Arnold's first Bond score was his best IMHO.

Prince Kamal Khan's Monsoon Palace from Octopussy

or

Sir Gustav Graves' Ice Palace from Die Another Day?

[thecasinoroyale]

Even though the Ice Palace is dramatically very Bond-like, I do prefer the Monsoon Palace due to the action taking place in and around it. Plus there's some great scenes there too.



Should the film adaptation of James Bond be played..

Seriously - cold-hearted and emotionless

OR

Humourusly - full of wit and a dashing smile

??

[The Dove]

A little mixture of both in a correct balance would be ideal..but having to choose between only the two, I'd go for the humorous side of Bond.. not take it quite as far as Roger Moore may have done, but a little bit of charm and dry wit works well for Bond.

Time for another Bond mix-up, in so far as if the different actors got to do different films: Sean Connery for Goldeneye OR Daniel Craig for Thunderball ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Daniel Craig for 'Thunderball' - would love to see Craig's Bond in underwater action.


Another mix-up...

Timothy Dalton is James Bond in 'Casino Royale'

OR

Daniel Craig is James Bond in 'Licence To Kill'

??

[PPK_19]

Extremely hard TCR, as i believe Bond and Dalton to be one and the same Bond, if you know what i mean. But if i had to choose, Daniel Craig in LTK. Just to see him handle more emotional scenes. I think he does them really well.

For Bond 24, do you want to see Arnold return to score the film?

OR

Has your patience with him run so thin that you'll take whatever composer the director for Bond 24 brings along, regardless of their talent

??

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm, without hearing Newman I have to say bring David Arnold back. He was getting better with each Bond film I reckon and nailed the feel of each film each time. It will be a shame not to have him in 'Skyfall'


Another film mix-up...


Roger Moore is James Bond in 'Goldfinger'

OR

Sean Connery is James Bond in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

??

[The Dove]

Hmm.. Have to say Roger Moore in "Goldfinger"

Vodka martinis...do you prefer : with olives OR a twist of lemon peel ??

[thecasinoroyale]

A twist of lemon peel. Classic.....sorry Dove, about your Av.


Which was the best Moore-era "Sir" pun...


"Just keeping the British end up, sir!"

OR

"I think he's attempting re-entry, sir."

??

[Jose]

"Just keeping the British end up, sir!"

Let's see if I'm doing this right:

Yul Brynner as Blofeld
or
David Bowie as Max Zorin

[The Dove]

(Welcome to the game, Jose..yes thats how you play it..)

Ooh.. I'd take David Bowie as Max Zorin..that would quite the casting..after seeing him in Labryinth, I believe he could have pulled it off.

Which are you anticipating more: Adele's Skyfall theme song OR Thomas Newman's Skyfall score?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Thomas Newman's score

Timothy Dalton as Bond in Goldfinger

or

Daniel Craig as Bond in Moonraker?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I'd actually love another Dalton film, and seeing him in 'Goldfinger' would be brilliant.


Which flying vechile did James Bond have a worse time hanging from...


The Zorin airship in 'A View To A Kill'

OR

The Cigar Girl's hot-air balloon in 'The World Is Not Enough'

??

[The Dove]

Have to say the Zorin airship...at least Bond's fall from the hot air balloon was halted by the roof of the Millennium Dome... Had he fallen off the nose of Zorin's blimp, 007 would now just be "an anonymous star on the Memorial Board at MI6"...

Bond theme song mix-up: Paul McCartney and Wings for "A View To A Kill" OR Lulu for "You Only Live Twice" ??

[thecasinoroyale]

Nice... has to be Lulu with 'You Only Live Twice', that could be quite melodic. Just never let Macca near any Duran Duran work to butcher the best Bond theme yet!


Future actor for a Bond villain intenent on stealing nuclear submarines to use against a number of major cities...

Sylvester Stallone as Denzel Stalagmire, who has a robotic eye

OR

Jean-Claude Van Damme as Sinclair Alfuerta who has metal fists

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with Sly Stallone...hah!!

Bond directors mix-ups : Terence Young for "Tomorrow Never Dies" OR Peter Hunt for "Die Another Day" ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Peter Hunt for "Die Another Day". Would be interesting to see what he could bring to the table of this messy film.


Why do you think 'Die Another Day' flopped so much with fans?

The narrative and characters - A flimsy story and cardboard characters that were cartoonish more than real-life

OR

The tacky effects and gimmicks - Sloppy CGI work, far overused, and full of jokes and comedy that didn't seem to fit at all

??

[The Dove]

Definitely the "The tacky effects and gimmicks - Sloppy CGI work, far overused, and full of jokes and comedy that didn't seem to fit at all " think you summed up my points of contention about Die Another Day nicely, TCR!

Which Bond film do you feel was rushed too much in pre-production and production in terms of trying to get it out?? The Man With The Golden Gun, rushed to get it out to follow the success wave of Live And Let Die OR Quantum of Solace, rushed because of the impending writer's strike ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Deffo 'Quantum Of Solace' - at least 'The Man With The Golden Gun' was steady and had some noteable, iconic moments unlike 'QOS' which had so much potential, and didn't feature anything major, even for James Bond, except the opening pre-titles.


What moment are you looking forward to most in 'Skyfall'...

The reveal of the villain, Raoul Silva

OR

The title theme and credit sequence

??

[glidrose]

Nobody rushed TMWTGG into production. Fan myth, plain and simple. See this post.

The title theme and credit sequence of course.

[thecasinoroyale]

With the 99% confirmation via social media and leaks that Adele is singing the 'Skyfall' theme song, are you...

EXCITED - A brilliant artist and a very current and popular choice who will bring Bond back into the charts with a great song, probably one of the most powerful in recent years

or

DISSAPOINTED - I was hoping EON would stay off the Adele-loving band-wagon and go for someone else, or even a group who aren't as big in the mass media, like Chris Cornell back in 2006.

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with EXCITED...Granted, I'm not the biggest Adele fan in the world but she does have a very unique voice which would match a Bond theme very well indeed...

As the countdown clock is getting closer and closer to the release of Skyfall, especially for the folks in the U.K, are you: Getting more and more anxious and excited with anticipation OR staying relatively relaxed and calm and will let the excitement flow on the day of the film's release?

[thecasinoroyale]

Getting more and more anxious and excited with anticipation! I didn't think I would, but it's so close and I can't wait to have over 2 hours of a new Bond adventure!


Regarding the 50th Anniversary, do you think we will have any more big Bond surprises for us fans?

YES - Possible new items to buy, or exclusive cinema showings...just more goodies!

OR

NO - It will die off after 'Skyfall' and come to and slow end with Christmas

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

NO - It will die off after 'Skyfall' and come to and slow end with Christmas

The pretitle sequence from For Your Eyes Only

or

the pretitle sequence from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service?

[The Dove]

The pre-titles from OHMSS..

Bond girl mix-ups: Grace Jones as Jinx OR Famke Janssen as May Day ?

[S K Y F A L L]

Famke Janssen as May Day I just never liked Grace Jones hair cut all that much in AVTAK

If one of the following characters from the Brosnan films was used in CR who would you prefer: Charles Robinson OR Q?

[killkenny kid]

Charles Robinson




The LivingDaylights or Quantum of Solace

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm... at a pinch, have to say 'The Living Daylights'!


Which Bond debut film was the best:

'Live And Let Die' for Roger Moore

OR

'The Living Daylights' for Timothy Dalton

??

[The Dove]

Have to say Live and Let Die..

The minute Adele's "Skyfall" theme tune hits the net next week, are you going to wait and let others hear it first and read their thoughts about it OR jump straight in and listen to it right away and review it yourself?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to jump in straight away and have a listen!


With the theme tune for 'Skyfall' - rumours are it will be a ballad. Would you like...

A fast paced song like 'You Know My Name', 'GoldenEye' or 'The Man With The Golden Gun' etc

OR

A slow paced song like 'Nobody Does It Better', 'You Only Live Twice' or 'Tomorrow Never Dies' etc

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A fast paced song like 'You Know My Name', 'GoldenEye' or 'The Man With The Golden Gun' etc

Double feature:

Thunderball/The Man with the Golden Gun

or

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service/The Spy Who Loved Me?
