Film.
Who lost an eye ?
You think so? Great stunt finale with the skiing, but the first part? Very meh!!
Don Stroud not too long after he did LTK. Some say he was hit with a bar stool, but I believe he intervened a mugging and was stabbed.
Wow I didn't know that !!
You can see a radical change in his face post LTK.
The Don Stroud page on Wikipedia doesn't mention the incident at all, yet it's in the imdb page. In John Glen's book he mentions it in the LTK chapter, but I believe gets the facts mixed up.
I've never seen an interview with Stroud discussing the situation. Maybe he doesn't like talking about it? I've always been curious about it, yet there is little information on what really happened.
Maybe someone caught his eye.
I expected better from you Thunderfinger. I'll have my eye on you.
Maybe not quite a TV movie in style but definitely feels like it could have spawned from a tv series. There’s certainly a more constrained feel to it with a lot of the action taking place in interior locations (offices, bedrooms, hotel rooms, studies etc).
He looks several years older...more like late 30s.
“World domination...same old dream”
Legendary scene.
First film after my Bondathon at home on the 108" screen in 4K.
This is an army-Bondathon I'm starting now, quite intimate setting in my army bunk on a wonderful big iPad I got for Christmas with all the Bond films on it!!
High quality headphones too :D
Love the lines Bond has once he is in the sub.
There was a heck of a crowd on the piste.
Call me James. It's five days to Alaska.
And then that wonderful titles sequence with a song that keeps growing on me fast.
Surely this is one of the most recognizable Bond themes. I have to check out Duran Duran's body of work.
Q is at his usual grumpiness: If, 007, you'd ever bothered to read any memos sent from my department, you would realise this is a prototype of a sophisticated surveillance machine.
Sir Godfrey is introduced and we are at a horse race. It's a cool setting for a Bond sequence and a great way to introduce MayDay (that clothes!!) and Zorin.
The Eiffel Tower sequence is fantastic. Sadly the taxi chase is too silly and I'm sorry, but when you can see that clearly it's a stuntmen then they should have found another solution. Big fail!
Still, until this point the film is as good as any other Bond generally speaking.
Unfortunately it goes downhill from here but it's still Bond, it's Moore, and it's fun.
One of my favorite scenes in the entire series. Everything about that dinner sequence is gold to me.
But I'll be damned if it's not still fun to watch, just for Tibbett's and Bond's repartee.
At least the end of Bond ending up in the lake is interesting and I like that Moore for once did something himself in the film.
I like the town hall scenes the best, although Tanya pretty much destroys the tension by screaming her lungs out.
Office is very good.
The opening sequence makes me wonder how the poor bloke garotted came to wearing a Bond mask.
Fantastic titles too.
