Lieutenant Hip, always thought he was a cool ally, except when he drives away from Bond at the Hai Fat's school...never understood that!



Do you think the James Bond film series...

Will out-live your life time?

OR

Stop before you die?

??

[The Dove]

Hmm..realistically I think at some point it may stop...but hopefully after I'm long gone..hard to say.

For the 50th anniversary, the cooler 007 endorsement: Tom Ford suits and sunglasses OR Omega watches?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ohh tough one!! I love the sunglasses but because I own one and am very, very proud of the Bond connection, I will always stick with Omega. Beautiful.


Best Roger Moore advert...

The 1973 Oglivy ad.

Bond film/cast mixup:

A View to a Kill:

Bond:Timothy Dalton
Zorin: Daniel Craig
Stacy: Teri Hatcher
May Day: Trina Parks

or

Tomorrow Never Dies:

Bond: George Lazenby
Paris: Alison Doody
Carver: Christopher Lee
Wai Lin: Tsai Chin?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be 'A View To A Kill':

Bond:Timothy Dalton
Zorin: Daniel Craig
Stacy: Teri Hatcher
May Day: Trina Parks

Sounds like a dream bit of Bond mash-up!


A Bond spin-off is announced...

James Bond is sent on a mission to Mars with the CIA to investigate a mysterious satellite sending coded threats from the planet about a launch of SPECTREs latest weapon against Earth. The only words that come clear are "007", "GoldenEye" and "Blofeld".

OR

James Bond awakens back in 1942 during of World War 2 after a modern day mission goes wrong and he sustains injury. He has to help the British forces stopping the Nazi threat and securing the country, helping the Secret Service he works for in 2012.

??

[The Dove]

Ooh nice one! I'd have to go with.. "James Bond awakens back in 1942 during of World War 2 after a modern day mission goes wrong and he sustains injury. He has to help the British forces stopping the Nazi threat and securing the country, helping the Secret Service he works for in 2012. " The one where he goes to Mars just seems too outlandish, ala Moonraker or Die Another Day-esque..

In an "It almost happened" reality..who would you have rather seen? : Jack Palance as Francisco Scaramanga in TMWTGG OR John Gavin as James Bond in DAF?

[Eric Stromberg]

Jack Palance as Francisco Scaramanga. I will watch Jack in anything and he would have made for a very dark and capable opponent.

Bond 24 composer. The creative team takes a chance and chooses:

Trent Reznor

or

Daft Punk

Edited by Eric Stromberg, 13 March 2012 - 05:02 PM.

[Messervy]

Daft Punk. Definitely. I even posted this idea a long time ago for Bond 23. I would positively love this to happen.

"I was wrong about you. I thought Christmas only comes once a year"..

Apart from David Hedison and Jeffrey Wright, which other "Felix Leiter" would you have like to reprised the role: Jack Lord OR Rik Van Nutter?

[thecasinoroyale]

Jack Lord...the original!


What plot device should be used in Bond 25..


James Bond discovers he's a father to a 17 year old boy living in Russia. Natalya Simonova is the mother, now dead.

OR

James Bond discovers he has a surviving sister living in the UK somwhere. She is working for MI6 and has been for some years alongside him without him knowing.

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

James Bond discovers he's a father to a 17 year old boy living in Russia. Natalya Simonova is the mother, now dead.

Better script draft character name that was changed in the final shooting script:

Suki instead of Aki in You Only Live Twice

or

Marina Varoskaya instead of Natalya Feodorovna Simonova in GoldenEye ?

[Eric Stromberg]

I'll take
Marina Varoskaya instead of Natalya Feodorovna Simonova in GoldenEye Wicked names both!

Better Skyfall cliffhanger location:

Bond hanging from the Eye, the gray Thames below him

or

Dangling precariously from Big Ben over Parliament

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond hanging from the Eye, the gray Thames below him...sounds like a good action sequence!


Worst revelation in 'Skyfall'...


Bond's father is not dead

OR

Miss.Moneypenny is 'M's daughter

??

[Eric Stromberg]

Oh alright. Pretty awful choices but we're not bringing any dads back. I'll go with

Miss.Moneypenny is 'M's daughter

Better idea for Craig's 007 flat:

Decked out with all the latest bachelor electronics, elegant furniture and kitchenware

or

Nothing but a Japanese style bed and a closet full of suits

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Nothing but a Japanese style bed and a closet full of suits

Tatiana Romanova

Kara Milovy and Fiona Volpe...good and evil at the same time!! yum! LOL..

Better henchman..Kabir Bedi as Gobinda in Octopussy OR Andreas Wisnewski as Necros in The Living Daylights?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Necros(TLD).

Good choice on Kara and Fiona. They are my favorite good and bad Bond girls, respectively.

Captain Benson(TSWLM)

http://screenmusings...7tSWLM_0010.htm ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Captain Benson from 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. Always feel so sorry for him when Freddy tells him in polite terms to keep his nose out when asking about the submarine tracking map Bond produces.


If you could bring back a Bond ally for the Craig era would it be...


Harold Strutter, from 'Live And Let Die'

OR

Sharkey, from 'Licence To Kill'

??

[The Dove]

Sharkey from Licence To Kill.. Definitely can see a good chemistry between him and Daniel Craig..

Bond's flat in Skyfall, which hopefully we'll get to see the interior of,: Classic looking ala Dr. No OR Modern looking?

[thecasinoroyale]

Classic looking a'la 'Dr. No'. Be nice to see a classic Bond interior, rather than another hi-tech pad.


The most classic Bond villain (looks, evilness etc)

Emilio Largo

OR

Jaws

??

[The Dove]

Emilio Largo...somehow I find the one eye patch more menacing than Jaws' metal teeth..especially when Jaws became more of a comic buffoon in Moonraker.

(I'm going back to a point you made earlier, thecasinoroyale, with this next this or that)

The bigger WTF moment: Lt. Hip and his nieces driving away before Bond can get in the car in TMWTGG OR Bond running away like Sir Robin in " Monty Python and The Holy Grail" in GG's ice sled in Die Another Day??

[thecasinoroyale]

Haha! Nice... I have to go for Lt. Hip and his nieces driving away before Bond can get in the car in 'TMWTGG'. I have never understood the logic / reason behind this scene at all! It baffles me everytime!


The better Bond villain death...

Zao being driven into the frozen lake via his Jaguar crashing and then impaled by a huge ice chandelier in 'Die Another Day'

OR

Blofeld's double getting a climbing hook shot into his head thanks to Bond and the wrong pussy in 'Diamonds Are Forever'

??

[glidrose]

Blofeld's double getting a climbing hook shot into his head thanks to Bond and the wrong pussy in 'Diamonds Are Forever'

Bigger disappointment?

No Skyfall novelisation

or

No David Arnold Skyfall score

Edited by glidrose, 18 March 2012 - 08:02 PM.

[thecasinoroyale]

No David Arnold Skyfall score. His exceptional work on 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum Of Solace' gave me upmost excitement for him doing 'Skyfall'. Now yet again we are in unknown territory with Thomas Newman and his first attempt at a Bond film. Christ, I hope it works.


What do you want more from 'Skyfall'...

The gunbarrel opening - redone from 'Quantum Of Solace'

OR

James Bond theme music incorporated in the film

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

The gunbarrel opening - redone from 'Quantum Of Solace'. I detest the QOS gunbarrel. It's too fast and Craig looks like a classless thug in it.

Better name of a character in an earlier script draft:

The Spy Who Loved Me: Stavros instead of Stromberg

or

Tomorrow Never Dies: Harmsway instead of Carver?

[Eric Stromberg]

Definitely Harmsway. Stromberg is perfect, of course.

Bond's timepiece:

Rolex

or

Omega?

[The Dove]

Omega...

Potential new Q gadget in Skyfall:

Bond has a pair of eyeglasses containing a radio transceiver in one of the arms.. OR Bond's credit card is an updated version of the x-ray scanner from Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond's credit card is an updated version of the x-ray scanner from Moonraker. A nice little link to previous films would always be nice!


A character from the Timothy Dalton era is brought back, re-booted for the Daniel Craig era...is it...

General Leonid Pushkin - Still grateful Bond is a good shot after all these years...

OR

Ed Killifer - CIA operative and friend of Felix Leiter but always open to honest corruption...

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A character from the Timothy Dalton era is brought back, re-booted for the Daniel Craig era...is it...

General Leonid Pushkin - Still grateful Bond is a good shot after all these years...

Double feature:

Thunderball/Moonraker

or

You Only Live Twice/For Your Eyes Only?

[thecasinoroyale]

I go for 'Thunderball' / 'Moonraker'.


A character from 'Live And Let Die' is brought back, re-booted for the Daniel Craig era...is it...

Baron Samedi - A voodoo killer known as 'Saturday' for those of you who speaks French, and is the man who can not die...

OR

Whisper - Big, burly, silent but deadly with his air of innocence, and a mean shot with a wing mirror dart launcher...
