Please God no! If Yewtree ever investigated Rog I would be devastated.
But look at the evidence: big in the 70s and 80s, involved in children's charities, likes a cigar - the parallels with Savile are shocking!
Oh no!
I do hope all those kids from the mines got back to their families at the end of the film!
Sadly, that's probably true.
I'm glad someone else brought up the FYEO Blofeld. I've always treated that as a bit of bollocks, not an actual appearance, but with their thirst for £££ they released it within the so called Spectre steel book editions (lest we forget omitting DN) so now some are treating it as canon (as loose as that is). This to me was always a sort of quasi-Blofeld. A bizarre, typically EON thing to do. It doesn't ruin the sequence, as I still find the stunt work fantastic, but it would certainly be better if it was omitted.
If you don't treat it as canon then who is the guy in wheelchair with the cat? Beckton's best Blofeld impersonator or just a random nutter who models himself in Blofeld and has it in for Bond? Cack handed though it is surely it makes more sense if it is Blofeld than if it isn't?
I remember once some writing (I think it might even have been Graham Rye) that it would have been better if it was all a dream and Bond wakes up at the end as the pilot delivers him to Universal Exports. What we have isn't great but this would have been even more bollocks.
Agree entirely about the steelbooks though. How you can count FYEO as more a SPECTRE film than DN is laughable. It makes you wonder if the marketing cretins who oversee these things have ever even seen the films.
Ha ha. I don't know what to make of it if I'm honest. It's just f***ing weird. As a kid I always viewed it as one of those bat shit moments EON churn out from time to time.
To get back on topic somewhat doesn't that line have to be the most ridiculous moment of the series?
Except Bond doesn t spit when he talks.
That is why I hate those films so vehemently.
Yes, now I can finally understand it! :D
1) The Gondola and pigeon double take (belong together)
2) Jaws falling in love
3) The Tarzan Yell (actually the whole jungle chase)
4) The death of Dr. Kananga
5) Awfull fight with the young girls in TMWTGG
6) All seqequneces with Bibi
7) Balloon scene with Bond and Q in Octopussy (the whole climax is too campy.
8) California girls song in the PTS of AVTAK.
9) Jaws several other slapstick moments in MR
10) Sh. Pepper and the elephant scene in TMWTGG
Great silly scene:
Bond dressed up as a Gorilla checking the clock. SO damm funny.
Daniel Craig's Bond survived a similar fall from an extremely high bridge in the PTS of Skyfall. Nobody would survive the fall. Would anybody say this was a campy sequence?
Moore's camp was comedy unto itself, in my opinion.
Physics once had a fight with both Tough and Gritty and he lost.
I understand the point. I just wonder what is more annoying to me. A gag that defies physics in an otherwise very serious Bond film or a campy joke that defies physics in a campy Bond film. IMO the first is more misplaced than the second.
Where Zorin failed, Bond prevailed.
