But that was in a Wai better film.
:D
I actually like the scene. Bond is a complete mess but he strolls in, dignified like he owns the place and makes his typical requests for the best and then next scene, he's brand new and shiny again.
Yep. That was the beauty of it.
He's always James Bond, no matter how crazy things around him get. Shaken, but not stirred.
=))
James Bond would never stroll into a posh hotel were the staff knows who he is and his real name, ensuring the maximum amount of attention, if he knew MI6 was looking for him! ~X(
And with a shave the repercussions of over a year of torture swiftly disappears. Gillette really is the best a man can get...
Like I have read a long time ago, in the old forums: "Speak Mr Bond, or we will make you eat another sausage."
However, after that amount of time in the NK slam, he wasn't as emaciated as I'd expect either... ;)
Yea, more "healthy" than fat, though it could be argued that the North Koreans didn't starve him as they needed him to have enough strength to withstand the torture without actually dying - prolonging the pain and suffering with hopes of making him talk.
I'd agree to this theory! :)>-
In DAD they manage to hide it pretty well though. I mean, who could possibly guess that Graves was actually Moon jr? :))
Looks pretty healthy to me for someone who has been tortured for more than a year.
Not exactly an example of plausibility.
True. What I meant was EON are never going to linger very long on the side effects of Bond being tortured/enprisoned. Even in CR, Craig was humping Vesper within 10 minutes of the torture scene. Just like no one would watch 24 if Bauer spent 12 episodes feeling miserable about his torture. These types of characters are expected to kick ass within a moment's notice.
That is a good point. The producers aren't going to dwell too much on a characters physical/emotional vulnerability. On a smaller scale Moore obviously didn't take too much time to recover from his centrifuge ordeal in MR as he's seducing Corine in the very next scene.
I know these are meant to be more "serious" scenario's but one still needs to have a little suspension of disbelief.
Well, Bond did not recover within ten minutes of his life.
I meant in running time ;) There's no way EON would make a film where Bond is a mental wreck for half the film. It would be nice to see but Bond films are action/adventure films so having the main character feeling miserable would look very out of place. Just like if DAF had been a direct sequel, Lazenby would be kicking ass left and right, not spend the whole film crying in a corner.
Wasn't it Philishave? Honestly these poor companies cough up millions in product placement fees only to confused with a different brand.
Their campaign was obviously lost on me... :P
This was very very dumb. Never mind the implausibility of xray glasses, but the fact that they seem to work entirely differently based on whether the victim is a man or woman. And Bond using them to perv on all the women in the casino. I'm sure all the 12 year olds found it very titillating.
