Definitely the fire engine chase..much more excitement!

 

Best cable car stunt in a Bond film... Bond and Holly vs Jaws in Moonraker, OR Bond hanging on for dear life out in the freezing cold and almost having his fingers crushed as he escapes from the wheel house in OHMSS?

[DaveBond21]

That's a good question and depends on my mood  but I will say Moonraker.

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

Goldeneye or TND?

[thecasinoroyale]

'GoldenEye' - fond memories of the N64 game, and Sean Bean for the win.

 

 

The Daniel Craig is he/isn't he media fiasco:

 

He WILL quit Bond; there's no way back for him now after all his comments and reaction to 'SPECTRE'

 

OR

 

He WON'T quit Bond; he's not going to let anything put him off from a nice earner and another film to tie up his story arc

 

??

[Professor Pi]

I'm gonna go with the latter...he WON'T quit.  But if he does ...

 

 

Hiddleston

 

OR

 

Elba?

[DaveBond21]

Hiddleston

 

The title of Bond 25 (with Hiddleston starring) will be:-

 

Risico

 

or

 

Blofeld

 

?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Risico' - when all else fails, bring back the source material.

 

 

Thinking of two controversial moves for the series, would you rather have, with a newly created "Bond universe"...

 

A black James Bond

 

OR

 

A female 007

 

??

[DaveBond21]

A black Bond for sure.

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

FRWL or YOLT?

[thecasinoroyale]

'FRWL' - keeping it real.

 

 

Who was David Hedison's Felix Leiter better with?

 

Roger Moore in 'Live And Let Die'

 

OR

 

Timothy Dalton in 'Licence To Kill'

 

??

[The Dove]

Timothy Dalton...Roger's Bond never even got to have that lunch with Felix in New York as he was quickly off to San Monique after Kananga after only just a few hours.

 

Better watch gadget in a Bond film...the buzzsaw/magnetic watch in LALD, the laser watch in GE, or the exploding alarm watch in SPECTRE?

[DaveBond21]

The LALD watch for me.

 

Preferred scenario for Bond 25:-

 

Daniel Craig as 007 in the movie BLOFELD

 

or

 

Tom Hiddleston as 007 in the movie RISICO

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Tom Hiddleston as 007 in the movie 'RISICO'.

 

 

Best action sequence in 'Quantum Of Solace'...

 

 

Haiti bike/boat chase

 

OR

 

Bolivian DC-10 dog-fight

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

Have to go with the bike/boat chase, as there was no DC10 in the latter sequence (I know, nit-pick, nit-pick!).

 

Better title change:

 

From a View to a Kill => AVTAK

or

Licence Revoked => LTK

?

[DaveBond21]

AVTAK

 

Preferred scene in TLD:-

 

 - Czechoslovakia car chase, cello skiing chase

 

or

 

- Fight on the back of the plane in Afghanistan

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be the cargo net/hold fight in 'TLD'. Brutal stuff!

 

 

As James Bond, from 1962-2002 was supposed to be the "same man" and just changed with the times of the era he was in, can you accept that the events of 'Dr.No' happened a few years before the events in 'Die Another Day', in Bond's timeline:

 

YES - Brosnan IS Connery's Bond, and experienced everything even during the Moore and Dalton era.

 

OR

 

NO - They are the "same" but not, and each actor is a "new" 007 for me and not linked to the past actor or even timeline

 

??

[The Dove]

NO- they are the same, but not the same for me (with the small exception of Bond visiting Tracy's grave in FYEO)

 

Who was the more useless henchman... Elvis from Quantum of Solace, Mr. Kil in Die Another Day, Sandor in TSWLM OR Apostis in FYEO??

[thecasinoroyale]

Elvis. Totally forgettable and didn't do ANYTHING to harm or threaten Bond in any way.

 

 

Which "Blofeld" version do you like better:

 

Donald Pleasence and his bald, cat-stroking evil genius

 

OR

 

Christoph Waltz and his half-brother, personal vendetta evil genius

 

??

[DaveBond21]

Tricky one, but it's still Pleasance......for now!

 

Preferred scenario for Bond 25:-

 

It's called Death to Spies and comes out in 2017, starring Tom Hiddleston

 

or

 

It's called Garden of Death and comes out in 2018 starring Daniel Craig

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Got to be 'Death To Spies' in 2017 with TH. Sorry, Dan.


Let's add fuel to the media speculation - who, knowing what you do of them via TV/film and Google, would you like as Bond 7 -

Tom Hiddleston

or

Jamie Bell

??

[The Dove]

Tom Hiddleston for me!

 

Not to start any more pointless rumors or anything but...Which rumored actor who failed to get the part of 007 when Daniel Craig was chosen, do you want to see their name thrown back into the mix?  Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman, or Henry Cavill ??

[DaveBond21]

Tom Hiddleston for me!

 

Not to start any more pointless rumors or anything but...Which rumored actor who failed to get the part of 007 when Daniel Craig was chosen, do you want to see their name thrown back into the mix?  Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman, or Henry Cavill ??

 

Cavill due to age. I wanted Owen for Bond 21 but he's too old now (51).

 

Preferred scene in Skyfall:-

 

Casino fight with Komodo dragons

 

or

 

Chasing Silva on the London Underground

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I like the Underground chase - closer to home than the Komodo dragons!

 

 

Do you want London to be a co-star in 'Bond 25' -

 

YES - 'Skyfall' and 'SPECTRE' used the city well for all key sequences and it's good to bring the action right back to Bond's safety zone

 

OR

 

NO - London has been over-used already in action sequences and is getting very limited to what it can offer. Keep it minimal and don't make all the action so far-fetched being there

 

??

[DaveBond21]

No, London has been over-used, although I can understand them using the location as the authorities are the easiest to deal with.

 

Preferred main location for Bond 25:-

 

Jamaica

 

or

 

Japan

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

Japan - so much more to see since YOLT.

 

(Although it would be a hoot for Bond to turn up at Goldeneye and a have a guide tell him "this property once belonged to a best-selling novelist..."

 

"Yes, I know the story.")

 

If Jamaica reappeared, would you prefer the above scenario, or no reference to Goldeneye at all?

[thecasinoroyale]

....why the hell not. Fleming needs a nod in the series I think, and it worked so well with Hildebrand in 'SP'.

 

 

Speaking of 'SPECTRE' - which "gag" was most Roger Moore-esque:

 

Falling on the sofa, and taking a moment to compose yourself in the heat of a chase

 

or

 

Frank Sinatra playing in the Aston Martin during a tense chase

 

??

[DaveBond21]

I think they were more Brosnan-era jokes but I will go with the sofa. By the way, it wasn't Sinatra, it was Ray Quinn's version of New York, New York.

 

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Undertow

 

or

 

Never Say Die

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Ray Quinn? Jesus, as if the film couldn't stoop any lower!

Anywho- I choose Undertow.


Which original / cover piece of music used in a Bond film worked the best:

'London Calling' during 'Die Another Day'

OR

'California Girls' during 'A View To A Kill'

??

[DaveBond21]

London Calling - it sounded great loud at the cinema!. By the way, on Ray Quinn, remember that it was meant to be a joke about 009's poor taste in music.

 

 

Preferred Bond girl:-

 

Strawberry Fields

 

or

 

Severine

 

??

[sharpshooter]

Strawberry Fields

 

Thomas Newman's Skyfall 

 

or 

 

Thomas Newman's SPECTRE?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ohhhhhh I never knew that about 009. Certainly has got poor taste!

 

Newman's 'Skyfall' without a doubt. And half of it was used in 'SPECTRE' so either film could count.

 

 

Best Pierce Brosnan-escapes-death-as-007 moment:

 

Escaping the TIGER missile strike by using his head in 'GoldenEye'

 

OR

 

Having one last screw with Elektra and then interrupted by Valentin in 'TWINE'

 

??

[The Dove]

Definitely the escape from the TIGER helicopter in Goldeneye...

 

Bond on a motorcycle...which sequence was more exciting... 007 being handcuffed to Wai Lin while driving the bike during the chase scene in Tomorrow Never Dies, Bond chasing after Patrice along the Turkish rooftops in Skyfall, OR Bond on the bike chasing after the plane after he's escaped the nerve gas facility in Goldeneye?
