I like the stunt work and "danger" in the Renault Taxi 'AVTAK' chase.

 

 

'Writing's On The Wall' won the Oscar for Best Song...

 

Like it or not, it's totally original for the movie and works wonders with a great production team behind it

 

OR

 

Simply the best of a mediocre bunch and fuelled by the singer, not the quality of the song

 

??

[The Dove]

The former..totally original for the movie and works wonders with the great production team.

 

 

How soon do you expect an announcement to be made on which studio has won the distribution rights to Bond? Very soon now, or NO, it'll still be a while??

[DaveBond21]

Sadly I think it will drag out

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Death Awaits

 

or

 

The Secret Door

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Death Awaits

 

Better Bond rescues the damsel in distress and battles the bad guys final action scene:

Prince Kamal Khan kidnaps Octopussy Smythe and takes her in his plane with Gobinda. Bond follows on horseback, grabs onto the plane and battles Gobinda midair in OP

 

or

 

Max Zorin kidnaps Stacey Sutton and takes her in his zeppelin with Scarpine and Dr. Mortner. Bond grabs onto the zepplin's rope and battles Zorin at the Golden Gate Bridge in AVTAK?

 

[DaveBond21]

Octopussy all the way - one of the best finales to a 007 movie!

 

 

Preferred scene to be in Bond 25:-

 

007 and M spend some time in Tokyo (as referenced in FRWL)

 

or

 

We see Bond on a mission in Berngarten (some of which we see in TSWLM)

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I'd like to see M and Bond in Tokyo - nothing TOO action based of course, but let them actually have a relationship akin to Lee and Conner, or even Moore, where you feel they actually DO get on and don't want to kill each other half the time.

 

 

The Aston Martin DB10 in 'SPECTRE':

 

A wasted gadget and car that felt shoe-horned in to serve a car chase and a few gadget-happy gags

 

OR

 

A wonderful and modern return for the car with a great showcase of what it can do

 

??

[The Dove]

Certainly a great showcase for the DB10 in my opinion. Thank god it wasn't as big of a waste as the BMW Z3 in Goldeneye where we never, ever got to see the stinger missiles in action, or the BMW in TWINE where it gets sawed in half..

 

 

IF a new James Bond is to be cast for Bond 25, should the characters of Q, Moneypenny and M also be recast? YES, lets freshen up the whole MI6 staff a bit.

 

OR

 

NO, keep them! Whishaw, Harris and Fiennes have a great chemistry together and it wouldn't be the first time to have a new 007 but the same MI6 brigade?

[DaveBond21]

Keep the same cast - they work well together.

 

 

Preferred PTS:

 

FRWL

 

or

 

YOLT

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

The PTS from FRWL. The Grant stalks the counterfeit Bond in the dark garden scene is classic and suspenseful.

 

Octopussy all the way - one of the best finales to a 007 movie!

 

Agreed.

 

Better secondary villain of the Craig era:

Mr. White in Casino Royale

 

or

 

C in SPECTRE ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I did like C and his potential. Used well but should have been kept around for a future encounter.

 

 

Best returning actor from 'YOLT' and 'DAF' -

 

Shane Rimmer

 

OR

 

Charles Grey

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Charles Gray

 

In YOLT, when Henderson tells Bond that he gets "certain other things" from the doorman at the Russian embassy is he talking about:-

 

Sexual favours

 

or

 

Drugs

 

or

 

Both

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

I was thinking information, but given the choices you offer, I'll say a little ladyboy action (although no spy would even allude to such a thing in the 60s).

 

Was Joe Don Baker better as

 

Brad Whittaker

or

Jack Wade

?

[DaveBond21]

I was thinking information, but given the choices you offer, I'll say a little ladyboy action (although no spy would even allude to such a thing in the 60s).

 

Was Joe Don Baker better as

 

Brad Whittaker

or

Jack Wade

?

 

Oh come on! It's an obvious gay reference! Typically British at the time (it was a movie remember not a real spy documentary) and typical Roald Dahl too.

 

I will go for Whittaker, but both are dreadful.

 

Preferred scene in OHMSS:-

 

Tracy saves Bond at the ice rink

 

or

 

Bond and Blofeld bobsled finale

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

The ice-rink. The final bobsleigh chase is just god-awful.


In 'SPECTRE', which 007 moment is best:

Landing with little effort and a spring in his step after the DB10 ejector seat

OR

Riding off into London kitted out in the DB5 once mor

??

[The Dove]

Oh definitely riding off into London in the DB5 and the Bond theme playing!!

 

Imagine a Doctor Who-like, Two Doctors, Three Doctors or Five Doctors episode for a Bond film..which would you like to see? Two Bonds - Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig, Three Bonds - Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery, OR Five Bonds - Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Craig and Brosnan??

[AMC Hornet]

Two: Craig as Bond and Dalton as the villain.

 

An old girlfriend returns:

 

Pam Boivier

Christmas Jones

or

Jinx Johnson

?

[DaveBond21]

Pam.

 

Preferred scene in TWINE:-

 

Bilbao bungee jump at the start of the PTS

 

or

 

Questioning Zukovsky while he flounders in his own caviar

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Bilbao bungee jump at the start of the PTS.

Which scenario would you rather happen in Bond 25:

Madeleine Swann returns and is killed by Blofeld(like Tracy Bond in OHMSS)

 

or

 

Lucia Sciarra returns and is revealed to be a SPECTRE villainess(like Fiona Volpe in TB)?

[thecasinoroyale]

100% Lucia returns - I still see that happening somehow. She's the only figure from 'SPECTRE' alive with links to Blofeld that we and Bond are familiar with.

 

 

With regards to James Bond merchandise, do you:

 

Want more - like Marvel/DC and even Star Wars: collectable figures, POP figures, models, games etc..the lot! Give it to us.

 

OR

 

Want none - it's a "mature film-goers" club with little merchandise that doesn't need it except the high end, expensive collectables

 

??

[DaveBond21]

I will say want more - not for me, but for by CBn friends who are into collecting stuff

 

Babs and Michael G Wilson ask you to star in Bond 25 but you only have two choices of character, both of which end up being hated on this website:-

 

Dr Monkey - part human, part ape sidekick to Christoph Waltz's Blofeld

 

or

 

Felix Heavier - Felix Leiter's portly big brother

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha! I'd love to be a Bond villain....and I guess this will be an infamous role for me to have and then go into hiding after.


In all seriousness, do you think anyone associated with EON has looked at this website?

YES - Fan feedback is important to see views and opinions; anyone can log on, why not the Broccoli family, or even an actor?

OR

NO - Fan forums are just that - for fans, and hold no sway over big-wig movie execs and studios

??

[The Dove]

YES, I wouldn't doubt that there are members on here who have connections, or even connections to connections with someone at EON that may check in here once in a while..

 

This Tom Hiddleston gossip about him being willing to be the next James Bond...are you more, YES, he'd do alright, NO, too ugly and doesn't look the part (oh wait we went through that before with Daniel Craig), OR  Tom WHO???

[DaveBond21]

Yes, he would do alright.

 

What would you rather for Bond 25:-

 

A hilarious romp with lots of sexual innuendo and crazy car chases and a goofy sidekick to Bond called "Cheese"

 

or

 

A dark thriller about M, Q and Moneypenny but no 007

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be a dark thriller - the "spin-off", if you will.

 

 

Has the magic fizzled out for Daniel Craig now as 007?

 

Yes - he's hit his peak and now on the decline, maybe having worn his "gritty" persona out too much

 

OR

 

No - he always brings a danger and contemporary malice to his 007 outings and gives something new each time

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

No.

 

Which 1970s John Barry-scored, outer spaced themed Bond film with an American lead Bond girl featured the more impressive production design from Sir Ken Adam(R.I.P.):

Diamonds Are Forever 

 

or

 

Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Moonraker' for me.

 

 

In memory of Ken Adam, which of his "evil villain" lairs was the best overall:

 

Blofeld's Japanese hollowed out volcano

 

OR

 

Stromberg's Liparus tanker

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Blofeld's Japanese hollowed volcano(my favorite Bond set of them all).

 

Better Bond actor first name/last name mixup switch:

Sean Dalton

 

or

 

Timothy Connery?

[thecasinoroyale]

Sean Dalton sounds as tough as both the actors!

 

 

 

If you have re-visited 'SPECTRE' again after the cinema, how do you feel now:

 

Just as good as the initial release and hasn't changed at all, any aspect of it

 

OR

 

My views have changed, for worse or better, but it's certainly a mixed opinion

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Just as good as ever.

 

When they do re-cast 007 would you rather the actor's first movie was:-

 

- a fun, light-hearted  outlandish adventure like TSWLM

 

or

 

- an even darker version of QOS

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A fun, light-hearted outlandish adventure like TSWLM(definitely do NOT want another QOS).

 

Better 1980s 2ndary Bond girl:

Magda(OP)

 

or

 

Pola Ivanova(AVTAK)?
