Steve from Munich. He'd be a worthy adversary for Craig's Bond.

 

 

The ending theme for Casino Royale 2:

Chris Cornell singing a love ballad

OR

Adele singing a heavy metal rock song

?

[Eric Stromberg]

Definitiely Chris Cornell singing a love ballad at the end of Casino Royale 2: DIMT

 

YOU choose the ballad...

 

"You Needed Me" (Anne Murray 1978)

 

or

 

"Up Where We Belong" (From An Officer and a Gentleman, 1982)

[S K Y F A L L]

LOL Up Where We Belong.

 

Villain Fight Club #4: Sandor, Stormberg's henchman (TSWLM) VS Gobinda, Khan's bodyguard (OP)?

[seawolfnyy]

Gobinda.

 

 

In Casino Royale 2, Bond has battle of wits against the film's villain. Do they:

 

play Call of Duty and yell at each other like immature 12 year olds

OR
play an intense game of HORSE

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Play an intense game of HORSE. Could even beat the poker game from 'Casino Royale' itself.

 

 

Do you think James Bond should ever appear in a cross-over with another film one time in the future?

 

YES - It's the "in" thing to do and can widen his appeal and excitement to other audiences and films

 

OR

 

NO - He's not set in an obviously fictional world. He's as real as he can be and not going to mix with other film creations

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

NO - nobody could afford to co-opt Eon's property. Besides, it was the 'in' thing to do in the sixties, where enough lookalikes (some even billed as 007) appeared in foreign films. All you need do is stick a guy in a tux and a DB5 in your film and the connection will be made (e.g.: xXx). George Lazenby made a modest career out of lending some tongue-in-cheek gravitas to just such productions all through the 80s.

 

Another gadget-laden Aston Martin

or

Another gadget-laden Omega watch?

[S K Y F A L L]

A watch for Bond 24 and then a Aston Martin with gadgets in Bond 25. 

 

 

Bond Fight Club #5:  

 

Hans (YOLT), Erich Kriegler (FYEO) and Stamper (TND) VS May Day (AVTAK) Xenia (GE) Wai Lin (TND) ? 

[AMC Hornet]

The guys - the girls' feminine wiles wouldn't work on any of them.

 

For B24:

 

More Vesper Martinis or more Bollinger Champagne?

[Eric Stromberg]

I know these are supposed to be tough choices BUT...making me choose between Vesper Martinis and Bollinger Champagne?  Nefarious.  I'll take the Vesper Martini to make a reappearance; since Casino Royale 2 is the next movie it seems appropriate.

 

Back to Casino Royale 2: DIMT

 

Bond and his SBS team are foiled and captured in Norway.  The military chaps are released but 007 is drugged and awakes to an eery, Kubrick-esque scene.  He is in a large room that looks nothing like a cell.  There are no apparent doors, but it is a posh and exact recreation of the Montenegro casino room (with the same bar) from Casino Royale.  His exact dinner jacket and other clothes hang near the bar.  Exactly seven Vesper Martinis are lined up like good soldiers on the bar and one of them has a necklace around the stem.

 

The villian (played deliciously by Alan Arkin) has done this because:

 

He had a personal connection to one of the card players in the gallery and lost something very important to him because of Bond's rather fortuitous win.  He means for 007 to replay the game with his life as table stakes.

 

OR

 

The game James won has become legendary among inner circles of high stakes gamblers.  Our antagonist is paying homage and wants to recreate the conditions of the game, perhaps rattling 007 and finding out if Bond can be manipulated and turned to his purposes.

[thecasinoroyale]

The game James won has become legendary among inner circles of high stakes gamblers.  Our antagonist is paying homage and wants to recreate the conditions of the game, perhaps rattling 007 and finding out if Bond can be manipulated and turned to his purposes. Sounds rather interesting.

 

 

The most useless disguise ever used by James Bond was -

 

The pudding bowl haircut and bushy eyebrows in 'You Only Live Twice'.

 

OR

 

The plastic third nipple in 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

 

??

 

[AMC Hornet]

The "I think I'm turning Japanese - not' disguise in YOLT.

Bond didn't need to 'disguise' himself as Scaramanga, as there was no photograph of him on file - although everyone seemed to know about his superfluous papila. It would have worked, too - if Hai Fat hadn't already met the real McCoy.

 

For B24:

Another ski scene

or

another scuba scene

?

?

Well I would love to see either, especially scuba, but I think it's unlikely we fans will see them; the creative team doesn't seem to keen on covering old ground and I respect that approach, too.  I also have a hard time seeing Craig on skis for some reason.

 

For B24:

 

007 physically bulked up again like his young days in Casino Royale

 

OR

 

a leaner, more sculpted Bond as in the past couple of films?

[The Dove]

I kind of like the leaner, more sculpted Bond..

 

 

Bond partakes in an X-Games-style stunt chase in Bond 24...should it be... BMX bike OR half-pipe snowboarding??

[seawolfnyy]

Half-pipe snowboarding. We need a truly great snowboarding scene in a film....one without California Girls.

 

 

 

If Loelia Ponsonby were cast in Bond 24:

 

Jenna Louise-Coleman

OR

Felicity Jones

?

[S K Y F A L L]

Felicity Jones

 

Bond Fight Club #6:  Francisco Scaramanga's golden gun VS Brad Whitaker's 80 (TLD)?

[AMC Hornet]

Scaramanga - he only needs one.

 

David Tennant as 007

or

Pierce Brosnan as the Doctor

?

[seawolfnyy]

Pierce as The Doctor. I think that's a role that could fit him.

 

 

 

Rosamund Pike as Rose Tyler

OR

Billie Piper as Miranda Frost

?

[Eric Stromberg]

I'll take Rosamund Pike.  She is so damn hot, especially for an English girl.

 

It's your lucky weekend as you have the opportunity to select from one of two bed and breakfast trip companions...

 

A delicious and sensual Eva Green

 

OR

 

A salacious and eager Olga Kurylenko?

[seawolfnyy]

Eva Green...duh.

 

 

Matt Damon as Bond

OR

Daniel Craig as Bourne

?

[The Dove]

Both are perfect as they are but of the two mix-ups, I'd be curious to see how Daniel Craig would approach playing Jason Bourne..

 

 

Potential Bond #7s....Karl Urban OR Henry Cavill ??

[seawolfnyy]

Henry Cavill. He has the look of Bond.

 

 

 

Which Bond girl would you more like to see return for another film?

Rosamund Pike

OR

Stana Katic

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I'll go for Stana Katic, as her character left the film breathing and she could be a good ally for Bond.

 

 

What is James Bond's biggest achilles heel...

 

His devotion to the job

 

OR

 

His coldness doing the job

 

??

[S K Y F A L L]

His devotion. "time enough for one shot: the girl or the mission?"

 

If they made a Bond television show:

 

A live action TV movie series of all the Fleming novels 

 

OR 

 

A Cartoon of all the other Bond novels?

[seawolfnyy]

A live action series of the Fleming novels. The FYEO compilation was based off ideas for television episodes anyway.

 

 

More gratuitous pun:

"He must have found me quite titillating!"

OR

"You always were a cunning linguist, James."

?

[AMC Hornet]

"Cunning linguist" was already an old joke in '97.

 

Which would have incensed the censors more:

 

"Pussy Galore's flying Circus: See their array of cunning stunts!"

 

or

 

"One of the porters is a fan. He'll do anything for me - and I'll do anything for you."

"Right - shift over, then."

[seawolfnyy]

"Right-shift over then."

 

 

 

Robert Downey Jr. as Bond

OR

Daniel Craig as Iron Man

?

[thecasinoroyale]

"Pussy Galore's flying Circus: See their array of cunning stunts!"

 

  I had to re-read that twice without twisting it...!

 

 

Seawolf, I go for Daniel Craig as 'Iron Man'. I'll never let RDJ go near Bond as long as I live!

 

 

Would James Bond have worked were it set in and around a futuristic Earth?

 

YES - Bond will work in any decade, any generation and even in the future with spacecraft and intergalactic travel, Bond will save the day

 

OR

 

NO - There is a limit, and modern day current affairs ground Bond and make him work so well. Take that away, we lose him.

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

We nearly lost 007 in Moonraker - leave outer space to that other James and his crew (at least until such time as space travel is the norm, and Bond is still on the scene).

 

For B24:

 

Adele as a Bond girl

or

Daniel Craig singing the theme song

?

[The Dove]

Adele as a Bond girl...I could see it... as for Mr. Craig singing the theme song..umm..no..he did a fine job singing "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" in "Munich" but I don't think that's quite the same as singing a Bond theme..

 

Bond 24...are you of the opinion that...A. As long as the gunbarrel is back at the start of the film, the rest of the film could be total crap for all I care OR B. Who cares about where the damn gunbarrel is?? I want a solid, and good quality Bond film! 

 

( I take option B, myself...)

[Eric Stromberg]

I'm with you, Dove.  Who cares about the bloody gunbarrel scene?

 

Craig ditches the sculpted physique of QoS and SF, so...

 

Beefy Bond twenty pounds heavier than CR with spiky hair again

 

OR

 

Super lean Bond like Cowboys & Aliens with a shaved head?
