Skyfall.

 

Villain with the most over the top scheme:

Gustave Graves in DAD

OR

Auric Goldfinger in Goldfinger

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Has to be  Gustav Graves, added to the fact he is so over-the-top also makes it more OTT. At least Auric Goldfinger kept his mouth and mind under control. 

 

Best gun-play in 'The Living Daylights'...

 

Bond turns sniper in Czekoslovakia

 

 

OR

 

Bond confronts Pushkin in the hotel suite

 

 

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond turns sniper..

 

 

Skydiving moments in the Bond films...Bond and Felix skydiving into Felix's wedding after capturing Sanchez in LTK OR the HALO skydive in TND?

[Eric Stromberg]

Bond turns sniper..

 

 

Skydiving moments in the Bond films...Bond and Felix skydiving into Felix's wedding after capturing Sanchez in LTK OR the HALO skydive in TND?

I can't in good conscience pick anything good out of LTK so definitely the HALO jump in TND.

 

Jim Harbaugh as the next 007 super villian (dressed in a black latex rubber suit)

 

or

 

Shannon Sharpe dubs Daniel Craig's voice in the next film!

[thecasinoroyale]

Well that's certainly random!! We can't have Shannon voice DC, so sadly I got for Jim Harbaugh as the next villain!

 

Best gun-play in 'Licence To Kill'...

 

 

Bond turns fisherman with the speargun

 

 

OR

 

Bond turns sniper again to Sanchez

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Well that's certainly random!!

(Damn, it's been like 8 years since I've heard someone say that. )

 

 

Bond with the spear gun. He failed as a sniper in LTK.

 

For Bond 24:

No gunbarrel

OR

Gunbarrel at the end

?

[Iceskater101]

what? i hate both of these options. I will have to go with at the end though.. if they took out the gun barrel I would be pissed!

 

Best LTK death?

 

Sanchez being lit on fire? or Dario being shredded?

[The Dove]

Dario being shredded...

 

 

Le Chiffre from Casino Royale...Peter Lorre (1954), Orson Welles (1967) OR Mads Mikkelsen (2006) ??

[seawolfnyy]

Mads Mikkelsen.

 

 

In Skyfall, does Silva:

Win because M dies

OR

Lose because he dies

?

[MajorBoothroyd]

Well of course he loses because he dies. Don't all villains technically lose when they die anyway?

 

Bond Film that feels the most dated now:

 

LALD

OR

Goldfinger?

[thecasinoroyale]

Good one...hm, I feel he loses because he dies. Granted, I feel he would sacrifice himself for his mission BUT I don't think he wanted to die at the hands of Bond and without managing to kill M himself under his own hand for his own reason. Quite a damaged man our Silva!

 

Best gun-play in 'GoldenEye'...

 

Bond and Trevelyan infiltrate the Russian Chemical Facility

 

 

OR

 

Bond and Trevelyan battle on the Cuban cradle

 

 

??

[MajorBoothroyd]

Good one...hm, I feel he loses because he dies. Granted, I feel he would sacrifice himself for his mission BUT I don't think he wanted to die at the hands of Bond and without managing to kill M himself under his own hand for his own reason. Quite a damaged man our Silva!

 

Whoops!

 

Erm, anyway, Alec and Bond on the cradle. Fantastic scene, and it's exciting every time, though the facility gunfight was excellent in its own right.

 

I'll post a new this or that when you reply to mine.

[thecasinoroyale]

Ah sorry Major! Missed your reply/question - in response to yours, I go for 'Live And Let Die', which I like far more than 'Goldfinger' but I feel you can really feel the blaxploitation 70s vibe through the film with the fashion, music and locations which stand-out so much more than 'Goldfinger's 60s attire which isn't as in your face.

 

Best gun-play in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'...

 

Bond unleashes hell at the Terrorist Bazaar

 

 

OR

 

Bond and Wai Lin unleash hell on Carver's Stealth ship

 

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond unleashing hell at the Terrorist Supermarket..

 

 

The most undignified moment for Bond in Octopussy...commanding the tiger to SIT!! OR Swinging on the vines and screaming like Tarzan??

[thecasinoroyale]

Oh dear, it has to be the Tarzan yell - no need to add that SFX!

 

 

Best gun-play in 'The World Is Not Enough'...

 

The Cigar Girl attacks Bond on and off the River Thames

 

 

OR

 

Bond battles the helicopter attack on the Caspian Sea

??

[seawolfnyy]

Good one...hm, I feel he loses because he dies. Granted, I feel he would sacrifice himself for his mission BUT I don't think he wanted to die at the hands of Bond and without managing to kill M himself under his own hand for his own reason. Quite a damaged man our Silva!

Yea, this happens a lot. Anyhoo....

 

Bond battles the helicopter on the Caspian. One of my favorite sequences in the whole film.

 

 

In Skyfall does Bond:

Succeed in his mission for killing Silva

OR

Fail his mission in letting M die

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Best gun-play in 'Die Another Day'...

 

Bond battles through the mine field

 

 

 

OR

 

Bond defends MI6 in training

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

You just copied exactly what you put in your earlier post!

[MajorBoothroyd]

Bond battles through the mine field. Great action sequence.

 

Casting choices:

Dalton to reprise Bond another three times after LTK

OR

Donald Pleasance to reprise the role of Blofeld in OHMSS?

[thecasinoroyale]

Sorry seawolf - I thought it was the same question!! Let me go back and say I feel he did succeed his mission of killing Silva before he killed M and brought down MI6, but at the same time suffered major collateral damage with M being caught in the crossfire, almost with the lucky shot that fatally wounded her, so I can't see he failed, but he certainly suffered a big loss.

 

For your question Major, no hesitation in having Dalton back as Bond for 3 times. If only...

 

 

Best gun-play in 'Casino Royale'...

 

Bond escapes the Nambutu embassy with Mollaka

 

 

OR

 

Bond fights to reach Vesper in the Venician house

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond escaping the embassy with Mollaka...

 

 

Which was cheesier....the Broadway-show tune version of "Nobody Does it Better" at the end of The Spy Who Loved Me OR the disco version of "Moonraker" at the end of Moonraker?

[seawolfnyy]

The disco version of Moonraker.

 

 

 

Better ending:

Bond sneaking into Kara's dressing room in TLD

OR

Bond jumping over the balcony into the pool for Pam in LTK

?

[thecasinoroyale]

That disco version of 'Moonraker' was bloody amazing! How can you pick that over that embarrasing sailor rendition of 'TSWLM'.... aggh! *rant over* 

 

 

Best ending? Bond jumping over the balcony into the pool - a neat little stunt to end the film!

 

 

Best gun-play in 'Quantum Of Solace'...

 

Bond chases Mitchell across Sienna

 

 

OR

 

Bond storms Perla de las Dunas

 

 

??

[MajorBoothroyd]

Bond chases Mitchell, baby.

 

Better Bond Director:

Guy Hamilton

OR

Terence Young?

[seawolfnyy]

That disco version of 'Moonraker' was bloody amazing! How can you pick that over that embarrasing sailor rendition of 'TSWLM'.... aggh! *rant over* 

Because I hate the Moonraker theme, that's why.

 

Terence Young.

 

better ending 2:

Bond carrying Natalya to the chopper, while she laughs and protests in GE

OR

Bond and Domino take a ride on the Sky Hook in TB

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond and Domino take a ride on the Sky Hook in 'Thunderball' - big, loud and very bombastic use of the Bond theme with a great stunt. The 'GoldenEye' ending's a little too "Live Happily Ever After" for me.

 

Best gun-play in 'Skyfall'...

 

Bond and Eve chase Patrice through Istanbul

 

OR

 

Bond, M and Kincade vs Silva and his men at Skyfall

 

??

[The Dove]

Bond and Eve chasing Patrice through the Istanbul marketplace is my favorite!

 

 

Bond "secondary-theme songs"...K.D. Lang's "Surrender" from Tomorrow Never Dies OR "If There Was A Man" by The Pretenders in The Living Daylights?

[seawolfnyy]

"Surrender." No contest. Really, it should be the main theme.

 

 

Better ending 3:

Bond and Kissy in the raft with the submarine surfacing beneath them in YOLT

OR

Bond telling his superiors he's "keeping the British end up" with Anya in TSWLM

?

[thecasinoroyale]

The classic keeping up of the British end I think! Great Moore fun.

 

 

The best action scenes in the Bond films are..

 

One on one / fist fights / combat

 

OR

 

Gun battle

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Tough one because it's hard to lump them all together, but I'll go with the gun fights.

 

 

 

Head of Quantum, should it be a:

Man

OR

Woman

?
