I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that.
Either way, as per usual one or two find it hard to keep a thread on topic, so I'm here to get us back on track.
Please, and thank you.
It's been like this for over a year. Much like a traumatic event can trigger a depression, SP's release instigated an unprecedented level of bad temperaments around here that show no signs of purging themselves.
He does. The punch in the stomach is obviously done, pretty much, for really and Lenya must given him a good crack. I certainly feel it every time I watch it. Ouch!
When Bond is having dinner with Dr. No and Honey, he is holding up the silver knife in his hands in the close up, next wide angle, his hands are under the table, next close up again, holding the knife up in his hands, next wide angle again, hands under the table.
Obviously an editing, continuation mistake. Surprised to find one at all.
I'm pretty sure I noticed that right away.
Trench says "But we haven’t eaten yet – I’m starving!" and her voice and accent seemed strange and yet familiar. Like another Bond girl (but one I couldn't quite put my finger on) and without the English accent she so confidently showcased in DN.
Curious, I looked it up online to see if Grayson was dubbed and was surprised to learn that she was, by one Nikki van der Zyl.
I have seen her name crop up here from time to time but have never read the respective thread and so didn't realize her importance to the Bond world. Well now I know. She was apparently responsible for the voices of several of the early Bond girls, and it makes sense - because Trench's voice & accent in that scene in FRWL reminded me very much of Honey in DN. Van der Zyl momentarily slipped.
I didn't realize Trench was dubbed!
But then the dubbing in the Bond films has always been very good.
Here's Nikki's fully documented voice work in the Bond films:
Dr. No: Re-voiced Ursula Andress, Eunice Gayson and all other female voices except Moneypenny, Miss Taro, Sister Rose and Sister Lily. It's also claimed that she sings "Underneath the Mango Tree" in the version used in the film, but I'm not 100% sure that's correct.
From Russia with Love: Re-voiced Eunice Gayson and female hotel clerk in Istanbul.
Goldfinger: Re-voiced Shirley Eaton & Nadja Regin and was also Gert Fröbe's English coach on the set of the film.
Thunderball: Re-voiced Claudine Auger and woman in red dress at the nightclub.
You Only Live Twice: Re-voiced Mie Hama)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Re-voiced "Olympe" (Virginia North) and various other characters.
Diamonds Are Forever: Re-voiced Denise Perrier.
Live and Let Die: Partly re-voiced Jane Seymour.
The Man with the Golden Gun: Re-voiced Francoise Therry and various other characters.
Moonraker: Re-voiced Corinne Clery, Leila Shenna and various other characters.
I knew Ursula Andress was dubbed.
Those others I had no idea.
interesting list!
When you listen closely to some of those it becomes so apparent that they were the same person. Honey and Domino for example. Then you wonder why it never struck you before.
I'll always remember an amusing instance when I was watching TSWLM (not the first occasion though) with my dad many years back.
When that scene with Anya and Sergei Barsov began, my dad said something along the lines of "Oh no, it's not the one with this guy is it?!".
I quickly reassured him that it wasn't OHMSS. My dad is not a fan of Laz as Bond.
I thought it was cut because they were already overloaded with action scenes.
Besides, why would Bond need to escape from a commercial plane?
Probably been mentioned before, but if Bond heard her say this (as he wore an ear piece), why did he continue to grapple with Patrice? Why not throw him aside to give Moneypenny a clear shot?
And please this isn't the opening for a SF mass attack - I love the film - just an observation on this moment in the film.
Of course, perhaps Bond wasn't sure if she was actually serious or not. The idea of having Moneypenny take that shot was probably as mind boggling to him as it was to the audience!
