"He got the boot".

 

Preferred song:-

 

Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight

 

or

 

Goldeneye by Tina Turner

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

LTK by Gladys Knight sans Pips.

 

Better secondary villain:

General Orlov in OP

 

or

 

C in SP?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh. Both good, devious characters - I'll just give it to Orlov as I love his evident unstability.

 

 

 

Worst pun by Brosnan in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

 

"They'll print anything these days!"

 

OR

 

"Backseat driver!"

 

??

[The Dove]

Both were great in my opinion, but maybe the "print anything these days" was a tad bit corny..

 

Bond vs Henchmen mix-ups.. Pierce Brosnan's 007 fighting Dave Bautista's Mr. Hinx, Daniel Craig's 007 fighting Famke Jansen's Xenia Onotopp, OR Sean Connery's 007 fighting Richard Kiel's Jaws?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Sean Connery's 007 vs. Jaws

 

Better final action sequence set in a big city after the main action climax:

the one involving Bond, Stacey, Zorin and the zeppelin in San Francisco after the Silicon Valley action climax in AVTAK

 

or

 

the one involving Bond, Madeleine, Oberhauser a.k.a. Blofeld and the helicopter in London after the Moroccan desert action climax in SP?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be 'AVTAK' for me, I love the Bond / Zorin finale.

 

 

Do you think, gut feeling, Bond 25 and 26 will be a two parter / sequel to tie up the Craig era?

 

YES - Waltz will return as Blofeld to really flesh out and finish Craig's run in style

 

OR

 

NO - Bond 25 will serve the purpose, but will probably be the last Craig 007 film

 

??

[DaveBond21]

No, Bond 25 will be a standalone Bond movie (in 2018)

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Gold Lives Forever

 

or

 

No Time To Die

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

'No Time To Die'....very Brosnan like.

 

 

 

Worst pun from Sean Connery in 'Diamonds Are Forever':

 

"He certainly left with his tail between his legs!"

 

OR

 

"There is something I'd like you to get off your chest...!"

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

There were no bad lines in DAF!

 

But I suppose "He certainly left with his tails between his legs" comes in second.

 

Better LALD line:

 

"I'm sure we'll be able to lick you into shape"

or

"I certainly wouldn't have killed you before"

?

[glidrose]

"I'm sure we'll be able to lick you into shape"

...give me a moment to think of something.

Most convincing visible ethnic minority:

The native North American Indians during the CR'67 casino finale

The non-Chinese Zena Marshall as the Chinese "Miss Taro" in Dr. No.

Michael G. Wilson as a Korean soldier in GF.

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be MGW, of course!

 

 

Worst pun from Sean Connery in 'Goldfinger'...

 

"Shocking. Positively shocking."

 

OR

 

"Playing his golden harp."

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Playing his golden harp

 

Preferred title song:-

 

Moonraker

 

or

 

Tomorrow Never Dies

 

??

[The Dove]

Moonraker

 

Say that there were to be a cross-over film featuring Daniel Craig's 007 and one other spy/assassin...who should it be? Matt Damon's Jason Bourne or Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt ??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Ethan Hunt

 

Better final battle:

U.S. Navy frogmen vs. SPECTRE frogmen underwater near Miami Beach in TB

 

or

 

Marc-Ange Draco's Union Corse vs. Blofeld's SPECTRE at Piz Gloria in OHMSS?

[The Dove]

The frogmen vs SPECTRE in Thunderball...something very unique about that sequence..almost ballet like...

 

Which was the best Victor Tourjansky double-take moment in a Bond... him with the bottle of wine on the beach in The Spy Who Loved Me, him with the wine in St. Mark's Square in Moonraker, OR him standing up in gaping awe as the motorcycles come crashing through the restaurant in For Your Eyes Only??

[DaveBond21]

Ha ha, I like FYEO because it's the continuation of the gag, and his face is funniest in this one!

 

Preferred villain name for a new 007 in Bond 26:-

 

Dr Octopus

 

or

 

Mr Death

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Dr. Octopus(although Marvel Comics might not allow that).

 

Better Craig era Bond/secondary Bond girl couple:

Bond and Solange in CR:

 

or

 

Bond and Donna Lucia in SP:


?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Bond and Lucia Sciarra - Bellucci is just delicious in her small role. 

 

 

Most pointless appearance by Felix Leiter...

 

'The Living Daylights' - looking at computer monitors and drinking coffee

 

OR

 

'Quantum Of Solace' - looking miserable and drinking beer

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

QOS-looking miserable and drinking beer

 

Better secondary 1980s Bond villain:

 

Colonel Heller in Licence To Kill

 

http://www.jamesbond...ains/don-stroud

 

or 

 

Scarpine in A View To A Kill

http://www.jamesbond...patrick-bauchau ?

 

 

[DaveBond21]

Heller

 

What would you prefer for Bond 25:-

 

007 is brainwashed by Blofeld to attack M

 

or

 

Tanner is killed and Bond goes looking for revenge

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

I'd rather see that sequence from TMWTGG done justice than anything from The Killing Zone, so Bond attacking M.

[DaveBond21]

I'd rather see TMWTGG filmed than anything from The Killing Zone, so Bond attacking M.

 

OK your turn.

[AMC Hornet]

(Sorry, Dave - I'd submitted the answer first to hold my place while I thought up a challenge.)

 

Is DaveBond21 picking our brains for a future script/novel submission?

 

Yes, in which case he has to share credit with all of us for helping him weed out some of his more hare-brained ideas,

or

No, he just wants us to suspect that he's really Anthony Horowitz and leave us concerned that he intends to use some of his more radical suggestions in the future.

 

(Those are your only choices.)

[thecasinoroyale]

Yes! For sure - we want credit!

 

 

What element in the story do you NOT want to see in 'Bond 25':

 

A personal "revenge" mission for 007

 

OR

 

An insider in MI6 is pulling the strings

 

??

[glidrose]

Either!

[DaveBond21]

OK your turn then.

[DaveBond21]

OK, I will go.

 

Which character would you like to see rebooted in Bond 25:-

 

Sheriff Pepper played by Will Ferrell

 

or

 

Jinx played by Jennifer Lawrence

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

No Will Ferrell PLEASE. I'll go for the definite racial outcry from Hollywood of Jennifer Lawrence cast as Jinx.

 

 

After 4 films, your view of Daniel Craig:

 

The best James Bond - injected a much needed sense of realism and continues it even today after nearly 10 years in the role

 

OR

 

A good James Bond, but now the one-trick pony of a tough, gritty, hurting man is wearing thin and he offers nothing really new

 

??

[The Dove]

(Well to my mind) The best..he definitely injected a much needed sense of realism and it still holds fresh after 10 years.

 

While it's most likely that Sam Mendes will NOT be back for Bond 25 (yes I know we've heard that tune before..) who you like to see take the helm for the film? 

 

  Martin Campbell (back for a 3rd film), Christopher Nolan, OR....Quentin Tarantino ( )??

[DaveBond21]

Campbell

 

Preferred sequence in TLD:_

 

Bond, Kara and Saunders in Vienna

 

or

 

Bond and Pushkin in Tangiers

 

??
