Definitely the DBS from "Casino Royale"...the Vanquish, while cool looking, just felt too "fat and bulky" to me...the DBS is more sleek and stream-lined.

We see, from various set reports of Skyfall, that Bond makes his way through the crowds of the London Underground during the chase sequence...imagine he has to make his way through a crowd of rival Football club fans clashing..which would be more challenging for 007: West Ham United vs Millwall OR Liverpool vs Chelsea fans?

[thecasinoroyale]

Liverpool vs Chelsea....haha, good one! I'm not hot on football, but the Reds and Blues would cause quite a bit of under-estimated trouble, even for Bond!



Similar note to The Dove...Bond has to battle his way through a crowd to reach his target he is pursuing in 'Skyfall' during the London chase. Does he come across..


A 34 year celebration concert down 'The Mall' for Duran Duran...and a brief interlude of 'A View To A Kill' is heard...!

OR

Fan-boys mobbing Leicester Square for a major film premier...and brushes past Tom Jones in the process...!

??

[The Dove]

Hah..great one yourself, thecasino.. Hmm.. I'd love to see the Duran Duran scenario, with a cameo appearance by the band themselves..

Crossover musical scores to appear as brief snippets in a Bond film:

John Powell's "Treadstone Assassins" from the Bourne movies:





OR

Hans Zimmer's "Time" from Inception

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh, has to be "Time" from 'Inception' - those sort of scores, especially Hans Zimmer, give me goosebumps and could create such a brilliant sequence in a Bond film.


A James Bond actor gives a 90 minute 'An Evening With..." insight to their career and lifestyle, and their views and stories from the Bond films. You can only attend one on the same night...do you go for...

Sir Roger Moore

OR

Pierce Brosnan

??

[The Dove]

I'd probably go with Roger Moore..

Which do you hope more for to be incuded as a special feature on the Skyfall DVD: All the video blogs that have gone up on 007.com OR the rumored Bond opening the Olympics film featuring Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II ?

[thecasinoroyale]

I would LOVE both, but with the blogs on 007.com, I'll hope for the rumored Bond opening the Olympics film featuring Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II which I really do think is now certain to happen - fingers crossed!!


What action by a Bond actor has left you feeling most dissapointed?

Sean Connery and his rebuke against the Bond series and refusal to participtate in many of the celebrations / interviews.

OR

Pierce Brosnan getting too big for his Bond role to the flood of merchandising and simple shoot-em up Bond films without questioning the producers

??

[PPK_19]

Connery for me, the Scottish prick. If you're Bond, you know you're going to be an international figure and you have to accept the interviews and everything that comes with it. Never mind the fact that in many peoples' eyes (not mine though) he is the defining image of James Bond, and is usually seen as the best.

What would you rather see?

Felix Lighter making a return in Bond 24, having a bigger role this time round, almost as a sidekick to Bond (though not having as much exposure as Halle Berry did as Jinx)

OR

Q or 'B' as he may be called, entering the field with Bond, much like he did in LTK.

??

[thecasinoroyale]

I think that this 'Q' or 'B' character will be too young (almost like the buddy-cop sidekick rookie) to enter the field in light of the amazing, cantankerous older 'Q' in 'Licence To Kill', so I go for Felix Lighter making a return in Bond 24, having a bigger role this time round, almost as a sidekick to Bond (though not having as much exposure as Halle Berry did as Jinx). As it used to be in the novels!


Which character was over-used in the Bond films and ended up losing the impact they originally had...?

Judi Dench as 'M'

OR

Joe Don Baker as Jack Wade

??

[The Dove]

Hmm...have to say Joe Don Baker as Jack Wade...thought his being brought into Tomorrow Never Dies was somewhat irrelevant.

Another repeat fliming location for Bond 24, such as Japan or India OR somewhere Bond has never been before, like Australia or New Zealand?

[thecasinoroyale]

Spice it up a bit, somewhere new lik Australia or New Zealand. I think it would be interesting seeing him in new territory!


What makes a good James Bond film?

The psycopathic, hell-bent on world domination villains

OR

The pulse-pounding, spine tingling music

??

[The Dove]

The pules-pounding, spine tingling music...

When doing a Bond-athon, do you prefer: to watch the films one per viewing session so that you can savor it OR do double features i.e. Dr.No/From Russia With Love, during your viewing session?

[thecasinoroyale]

Good one - I like to watch the films one per viewing session so that you can savor it, think it over and look forward to the next one! I'll be doing one of those come September/October...wonder why...?


If EON came to a legal crisis...and it was up to you to decide the future of the series....would you....

Have EON erase 10 James Bond films from the franchise to create a new timeline and continue making new James Bond films. They wouldn't change the order, but events, characters and all things associated with the 10 films would be discontinued and erased from the archives.

OR

Leave the films as they are, and 'Skyfall' is the final James Bond film ever made, even with the want to make more.

[PrinceKamalKhan]

[thecasinoroyale]

Helga Brandt...a nice bit of SPECTRE rough, and she looks killer in that red blouse!


Do you prefer the Bond girls..

....of the Pierce Brosnan era...

OR

...the Sean Connery era...

??

[mrevans]

The girls from Connery's era. There more consistently beautiful, they better connect with the audience emotionally(at least with me anyway) and, besides DAF, they're classier.

Who would you most like to see James Bond battle as the main Bond Villan?

The joker from The Dark Knight

or

The joker from 1989's Batman

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh good one. Both brilliant Joker's for thier time. If Roger Moore was Bond now, 1989's Joker would be perfect but for James Bond NOW, I'd have to go for Heath Ledger's Joker from 'The Dark Knight' up against Daniel Craig. I can see that... a manical, homicidal villain against a spy!


Which title sounds most 'Bond-like' to you...

'Moonraker'

OR

'GoldenEye'

??

[mrevans]

Goldeneye because it just sounds right.

In an alternate universe where this is would be possible and the ages would make sense,

Sean Connery stars in Goldeneye with Daniel Craig as Alec Trevelyan.

or

George Lazenby stars in TLD with Pierce Brosnan as Georgi Koscov

[The Dove]

Hmm...that's a good one...I'm intrigued by the Connery and Craig Goldeneye scenario..

Who should be given a second chance to get a Bond title song right...Madonna OR Jack White?

[Trevelyan 006]

Ughh. Given the choices, I'd definitely have to go with Jack White. (Madonna and Bond never felt quite in-sync in my opinion, to say the least.)


It's a bar fight, and you have a choice between two pairs of Bonds to fight on your side, do you pick:

Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan

OR

Sean Connery and George Lazenby

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh, easily Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan! We've seen Dalton handle himself well in a bar fight in 'LTK'...I say 'well', apart from the bloody nose and the swordfish attack, but he's tough as old boots, and Brosnan would use anything to hand to inflict some damage in the suavest way possible.


Who has the best gunbarrel walk / turn / shoot / freeze pose....


Roger Moore (2nd Gunbarrel)...think 'For Your Eyes Only'...

OR

Timothy Dalton...think 'The Living Daylights'...

??

[The Dove]

Gotta go with Timothy Dalton's gunbarrel..

Time for another Chris Nolan-Batman series tie in with Bond...Who would you like to see in a future Bond:

Gary Oldman as an MI6 ally of Daniel Craig's James Bond OR Joseph Gordon-Levitt as an American C.I.A agent?

[thecasinoroyale]

Gary Oldman as an MI6 ally of Daniel Craig's James Bond...although it would be very George Smiley 'Tinker Tailer' territory...but would be very good to see Oldman in a Bond!


Who would you have direct Bond 24?


Christopher Nolon

OR

Steven Spielberg

??

[mrevans]

Love to see Nolan direct in the future.

Bond film set in the 19th century

or

Bond film set in the 23rd century

[The Dove]

hmm interesting premise, mrevens... either would be amusing to see but I think I'd like to see a Bond film set in the 19th century, feature one of James' ancestors as the main character.

A Bond crossover series....Bond meets up with Doctor Who and the Tardis gang OR Bond meets Benedict Cumberbatch's modern Sherlock Holmes?

[thecasinoroyale]

Blurrgh....neither if I had the power but I'd rather Bond meet Sherlock Holmes rather than a Time Lord!!


What would be an ideal Fathers Day gift for James Bond??

A pair of socks fitted with a homing device

OR

An engraved lighter filled with nerve gas

??

[mrevans]

I'll say the socks with the homing device. They are safe around small children and usful with them too!

Of the two following Bond girls who would Bond more likely father a child with? Ya know if there were no other women left

Stacy Sutton

or

Christmas Jones

?

[The Dove]

Hmm.. dunno who Bond would choose, but if it was up to me I'd have to go with Stacey Sutton (who I suspect Bond might pick too)...sorry, can't even look at Denise Richards' Christmas Jones without associating her with that creep, Charlie Sheen...*shudder*

The next rock based Bond theme should be performed by....Rush OR AC/DC ?

Edited by The Dove, 18 June 2012 - 03:57 AM.

[thecasinoroyale]

Not huge on rock so can't say Rush as I've not heard much of their stuff, so I'll call AC/DC. Could be interesting....?


At the end of the 'Skyfall' end credits, the title of Bond 24 is revealed to us for James Bond to return in. Is it...

"Death Comes Knocking"

OR

"Life Never Wins"

??

[The Dove]

Ooh..."Life Never Wins"..sounds much more like a Bond-esque title to me..

The more laughable moment for a Bond villian, and this is NOT laughable in a good sense: Charles Gray as Blofeld in drag in DAF OR balloon-boy, Kananga in LALD?

[thecasinoroyale]

Charles Gray as Blofeld in drag in 'DAF' - just something you can't take for real either in a Bond movie or from the head of the most criminal organisation in the world.


During 'Bond 24' would you prefer a foot chase between Bond and a suspect either...

Around and up the Eiffel Tower in Paris

OR

In and on the Great Wall of China...in China.

??
