Forum Game: This or That?

(Re. Burt Kwok, let’s not forget him as the memorable Cato Fong in the Pink Panther movies…he was hilarious! :grin:)

Now to Spectre’s question… I’ll go with Nikolai Diavolo

Best car chase in a Bond game.

The chase through New Orleans in Everything or Nothing OR the chase of the dump truck in the streets of Bangkok in Bloodstone?

Being from New Orleans, I have to say the chase in Bangkok as the New Orleans in the game looks literally NOTHING like the real New Orleans.

Best henchperson in a Bond game:
Rak
OR
Kiko Hayashi
?

Rak, because I quite like his narration, on the second last level, that chastised Bond for all the people that the player has gunned down throughout the whole game.

Better example of a DB5 chase in a game

Agent Under Fire

Or

Bloodstone

Bloodstone…somehow it fits really well in the streets of Istanbul.

The running time of NTTD… Do you think it will be another 2 hr and 20 min film like CR, and SF OR no, they’ll scale it back?

It does fit well, however, narratively it doesn’t make sense as Bond drives up to the dig site in the DBS, but drives away in the DB5.

NTTD will likely be another 2 hr 20 min behemoth.

Who is more likely to be a traitor:
Nomi 007
OR
Billy Magnusson’s CIA agent
?

(Hah! Good point about the DBS and DB5 BOTH being in Istanbul. I never really thought of that…)

Hmm… You know, we’ve had the MI6-traitor a bit too often (Miranda Frost in DAD, Craig Mitchell in QoS) so I think Billy Magnusson’s CIA agent.

Will Bond get some special toys from Q in No Time To Die? YES or NO?

Yes

Better gun barrel:

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

or

Tomorrow Never Dies

?

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Best use of nature to escape
Alligator Heads in LALD
Or
Jungle Vines in Octopussy

Alligator heads in LALD. It doesn’t have the stupid Tarzan yell.

Will the Norway shoot in NTTD:
Actually feature Norway
OR
Is a stand-in for another country (likely Austria)
OR
part of it will actually feature Norway and part is a stand-in for another country (Austria)
?

I think most likely part of it will actually be Norway and part will stand-in for another country, like how the Bahamas were the Bahamas and Madagascar in Casino Royale.

Most memorable non-consequential character in a Bond film…

The Chinese guard who catches fire when Blofeld’s satellite ignites the rocket base in DAF
OR
The poor Thai driver who flips his car upside down during the car chase in Bangkok in TMWTGG?

While the Thai driver has a more impactful role in the film as he helps start a chain reaction crash during the car chase, I think the more memorable one is the Chinese soldier catching fire. His appearance is so out of left field and the special effects below par that one remembers him far more than the Thai driver.

Better gunbarrel:

Live And Let Die

or

The Spy Who Loved Me

?

Live and Let Die. I have an irrational hatred for those flares.

Better gun barrel performance

Sean Connery

Or

Bob Simmons

1 Like

Connery
Bob Simmons, realistically would be dead with the time it took him to spin round and I love the flair of Connery’s turn.
Most outrageously overacted hotel clerk giving Bond the eye scene
Thunderball
Or
Moonraker

Thunderball for me! Ha ha

Preferred title for Bond 26 -

Shoot to Kill

or

Running out of Time

??

I guess Running Out of Time

When do you think we’ll get our first snippets of Dan Romer’s score for NTTD? Around Christmas time OR In the new year, say Jan / February?

New Year Jan/Feb

Which Bond scriptwriter’s work do you prefer:

Christopher Wood

or

Tom Mankiewicz?

Christoper Wood. He wrote my favorite Bond film.

Of what we know of the story for No Time To Die, where else could it fit in the canon:
after OHMSS
OR
after LTK
?

After Licence to Kill.

Mix and match 007’s and villains:

Daniel Craig’s Bond vs Alec Trevelyan, Pierce Brosnan’s Bond vs Le Chiffre (Mads Mikklesen), Sean Connery’s Bond vs Hugo Drax, Roger Moore’s Bond vs Dr. No OR George Lazenby’s Bond vs Auric Goldfinger?

Only one you can see happening.

Though Craig versus Trevelyan is in Goldeneye Reloaded…and Craig versus Sean Bean is in Sharpe’s second ep…

More excited for;

NTTD teaser poster (bearing in mind the teaser posters have been good in the Craig era even if the main ones weren’t)

Or

NTTD teaser trailer

NTTD teaser trailer.

If there were ever a James Bond theme park, what should it include:
a train to recreate the chase in Octopussy
OR
Scaramanga’s funhouse
?
