Both good, but something about Bond, Kara and Saunders sizzles for me with underlying tension.

 

 

 

Best sequence in 'Licence To Kill'

 

The pre-title jeep/helicopter chase

 

OR

 

The water-ski/plane chase

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

The water-ski/plane chase. It's fun seeing Dalton's Bond go into TB-mode.

 

 

Better 1980s Bond henchman/Bond girl mixup:

Gobinda(OP) meets Kara Milovy(TLD)

 

or

 

Necros(TLD) meets Magda(OP)?

[DaveBond21]

Gobinda and Kara

 

 

Preferred scene in Skyfall:-

 

Bond meets Severine in the casino

 

or

 

Bond finds Kincade in the house

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond and Severine; the whole sequence oozes glamour and looks really beautiful. And so does Severine. 

 

 

Which moment is the best "Bond is a bastard" for Roger Moore...

 

Bond pushes the street urchin over the side of the boat in 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

 

OR

 

Bond reveals the fixed deck of "Lover" cards in 'Live And Let Die'

 

??

[DaveBond21]

The cards in LALD

 

Preferred villain:-

 

Stromberg

 

or

 

Drax

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Drax.

 

Better Bond rescuing a damsel-in-distress scene:

Bond rescuing Wai Lin from drowning in the sea at Carver's stealth ship in Tomorrow Never Dies

 

or

 

Bond rescuing Madeline from the deathtrap Oberhauser a.k.a. Blofeld set for her at MI6's about to be demolished HQ in SPECTRE?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think Bond and Wai-Lin, there feels more urgency about it and it's shot very well. Bond and Swann is a little...meh.


Which moment is the best "Bond is a bastard" for Sean Connery...

Slapping around various women over the course of his adventures

OR

Forcing himself on Pussy Galore

??

[DaveBond21]

Forcing himself on Pussy.

 

Preferred car chase:-

 

TLD in the snow

 

or

 

DAD on the ice

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

I have to go with DAD because, for once, Bond didn't have an unfair advantage.

 

I'd long wanted to see what a chase would look like if Bond were outgunned for a change. The DAD chase split the difference.

 

Bigger bitch:

 

Paris Carver

or

?

 

(Or, to put it another way, would Mrs. Carver have been a better character if she'd been played by Talisa Soto?)

[DaveBond21]

Carver. By the way, do you count Goldfinger as Bond losing a car chase?

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

TWINE

 

or

 

LALD

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Sheer Brosnan, but so well executed - has to be 'TWINE'.

 

 

Best introduction to a Bond in a debut:

 

007 in bed with a beautiful woman, hiding her from his superiors and then using a gadget to undress her

 

OR

 

Infiltrating a top-secret facility with a daring stunt, hiding in shadows, then taking down a guard with a wry quip

 

??

[DaveBond21]

The latter

 

Preferred scene in SPECTRE:-

 

Bond meeting Denbigh

 

or

 

Q lies to M about Bond's location

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond meeting Denbigh is a pretty good, sly humour.

 

 

Best intro for a 007 debut:

 

Introducing yourself in a smoky casino to a beautiful lady, winning a good amount of the game

 

OR

 

Hiding in the shadows, letting your target know his time is up before assassinating him

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Introducing yourself in a smoky casino to a beautiful lady, winning a good amount of the game.

 

Better Roger Moore/Maud Adams chemistry:

 

As Bond and Andrea Anders in TMWTGG

 

or

 

As Bond and Octopussy Smythe in OP?

[DaveBond21]

Octopussy

 

Preferred sequence:-

 

Bond in Rio in Moonraker

 

or

 

Bond in Hamburg in TND

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I do like the Hamburg sequence in 'TND'.

 

 

Best intro for a 007 debut:

 

Chasing down and spying on a mysterious lady before saving her life

 

OR

 

Rooting out a rogue agent killing off your allies in a cat-and-mouse chase

 

??

[The Dove]

I'll go with the former, OHMSS-scenario..

 

Mix-up Blofelds... Christoph Waltz's Blofeld with George Lazenby's 007 in OHMSS, Telly Savalas' Blofeld with Sean Connery in YOLT, OR Donald Pleasence's Blofeld with Daniel Craig's 007 in SPECTRE?

[AMC Hornet]

Savalas and Connery in YOLT makes the best combo.

 

Which would make the better mini-marathon:

 

Each actor's first film (DN, OHMSS, LALD, TLD, GE & CR)

or

second (FRWL, TMWTGG, LTK, TND & QoS)

or

third (GF, TSWLM, TWINE & SF)

or

fourth (TB, MR, DAD & SP)

?

[DaveBond21]

That's a tough one, I will go for the 2nd movie marathon

 

Preferred scene:-

 

Bond's trip from the airport to Kerim Bey's place in Istanbul in FRWL

 

or

 

Bond's trip via seaplane and car to the Ocean Club in CR

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond's trip to the Ocean Club. Very smoothly executed.

 

 

Which helicopter take out was best?

 

Flare into the cockpit and crash into a cliff in 'A View To A Kill'

 

OR

 

Rotor trapped in clothes wire and crashing into a building in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

 

??

[The Dove]

The iceberg copter crash in A View To A Kill.. (For the TND one, at the last seconds before impact, you can obviously spot the crash test dummies and their arms of the henchmen inside the cockpit)

 

Best type of scene in a Bond film to enjoy a vesper martin while you are watch... a romantic, love scene, an high paced action scene, OR a dramatic casino or gambling scene ??

[AMC Hornet]

Casino/gambling scene.

 

Say what you will about NSNA, Bond's entrance into the Monte Carlo casino was drenched in atmosphere (until they reveal a video arcade on the premises).

 

More believable plot:

 

The richest man in the galaxy builds a fleet of space shuttles in secrecy and launches them from five secret bases to rendezvous at a 200m space station built in secrecy and which can't be seen from earth, from which he'll exterminate humanity - thwarted by a man in a boat equipped with torpedoes, mines and a hang glider

or

A North Korean colonel trades surplus weapons for conflict diamonds and undergoes gene therapy in order to pass as a European so he can put a solar laser in orbit which he'll use to eliminate the no-man's land between north and south - thwarted by a man in a car equipped with adaptive camouflage

?

[DaveBond21]

Ha ha, excellent descriptions!! I will say DAD was more believable!

 

Preferred scenario for Bond 25:-

 

It's called Risico and is set in Monte Carlo and Athens. Blofeld features throughout

 

or

 

It's called Shatterhand and is set in Japan and South Korea. Blofeld only appears in the final two scenes

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Risico in Monte Carlo and Athens with Blofeld featured throughout sounds good.

 

Better villain:

Charles Gray's Blofeld in DAF

 

or

 

Curt Jurgens' Karl Stromberg(Blofeld in an earlier script draft) in TSWLM?

[thecasinoroyale]

Both good I think, but I'll go with Stromberg for his classic "world obliteration" plot.

 

 

With all the media speculation, do you think Craig is over with 007?

 

YES - It was clear from the 'SPECTRE' press junket he wasn't totally committed, and this makes sense that he's done

 

OR

 

NO - It's all just that; speculation, with little backbone or foundations to it. He'll return for one more at least.

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

He'll be dragged back for another forty million performance.

 

Jonathan Pryce as Max Zorin

or

Christopher Walken as Elliot Carver

?

[DaveBond21]

Walken as Carver

 

Bond 25 to be:-

 

A taut thriller, with few stunts or explosions, and a low key threat

 

or

 

A big, brash countdown-to-World War III scenario with a huge villain lair and 100 commandos storming it

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

More armed bastards!

 

It's been too long. Bond should have picked up a squad of SAS paras on his way from London to Glencoe - then he could have won in SF.

 

Anthony Hopkins as Alec Trevelyan

or

Anthony Hopkins as Elliot Carver

?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Hopkins as Alec Trevelyan(especially if Dalton plays Bond in GE as originally envisioned in this scenario).

 

Better Bond girl actress/role switch:

Tanya Roberts as Della Churchill Leiter

 

or

 

Priscilla Barnes as Stacey Sutton?

[DaveBond21]

Priscilla Barnes as Stacey - I'd like to see how that would have worked out.

 

Which scene do you prefer:-

 

Citroen 2cv car chase in FYEO

 

or

 

Renault taxi car chase in AVTAK

 

??
