I am going to have to go with Blofeld because I don't really consider Jaws a villain, he is a henchmen.

Most iconic henchmen

Odd Job or Jaws

Bond 24 is to be an adaption of one of John Gardners novels....

Licence Renewed

I say Licence Renewed - far more interesting plot and better for Craig to dish out.


The James Bond novels, post-Fleming, do you...

ACCEPT THEM - Part of the Bond canon and great to read further adventures of the Fleming's character

OR

IGNORE THEM - A futile attempt to keep an iconic literature character alive when he should be left alone

That's a tough one, because there are reasons for both ACCEPTING THEM and IGNORING THEM, but I'm gonna go with IGNORE THEM because we have some great novels and I think if they keep going it's not gonna be long before they start resorting to the books being just worded versions of a Bond film. We have some great novels and if we keep advertising these novels more people will read them. People love the James Bond they have let's keep the ones we've got.

Do you want...

Jeffrey Wright to return as Felix Leiter

or

Change the actor and re-introduce Felix to whoever plays the next Bond?

Jeffrey Wright to return as Felix. I thought he played a good Felix in my opinion!

Next weapon James Bond should use in a film..

Go old school with a sword or use a rocket launcher?

DAD featured a sword most recently, so I would go with rocket launcher.

If there was a 1992 Bond film on the 50th Anniversary who would you rather see in the role; Dalton OR Brosnan?

I think you mean 30th anniversary haha :)
But Dalton!

Which is most tragic?
Vesper's death
Or
Tracy's death?

Both sad cases but has to be Tracy, as she didn't betray Bond for any reason and caught up in the wrong lifestyle.

Which Bond girl is the best in your eyes for personaility, use, looks etc..


Solitare (Jane Seymour) in 'Live And Let Die'

OR

Tatiana Romanova (Daniella Bianchi) in 'From Russia With Love'

??

Tatiana Romanova because I found her story more interesting and realistic, she looks good and her use is vital in Bond getting the Lektor but I think Solitaire had her advantages although I don't think she's the most interesting Bond girl...

John Logan wants one of these to play a secondary Bond girl in Bond 24...

January Jones

or

Thelka Reuten

January Jones! I mean Thelka Reuten is pretty, but she is more exotic. I think January Jones is sexy enough for the role. Plus I think it will get a lot more people interested since she is very well known as an actress. I don't know who Thelka Reuten is...

For those who have seen Skyfall, is Q....

Better since he is younger or... should have kept with John Cleese or someone older?

Actually more than I thought, he works better younger. But he doesn't "act" younger if you know what I mean - his head is screwed on, his loves his job and he's very clued up about the world lived in with gadgets and technology, plus the bond formed with 007 is magical.


If you took away one of the following elements, which one would kill James Bond films...

The soundtrack and main theme song

OR

The pre-title sequence and main titles

??

Losing the pre-title sequence and main titles would be more damaging to the Bond series in my opinion...It's survived questionable soundtracks (Eric Serra's Goldeneye) and horrendous title songs (Madonna's Die Another Day)

What would be more interesting for an aging Bond character...to become a professor at a university and occasionally be called back into service, like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones OR to become an "M" like authority figure in MI6 and assign the field work to younger 00 agents?

I could see Daniel Craig as a professor like Harrison Ford, interesting question btw!

If James Bond had to team up with someone from another big franchise would it be....

Indiana Jones or Jason Bourne?

I think the car sequence - far more twists and turns and danger rather than the standard bike chase in open space.


Which 'A View To A Kill' stunt is better:

The Renault taxi jumping over traffic, on the bus roof and back onto the road in Paris

OR

The fire truck driving manoeuvers through San Francisco

The fire truck stunt all the way, I was not overly a fan of that car chase.

Now that Star Wars is being planned for a 2015 release; do you think Bond should go back to space OR not?

NOT! I don't think it's Fleming enough for Bond, even in the Moonraker novel from what I can remember, they never actually went into space and I don't think it would suit Craig's Bond.

Bond 24 wants a henchwoman who is killed by Bond half way through the movie. Who should play her?

Marion Cotillard

or

Louise Bourgoin?

Marion Cotillard - she played one well enough in 'The Dark Knight Rises', so could do well opposite Craig.


A country James Bond should visit next...


Austrailia

OR

North Korea

'The Spy Who Loved Me' - he probably has that more iconic look in 'Moonraker', with the shirt and braces etc, but something about him in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' is great - his fight with Bond in the train, his first appearence with Sandor, battling Bond and Anya in Egypt and his prescence on Atlantis. Great.


If you had to hire a Bond henchman, who would you take...

Mr.Stamper from 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

OR

Nick Nack from 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

Dancing with a Bond girl - if it's anything played like Connery and Paluzzi in 'Thunderball', it will be a great, tense moment. I don't want any Cha-Cha-Cha.

Harold Strutter in 'Live And Let Die'

OR

Luigi Ferrara in 'For Your Eyes Only'

Have to go with Strutter in LALD...At least with Ferrara, he and Bond had more time to develop a friendship before Ferrara's untimely death.

Which ally chemistry simply did not work well... John Terry's Felix Leiter and Dalton's Bond in The Living Daylights OR Bond and Campbell in OHMSS?

John Terry's Felix Leiter never felt like a perfect fit perhaps that's why he didn't return for LTK.

Both good ones, but I go for 'Quantum Of Solace' - 'Tomorrow Never Dies' had too many generic action film elements that could be from any other action film, not just a Bond.

Who's 3rd film was better..

Sean Connery's 'Goldfinger'

OR

Roger Moore's 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

Oh jeez that's tough considering those are my two favorite James Bond movies...

Goldfinger for me is better just because it has more classic elements of the Bond franchise.

Die another Day or Moonraker

I have a soft spot for DAD and really enjoy the first half of the film, so I would have to choose MR even though I think it has the better pre title sequence and score.

Which actors 5th film was better ;) ;

You Only Live Twice OR For Your Eyes Only ?
