Well SFs script is better than FRWL's (glaring plot holes and stupidity aside)
;)
Yeah, and Lazenby is the best Bond ever (acting aside). :))
It'd definitely make some kind of shortlist.
Well I guess I prefer hard hitting crashes rather than watching comedy Italians having airbags going off in their faces and MP rummaging in her fridge.
And let's not forget the classic line 'Mr White. Of course'!
To be fair there are some nice moments in the SP chase - smashing the roof off a parked car, power sliding past the Vatican, the flame thrower - but it's more like a Top Gear segment.
The QOS chase was awful on the big screen due to the editing but in bluray on a 50 inch it's pretty good. The final shot as the Alfa goes off the cliff is sublime and beats anything SP's promo video for the Rome tourist board has to offer.
Not quite sure why you're laughing as you could say SP is better than every other Bond film (the whole film aside).
Certainly. Really pedestrian and superfluous sequence. @BondJasonBond006 probably loves it.
In no particular order off the top of my head top 10 worst action scenes:
1. AVTAK fire truck
2. FYEO ice hockey fight
3. TWINE ski chase
4. DAD tsunami
5. DAD finale
6. QOS boat chase
7. DN car chase
8. DAF finale
9. TND finale
10. GE DB5 v Ferrari
There must be a thread for this already?
Agree with 1 - 6, highly disagree with 7 - 10.
7. DN car chase for the awful rear projection although I realise it's harsh to slate it as for those days it's probably quite exciting.
8. DAF just some bangs, blokes in boiler suits jumping off trampolines and some ropey visual effects when the choppers explode.
9. TND like DAF only duller. Here's a cracking idea that just screams Bond - let's have him just walking around mowing people down with a gun in each hand. It's like someone unearthed an undiscovered Fleming manuscript.
10. GE 'hilarious' comedy chase with music to match. It's reasonably well done for what it is I suppose but it's one of the scenes that garners GE it's Bond's Greatest Hits label. The cyclists all falling over is a particularly awful moment. And apart from anything else Xenia just needs to floor it and she would leave the DB5 for dead.
1 to 4 and 7 to 8 I agree 100%
5: don't agree, I like the finale of DAD, but it is sci-fi/comic book stuff, so I get why some people dislike it
6: the boat chase leaves me cold, it's just one more action scene in QOS, it doesn't hurt though, why you think I would love it escapes me.
9: again a finale...I like this very long sequence in the stealth boat, for me TND is some kind of variance on TSWLM.
10: The GE car chase is great because of Xenia who is introduced in a great way, and even MI2 homaged this sequence by the way. As for the music, that's not comedy music that's a lot of cans thrown down an empty elevator shaft. Noise in other words.

Of course I could be wrong but I don't think so.
MI2 is a turgid plod of a film that makes even TB seem briskly paced so highlighting the GE chase as something worthy of that film merely confirms my original point frankly.
They're both shit and with even worse music?
I'll be fixing that soon. ;)
As I said, maybe a huge coincidence.
Ticket sales Switzerland for Spectre:
1.026.098 (one million + tickets)
Star Wars TFA sold 699.716 tickets
Spectre has broken every record possible in Switzerland.
By the way, our population: 8 million
B-)
So it seems you are merely representative of the population then in your relentless SP fawning rather than a statistical anomaly.
But then what can we expect from a country where it is illegal to mow your lawn on a Sunday?
Yeah never got that about the QoS car chase, really not hard to follow what's happening.
The train fight didn't bother me either. When Bond fires his gun 3 times after Hinx kicks the table, there are people looking frightened in the far corners of the cabin. The others may have quickly exited the cabin into another one to avoid danger. The only real lack of extras that bothered me was how there was virtually no people inside the CNS building on launch night.
