I have to good with the first when, when I was younger I never questions those things but now that I'm older I tend to notice them more. Dr. Jones was also the one who alerted them shortly after right. 

 

Which Bond 50 Anniversary special or documentary did you enjoy the most

 

Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story Of James Bond 

 

Or 

 

The Bond 50 Top Gear Special

 

? 

 

(sorry if you haven't seen either of them)

[thecasinoroyale]

Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story Of James Bond without doubt - a wonderful documentary and can't wait to own it.

 

 

If James Bond hadn't been written as a secret agent, but as something else in a series of adventures, what would you like to see him as...

 

A pirate in the 1800's

 

OR

 

A colonel in World War One

 

??

[The Dove]

Hmm..definitely can see James Bond as a Colonel in WWI...

 

 

Bond as a "Bourne C.I.A. operative"...do you see him more as an Operation Treadstone Agent (Bourne Identity - Ultimatum) OR Operation Outcome (Legacy where he is being genetically engineered to have superior abilities via green and blue pills) ??

[seawolfnyy]

Treadstone. Bond doesn't need pills to do what he does, well viagra pills maybe (at least Moore probably did ).

 

 

In a bit of alternate history:

The original Bond cinematic plan goes through and Thunderball is the first film, following Fleming's idea of a Film Noir-esque story.

Does Bond

Still take off the way it did and 50 years later is going stronger than ever

OR

The public doesn't take to Thunderball and series dies off for 20 years until Kevin McClory remakes Thunderball in the 1980s

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'd rather it still take off the way it did and 50 years later is going stronger than ever, but possibly a different timeline, rather than McClory get his hands dirty again and we suffer because of it.

 

 

What did James Bond prefer to do in the snow when he was a young boy at Skyfall Lodge?

 

Build snowmen and use his fathers hunting rifle to have target practice

 

OR

 

Tempt fate and skate across the frozen lake as many times as he could without it cracking

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Probably tempt fate by skating across the frozen lake. That sounds like him. He'd probably even wear nothing, but a bathing suit in freezing temperatures too.

 

 

Bigger plot hole #2:

How Blofeld seemingly hid building a spacecraft launch site in a hollowed out volcano in YOLT

OR

How Blofeld becomes an expert in curing allergies in OHMSS

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think how Blofeld becomes an expert in curing allergies in 'OHMSS' was the most strangest narrative idea, at least I could imagine SPECTRE going to hell on that volcano to make it a base.

 

Which 00-agent's death was the worst..

 

009 being chased down by Mishka and Grishka in Berlin, stabbed in the back, floating down a river, falling through a glass door and dying

 

OR

 

004 being sabotaged on Gibralter and having his climbing rope cut, falling down the cliff face to his death...and then jumped on by a monkey

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Probably 004 in Gibraltar. I wouldn't want a monkey to jump on my dead body.

 

 

Which non- Bond game feels more like a Bond adventure:

 

Splinter Cell

OR

Metal Gear Solid

?

[MajorBoothroyd]

I'll go Metal Gear Solid. Ben Whishaw's Q or Desmond Llewelyn's Q?

[seawolfnyy]

Desmond Llewellyn. Ben Whishaw will need to get at least 10 more films under his belt before he can be compared to Desmond.

 

 

Which Bond girl would Craig's Bond be less likely to put up with:

Tiffany Case

OR

Stacey Sutton

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Stacey Sutton - she didn't show any sort of strength, unlike Tiffany Case did in her attitude and her effort to help Bond. Both annoying, but Sutton more so.

 

 

What "classic" Bond touch would you like Daniel Craig's Bond to suddenly spring in Bond 24...

 

Slapping one of the Bond girls when she fights him and refuses to help

 

OR

 

Brandishing a silver cigarette case, taking one and smoking before going into a casino

 

??

[MajorBoothroyd]

This is gonna sound sexist, but have Bond do da slap.

 

Best Q Scene:

 

Goldeneye

 

OR

 

Goldfinger

[thecasinoroyale]

I think 'Goldfinger' - his cantankerous best, and showing off all the gadgets in the Aston is classic.

 

 

Which undercover role played by Q was the best:

 

The car rental man in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

 

OR

 

The gardener in 'Licence To Kill'

 

??

[MajorBoothroyd]

The gardener...classic broom walky talky.

 

 

Best Final Battle:

 

 

Alec Trevelyan vs Bond in GE

 

OR

 

Auric Goldfinger vs Bond in GF

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be the bone crunching, hate seething battle between Trevelyan and Bond in 'GoldenEye'

 

 

Best 'Dr.No' fist-fight:

 

Bond vs Quarrel and Pussfeller

 

OR

 

Bond vs Mr.Jones, the SPECTRE chauffeur

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Bond vs. Quarrel and Pussfeller. Takes slightly more skill on Bond's part, Pussfeller wrestles alligators after all.

 

 

Which Bond girl would Craig's Bond be less likely to put up with 2:

Mary Goodnight

OR

Bibi Dahl

?

[The Dove]

Probably Mary Goodnight...

 

 

Bond's and their vehicles mix-up... Daniel Craig driving the Moon buggy from DAF OR Pierce Brosnan driving the Wet Bike from TSWLM ??

[MajorBoothroyd]

Danny's moon buggy. One-liners: 'I think they were on their way to a funeral' or 'He blew a fuse.'

[thecasinoroyale]

"I think they were on their way to a funeral!" - Great improv from Connery.

 

 

Best 'Live And Let Die' fist-fight:

 

Bond vs Mr.Big's two goons in Harlem

 

OR

 

Bond vs Kananga in San Monique

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

I'd have to go with Bond vs Kananga because I always liked how Kananga waved that knife around. 

 

 

Goldeneye tank chase OR Tomorrow Never Dies BMW car chase? 

[seawolfnyy]

TND Motorcycle chase. Just because I absolutely love motorcycles.

 

 

 

Bond girl Craig's Bond would be less likely to put up with 3:

 

Miss Taro

OR

Helga Brandt

?

[The Dove]

Probably Miss Taro...

 

Roger's Bond in a hangglider...which looked cooler....Bond coasting into Kananga's island in LALD or Bond soaring over the waterfalls in MR?

[seawolfnyy]

Bond coasting into Kananga's island. Who else would smoke a cigar while hang gliding?

 

 

Better jet finale:

Goldfinger

OR

Octopussy

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to go with... 'Octopussy', just because of the great camera and stuntwork on show!

 

 

Best 'The Spy Who Loved Me' fist-fight:

 

Bond vs Sandor on the Egpytian rooftops

 

 

OR

 

Bond vs Jaws in the train carriage

 

 

??

[Iceskater101]

Bond vs. Jaws! for sure.

 

Did you think skyfall had too much action in it?

Yes way too much action, should make another bond film like From Russia with Love that focuses more on the story or no I love the direction that this is taking

 

(my friend thinks Skyfall has too much action in it)

[The Dove]

No, I love the direction that the series is taking..

 

 

When Skyfall is released on DVD and Blu-Ray on Feb. 12th, will you....be first in line before work or class to pick up your copy OR let the anticipation build up during the day and torture yourself during the day so that you must wait til work or class is over before rushing to your nearest retail outlet?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'll have to let the anticipation build all day as it should be on pre-order for when I get back from work, but it will be great to open it and hold it in my hands on that joyous day...!

 

 

Best 'A View To A Kill' fist-fight:

 

Bond vs the thugs in Stacey Sutton's house

 

 

OR

 

Bond vs Max Zorin on the Golden Gate Bridge

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Bond vs. Zorin on the Golden Gate.

 

 

Which non-Bond game feels more like a Bond adventure 2:

 

WinBack

OR

Black

?

[S K Y F A L L]

WinBack. 

 

 

Which is the better train fight; 

 

FRWL Bond vs Grant OR LALD Bond vs one armed henchmen ?

[seawolfnyy]

FRWL Bond vs. Grant.

 

 

 

Which non-Bond game feels more like a Bond adventure 3:

Contra

OR

Syphon Filter

?
