

[The Dove]

I don't think the "I'm just looking" line was really a pun, hence why I'll say it's the worst..

 

Better pun in a Bond film...

 

"I've always been a fan of Chinese technology!" - Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies

 

                    OR

 

" He was buried with work! " - Brosnan in The World Is Not Enough

[PrinceKamalKhan]

"He was buried with work!"-Brosnan in TWINE

 

Better secondary Bond girl:

Pola Ivanova in AVTAK

 

or

 

Lucia Sciarra in SP?

[DaveBond21]

Both good but I will opt for Pola.

 

Preferred villain name for Bond 25:-

 

Dr Shatterhand

 

or

 

General Sun

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Dr Shatterhand....no Moons / Suns as it reminds me of 'Die Another Day'!

 

 

Worst pun from Pierce Brosnan in 'GoldenEye':

 

"Beg your pardon, forgot to knock!"

 

OR

 

"The things we do for frequent flier mileage!"

 

??

[The Dove]

"Beg your pardon, forgot to knock!"

 

Which was the more gruesome deformity...Blofeld's scar in SPECTRE or Silva's melted jawbone from the cyanide in Skyfall??

[thecasinoroyale]

I think Silva had a rough end of the deal in deformities...eye,-socket, cheek and jawbone. Eeesh.

 

 

Worst pun by Roger Moore in 'A View To A Kill':

 

"There's a fly in his soup!"

 

OR

 

"Don't worry, it's all wrapped up."

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Ha ha, there's a fly in his soup!

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

TLD

 

or

 

TND

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

TLD(great introduction for Dalton's Bond).

 

Better pre-title sequence:

 

OP

 

or

 

LTK?

[thecasinoroyale]

I love 'LTK' - both good fun, but that steals it with Dalton v Davi!

 

 

Worst pun for Dalton in 'LTK':

 

"Looks like he came to a dead end!"

 

OR

 

"Bon appetite!"

 

??

[The Dove]

The "dead end" pun...groan! LOL

 

Who was the bigger cheater... Kamal Khan, using loaded dice during the backgammon game in OP,  Le Chiffre (Orson Welles in '67 Casino Royale), using the VERY obvious X-ray sunglasses during the baccarat tournament, Goldfinger and Odd Job, playing golf ball switcheroo during the golf round in GF, OR Bond, turning the tables during that round on Goldfinger by making him play with the wrong ball??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

I think that Auric Goldfinger and Oddjob are the definitive cheaters in the Bond series.

 

Better SPECTRE board meeting sequence:

 

The SPECTRE board meeting in Paris in TB

 

or

 

The SPECTRE board meeting in Rome in SP?

[DaveBond21]

Both good but I prefer the original in Thunderball.

 

Preferred score:-

 

Bill Conti for FYEO

 

or

 

Thomas Newman for SPECTRE

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Newman's for SP

 

Better Craig-era blond Bond girl:

 

The receptionist at the Ocean Club in the Bahamas in CR

 

 

or

 

Madeleine Swann in SP


?

[thecasinoroyale]

Got to go for Lea this time!


Worst pun by Dalton in 'The Living Daylights'...

"He got the boot!"

OR

"He met his Waterloo!"

??
