Trevelyan as the villain in SF trying to get revenge against M and facing off against Craig's Bond? I think Silva would walk over Brosnan's Bond too easily.
Who was mis-cast as the villain...
Jonathan Pryce as Carver in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'
OR
Robert Carlyle as Renard in 'The World Is Not Enough'
??
Commander
Posted 03 April 2013 - 04:20 PM
Definitely Robert Carlyle as Renard...a waste of a role for him, especially since Elektra King turns out to be the main villainess..
Which Bond looke more "out-of-place" trying to copy another Bond's habits... Lazenby driving an Aston Martin OR Moore drinking a vodka martini?
Commander
Posted 03 April 2013 - 06:22 PM
Lazenby, poor Lazenby got it the worst being the first to follow Connery's footsteps.
Coolest Villain Liar #7: Carver's Stealth Boat with big underwater drill (TND) OR Graves's 'air force one' like plane with Icarus satellite (DAD)?
Commander
Posted 03 April 2013 - 07:03 PM
Carver's boat, I hate that stupid plane.
Does Bond feel more at home in:
the 1960s
OR
the 2000s
?
Commander
Posted 03 April 2013 - 09:27 PM
Definitely the '60s, baby.
Don't we all?
Best 3rd entry:
Goldfinger
The Spy Who Loved Me
The World Is Not Enough
or
Skyfall
?
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 01:46 AM
The Spy Who Loved Me, Moore's overall best film.
Connery as Trevelyan
OR
Craig as Silva
?
Sub-Lieutenant
Posted 04 April 2013 - 02:46 AM
Craig as Silva
Can see him having a sick and twisted dark side.
Using all of their available resources, who would win an all out villain war?
Blofeld (from TB)
OR
Silva
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 03:27 AM
Blofeld.
Overall, smarter and a better survivor. He never put all his eggs in one basket.
On the other hand, if it came down to Blofeld vs Silva - at least Silva did manage to avenge himself on M, whereas Blofeld bungled his many chances to off 007.
Blofeld got many chances and blew them all - Silva had one and he blew it fatally.
(It helps to have been created by Fleming himself.)
The golden gun, disguised as everyday men's accessories
or
the folding sniper's rifle in a briefcase
?
Sub-Lieutenant

The golden gun, disguised as men's accessories.
So easy to conceal.
Who wins
Jaws
or
Nick Nack (with knife from the end of MWTGG)
?
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 05:08 AM
Jaws, but if it was a race then I'd say Nick Nack. Jaws runs like Frankenstein in comparison.
Bond 24 Director: Justin Lin from The Fast and Furious films or Paul W S Anderson from the Resident Evil movies?
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 08:08 AM
Urgh. If any, I'll go for Paul W S Anderson.
When the time comes for Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to leave the role as producers, who do you think will step up...
A continuing member of the current 'Bond production team'
OR
Someone new with connections to the franchise and studios
??
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 02:11 PM
My bet's on a continuing member of the Bond / Broccoli family will step into the role.. Both Michael's sons, David and Gregg have been involved with the films for a while.. Skyfall is Gregg's fifth film..worked himself up from assistant editor and script supervisor on TWINE and DAD up to Associate Producer on SF..
Bond series-interruptus...are you now glad for the various halts in production schedules (6 years between LTK and GE, 4 years between DAD and CR, and 4 years between QoS and SF) as it allowed the producers to take the proper amount of time to refocus and reenergize the Bond series OR No, I still feel that they could have gotten 1 or 2 more Bond films made during the gap years, regardless of the quality??
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 04:58 PM
I'm glad, we've gotten far superior films after the breaks. Look what happened when we were getting a film every two years for 23 years: MR, AVTAK, TMWTGG. After the long breaks though: GE, CR, SF....'nuff said.
Villain showdown 2:
Largo (TB)
vs
Drax (MR novel)
?
Commander
Posted 04 April 2013 - 09:53 PM
Have to give it to Largo, seems like hes been in a few fights were Drax I can't imagine having been in one.
Random villain casting: Robert Downing Jr OR Daniel Washington?
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 12:07 AM
Do you mean Robert DOWNEY Jr. and DENZEL Washington? I'll go with Denzel, could be a good cerebral villain.
Brosnan as Zorin
OR
Dalton as Le Chiffre
?
Sub-Lieutenant
Posted 05 April 2013 - 02:15 AM
Brosnan as Zorin.
Lord of the Rings migrant as a villain:
Andy Serkis
OR
Ian McKellen?
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 03:52 AM
McKellen - and I'll take Dalton as any villain.
While we're on the subject of potential villains:
John Malkovich
or
Kevin Spacey
?
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 04:04 AM
Malkovich, Spacey was a terrible Lex Luthor.
Moore as Carver
OR
Lazenby as Koskov
?
Sub-Lieutenant
Posted 05 April 2013 - 05:52 AM
Lazenby as Koskov.
Worst twist for the Bond series:
Turns out Dench's M wasn't dead after all and fights Mallory for the position
OR
Bond is an alien
?
Edited by MajorBoothroyd, 05 April 2013 - 05:52 AM.
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 07:19 AM
Not really a hard choice - obviously Bond is an alien!
Should Judi Dench's M....
Rightfully have been killed, helping bring a full circle to Craig's Bond story
OR
Have been able to go into retirement, away from the Service but well and alive
??
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 03:40 PM
She should have been allowed to retire, but...
She's dead, Jim.
David Tennant as 007
or
Daniel Craig as The Doctor
?
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 05:14 PM
Craig as the Doctor, that would be entertaining to see.
Judi Dench as Xenia
OR
Lois Maxwell as Bibi
?
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 06:15 PM
*shudders at the thought of either*... If I have to chose...A young Lois Maxwell as Bibi Dahl.
Boat stunts in a Bond film...which was cooler? The boat jump over Sheriff J.W.'s car in LALD OR the Q-Boat dive in the pre-titles of TWINE??
Commander
Posted 05 April 2013 - 08:02 PM
The Glastron GT 150 over the Sheriff's car there, Ed.
Nothing else comes close (except the Glastron-Carlson Scimitar in MR).
Best lifeboat rescue scene:
Dr. No
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
The Spy Who Loved Me
or
Tomorrow Never Dies
?
Commander
Posted 06 April 2013 - 04:21 AM
The Spy Who Loved Me. Classic Moore ending.
Betty White as Pussy Galore
OR
Jessica Walters as Elektra
?
Lt. Commander
Posted 06 April 2013 - 04:32 AM
This quickly boils down to Ursula Andress vs. Barbara Bach, and I'm gonna go with The Spy Who Loved Me because I'd rather be in linen with any Bond girl and Dom Perignon than any row boat, raft on a sub, or stealth boat debris, let alone a cable harness that would clearly break your back.
Better double bill:
Skyfall / Never Say Never Again
OR
Die Another Day / Skyfall
??
Commander
Posted 06 April 2013 - 07:00 AM
I'm really not a fan of NSNA so I'd have to say DAD and SF.
CR 54 OR CR 67?
Commander
Posted 06 April 2013 - 01:52 PM
54 - despite the Americanization and live TV production values, it is still a sincere attempt to act out the original story. One has to edit out about 1/2 of the Charles Feldman's effort to make it watchable.
Would Bond likely be:
A Trekkie, or
Like John McClane "more of a Star Wars guy"
?
Commander
Posted 06 April 2013 - 02:19 PM
Probably more of a Star Wars guy. I could see him being a fan of Han, whilst at the same time wanting to punch out William Shatner.
So, since it got skipped:
Betty White as Pussy Galore
OR
Jessica Walters as Elektra
?
Lt. Commander
Posted 06 April 2013 - 05:20 PM
Betty White as Pussy Galore would be pretty hilarious (are you listening, Mike Myers?) And sorry about the skip, seawolfnyy.
Skyfall anniversary references: Was Silva's island an homage to Scaramanga and The Man with The Golden Gun ?
Yes, it was subtle but intended.
OR
No, it was part of the scripted story and just a coincidence.
