Definitely Sir John Barry's last Bond score: The Living Daylights

'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.

I'm sure it was.

The women of The Man with the Golden Gun

or

the women of Octopussy?

[The Dove]

The women of Octopussy..

M (Judi Dench)'s relationship with which Bond do you prefer: Pierce Brosnan OR Daniel Craig?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh, tough one! I have to say...arrgh they're close, but taking out the heavy use of 'M' in the field and Bond saving her (from what we've seen as yet, anyway) in 'TWINE', I go for Daniel Craig. Setting the roots of a relationship in 'CR' and testing them through to redemption in 'QOS', a nice arc which should be left now and focus on simple boss-employee-friend relationship, nothing too much more dramatic than that...but I've not seen 'Skyfall' yet so who knows!


During 'Skyfall', in the London scenes, a recogniable former theme heard, as Bond is stalking through the underground, passing by a busker playing the guitar brielfy (a'la the 'Goldfinger' whistle in 'OHMSS'). Is it...

'A View To A Kill'

OR

'From Russia With Love'

??

[The Dove]

Hah! Good one yourself, casino...hmm I'd say "A View To A Kill"..

The gunbarrel for Skyfall...should it: Just have the white dot moving across the screen and focusing on Bond as he walks as in the majority of the films OR should it do what was done for Dr. No and OHMSS, in terms of the dot stopping and ".....presents" showing before Bond enters?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I'd go for the dot stopping and ".....presents" showing before Bond walks on. That's a nice nod to the older generation, and we know the Craig films like to mix it up a bit...so let's have this just for fun for us fans!


Are the best Bond publicity shots..


The black and white ones

OR

Full colour

??

[The Dove]

Ooh.. based on the recent Empire magazine cover, I'll take Full Color...(or Colour, which ever you prefer, LOL)

Bond, speaking a foreign language...do you hope we see Craig speaking some: Chinese OR Turkish in "Skyfall" ?

[thecasinoroyale]

(I don't know why I put Full Colour actually...!)


Hmm...I think Craig would make his Bond sound so cool speaking Chinese, that would be ace.


Chocolate product placement in 'Skyfall'...

Bond gives Eve a popular box of chocolates for all her help in their latest assignment...

OR

Bond is seen eating a popular chocolate bar in the London Underground waiting for a target to appear...

??

Better veteran of the Dalton era:

Robert Brown's M

or

Caroline Bliss' Miss Moneypenny?

[The Dove]

Robert Brown's M...

Who was the more annoying American agent: Damien Falco in Die Another Day OR Gregory Beam in Quantum of Solace?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Gregory Beam in Quantum of Solace. I actually kinda liked Falco and the way he lit up a cigarette after Icarus' laser stopped.

Double feature:

You Only Live Twice/The Man with the Golden Gun

or

Thunderball/Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I go for 'You Only Live Twice' / 'The Man With The Golden Gun'


Best Villain from the Timothy Dalton era...


Dario in 'Licence To Kill'

OR

Necros in 'The Living Daylights'

??

[The Dove]

Dario in "Licence To Kill"...he had perhaps the best death for any Bond henchman since Odd Job blew a fuse in Goldfinger.

Better Michael G. Wilson cameo: As Tom Wallace in "Tomorrow Never Dies" OR General Chandler in "Die Another Day" ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Tom Wallace in "Tomorrow Never Dies", I actually liked his character in the limited screen time, could have watched more of Wallace causing havoc in the media!


On that note, where do we think Michael G Wilson will appear in 'Skyfall'?


As a commuter on the London Underground Tube as Bond tracks Silva...

OR

As a patron in the Floating Dragon casino either gambling or drinking...?

??

[The Dove]

Two very possible choices, thecasinoroyale...hmm... I'd say we most likely would spot him as a commuter on the London Underground..

Bond video game title sequences...which did you like best: Everything Or Nothing OR Bloodstone ? (my favorite of the two, but I hated the song..)

[thecasinoroyale]

Bloodstone''... 'EON' just doesn't click for me.

In your heart of hearts, if it had to have one meaning, what do you want the 'Skyfall' word to relate to in the film...

An operation used for a previous MI6 assisgnment

OR

The sole name of a Lodge, hiding Bond's secret famly past

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

An operation used for a previous MI6 assisgnment

Better contender for the role of James Bond in Dr. No:

Richard Johnson who later played Bulldog Drummond in Deadlier Than The Male:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_HG-LMVZ-4



or

Patrick McGoohan who played John Drake in the Secret Agent TV series:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NPDrf1yDms ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Richard Johnson. I think he could pull it off more than McGoohan.

If Daniel Craig never had taken on the part of James Bond back for 'Casino Royale' in 2006, would the Bond franchise...


Died a slow death and never picked up to what it could have been, if 'Casino Royale' was the next film still but another actor...

OR

Continued strong leading us to where we are today in 2012...

??

[The Dove]

Most likely "Died a slow death and never picked up to what it could have been, if "Casino Royale" was the next film but with another actor.."

Bond alternative scenarios: Roger Moore is cast in "Dr. No" and then Sean Connery takes over in " Live And Let Die" OR Pierce Brosnan gets the role in "The Living Daylights" and Timothy Dalton takes over in "Goldeneye" ??

[thecasinoroyale]

Pierce Brosnan gets the role in "The Living Daylights" and Timothy Dalton takes over in "Goldeneye". Pierce would run out of steam in time to keep his dignity with those two films, and the next 4 with Timothy Dalton would be totally different.


Most pointless addition of a Brosnan Bond girl...

Jinx in 'Die Another Day'

OR

Christmas Jones in 'The World Is Not Enough'

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Christmas Jones in 'The World Is Not Enough'

Richard Johnson. I think he could pull it off more than McGoohan.

I agree. He looks a little like Connery too.

The women of The Spy Who Loved Me

or

the women of Casino Royale?

[The Dove]

The women of Casino Royale..

The foreign locations you are MOST looking forward to in Skyfall: Istanbul and Turkey OR Shanghai and other locales of China?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Shanghai and other locales of China since the series hasn't been there yet.

The villains of The Living Daylights

or

the villains of Diamonds Are Forever?

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh, the villains of 'The Living Daylights' for sure...some great ones there! At least none of them dress up as a woman!


Most under-rated Bond film...


'Tomorrow Never Dies'

OR

'Moonraker'

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Definitely Moonraker, the most underrated(by fans at least if not general audiences) film in the series IMHO.

The villains of From Russia With Love

or

the villains of For Your Eyes Only?

[The Dove]

Oh by FAR the villains of From Russia With Love.

Secondary Bond film songs: If There Was A Man by The Pretenders OR If You Asked Me To by Patti LaBelle?

[Pussfeller]

"If There Was a Man" has a more Bondian feel.

Better old case:

"very best duck"

or

"my ears will pop" ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Nice one Pussfeller... I go for "My ears will pop." Always wanted to know how Bond got there, looked interesting, with Jaws on the scene too.


In Bond's apartment, after a long day / few days, he sits in his comfy leather chair with a vodka on the rocks and beside him has a black bowl full of something to nibble on as he contemplates his next move, looking out to the London skyline. In the black bowl, it is...


Sweet popcorn

OR

Cheese nibbles

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Cheese nibbles

Would your rather:

Henry Mancini("The Pink Panther") have scored a James Bond film

or

John McTiernan("Die Hard") have directed a James Bond film?

[thecasinoroyale]

Probably would have been a bit much, but John McTiernan("Die Hard") directing a James Bond film would be something to see!


In Bond 24, during the pre-title sequence, Daniel Craig's Bond is on a seperate mission to the main film, a'la 'Octopussy' or 'Goldfinger', and faces up against a power crazed villain. To everyone's suprise, the secret villain is played by...

Jean Claude Van Damme

OR

Bill Paxton

??

[The Dove]

Jean Claude Van Damme...he hasn't done anything relavent in like 15 years so a cameo in a Bond film might be good for getting his career going again..

Let's say Christopher Nolan gets directing duties for Bond 24...which of his former Batman/Inception cast would you like to see brought on board: Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow/ Dr. Crane, Robert Fisher), Tom Hardy (Eames, Bane) OR Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman) ?
