What a peculiar ad! I love how all those sort of "male fantasy" action situations are all connoted to James Bond.

Still, nice narration towards the end. Good stuff.

Astonishing to think Fleming in his day really did give Bond a Gillette - before his buddy Felix convinced him of using a Hoffritz. Wonder which occasion it was they compared their razors on...?

Anyway, today I'm sure Bond would rave about one of these Avengers ™ models; nothing says so subtly "00-agent" as that Iron Man model. And it would fit perfectly with Felix Leiter's "Captain America" one; they could even switch blades...

Strange little ad - no idea what to make of it as the editing made it seem more like a dream sequence as opposed to someone really having an adventure.

 

And then the blatant 'Bourne jumping through a window' copy shot.  Very well done and for me, every time I see it in the Bourne Ultimatum, I think it is a superb money shot.

 

Anyway, didn't get it.

I liked that. The ending with Patrick Stewart quoting Ian Fleming was nice.


Though the shot for shot copy of The Bourne Ultimatum in jumping through the window was an odd choice,

The only good thing about it as far, as I´m concerned, was the narration by Stewart - what a lovely voice; how this man as never gotten into a Bond film is beyond me. Everything else just felt like a mash up between things people who don´t know Bond tend to associate with it.

Funny...that doesn't sound like Patrick Stewart to me... :wacko:

 

 

Yep...I've listened to it again...that is NOT Pat Stew...he has a deeper voice than whoever this was, (trying to imitate him perhaps?)

I didn´t think it was him, but as someone (Orion, I think) said it was, I went with it...

It really is a weird ad, and I´ve no ideia how these people keep their jobs. Don Draper would go mad.

Very cool ad. 

 

I wonder how many different versions there are. The one I've posted in the topic of the Heineken commercial had a different commentary narrated.

 

Almost one month to go!

It's Terence Stamp.

I guess the authors were not only drinking water to come up with this...
