The Heineken, it worked in Skyfall (for the money, not actually contributing anything to the film).

 

 

Whilst Bond is in Hawaii, what Hawaiian custom should we see him take part in:

a luau on the beach

OR

battling the villain in a surfing contest

?

[thecasinoroyale]

A luau on the beach - Craig's Bond could pull this off without bad memories of 'Die Another Day' surfing, and it could lead to a good confrontation!

 

 

'The Spy Who Loved Me' -

 

One of the usual over-rated Bond films

 

OR

 

One of the greatest Bond films

 

??

[AMC Hornet]

One of the greatest for me. (but then I tend to over-rate DAF, LALD, TMWTGG & DAD as well).

 

Following the trend from Skyfall with the DB5, should Bond

 

dust off the Lotus Esprit and trash it too

or

dust off the Aston Martin Vantage and trash it, too

?

[seawolfnyy]

Dust off the Lotus and trash it. Could be fun watching a drunken Bond stumbling into Q's lab and destroying it in a drunken stupor.

 

 

 

Continuing with Skyfall's trend, which character should be killed off next:

Felix

OR

Tanner

?

[Eric Stromberg]

No way in hell I am letting a brother from Langley go down...so I guess Tanner is your huckleberry

 

Tanner is killed suddenly and violently in the next movie...

 

when he is killed in a gunfight with Quantum operatives masquerading as terrorists

 

OR

 

when he is strangled by M after losing his boss's golf bag?

Edited by Eric Stromberg, 15 May 2013 - 08:36 PM.

[The Dove]

As much as I would find Tanner being strangled by M amusing, have to go with the more likley-to-happen being killed in a gunfight with Quantum operatives..

 

 

Which "classic" MI6 character or former ally of Bond would you like to see re-cast and brought back into the fold for Craig's 007....Minister Freddy Grey OR Jack Wade of the C.I.A ??

[seawolfnyy]

Minister Grey. Jack Wade shouldn't have even returned for TND.

 

 

 

Have we seen the last of Quantum?

Yes, that storyline died in the 6 years between the events of QoS and SF

OR

No, EON will give it the proper wrap-up that SPECTRE never got

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Yes, that storyline died in the 6 years between the events of QoS and SF. I hope anyway, it's been proved Quantum didn't work and isn't needed.

 

 

Will Craig ever go up against a real dangerous group of enemies, like a SPECTRE organisation that is actually decent?

 

NO - He had Quantum and it didn't work so he's sticking to your run-of-the-mill villains, each unique to the story

 

OR

 

YES - His Bond is more complex and so a ring of villains is soon to appear and make his life a lot more difficult

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes - his Bond is more complex and a ring of villains is soon to appear and make his life a lot more difficult.

I think signing John Logan to write multiple films means, while we won't get direct sequels, I think there will be a loose story connecting each film. We might get a Quantum-esque enemy even if Quantum is dead.

 

After seeing John Harrison (for those of us that have gotten to see Star Trek Into Darkness), where would Benedict Cumberbatch fit into the Bond universe:

He would make an excellent 007, emotional and violent and a worthy successor to Daniel Craig

OR

A cerebral, physical and scary villain that could rival the Red Grants and Raoul Silvas as the best that the 007 franchise has to offer

?

[Eric Stromberg]

Hmmm...interesting idea.  I'm going to bend the rules a bit and say

 

A cerebral, violent and scary 007

 

Benedict Cumberbatch is a good enough actor to pull either role off.  He'd be a really interesting follow-on to DC's physical take on 007.  Would be the kind of guy who toys with his kills.

 

Better movie to have on in the background while shagging an old flame (based on a true event, of course)

 

Octopussy

 

OR

 

The Man With The Golden Gun?

[Trevelyan 006]

Oh, Octopussy. Virtually a no-brainer. 

More romantic film in comparison I think. 

 

You are forced to only watch one era of Bond's movies for the rest of your days, do you pick:

 

Connery Era films

 

OR

 

Craig Era films? 

[seawolfnyy]

That's a very tough one. As much as I love Daniel and CR, QoS and SF I gotta go with the Connery films. James Bond just belongs in the 60s.

 

 

 

If Bond had access to the TARDIS, would he go back in time to:

2006 and prevent Vesper's death

OR

the early 1500s and shag the Boleyn girls

?

[S K Y F A L L]

I would have to say 2006 and prevent Vesper's death and then afterward possibly prevent M's death in SF.

 

 

If Nolan was to direct Bond 24 would you rather have; 

 

his brother write the script OR Hans Zimmer compose the music ?

[Eric Stromberg]

Nolan's brother write the script.  I have liked some of Zimmer's compositions but I don't like him as a choice for Bond.

 

More acceptable, slightly metrosexual activity for Bond in the next film...

 

A bit of yoga for strengthening and conditioning, mixed with boxing

 

OR

 

Bond eating vegan after an afternoon at the shooting range?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Vegan.

 

Would your rather see:

 

Goldfinger directed by Terence Young

 

or

 

Thunderball directed by Guy Hamilton?

[thecasinoroyale]

'Thunderball' directed by Guy Hamilton - hopefully less of those dreary underwater sequences.

 

 

Which Moore Bond film feels most "under-cooked" to you...

 

1974's 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

 

OR

 

1985's 'A View To A Kill'

 

??

[The Dove]

Definitely 1974's The Man With The Golden Gun...it was after all rushed into production less than a year after LALD was released.. There was SO much more potential to have some great scenes with Scaramanga and 007 and there should have been less Mary Goodnight and Nick Nack..

 

 

Which film could have turned out more for the better with a decent script revision (or, more like a script - floor buffering to get a really solid polish)?

 

Die Another Day OR Quantum of Solace??

[Eric Stromberg]

There's no doubt that QoS, while I like it very much, could have used a stronger script, but I really think it's DAD that needs a rewrite more.  QoS needs polishing; DAD needs a major revision.  It starts so promisingly and then by the third act it completely unravels.

 

Next Bond singer...

 

Keep going to Adele as long as we can get her

 

OR

 

Give someone else a go and bring her back if possible in the future?

[AMC Hornet]

Let Adele be the new Shirley Bassey. She can be brought in occasionally when the time is right.

Besides, reassembling the same crew does not guarantee catching lightning in a bottle again every time - have you ever seen Airplane! 2?

 

Honestly now:

Would you rather watch The Man With the Golden Gun or Die Another Day with all their flaws

or

A View to a Kill with all its flaws

?

[Eric Stromberg]

Definitely The Man With the Golden Gun or Die Another Day with all their flaws

 

The two most disappointing films in the series for me.  I actually like TMWTGG. I just think they shorted us majorly on the final showdown between the world's two greatest assassins.  I can't say there is anything I really enjoy about AVTAK, unfortunately.  (Okay, maybe Grace Jones...)

 

More interesting to see in a future film:

 

The inside of Q's flat

 

OR

 

A look inside 007's MI6 office, newly remodeled after the explosion?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

A look inside 007's MI6 office, newly remodeled after the explosion

 

For Your Eyes Only directed by Lewis Gilbert

 

or

 

Moonraker directed by John Glen?

 

[seawolfnyy]

Moonraker directed by John Glen. Perhaps he could have kept it somewhat grounded.

 

 

 

Thomas Newman scoring On Her Majesty's Secret Service

OR

John Barry scoring Skyfall

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Thomas Newman scoring 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' - that soundtrack could do with some passion injected into it.

 

 

Which instrumental title theme was the best:

 

'From Russia With Love' - 007 theme medley

 

OR

 

'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'

 

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

OHMSS instrumental title theme.

 

The Living Daylights directed by Martin Campbell

 

or

 

GoldenEye directed by John Glen?

[thecasinoroyale]

'The Living Daylights' directed by Martin Campbell - could be a trademark barn-storming debut from Campbell for Dalton.

 

 

What is James Bond doing at this exact moment in time?

 

On an assignment, lower key but still crucial to world peace

 

OR

 

Spending time in and around MI6 with superiors and colleagues analysing data

 

??

[The Dove]

On assignment, but keeping it low key....perhaps the pre-titles of Bond 24 will give us a snippet into what Mr. Bond has been doing lately, after the events of Skyfall..

 

(While I've got Star Trek on the mind..)  Which Enterprise crew do you see Daniel Craig fitting in best with, as a Starfleet officer? Capt. Kirk's OR Capt. Picard's?

[S K Y F A L L]

Tough one, I haven't seen Into Darkness yet I thought I should add but I would go with Capt. Picard. I'd like to see that group dynamic.

 

 

Potential Nolan/Bond 24 titles; INTERCEPTION OR SKYRISE?

[Eric Stromberg]

HAH.  SKYRISE, baby!

 

Bond Begins

 

OR

 

Conception?

[S K Y F A L L]

Bond Begins for sure. 

 

More Nolan Bond 24 titles : MAN OF REVEAL OR THE DARK NIGHT?

[Eric Stromberg]

I'll take DARK NIGHT  (almost posted that myself!)

 

INTERREVEAL

 

OR

 

MEMENTOUS
