'Licence To Kill' - my first ever and favourite Bond.


Regarding Timothy Dalton's third Bond movie, should time have...

Allowed it to happen, to craft a more edgier 007 into the 90's and taking Bond into a brave new direction

OR

Stayed as it was and let Dalton bow out, letting the producers shake up a post-80s Bond for a new generation

??

[Iceskater101]

Allowed it to happen! Dalton should have done a third or even a fourth Bond film.

In License to Kill, should Dario have had more scenes?

Yes I think that he could have been ruthless if he had more scenes or No I like that he is only a minor character.

[S K Y F A L L]

It would have been cool to have another scene of him and Sanchez but I don't mind how it was done.

Which theme song do you like the must;

The Living Daylights OR Licence To Kill?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

TLD

Helga Brandt a.k.a No. 11(YOLT) and Corrine Dufour(MR)

or

Andrea Anders(TMWTGG) and Naomi(TSWLM)?

[The Dove]

Andrea Anders and Naomi..

MI6 Headquarters in future Bond films...should it remain as a permanent location in London OR would you like to see a return of the mobile temporary HQ's like the sub office in YOLT, the pyramid office in TSWLM, the sunken ship in TMWTGG ??

[thecasinoroyale]

I would like to see it remain permanent now the world knows it's there at Vauxhall. We've had so many mobile locations recently, or variations of MI6, I'd like to see it stay where it is for a good few films now.


Which version of MI6 interiors would you like to see more of...

The sleek and stylish design, touch-screens, sliding doors, ultra-modern and hi-tech ('Quantum Of Solace' as an example)

OR

Earthy colours, stylish yet retro with no frills, and a more classic, militaristic approach ('Die Another Day' as an example)

??

[GalaBond]

I think the sleek and stylish design for Q branch and other parts of MI6 but with M's office and Moneypenny's office kept the same (the end of Skyfall)

The next Bond villain...

Killed in the big stunt finale

or

Escapes big stunt finale but Bond finds him and kills him

[thecasinoroyale]

Killed in the big stunt finale - how they should go! And Craig's Bond has taken out a few villains personally himself recently.


Are the best villain deaths...

Loud and proud and memorable (Dr.No, Dr.Kananga, Max Zorin, Elliot Carver etc)

OR

Quieter and chilling and more personal (Red Grant, Franz Sanchez, Elektra King, Raoul Silva etc)

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

It depends on the individual death but I'll say quieter and chilling and more personal.

Better Bond girl line from MR:

"The face is familiar....as is the manner."(Holly)

or

"I never learned to read."(Corinne)?

[thecasinoroyale]

"The face is familiar....as is the manner." I never got Corrine's line...was it a double entendre, or a pun...? Just a line to me, went over my head.


Who would you like to see crop up in a future Bond film as an ally, working abroad for MI6.

Clint "Dirty Harry" Eastwood in Station C, Canada

OR

Harrison "Han Solo" Ford in Station H, Hong Kong

??

[The Dove]

Harrison Ford in Station H, Hong Kong...

Bond 24...should it have a one word title, like Goldfinger, Thunderball, Moonraker Octopussy, Goldeneye or Skyfall OR a multi-word title?

[S K Y F A L L]

Some reason I imagine it being a multi-word title.

Would you rather have Bond's PPK OR his father's shotgun?

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond's PPK - small but deadly.


If and when James Bond ever left the secret service, what would his next profession be..

A crime thriller author, writing as Jersey Bondov

OR

A celebrity chauffeur, driving under the name Robert Sterling

??

[GalaBond]

A crime thriller author, writing as Jersey Bondov...

Bond 24 is going to be an adaption of one of Ian Fleming's novels with aspects of one of his short stories so...

Live and Let Die with aspects of The Property of a Lady

or

Moonraker with aspects of The Hildebrand Rarity

[thecasinoroyale]

Live and Let Die with aspects of The Property of a Lady...a great novel, mixed with hints of what could have been Dalton's 3rd Bond movie, so that could be a great combo.



Do you think James Bond as a child cried upon hearing about the death of his parents....

YES - He let out his emotions, became weak in the depths of the Skyfall priest hole and used up his tears until he emerged

OR

NO - Too young to let his emotions run wild over him, he dealt with the loss in a more psycological way, leading to his hard-shell, yet fragile, mind

??

[Iceskater101]

Nope I think Bond did not have emotion because I don't picture him to have a lot of emotion.

What is the sexist thing that a Bond girl can wear?

A sexy lacey dress like the one Severine was wearing in the casino? Or something casual like Eve wearing just a plain jacket and tight jeans??

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be a sexy lacey dress like our girl Severine!


Is Daniel Craig over-rated as James Bond?

YES - He's really good in the role with solid films, but he's not the be all and end all of the franchise and he will simply be 'another Bond'

OR

NO - He saved the franchise from a dark future and has launched 007 into new territory that no-one else could have done

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Yes, overrated I don't doubt he's a great actor that's just me.

Would you rather Craig leave the role to early OR stick around for one to many?

[The Dove]

Rather have him stick around for one too many..

David Arnold to return for Bond 24 OR have some other composer have a crack at doing it?

[thecasinoroyale]

If it's not Newman, get David Arnold back!


Have we got the James Bond we knew in the 60s-90s in the current guise of Daniel Craig...

YES - It's the same 007, the same attitudes and same winning forumla, just packaged slightly differently

OR

NO - The character has changed, and it's a new era with lots of classic ties cut to what has been

??

[The Dove]

YES- It's the same character just packaged differently..

No more Purvis and Wade for the Bond films...are you: It's time, a change of writers once in a while helps keep the Bond franchise fresh OR No, bring them back..let them continue now that they've achieved greatness (along with John Logan) with Skyfall?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I'm tempted to say bring them back and let them continue their stories and understanding of the characters! New writers always strike fear in me for a while, like new directors, until I suppose we see the goods and they've proven themselves.


Would you sacrifice a Christmas holiday for a National James Bond holiday?

YES - James Bond appreciation globally beats the fat jolly bearded bloke anyday, and it will be less commercial!

OR

NO - Father Christmas is the only man who can defeat 007 for a holiday, so he'll have to wait!

??

[S K Y F A L L]

No,

Do you think the Quantum story line is finished OR that they will go back to in in Bond 24 or 25?

[Iceskater101]

I believe it to be finished.

What was the worst part about Quantum for you?

The villain being unrelatable and rather boring or the storyline felt too rushed and was a little confusing.

[S K Y F A L L]

The story felt too rushed and was a little confusing but they can always just blame the writers strike on it.

Timothy Dalton's Miss Moneypenny 'Caroline Bliss'

OR

Brosnan's Moneypenny 'Samantha Bond' ?

[The Dove]

Brosnan's Moneypenny, Samantha Bond!

Which superstar, action-hero would have worked better in a Bond film...Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis OR Sylvester Stallone?

[thecasinoroyale]

Just because I love him, has to be Arnold Schwarzenegger as some power-mad Bond villain - that would be a dream!

If you had to buy James Bond a Christmas present, what would you choose...

Luxury Shortbread fingers in a tartan tin

OR

A bottle of brandy

??

[S K Y F A L L]

Brandy seems like a safe bet.

Which theme song do you like more; You Know My Name OR Skyfall ?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh tough one! I have to say 'Skyfall' - the menace, espionage, excitement and danger you take from the song relates so well to the film more than 'You Know My Name', but that too was a cracking introduction for 007 once more.


Which is the better action sequence -

Bond and the Mujahadin vs the Russian army in 'The Living Daylights'

OR

Bond and the submarine crews vs Stromberg's army in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

??

[The Dove]

Have to go with Bond and the submarine crews vs Stromberg's army in TSWLM..

Non-traditional casino scenes in Bond films...which looked better...Bond following Andrea in the Macau casino in The Man With The Golden Gun OR Bond and Eve in the Macau casino in Skyfall?
