[The Dove]

Death to Spies

 

 

What is the first breaking news of Bond 25 that you think we'll get...the announcement of a director, the announcement of a new studio deal for distribution OR confirmation of Daniel Craig returning/ NOT returning to the role of Bond?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Confirmation of Craig returning/NOT returning to the role of Bond.

 

Better premise for a buddy movie:

 

Sean Connery's James Bond teams up on a spy mission with Henry Cavill's Napoleon Solo from The Man From UNCLE movie

 

or

 

Daniel Craig's James Bond teams up on a spy mission with Robert Vaughn's(RIP) Napoleon Solo from The Man From UNCLE TV series?

[DaveBond21]

Craig and Vaughn.

 

Preferred villain name and location for Bond 25:-

 

Shatterhand in Japan

 

or

 

Irma Bunt in Austria

 

??

[The Dove]

Shatterhand in Japan.

 

Which Bond ally would you like to see return as a recasting in the series..Tiger Tanaka or Kerim Bey?

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Tiger Tanaka. I couldn't bear to see another actor portray Kerim Bey. Pedro was great.

 

Which Bond woman would like to be re-cast in the series...Stacey or Christmas? 

[DaveBond21]

Christmas Jones

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

TWINE or SPECTRE

 

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with TWINE's pre-titles..perhaps my most favorite in the whole series.

 

If you were to win an all-expenses paid vacation to one of the two Casino Royale hotels and locales, which one would you prefer more.. Hotel Splendide in Montenegro OR The Ocean Club in the Bahamas?

[DaveBond21]

Bahamas definitely!

 

Preferred scene:-

 

 - cable car fight in Moonraker

 

or

 

 - plane chasing the cars in SPECTRE

 

??

[The Dove]

Definitely the cable car fight in Moonraker.

 

Better use of the *CLANG!!* sound effect in a Roger Moore vs Jaws fight.. Bond trying to punch Jaws in the mouth at the pyramids in The Spy Who Loved Me OR Bond, trying to kick Jaws in the "family jewels" in Moonraker?

[AMC Hornet]

(This begs the question: why did Bond try to punch him in the jaw again in MR?)

[DaveBond21]

Definitely the cable car fight in Moonraker.

 

Better use of the *CLANG!!* sound effect in a Roger Moore vs Jaws fight.. Bond trying to punch Jaws in the mouth at the pyramids in The Spy Who Loved Me OR Bond, trying to kick Jaws in the "family jewels" in Moonraker?

 

The family jewels!

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

Thunderball or OHMSS?

[The Dove]

(This begs the question: why did Bond try to punch him in the jaw again in MR?)

Perhaps the short term memory was starting to go for Bond between 1977 and 1979?? LOL

 

Anyways to continue with Dave's choices..I'd say I'd go with the OHMSS pre-titles..

 

Favorite gun-barrel fade-out and in transition at the beginning of a movie...Thunderball, where the iris opens on the "JB" initials on the coffin, TMWTGG where the iris opens on Maude Adams on Scaramanga's private beach, OR something else?

[DaveBond21]

Something else, eg Goldeneye's opening shot

 

Preferred scene in AVTAK:-

 

 - the Paris car chase

 

or

 

- the horse race battle

 

??

[MajorB]

Paris car chase.

 

Preferred snarky M line in Skyfall:

 

"Run out of drink where you were, did they?"

 

OR

 

"Go on, then, eject me, see if I care."

[DaveBond21]

Oh, I liked the "Run out of drink where you were?" line!

 

Better Bond put-down to Blofeld in SPECTRE:-

 

"I think we're meant to be impressed"

 

or

 

"Too scared to join in?"

 

??

[The Dove]

"Too scared to join in?" (I love that bit of taunting from Mr. Daniel Craig )

 

 Joe Don Baker...was he better as Brad Whittaker in TLD or Jack Wade in GE and TND?

[DaveBond21]

I really don't think the actor suited being in James Bond movies, but I will opt for Wade.

 

Does anyone think his delivery sounds like he is reading an autocue in TLD?

 

Here's mine:-

 

Preferred villain:-

 

Drax

 

or

 

Zorin

 

??

[The Dove]

Max Zorin..I didn't really appreciate or like him much when I first saw AVTAK, but that has changed. I think Christopher Walken was one of the best villains in any Bond film.

 

Best romantic song at the end of a Bond.. If There Was A Man by The Pretenders in TLD, If You Asked Me To - Patti LaBelle in LTK or The Experience of Love - Eric Serra in GE ??

[DaveBond21]

If there was a man - I love that one.

 

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

 

Never Again

 

or

 

Time to Die

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Time to Die(people might confuse it with the 1983 non-official Bond movie).

Would you rather:

 

attend the Junkanoo parade in Nassau with Domino Derval(TB)
 

or

 

attend Carnival in Rio with Manuela(MR)?

[The Dove]

Definitely the Junkanoo...No 7 foot tall henchmen hiding in creepy clown costumes in dark alleys..

 

Would you rather dine on...Stuffed sheep's head (OP), stay in the dump of a hotel that Agent Fields selects for cover in Bolivia (QoS), OR be locked inside the cable car gearhouse at Piz Gloria and have to escape like Bond did (OHMSS)?

[DaveBond21]

I'd like to stay in that "rustic" hotel in Bolivia...

 

Would you rather play M or a villain in a Bond movie?

[AMC Hornet]

(Ask Edward Fox.)

[The Dove]

Definitely the villain..not the main one, but perhaps a henchman!

 

Put yourself in Bond's shoes as he fights one of the baddies.. Would you rather be Roger fighting Max Zorin atop of the Golden Gate Bridge in AVTAK, OR Daniel fighting Mollaka atop of the crane in Casino Royale?

[DaveBond21]

Golden Gate Bridge - better view...........to a kill...!

 

Preferred casino scene:-

 

Goldeneye or Skyfall

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

GE. Enjoyed when Brosnan Bond met Miss Onatopp.

 

Which FYEO/LTK mix-up would you rather see:

 

Dalton Bond teams up with Melina Havelock to battle Sanchez, Dario, Heller, et al, in Greece and the Italian Alps

 

or

 

Moore Bond teams up with Pam Bouvier to battle Kristatos, Locque, Kriegler, et al, in Isthmus and the Florida Keys?

[The Dove]

Ooh the scenario where Dalton's Bond teams up with Melina sounds very intriguing indeed!

 

Villain and Bond girl mix-up:  Goldfinger with Fiona Volpe or Largo with Pussy Galore?

[DaveBond21]

Goldfinger and Fiona would work well.

 

Better henchman:-

 

TeeHee or Stamper?

[Eskyfall]

TeeHee, more entertaining.

 

Better Trump tweet about him outdoing James Bond:

 

Skyfall: Just heard this, MI6 hacked and Bond got himself shot. Who let this happen? Big Problem. I will investigate this.

OR

The Man with the Golden Gun: Senor Lazar? Come on, he's weak. I make the best golden bullets. They're fantastic. Come to me if you want to kill Bond. Bigly.

[DaveBond21]

TMWTGG. Watched it last night.

 

Preferred PTS:-

 

TLD or TND
