Gotta be the Great Wall of China...Eiffel Tower has already been done in AVTAK... There were rumors early on in the Skyfall production that the motorcycle chase might perhaps take place on the Great Wall of China, but we now know it's centered in Istanbul.

(Still in my Dark Knight Rises, excitement phase, I pose the question)... Would Tom Hardy be better as a future Bond villian OR as James Bond himself, once Daniel Craig finally steps away from the role?

[thecasinoroyale]

Nice one. Well he's a bit TOO manish for James Bond but seeing how he handled himself in 'Inception', 'Bronson', 'Layer Cake' and I am SURE 'The Dark Knight Rises', he has to be a brilliant Bond villain!!


Which actor from Christopher Nolan's Batman universe would you like to see in a future Bond film?

Sir Michael Caine - As an ally of 007's, like Rene Mathis, but one far more complex and clever so you never know until the finale who's side he's on...

OR

Liam Neeson - Playing a businessman in the similar vein of Max Zorin, out to destory what he can in the world and to eradicate 007 in the process...

??

[S K Y F A L L]

LIAM NEESON because I think he would make a great villain and have a psychical presence I don't think Christopher Walken had. Now I want it to come true!

If CHRISTOPHER NOLAN directed a Bond film would you rather it be more like;

INCEPTION minus the dreams

OR

BATMAN minus the comic book universe?

[The Dove]

INCEPTION, minus the dreams...a psychological thriller along the lines of INCEPTION would make a VERY interesting Bond film indeed!

The cruelest practical Bond joke that EON could play on us Bond fans...After the SKYFALL end credits, the message appears " JAMES BOND WILL NOT RETURN" OR EON announce that starting with Bond 25, all the films will be re-made as they have run out of ideas..(thus Bond 25 will be Dr. No (2016) ?

[thecasinoroyale]

After the SKYFALL end credits, the message appears "JAMES BOND WILL NOT RETURN". Gutted! At least the remakes would remotley be interesting seeing a fresh, new-take on the films if Daniel Craig is involved.

'Bond 24' is announced and over 70% of the film will be set...

In Outer Space a'la 'Moonraker'

OR

Underwater a'la 'Thunderball'

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with "In Outer Space" as underwater has been done more recently, i.e. Tomorrow Never Dies... Haven't seen Bond in space since 1979 so it would be more interesting to get a modern take on it.

Who would you prefer...Daniel Kleinman back for the Skyfall titles sequence OR Someone new, and NOT MK12, to have a shot at it?

[thecasinoroyale]

After MK12 didn't crack it - I'll go for Daniel Kleinman back for the 'Skyfall' titles sequence as he did get 'Casino Royale' spot on, so let's stick to what works!


In what way do you think 007 will use his "Bond, James Bond" line during 'Skyfall'


To Severine, on their first meeting.

OR

To Mallory, on their first introduction.

??

[S K Y F A L L]

To SEVERINE. I imagine it might take place at the floating Casio but we'll have to wait and see, maybe it will make the trailer.

If you could have one extra Bond film which would you prefer?

A 3rd Dalton film in 1992 (the 30th anniversary)

OR

A 5th Brosnan film in 2004?

[thecasinoroyale]

A 3rd Dalton film in 1992. Brosnan was never going to redeem himself or the franchise after 'DAD'.


If you could remove one Bond film from the franchise, and all associated elements from the series in that film...would it be...

1964's 'Goldfinger'

OR

1977's 'The Spy Who Loved Me

??

[S K Y F A L L]

TSWLM because Bond and its elements have been established by this time and I don't think it would stand out as much if it were missing.

Who would you rather see in Bond 24?
Felix Leiter
OR
Mr .White

[thecasinoroyale]

Felix Leiter. Mr White is just proving himself inept at anything apart from getting hurt and dishing out orders. Bring back Leiter!


If you could remove any Bond film from the franchise, and all elements it introduces from the film - would it be...

1987s 'The Living Daylights'

OR

1995's 'GoldenEye'

??

[S K Y F A L L]

TLD because I owe it to GE for making me a 007 fan.

If you could get ride of one Bond henchman who would it be?

CR the man with the eye patch sun glasses

OR

QOS Elvis, Greene's second-in-command

[The Dove]

QOS Elvis...so his special atribute was that he was a useless lump who wore a bad wig? Ugh...what a waste of a henchman in a Bond film.

The bigger face-palming moment from a not-so-useful Bond girl: Tiffany Case, not being able to shoot a machine gun properly and being chucked off the oil rig in Diamonds Are Forever OR Mary Goodnight butt-pushing the "Master Override" switch on the Solex machine in The Man With The Golden Gun?

[S K Y F A L L]

Goodnight butt pushing because I never really liked that scene, seems like a reason to have a close up of her butt.
Which Bond car would you rather return?
The LOTUS
or
BMW

[thecasinoroyale]

I have always liked the BMW...especially the 750il.


In your eyes, who was the better Bond villain in terms of physical menace, evils scheme, lair, villanous deeds etc...


Max Zorin in 'A View To A Kill'

OR

Auric Goldfinger in 'Goldfinger'

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Although Max Zorin is physically superior to I would say GOLDFINGER because he was secretly taking out an army.

If Skyfall was to have a cameo featuring one of these Bond actors which would you choose;

SEAN CONNERY or ROGER MOORE

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Sir Roger Moore - his passion for the Bond franchise would lend greater weight to him appearing.

If one Bond film was chosen by EON to represent the franchise as a whole and to be used in reviews, re-releases and memorabilia focus - would it be...

1979's 'Moonraker'

OR

1989's 'Licence To Kill'

??

[The Dove]

1989's Licence To Kill...it would be better to NOT use the outter space theme from Moonraker to represent the Bond series as a whole.

Which do you think we'll get first...confirmation of who is doing the title SEQUENCE or title SONG for Skyfall?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think the title song for 'Skyfall' - that will be something EON want to make as big as possible, so that will come first I reckon.


If a character was re-booted for Bond 24, would you like to see...

Nick Nack - A diminuative killer and loyal servant, but also a charming gentleman at the same time.

OR

Emilio Largo - A brilliant criminal mind, living luxery lifestyle and sports an eye-patch.

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Nick Nack because CR ruined the eye patch for me I mean it just seemed unnecessary.

Which character do you think has the best chance to return in Bond 24

Eve or Severine?

[thecasinoroyale]

Eve. If Severine's character is painted the way I think she is, I don't think she'll make it to the final credits...!

If you could pick one defnining moment in 'Skyfall' for Daniel Craig to further cement his 'James Bond' role, would it be...


A scene with Bond in his Royal Navy Commander uniform.

OR

Bond ordering his "Medium dry Vodka Martini. Shaken, not stirred."

??

[The Dove]

Bond ordering his "Medium dry Vodka Martini, Shaken, not stirred."

The bigger NOOOOO!! moment for us Bond fans if it were ever to occur in a Bond film: A Lady Gaga OR Justin Bieber cameo appearance??

[thecasinoroyale]

Justin Bieber has NO place in this universe, never mind the Bond films - Lady GaGa could pull off some diva cameo at a stretch.

The best selling point for a Bond girl is...

...be honest now...


Their chest curvature (a'la Christmas Jones / Plenty O'Toole / Helga Brandt / Vesper Lynd etc)

OR

Their legs and derrier (a'la Xenia Onatopp / Pam Bouvier / Honey Ryder / Paris Carver etc)

??

[The Dove]

Hmm..I'm a legs and derrier man myself..LOL..

Your favorite B.J. Worth/ Jake Lombard stunt in a Bond film: Eiffle Tower jump (AVTAK), HALO Jump (TND), Hurcules cargo net fight (TLD), "Fishing" Sanchez's plane (LTK), Mid-air Bond vs baddie pilot fight (MR), Bond vs Gobinda on the top of Kamal Kahn's plane (OP) OR Bond's free fall chasing after the diving plane (GE) ?

[S K Y F A L L]

Have to go without the GE stunt because its simply outweighed by the others IMO, although I do love that GE PTS.

If Dalton did a 3rd Bond film should it be more like; TLD without the Cold War or LTK without Bond going rouge?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Licence To Kill' without going rogue - that had fantastic Bond/Fleming elements, Dalton was fantastic and even more like Craig's Bond, and the action sequences were brill.


Who is, on the face of it, the most useless Bond ally?


Leiutenant Hip (The Man With The Golden Gun)

OR

Harold Strutter (Live And Let Die)

??

[Pussfeller]

Lieutenant Hip, because his actions make no sense. He shows up at the villain's hideout precisely as Bond is escaping, helps him to beat up some of the henchmen, and then drives away for no reason, leaving Bond to find his own escape route. Now that's what I call useless.

Who was a bigger pigeon:

Bunky, whose courage was no match for an unfriendly shoe

or

Maxie, who shot his wad and lost Plenty

?

[thecasinoroyale]

(Pussfeller - I'm trying to think but can't figure what this is about to answer, but I can't! Enlighten me!)

[Pussfeller]

Too obscure? They're minor characters from FYEO and DAF, respectively. Both are unlucky, un-debonair casino patrons.

[S K Y F A L L]

I'll go with FYEO because I simply liked that Casino scene more.

Who would you prefer to have done three 007s film.

Sheriff J.W. Pepper OR Jaws?
