Not quite. The Grand Hotel Ciudad de Mexico has two elevators, the one in the right was used for LTK and the one on the left for SPECTRE.
Perhaps he had gotten wind of EON's coming legal troubles, I'm not sure.
Then I thought of something I've never really considered before. It's been 27 years since LTK and we've 'only' had 8 Bond movies since then. The preceding 27 years takes us right back to Dr No. We had 16 films in that time.
I know the 8 is to do with legal wranglings LTK - GE, larger than usual gaps DAD - CR etc but it just struck me that the last 3 decades have been rather barren when you think about it. Or maybe the the previous 27 years were just incredibly productive?
I think that's the better way to look at it. We fans have been lucky. It's really something that the series has lasted more than 20 films over 50 years. Personally, I didn't "expect" a new Bond film when I became a fan in the period between DAD and CR, and that lack of expectation has continued... Everything after the Fleming novels and '60s films is just gravy to me.
I wonder if there are any folks on here who became fans between LTK and GE and see new Bond films in a similar way? As a bonus, but not something that's ever guaranteed or necessarily needed.
Indeed. We're now averaging 3 movies per decade when before it was 5-6.
You're right about that @bondhames. It needed a close up. So easy to miss such a detail
I got it straight away in the cinema,mainly due to Bond's face as Sciarra shows the ring,they tie in together...have a look at Bond's face at that moment next time you watch it,peeps.
Yeah, I only noticed this on my third viewing. Must pay more attention!
I'll have to look out for the iguana line next time I watch the film.
I am considering purchasing the cult 1960 series entitled Danger Man starring Patrick McGoohan, which I'm unfamiliar with, but have heard of.
I decided to check out an episode on youtube and so did a google search.
The very first clip I came across has a scene which includes Miss Taro, General Gogol, Professor Dent, & Lazar all in one room! Ironically, this was made in 1961, prior to DN. I guess I'll definitely be buying this.
That's great! There were a ton of Bond actors on Danger Man. It's a pretty cool show.
Connery in DAF. While it's a guilty pleasure of mine I don't think anyone would say it's Connery's best.
Moore is AVTAK. He was looking long in the tooth. the story had some good elements it's not Sir Rog's best Bond by a long shot.
Dalton LTK. As discussed above the movie had a TV quality feel. Almost like a Miami Vice episode. Not Dalton's best film.
Brosnan in DAD...do I need to say anything here?
My question, who will be the first Bond actor to go out leaving us wanting more?
Wouldn't have liked to have been sat next to him on the plane back from wherever he was!
Bet it was a long flight though!
