I'm not sure we see him in a hotel in YOLT either.
I wasn’t sure either, but the newspaper report from the opening in Hong Kong says that he was killed in a hotel! :)
I never caught that the newspaper reported his "murder" happened in a hotel. I always assumed it was Ling's home since they're talking about her giving him "very best duck" (she was about to cook him this duck)... It just seemed like a nice rendezvous in between James Bond's assignments and he was crashing at her pad before moving on. Nothing in this scene gives the vibe of a hotel.
I should now watch this opening; there's an establishing exterior shot of the cops arriving-- was it outside of a hotel?...
Funny enough, I never even considered it was anything BUT a hotel room, not having read the obit. I mean, where else was Bond likely to make out with a woman abroad?
Heh! It's true, but then why does such a big hotel room need a bed that folds up into the wall? :)
Oh and by the way my dirty mind I thought when Ling said "I will give you very best duck." I always thought she meant something else. ;)
Interesting discussion.
Well, yes: that is rather the point! :D
That's another good avenue for 'things we haven't noticed' in fact: some of the dirtier jokes! :) My favourite filthy one is what Roger says to Moneypenny in A View To A Kill (I think?)- as he turns just before going into M's office he says to her:
"I'll fill you in later, Moneypenny"
Took me a long time to spot that one! Dirty Roger :D
Also while not portrayed as a hotel, the Hotel New Otani in Tokyo is the site location used as Osato Chemicals.
"Foul play is suspected"
You don't say...
Well if it walks like a duck........
Haha! Yes there is something about a guy being found pinned upside down behind a heavy piece of furniture with multiple machine gun wounds in his back that just somehow seems to suggest it wasn't self-inflicted... I can't put my finger on it...
I'm sat watching random movie songs on one of those endless digital channels and they've just planned Duran Duran's AVTAK video.
When Mayday jumps off the Eiffel Tower in the video the little diving board thingy has been removed, yet it was left in in the actual movie. A bit strange, why would that be?
When faking ones death its probably not a good idea to have your photo splashed all over the papers....
Ha! Good point! :D
I was watching FRWL yesterday and I never noticed before that in the chess scene at her beginning, the upper part of the room is decorated with elaborate paintings in long shot, but when the camera gets closer in the paintings aren’t there (due to the long shot being a matte painting) :)
Disagree. For any villain who'd still have bad feelings about him there's no doubt it's him. After all, after death he hasn't got to worry about privacy.
So, to make sure they all have the right 'commander Bond' in mind, it helps putting his picture out there.
It does remind me of the scene when Bond strolls down the streets of Tokyo to the sumo match, how he sticks out like a sore thumb.
"Foul play is suspected and the question is being asked what a high ranking naval officer was doing in such a notorious district" :))
Sounds just like him. I guess he was looking for an interesting experience.
@cwl007 That is interesting, wonder if anyone knows why? And can we also just celebrate how much 80s fun that music video is, they don’t make them like that anymore!
I also watched MR and echo a comment @Birdleson made about the scene in the alleyway during the Rio carnival, and the way Jaws approaches Manuela. Quite spooky.
However dear old Richard Keil is clearly so desperate not to hurt the girl that their 'wrestling' scene is far from convincing.
The pilot and flight attendant from MR flew by and landed on a nearby island. Then they picked him up and waited for Bond to book a private plane. By the way, where the hell was Bond going? Why was he on a private jet with just a pilot and one flight attendant? Where did Jaws hide and how long were they flying before the attack started? So many questions!
I love Bond films, but I gave up on making any sense of MR a long, long time ago. LOL
Don't be silly. As long as you can make sense of Bond's decision that they were safer on top of the cable car rather than inside it, then what more is there to worry about?
That's him. That's the one!!
