The Bond films of the 1960's and 1970's...but hey, we wouldn't be Bond fans if we didn't embrace ALL the films would we? LOL..

Which is more likely upon it's release: Skyfall beating out Twilight at the box office or Twilight beating out Skyfall?? (I would HOPE it's the former! )

[thecasinoroyale]

I have a feeling it will be Bond's year...'Skyfall' should knock out 'Twilight'...I hope too..!!

What cheesy but cool 50th Anniversary nod would you like to see in 'Skyfall'...


'M' talking to Bond about her, and MI6's past, and she shows passport photos of the previous 5 Bond actors which hints at the fact James Bond is a cover name, as she talks about the men before Bond who have helped defend the country.

OR

In a subtle move where you have to watch the film two or three times to pick up, each James Bond film is mentioned in conversation during 'Skyfall' but in a very clever way, an Easter Egg hunt for fans.

Definitely this option. Just because I'd like to see them try and use 'Octopussy' inconspicuously..


Which would you rather see Bond drive in the future:


Bond drives a Jaguar

Or

Bond drives a Bentley

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond drives a Jaguar...which I hope will be seen in 'Skyfall'!



A secret from James Bond's past comes out in 'Skyfall'...is it...


He has a brother living in England

OR

His mother is still alive living in Asia

??

[The Dove]

He has a brother living in England...

The title song for Skyfall...should it be titled "Skyfall" and feature the name in the lyrics OR be titled something else, such as "Another Way To Die" ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'd actually like them to use the title, 'Skyfall', in the song. Craig deserves his theme tune to link to the film now, he's had 2 songs without it.


What word makes you think most about James Bond when you hear it...


GADGET

or

SPY

??

[The Dove]

SPY....Particulary now that we are well into the Craig era...had you asked me this during the Roger Moore era, I probably would have gone with GADGET.

The Skyfall soundtrack...will you: buy it BEFORE going to see the film OR after seeing the film? (I've done a bit of both myself..think I bought the Die Another Day soundtrack before seeing the film...it's aways fun to listen to the score and trying to visualize in your head how it's gonna fit in with the movie..)

[PrinceKamalKhan]

If I buy it, it will be after seeing the film.

The women of Thunderball

or

the women of Licence to Kill?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh...at a pinch I go for 'Licence To Kill' women. The 60s bevvy of beauties is tempting BUT Lowell and Soto in 'LTK' to vamp it up rather...nice.



Where does Bond look coolest when surveying a suspect...

In the shadows ('GoldenEye'/'Casino Royale'/'Skyfall' etc)

OR

Behind a wall or object ('The Spy Who Loved Me'/'The Living Daylights'/'Quantum Of Solace' etc)

??

[The Dove]

In the shadows...I REALLY love the new pics of him spying on Severine in the Shanghai hotel room..

Which 50th anniversary trinket would you like to see be made available for fan : James Bond trading cards which feature pics of characters from all 23 films OR Special Edition James Bond playing cards with back designs specific to each Bond actor era?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Which 50th anniversary trinket would you like to see be made available for fan : James Bond trading cards which feature pics of characters from all 23 films

The women of Tomorrow Never Dies

or

the women of A View to a Kill?

[thecasinoroyale]

The women of...hmm...tough one..I go for 'Tomorrow Never Dies.'


Future Bond film plot for Daniel Craig:


James Bond has to save the world, literally, from a nuclear weapons launch against major cities across the globe

OR

James Bond has to find a hidden mole within MI6 as current missions abroad are not going right, and agents are being picked off.

??

[The Dove]

The latter scenario...the former has kind of been done to death in previous Bond films..

Quantum returns in a future Bond film..do we finally find out that the head is: Mr. White OR a revamped version of Ernst Stavro Blofeld?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be a revamped version of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Mr.White, for the head of an organisation like Quantum, appears a bit useless so it would be a bit of a let down if he were pulling the strings!


What do you like best about James Bond films:

The gadgets

OR

The music

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

I'll say the gadgets since not every film was scored by the late John Barry, RIP.

The flotilla chase in the Adriatic Sea in From Russia With Love

or

The flotilla chase in the Amazon jungle river in Moonraker?

[The Dove]

The flotilla chase in the Adriatic Sea in From Russia With Love

Better way Largo's boat was named in TB/NSNA: The Flying Saucer in NSNA OR (ok basically the same name in Italian) the Disco Volante in Thunderball??

[glidrose]

Disco Volante, no question.

Chop 40 minutes out of OHMSS or have Bond accidentally kill Tracy?

Edited by glidrose, 19 April 2012 - 08:54 PM.

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Chop 40 minutes out of OHMSS, but only from the 1st half. I absolutely love OHMSS from the scene where "Sir Hilary Bray" dons his kilt and meets the lovely "angels of death" until its final tragic ending.

The women of Moonraker

or

the women of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service?

[The Dove]

The women of On Her Majesty's Secret Service..

Which Lisbeth Salander actress would be more suited to be a Bond girl: Noomi Rapace (the original) OR Rooney Mara (the new one)?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm good question. I think for Daniel Craig's era as Bond... possibly Rooney Mara. She could be a very good villainess or a very fragile ally.


In light of the recent 007: Legends game announced, which setting from a film would you like to play in the game:


The attack on the Liparus from 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - Stealth must be used in get onboard Liparus, then fight to destroy the control center, stop the warheads from launching and escape the ship in time to pursue Stromberg!

OR

The drug facility destruction and tanker chase from 'Licence To Kill' - Destroy the drug facility and escape in time, then pursue the tanker trucks, battle on roof tops and across the terrain, comandeer a truck and protect Pam's plane as she helps you stop Sanchez's tanker for the final time!

??

??

[The Dove]

Oh I'd much prefer the Licence To Kill scenario!

A thought for a funny scene in a future Bond..which would you like? : Bond orders a Vodka martini but the barman has to inform him that they had just run out of Russian vodka OR Bond's Aston Martin breaks down during a car chase?

[Trevelyan 006]

Bond's Aston Martin breaks down during a car chase?

This, followed up with a "This never happened to the other fellas!"
Would you rather see an exact novel-to-film adaptation of:


Live and Let Die

Or

Diamonds Are Forever

?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

DAF

Licence to Kill by the Prague Philharmonic:




or

GoldenEye by the Prague Philharmonic:

?

[thecasinoroyale]

'GoldenEye'....a bit more oomph!


Daniel Craig, as James Bond, is taken on with EON to advertise a new sponsor in a wonderfully cheesy and tacky TV campaign...is it...

Pepsi - tacky 'Shaken, not stirred' references

or

Wagon Wheels - involving cheesy Aston Martin footage

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

The Wagon Wheels/Aston Martin one.

Better final battle:

The Union Corse's helicopter attack on Piz Gloria in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

or

Willard Whyte and company's helicopter attack on the oil rig in Diamonds Are Forever?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hm...deffo the The Union Corse's helicopter attack on Piz Gloria in 'OHMSS'...and have to say topped off with Lazenby tummy sliding down that ice! Classic Bond!


Coldest Bond kill -

Driving out and leaving a wounded Dominic Greene in the desert with nothing but motor oil and endless nothing in all directions in 'Quantum Of Solace'...

OR

Stunning Dr.Kauffman onto his knees, and putting a bullet into his head after he pleads for mercy in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'...

??

[The Dove]

Stunning Dr. Kauffman onto his knees, and putting a bullet into his head after he pleads for mercy in "Tomorrow Never Dies".

Bond puts on some Beatles tunes in "Skyfall", or a future Bond, (sort of a nice throwback to the 60's when 007 and the Beatles were the hottest things).. Should it be something from: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Or Abbey Road?

[thecasinoroyale]

From what limited music I know of The Beatles, I think it should be Abbey Road - would be a nice retro touch.


What other classic Bond nod would you like to see used in 'Skyfall' -

A document handed to Bond by M with 'FOR YOUR EYES ONLY' taped across it

OR

A briefing room with villains, led by Silva, discussing their plans and objectives

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A briefing room with villains, led by Silva, discussing their plans and objectives

More romantic instrumental theme composed by John Barry:

OP:



or

AVTAK:

?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Wine With Stacey' without a chance...and for your information, this piece of music played live at a 2006 Duran Duran concert was superb. A wonderful piece of music.



Better Bond soundtrack -

'Live And Let Die'

OR

'The Living Daylights'

??
