Blofeld for Stromberg in TSWLM. Might've given some good closure to the events of OHMSS.

Bond's escape from the Wavekrest in Licence to Kill

or

Bond's "backseat driver" car chase in Hamburg in Tomorrow Never Dies?

[Mr. Blofeld]

The Wavekrest escape in itself was great, but Krest attempting (and failing miserably) to describe it after to his disbelieving boss is just the icing on the cake.


Better '60s casting choice:

Jean-Paul Belmondo as a Bond villain

or

Peter Ustinov as a Bond ally

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Peter Ustinov as a Bond ally.


Best Bond action theme score:

"He's Dangerous" from 'A View To A Kill' - used during the Golden Gate final fight.

OR

"Ice Chase" from 'The Living Daylights' - used during the car chase between Bond and the police.

??

[Pussfeller]

"He's Dangerous", because Barry's score is the only redeeming feature of AVTAK apart from Chris Walken.

Which is a better Bond itinerary:

Mexico City > Houston > Dubai > Tel Aviv

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Moore.

Better casting that almost was:

Julie Christie as Domino in Thunderball

or

Raquel Welch as Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever?

[Pussfeller]

Julie Christie, mainly because Raquel Welch would have been wasted in DAF.

If Felix Leiter had appeared in GoldenEye, would you rather have cast...

Corbin Bernsen

or

Woody Harrelson ?

[Mr. Blofeld]

Christie.


Better Bond film that never was:

Warhead

or

The Property of a Lady (Bond 17)

?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

I think Pussfeller's got missed:

Julie Christie, mainly because Raquel Welch would have been wasted in DAF.

If Felix Leiter had appeared in GoldenEye, would you rather have cast...

Corbin Bernsen

or

Woody Harrelson ?

Bernsen

and

Christie.


Better Bond film that never was:

Warhead

or

The Property of a Lady (Bond 17)

The Property of a Lady

Better earlier script idea not used:

Bond battles Auric Goldfinger's twin brother in Diamonds Are Forever

or

Elliot Harmsway(later Carver) plans to level Hong Kong prior to the UK's returning it to Red China in Tomorrow Never Dies?

[Mr. Blofeld]

Harmsway.

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Alec Trevelyan's final battle and drop to the earth

Better almost Bond casting:

John Gavin as James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever

or

Sam Neill as James Bond in The Living Daylights?

[Mr. Blofeld]

Sam Neill.


More Pushkin

or

Less Zukovsky

?

[Pussfeller]

More Pushkin for the pushin.

Blofeld's cat is more likely named...

[thecasinoroyale]

Zorba


For the 50th Anniversary, would you have...


All 6 James Bond actors round the table for a 90 minute conversation/interview documentary about the Bond series but 'Skyfall' is pushed back to November 2013 and thus Daniel Craig's future as 007 hangs in the balance.

OR

A live confirmation deal with Daniel Craig for doing 4 more Bond films after 'Skyfall' but the only anniversay celebration is the Blu-Ray boxset.

Final underwater battle from Thunderball

or

Final outer space battle from Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

Final outer space battle from Moonraker.


Theme Song:


'A View To A Kill'

OR

'You Know My Name'

??

[Pussfeller]

Both are good, but 'A View to a Kill' is better. IMO the best Bond theme apart from 'Goldfinger'.

Which was bawdier:

Diamonds Are Forever

or

Octopussy ?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

DAF.

Tracy Bond and Paris Carver

or

Kara Milovy and Kissy Suzuki?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm....Kara Milovy and Kissy Suzuki.


Most unexpected death:

Chang landing on a piano in 'Moonraker'

OR

Boris Grishenko getting frozen in liquid nitrogen in 'GoldenEye'

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Chang landing on a piano in 'Moonraker'

Bond battling the SPECTRE thug in Mr. Osato's office in You Only Live Twice

Bond battling Chang in the Venini Glass Museum in Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond battling the SPECTRE thug in Mr. Osato's office in You Only Live Twice.


If Bond had to bring back one of his 'habits', would it be...

Smoking

OR

Hard drinking

??

[Mr. Blofeld]

Hard drinking, just in case Smell-O-Vision makes a comeback. ;-)


Bond's scrambled eggs

or

Stacey Sutton's quiche

?

[Pussfeller]

I'd pick the quiche, and I don't care who knows it. Scrambled eggs aren't a meal, no matter how much butter and cheese you put in them.

Best unnamed minor adversary:

the Groucho Marx lookalike in From Russia With Love

or

the irreverent taxi driver from Live and Let Die ?

[Mr. Blofeld]

Taxi driver; he was funnier, and didn't look like an older Sean Connery in a poor disguise.

The best Bond kill...


Bond using Grant's garotte wire on himself on the Orient Express in 'From Russia With Love'

OR

Bond electrocuting Odd-Job via his own hat in Fort Knox in 'Goldfinger'

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Bond using Grant's garotte wire on himself on the Orient Express in 'From Russia With Love'

Bond battling Oddjob in Fort Knox in Goldfinger finale

or

Bond battling Jaws aboard Atlantis in The Spy Who Loved Me finale?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I want to say Bond vs Jaws as Moore's facial and verbal wit is great, but for the sheer force of how Bond actually can't get a hit in edgeways and Oddjob just looks too cool taking a gold bullion bar to the chest...I go for Oddjob vs Bond.


Most diabolicle villain's scheme...


Max Zorin - Destroy Silicon Valley

OR

Dr Kananga - Flood America with cheap, easy herorin

??

[mrevans]

As much as I like Zorin, Kananga's plan is genius in that that its so simple, practical and very believable.

Dr. Kananga's plan to flood the market with cheap, easy herorin.

Exposive milk bottles from TLD

or

Baby rocket gun in a cigarette from YOLT?

[Mr. Blofeld]

Explosive milk bottles; you'd never predict 'em. ;-)
