I cant find the thread that spoke of this but what if Silva is just a cover for a canon villian?

Jaws gets bantered around a bit but what if "Silva" is more akin to Sol "Horror" Horowitz?

Jaw campy "scary" vs real horror show (see what i did there?!?! :P)

feel free to move this to the proper topic....

I've no idea what you mean by this...!

Do you mean...is Silva an alias for an already esablished Bond villain (eg, Blofeld) or that he becomes a villain we already know about?

I don't think this is the case - I feel Silva is simply a one-off villain with links to MI6/M/Bond and we will find out over the film, but I don't feel he will become someone else or actually be revealed as someone we know about already.

But I am willing to be surprised by Mendes if he wants!

Exactly - no reason at all to think he's Jaws or Blofeld or anyone other than Silva.

i was thinking the rumor of the metal teeth maybe SIlvia based on Sol "Horror" Horowitz the book version not the movie version which became Jaws....to bad they already used Sluggzie. Would be another tip of the hat to the 50th.

well B isnt B is he? :P

Yes, but we had a sensible reason to suspect B was Q.
And it’s in the original contract with Fleming (and subsequently the Fleming estate) that no part what so ever of The Spy Who Loved Me (other than the title) may be used by Eon.

Maybe thus SIlva rather than Sol, didnt they use Sluggzie in a Moore film?

yet Jaws is based on Sol metal teeth....

Jaws owes more to Reese, a character Kiel played in 1976's Silver Streak, who had a mouthful of metal molars (see what I did there?).

Sure there was a bald henchman in TSWLM (played by Dr. No/ Cr 67's Milton Ried) but his name was Sandor, and he didn't have a cold.
