Timothy Dalton for sure...he was getting into his stride before it was sadly cut short where as Brosnan had peaked too soon and was looking too weary for another explosive adventure like 'DAD'.


What mode of transport do you think Bond performs better on...

Motorbikes('Tomorrow Never Dies' / 'Quantum Of Solace' / 'GoldenEye')

OR

Skis ('For Your Eyes Only' / 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' / 'The World Is Not Enough')

??

I always felt Bond seemed really happy about skiing when he gets the chance to and when he is biking it seems like he it to busy to enjoy it.

Which film had the better villain lair: LTK or GE?

Which classic rock band/artist would be more suited for a Bond film: Led Zeppelin OR Jimi Hendrix??

I think...currently it would be Led Zeppelin, that would be a differnet sort of Bond theme!



James Bond leaves the Secret Service and becomes an Olympic athelete for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games (stop it, it could happen!). Is his sport....


Shooting

OR

Judo

Shooting because Bond doesn't throw a kick in the gun barrel sequence lol.

Would you rather have

Sean Connery as 007 in OHMSS instead of Lazenby

or

Pierce Brosnan in TLD and LTK instead of Dalton

?

Sean Connery as 007 in 'OHMSS' instead of George Lazenby, the one factor that deters my enjoyment is Lazneby himself, so having Connery where he should have been will do me fine!


In alternate casting, what would you rather have happened...

Timothy Dalton loses out to Pierce Brosnan for 'The Living Daylights'

OR

Daniel Craig loses out to Clive Owen for 'Casino Royale'

Timothy Dalton because I like to think had Brosnan started in 87 we might have gotten an extra film in 92.

Which was the better bulldozer scene:

TLD in Afghanistan

or

CR in Madagascar

'Casino Royale' in Madagascar - sheer destructive power and very good at stopping bullets!


What sequence in a James Bond film do you think has no place in a James Bond film?

The parkour chase and embassy fight in 'Casino Royale'

OR

The ice lake and palace car chase in 'Die Another Day'

I thought it was a little much to make it a ice palace and a ecological preserver, like as if a ice palace and fake diamond mine wasn't enough.
Now if Bond took the DBS into North Korea to save Jinx that could make for a wicked car chase, taking out copters, hovercraft, etc, IMO anyway.

What would be worse for Bond fans;

Skyfall is a failure

OR

Craig leaves the role after Skyfall

Ooh good one!! Both would be so hurtful but I think as a whole, if 'Skyfall' is a failure, it will give way to no end of flack for Craig, Bond as a series and god knows what...which is scary! I hope neither one comes true...if it does, I'll hunt you down S K Y F A L L!


If James Bond had a new American ally, in the same vein as Felix Leiter, but this one was a Washington D.C politician...would you prefer the actor as...

Harrison Ford

OR

Clint Eastwood

I would have to go with Harrison Ford because I'm a much larger fan of his and he has already worked with Craig before in Cowboys Vs Aliens.

Who had the better cameo;

Madonna / DAD

or

Wayne Newton / LTK

?

Wayne Newton - he actually convinced me in his part, unlike the too obvious appearence of Madonna, and with less innuendo, it made for far more entertaining viewing and actually helped the plot along!


In the same vein as the Golden Gate Bridge battle in the finale of 'A View To A Kill', what famous monument would you like to see Bond and his villain have a to-the-death showdown in a future film...


Inside Big Ben, located in London, England.

OR

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, located in Pisa, Italy.

Tower of Pisa although they were just there in QOS they'll be in London a lot in Skyfall.

a watch gadget

OR

a DB5 gadget

The crocodile submarine cover, last used 29 years ago in 'Octopussy'

OR

The Bond-ola, last used 35 years ago in 'Moonraker'

Severine for sure - she sounds like a fox, looks like a fox and generally gives off a very beautiful, yet dark vibe that I can't wait to see.


From what you have seen so far, do you think that Raoul Silva, the villain in 'Skyfall'...


Will be as memorable and exciting as classic villains like Red Grant, Max Zorin, Auric Goldfinger and even Jaws.

OR

Looks the part but will suffer from action-villain syndrome and be as forgettable as Dominic Greene, Elliot Carver, Renard and Georgi Koskov.

Will be memorable and exciting IMO because he has already got a lair, he appears to have a great plan and seems determined to complete it.

Which throwback would you rather have in Skyfall ;

Some reference about "50 years"

OR

Bond walking down a hallway with paintings of all the previous Bond actors.

Hmm....I think a reference about "50 Years" would be more subtle, yet fitting. The paintings could be a little surreal and daft if they throw 5 paintings in and they are very obviously the other actors...but both good ideas.


Which Bond girl would you like to see re-booted for Bond 24 opposite Daniel Craig...


Major Anya Amasova - Bond's Russian equal in the Service, with a previous history with 007. Their paths cross on a mutual assignment that requires both British and Russian cooperation.

OR

May Day - A tall, strong and beautiful bodyguard to the main villain. A professional karate expert and silent heavy who doesn't click with 007 on their first meeting and has her eyes set on stopping his investigation.

Major Anya Amasova because the scene in the Lotus in TSWLM where she tells Bond how she stole the blue prints to the car is one of the funnier scenes in the film IMO.

Which place is more likely to return as another setting for future Bond films;

North Korea

OR

Afghanistan

Have to say North Korea, less risk of Bond upsetting major powers there...well, saying that, he can rock the boat in either country and it will be a little too close to home probably, but he would still save the day!


What was the biggest threat James Bond managed to stop during his 50 Years on the silver screen...

SPECTRE's plan to use two atomic bombs for mass destruction for Extortion.

OR

Karl Stromberg's plan to use nuclear missles to help destory gobal superpowers, leading to World War Three.

Both are the same really but I'll give the edge to Stromberg launching the missiles...at least we saw those nuclear missiles launched and actually blow up the two baddie submarines, thusly creating a bigger *Whew!! That was a close call * moment for the audience..

Which Bond looked or looks the most comfortable (or at home, as it were) in scenes set in London..(and they all have had scenes set in London in their films)..: Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan or Craig?

Hmm..I think I'd have to go for Roger Moore. Swinging it for me, it's probably the dressing gown introduction in 'Live And Let Die'. He looks very comfy there, and even making a coffee for M. A quick brush of his hair, adjusting the robe...yes, very comfortable I think out of them all!


Which actor portrays Bond at his 'loose cannon' best...

Timothy Dalton going it alone in 'Licence To Kill'

OR

Daniel Craig slinking through the shadows in 'Quantum Of Solace'

Dalton because I think the scene when he flees M and his agents is more bad [censored] then when Craig fights the agents in the elevator and does that lame kick to push the guys foot back into the elevator. (Wasn't a fan of that scene although Strawberry Fields covered in oil was cool)

If in another decade they decide to do another homage to Jill Master covered in gold and Straqberry Fields covered in oil, what should the element be;

ICE

or

FIRE

Well I'd go for Ice, almost shining with diamond-like quality with the fearful victim encased inside forever. It could be very "chilling" to see. *cue eyebrow arch*

Roger Moore and his eyebrow cocking

Pierce Brosnan and his tie adjusting

Has to be Octopussy - she's got a spark in that role and seems to enjoy herself more than just the 2-D Andrea Anders role in 'The Man With The Golden Gun'.

Lasting 50 years because I always thought watching the movies in order seemed like going though a time machine. Its cool to watch the advancement of technology though the films and so on. If only they could have release one in 1992 and 2004 it would have been perfect IMO.
