What was Cambell's strong back catalogue?
May be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sex_Thief
Ah, good ol' Joe Don. The hallmark of quality in any production he appears in.
I see Cambell remade it as a movie with Mel Gibson as well.
Any way, isn't fair to say that Spottiswoode's CV was at least as impressive, and without the soft porn movies either.
He obviously sold out in the late 80s/early 90s.
And then redeemed himself with arthouse masterpiece TND? ;)
Campbell is simply of of the better Bond directors. It actually does not matter who plays Bond if he's directing.
ENough said. What a lousy director, and what a mostly lousy Bond movie he made. All the stuff on the boat at the end was just horrible.
The bit on the boat was indeed cringeworthy.
The first time I've ever agreed with you.
And that Stamper guy, set up well enough, but all that stuff was just a huge bore.
Okay first act, especially the intro to carver, and the death of his wife, but after all that, yyyyaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnn
I agree, especially after goldeneye was so successful
the audience I saw it with laughed at the movie sometimes, and not in a good way
Mr Wallace...call the president
his scenes with bond early on were great though
I found it to be weaker than GE though, but GE is one of the Bond greats to me, so not living up to it is not so bad.
Dr. Kaufman was incredible (one of the most wasted villains in Bond history - he had maybe 2 minutes of screen time). I liked Carver too (in a comic book, megalomanical but deeply insecure kind of way......like a weak man hiding behind his power and money).
What have I just watch?!
No, but seriously, I love that scene! Hilarious!
Good grief.
It's a long way from some of the great Bond villains.
He's fine in the early scenes, but man that scene helped sink the movie.
Maybe I should not, but I actually LOVE the kung fu imitation. He is humiliating a superchick and basically showing her that her martial art is pretty pointless.
Yes, but it was Elliot Carver being demeaning, the villain. And I kind of like that one of those Bond's equal Bond girls was in a helpless position, the villain taunting her about the very skills she had. (And yes, Wai Lin was utterly inconsistent at this point, but still Pryce was great).
