Have to give it to Jaws and Bond - a classic confrontation between David and Goliath, and quite brutal in its own way. Smashed glass bottle over the head, kicked out of a window and heavy throws and punches. Plus the fact Jaws takes a bite out of a wooden table just for the sake of it to show off to Bond is great!

 

 

Best 'The Living Daylights' fist fight:

 

Bond vs the KGB agent on and in the Land Rover

OR

 

Bond vs Necros in and out of the Hercules

Bond vs. Necros, definitely one of the most iconic Bond stunts and remade for Uncharted 3.

 

 

 

Better choice for Bond 7:

Christian Bale

OR

Alex O'Loughlin

?

I'd say Christian Bale...Alex O' Laughlin OWNS the role of Steve McGarrett now and that is just fine with me.. Might be a bit tricky for him to try and take on 007 at the same time.

 

Andreas Wisnewski..did you like him more as Tony, the first terrorist that John McClane kills in the original "Die Hard" OR as Necros in "The Living Daylights" OR as the thug who blindfolds Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt in "Mission: Impossible" and "MI: Ghost Protocol" ?

Necros....duh.

 

 

Suppose EON were to go all George Lucas on us for Bond's 60th in 2022 and they update all of Bond's past adventures.

Yes, the definitely need especially some of the older ones

OR

Hell NO, Lucas screwed Star Wars to the point it is almost unrecognizable and the same would happen to Bond

I'd say no. I reckon the datedness makes them interesting to watch.

 

Most One-Sided Death Scene:

 

Elliot Carver's death in TND

 

OR

 

Kananga's death in LALD

Not quite sure what you mean by one-sided, maybe that Bond had complete control? If that's the case, then Kananga's death as there is no way he could stop himself from blowing up after he swallowed that pellet.

 

 

Who would've made a better Bond girl:

Claudia Cardinale

OR

Angelina Jolie

?

That description is pretty much what I'm talking about.

 

Erm, I'd go Claudia Cardinale (I had to Google her, does that count as cheating?)

 

Most, er, 'Special' Villain (as in disturbing):

 

Silva in Skyfall (he even touches Bond's leg.... gee whiz)

 

OR

 

Baron Samedi in Live and Let Die

No, I rather like the fight at the Afghan air base even if the fight against Whitaker is anti-climactic.

 

 

 

Better score:

Casino Royale

OR

Skyfall

?

Tough one, I don't particularly like either of the scores more or less then the other but I would have to give the edge to CR because I like the title song.

 

 

Which Ski Chase do you enjoy the most; OHMSS or FYEO?

'For Your Eyes Only' - down an Olympic ski jump, across a chalet and table, and down a taboggan course, and being chased by a bike? Pure Bond!

 

 

Best 'Licence To Kill' fist fight:

 

Bond vs the swordfish in the bar

Bond vs Dario. A bit more brutal. Which film most deserves to be included in the National Film Registry in America? Goldfinger Or Goldeneye

Both deserving, but have to say 'Goldfinger' as it really was a benchmark in spy/action films and made with such passion in 1964 which was something the world hadn't seen before.

 

 

Best 'GoldenEye' fist fight:

 

Bond and Natalya vs Xenia in the jungle

Gotta go for the DB5 for sheer style and surprise, but not by much as we can't forget the cement sprayer exhaust pipes and the rocket launcher and mine deployer, as well as the submarine, for the Lotus!

 

 

Best 'Tomorrow Never Dies' fist fight:

 

Bond vs the guards around CMGN Hamburg

Pierce-Brosnan-as-James-Bond-in-United-A

Wai Lin vs Carver's thugs in Stealth Boat

Have to say Bond being chased and fighting Carver's goons at the CMGN headquarters in Hamburg was better.

 

Craig's Bond fight moments...which did you like better... Bond simply throwing the empty gun back at Mollaka and knocking him off the crane in Casino Royale OR Bond disabling the two corrupt Police officers who pull him and Camille over and discover Mathis' body in his car in Quantum of Solace?

I do like his disarming and erasing the two corrupt police officers in 'Quantum Of Solace'. It was a brief, brilliant moment of dark Bond, showing his skill and coldness, and emotion.

 

 

Best 'The World Is Not Enough' fist fight:

 

Bond vs Lachaise and his goons in Bilbao

Bond vs. Lachaise and I only say that because everytime I watch the Bond/Renard fight, I can't get over the fact that it so obvious that they are not choking each other.

 

 

Better card game:

Bond vs. Largo in Thunderball

OR

Bond vs. Xenia in Goldeneye

?

Bond vs Largo, I love Goldeneye but for me that scene with Xenia isn't as much about the cards as it is about Bond finding out more about her IMO.

Definitely The Spy Who Loved me pre-titles...hmm..and exciting ski jump - parachute sequence vs Jaws flapping his arms like a stupid bird and crashing through the circus tent...LOL.

 

Bond sound tracks...do you prefer having the title song released seperately like Chris Cornell and Adele did OR have the title song included on the soundtrack album?

I am easy either way, but admit I do like them to be on the soundtrack to make one whole audio representation of the film.

'A View To A Kill' - great action and good stunt work, better than the boring 'TMWTGG' effort.

Although the DN scene is a piece of cinematography history, Roger Moore loosing at gin is pretty funny. I believe it was gin. 

 

Brosnan Pre Title Sequence Show Down #2:

 

Goldeney (blowing up a Russian facility and making an escape)
