Forum Game: This or That?

You’re waiting 5 years dude. It’s MGM doing that, not Craig.
This guy…


Took 4 years

NOT

THIS ONE


Can I get that as signature?

I’m getting tired of typing it.

Please do … I wholeheartedly agree , plus I would like to see DC do a good 6 movies he deserves a large legacy

I love DC and what he’s done with the role (CR-SF). However, I’m ready for someone knew. DC, pretty much pulls a YOLT-Connery and sleep walks through Spectre and that line about slashing his wrists will follow him wherever he goes. I hope and expect he’ll give a much better performance in Bond 25. But he’s also getting on in the years. He’ll be 52 when Bond 25 releases. Obviously, with Cruise still going strong at 56 in Mission Impossible, it’s certainly plausible that Craig could keep going with Bond, but the last time that happened we got that creepy old grandfather hitting on a girl whose mother was younger than him in AVTAK…

Moonraker

Better scene:-

YOLT car chase with magnet

or

DAF car chase in Las Vegas

??

Las Vegas chase in DAF.
That was my first Bond, and it could do no wrong. Never owned a Mustang (guess what kind of car I did stick myself with?), but at least my latest car is - only coincidentally - red.

Better gadget-laden car chase:
Goldfinger (Aston Martin),
TSWLM (Lotus Esprit)
DAD (AM vs gadget-laden Jaguar)
?

TSWLM. The car diving into the water is iconic and so unexpected.

More wasted location:
TWINE: Spending the entirety of the Bilbao sequence inside of a bank
OR
CR: Spending the entirety of the Pakistan sequence inside of a bathroom
?

Ooh good one… I’d say TWINE wasted Bilbao more. We could have had more shots of Bond walking through the streets to get to the bank. The Pakistan sequence in CR is really only taking place at a cricket stadium. Still it would have been cool to see Bond trailing the baddie into the bathroom.

Who was the more ridiculous henchman? Nick Nack in TMWTGG or Elvis in QoS??

Oh god, definitely Elvis. He literally added nothing to the story, except to show that toupees can fall off (looking at you Sir Sean). Nick Nack wasn’t really ridiculous and actually was very entertaining, one of my favorites.

I still hate the Bilbao sequence. Bilbao is one of my favorite cities, it is so beautiful and has so much character, that spending the entire sequence (all 4 minutes) inside of a bank is just egregious. Spain has been utterly ignored by the Bond series for most of its duration which is crazy. But come to think of it, so has France…

More wasted location 2:
DAD: The entire South Korea sequence being spent inside a bunker and a plane (and then that bit about going down together in a hut on a hill shudder)
OR
SF: The entire Macau sequence taking place inside of a casino (save for the quick shot of the boat, and the sequence wasn’t even filmed in China)
?

Definitely South Korea in Die Another Day.

Bernie Casey as Felix Leiter in NSNA OR Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter in CR and QoS?

Jeffrey Wright. His love for the character comes through every frame in both movies.

CR 67 Bond?

Niven

Or

Sellers

Niven(who according to Richard Maibaum was Ian Fleming’s first choice to play Bond).

Better SPECTRE secretary:

Miss Taro(DN)

or

Miss Brandt(YOLT)?

Neither were particularly great at their jobs, but I guess i’d go with Miss Taro as Brandt couldn’t figure out that the only Scottish man in Japan was SPECTRE’s nemesis.

More overused non-London location in the Bond franchise:
Italy: FRWL, TSWLM, MR, FYEO, CR, QoS, SP, Bond 25
OR
United States: GF, DAF, LALD, MR, AVTAK, LTK, GE, CR
?

USA for me. I’m fine with Italy’s over-use as the locations have been mostly beautiful.

Preferred title for Bond 25:-

Risico

or

Shatterhand

?

Shatterhand

Better Roger Moore/Maud Adams chemistry:

as Bond/Andrea Anders in TMWTGG

or

as Bond/Octopussy Smythe in OP?

Bond /Andrea - I think she’s a bit weak in Octopussy and the chemistry is a bit flaccid.

Would you rather go for a drink with
Fleming’s book Bond in DAF
Or
Bond as portrayed by Connery in DAF

Connery’s Bond.

Other than Roger Moore, who we know can cook up a mean quiche, which other 007 do you think is best at cooking… Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan or Craig?

Dalton. The man eschews an air of “No matter what you ask me, I know” - Something Doom Patrol makes HEAVY use of.
Correct spelling;

Through

Or

Thru

Through

Bond trapped on the rack by Count Lippe in Thunderball

or

Bond trapped in the centrifuge trainer by Chang(Chah?) in Moonraker?

Moonraker. The entire shrublands sequence was annoying.

Better cold-blooded kill:
That’s a Smith & wesson and you’ve had your six
OR
I never miss
OR
I believe you left this with Ferrara
?

“You left this with Ferrara, I believe…” I LOVE that line… Despite Roger thinking the scene was too nasty for his 007, it worked great!

Will the Bond 25 reveal tomorrow and Friday happen at Ian Fleming’s Goldeneye? YES or NO, it’ll be at some other Jamaican location?
