Die Another Day. I really like the hovercraft chase and the PTS is definitely one of the highlights of that film.

 

 

Diamonds Are Forever. Do you think-

Connery performed as well as he could and it's the script that makes it fail

OR

It feels more like a Roger Moore Bond film and Moore could've improved it slightly if they had cast him

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think Connery performed as well as he could, and it was a script issue that wasn't to standard. It was fun, but Connery was doing the motions I feel.

 

 

Best 'Quantum Of Solace' fist fight:

 

Bond vs Slate in the hotel room

 

 

OR

 

 

Bond vs Greene in the eco-hotel interior

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Bond vs. Greene. I thought Greene put up a good, if futile, fight.

 

 

 

You Only Live Twice. Do you-

Like it the way it is with the Volcano lair being a classic Bond set piece

OR

No, it should've followed the plot of the novel

?

[AMC Hornet]

Volcano all the way. It means that the Garden of Death could still appear some day.

 

Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton or Denise Richards as Christmas Jones?

 

Be honest now.

[thecasinoroyale]

HONESTLY....counting all things you do for a Bond girl like looks, personality, looks, use in the field, annoyance, looks....I have to go for Christmas Jones. I don't find her as annoying as Stacey, and she's a little easier on the eye, but I turn off when she opens her mouth.

 

Best 'Skyfall' fist fight:

 

Bond vs Patrice on the Turkish train

 

 

OR

 

Bond vs Patrice in the Shanghai skyscraper

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

The fight on the train. Anytime a train is involved, the scene is ten times better.

 

 

 

Live and Let Die. Should Felix-

Have been attacked by the shark and lost his arm and leg like in the novel

OR

No, it's a good thing they saved it for Licence to Kill

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Have to say it would have been to graphic for Moore's debut and may not have made his run as fun as it was, so it was saved perfectly for Dalton IMO.

 

 

Best gun play in 'Dr.No'...

 

Bond vs Professor Dent

 

  

 

OR

 

Bond and Quarrel vs The Dragon

 

 

??

[The Dove]

Hands down, Bond shooting Prof. Dent..just classic Fleming!

 

 

Which works or worked better for you in terms of kicking off a Bond film...seeing the United Artists logo, seeing the MGM Lion roar logo OR seeing the Columbia/Sony statue lady logo before the film begins?

[AMC Hornet]

"United Artists

Entertainment from Transamerica Corporation"

 

Glastron Boat Jump or my namesake's barrel roll?

[seawolfnyy]

The barrel roll.

 

 

For Your Eyes Only. Is it-

One of the better ones and a return to form after the bizarre and ridiculous Moonraker

OR

Overrated because it is a more realistic film after the aforementioned Moonraker

?

[AMC Hornet]

Over-rated.

 

TSWLM ski jump or the GoldenEye bungee jump?

[DominicGreene]

Goldeneye bungee Jump—seemed to be much more cooler, from what Bond was wearing, to the score.

 

 

 

GOLDENEYE'S gunbarrel

 

OR

 

GOLDFINGER'S gunbarrel?

Edited by DominicGreene, 29 January 2013 - 12:50 AM.

[seawolfnyy]

Goldfinger's gunbarrel.

 

 

 

Goldeneye. Is it-

A great film in its own right

OR

Overrated for the long gap between it and LTK and much of the praise for the film comes from praise for the game

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...I feel it does drag in places. It's a very good film, not great....so I think it's over-rated, just praise coming for the return of Bond himself in any guise. Almost like 'Casino Royale' now being seen as good, but not great and also over-rated.

 

 

Best gun play in 'From Russia With Love'...

 

Bond and Kerim vs Krilencu and his thugs at the Gypsy camp

 

 

OR

 

Bond and Kerim take out Krilencu with the sniper rifle

 

 

??

[Walecs]

Bond and Kerim take out Krilencu with the sniper rifle. She should have kept her mouth shut.
 

 

Diamonds Are Forever

 

is a good novel...

 

or is the movie better?

[seawolfnyy]

Definitely the novel. Just finished reading it again last night. I find it to be one of Fleming's best.

 

 

 

Goldfinger.

Iconic

OR

Overrated

?

[The Dove]

Iconic..

 

 

Jamaica as a Bond location...better in Dr. No OR Live and Let Die?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be 'Dr.No' - iconic and really uses the country to full potential.

 

Best gun play in 'Goldfinger'...

 

US Army vs Goldfinger's troops in and around Fort Knox

 

 

OR

 

Goldfinger vs Bond in the airplane

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Probably the US Army against Goldfinger's troops. Although neither are particularly great.

 

 

 

Tomorrow Never Dies.

Underrated

OR

A misfire

?

[MajorBoothroyd]

Goldeneye's one. Brilliant, if a bit, er, bizarre with Bond magically able to get in the plane before it crashes, and steer it back up again.

 

 

Best Old School Villain:

Goldfinger

OR

Blofeld

[thecasinoroyale]

What were you answering Major!

 

Yours has to be Blofeld - the stuff of iconic villains with the simple suit, the scar and the cat. It's hard to picture a classic super villain without thinking of him!

 

 

Best gun play in 'Thunderball'...

 

Bond vs Vargas on the beach

 

 

OR

 

Bond and NATO vs Largo and SPECTRE underwater

 

 

??

[Walecs]

Bond vs. Largo on the beach, because I like the whole beach scene a lot, probably my favourite of the movie, and because I find the underwater scenes (final battle included) so boring.

 

 

The World Is Not Enough PTS:

 

Is it too long (it means the song would play after the Spain scene and before Thames' chase)?

 

or

 

It's perfect as it is?

[thecasinoroyale]

I think it's a great sequence but think it does go too long for a PTS - I think it would have been a great little action sequence and stunt work just in Bilbao with a blistering opening theme and THEN throw us striaght into the chase rather than almost peak too soon for a longer first half of the film.

 

 

Bond vs Osato's thugs at the Ning-Po dock...

 

 

OR

 

Bond and the ninjas vs SPECTRE in the volcano base

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Bond vs. the SPECTRE baddies in the volcano base.

 

So seeing as it wasn't answered....

 

Tomorrow Never Dies.

Underrated

OR

A Misfire

?

[The Dove]

Underrated...(For a time, it was my #1 favorite Bond film...that changed though in 2006 when Casino Royale came out.. )

 

Which had the worse final, Bond vs villain battle... Bond vs Renard in TWINE OR Bond vs Graves in DAD?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be Bond and Renard - devoid of tension, full of over acting.

 

 

Best gun play in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'...

 

Bond on ice

OR

 

Bunt takes out Tracy

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Bond on ice. Always liked that scene and the assault on Piz Gloria is one of my all-time favorite scenes from the Bond series.

 

 

 

Skyfall. Will it-

Stay loved and adored even after all the hype dies down

OR

People will turn on it and become critical as happens with a number of (and some undeservedly so) high-profile films *cough* Titanic *cough*

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I think people will turn on it after time since once its released to dvd/BR we'll have more time to tear it apart. 

 

Are you getting the SF DVD or Blue Ray?

[AMC Hornet]

Combo pack, if there is one, since I got the Bond 50 BluRay set for Christmas and already have the UE DVDs.

 

Otherwise, BluRay first, then DVD when the price goes down.

 

Jill St. John as Tiffany Case or Lois Chiles as Holly Goodhead?

[seawolfnyy]

Jill St. John. She fills out a bikini better.

 

 

 

Thunderball.

Classic

OR

Ridiculous

?
