Oh i did not know that! And here i thought I knew every bit of Bond trivia there is. But thanks for confirming to me that i'm not crazy haha
This is one of my favourite scenes in the entire series. Up there with Connery in blue trunks introducing himself to Jill, or Dalton confronting Pushkin.
A rather minor detail I also noticed, was that the desk lamp on Moneypenny's desk is identical to the one beside the phone in the Venice hotel room at the end of the film. Saltzman and Broccoli saving money on set decorations, perhaps? :-D
Love the film because of that chase alone. Caine is one cool cat. And that Alfa Montreal is so sexy.
They should've had a mid-credits sequence where the hotel is bulldozed due to the flooding and eventual mold that Bond caused.
"The insurance company is NEVER going to believe this!"
I think this is also the case with Bond's Aston Martin V8 Vantage in The Living Daylights immediately after he missiles his way through the lorry.
Hahaha! Imagine that! :))
Probably, but then again there are millions of identical lamps out there in the real world.
Of course! Just found it a bit funny that the offices at MI6 uses the same lamps as a Venice hotel. :-)
Or maybe they were just saving money.
Haha, maybe so! She and Bond shared a sort of a moment early on too :))
He's not coming home to my place unless he starts taking care of those nose hairs!
Definitely agree with this. There's something missing in the franchise since they started with other actresses for the role. The only one that comes even a little bit close is Samantha Bond, as she and Brosnan were hilarious together.
Yes, they did have the required chemistry. As a controversial opinion, I also like the VR fantasy sequence in DAD!
Can't say I feel the same way about Craig and Harris unfortunately. One of the reasons being she was a field agent of the start of SF.
The less said about Harris, the better as far as I'm concerned.
Yep, it's a film heavy with sci-fi-ish stuff, so that sequence doesn't feel wrong at all. We have VR now of course, so that makes it a little bit more believable now, sort of.
I don't mind Harris as Moneypenny really. I just wish she was a traditional one, and not a field agent responsible for shooting Bond. Just writing "Monepenny shooting Bond" feels so wrong. Imagine Maxwell MP doing that?!
Cheers.
Sorry, @Benny! Back on topic!
Watching DN this afternoon, (I think) I discovered another example of interior being reused in two different locations in the same film. The black table just inside the door of Bond's and Ryder's room on Crab Key is the same type as the one Bond places two glasses of vodka on, at Miss Taro's place. Didn't look too closely, so I might be wrong.
That was my take as well.
Nice little detail if it is.
Yes, that's what I've always been thinking. This time around it occurred to me that it might be the same tiger.
It's obviously an editing decision to make the set appear bigger but it makes me chuckle at the thought of them just walking around in circles.
I always notice it too now because they talk about this on the 'Inside FRWL' doco on the blu-Ray. (As well as the reverse motion of Klebb looking at the fish.)
It's a great example of Peter Hunt's editing skill and the masterful work he pulls out on that film particularly. His reconstruction of the first 20 minutes of the film in the editing suite is inspired and inspiring.
That might be why, of course. Quite like the tiger look though. It's a nice little detail.
Knowing Sir Roger,he might have even ad-libbed it himself,just as Pierce did in TWINE as he adjusted his tie under the thames in the PTS,that wasn't in the script .
