    My favorite scene is Bond confronting Orlov (he's fascinating), and the ensuing shoot-out. All Orlov segments are great, his first scene cracks me up.

    I concur! And I love Peter Lamonts revolving war room set!

    Indeed..i love the way Orlov knows nobody is interested but still carries on with his 'invasion' project,only to end up slumped in his chair with a sulky,childlike petulance on his face.

    It's a great set. The girders, the portrait of Lenin, the plants, the map.

    Perfectly described.

    Orlov is easily a Top Ten Bondverse character for me (maybe Top Five). I don't see Bond himself and M (Lee) ever losing those two top spots.

    His slouchy posture in that seat in the meeting is legendary

    I'll start OCTOPUSSY

    This time I'll pretend I've never seen it, and that I belong in the 21st Century where every film needs to have story arc. I'll also pretend I firmly believe B25 needs to have the same cast, locations and plot as SPECTRE.
    I'v only seen the Craig entries and the previous film, FYEO.

    Gunbarrel.....

    WOW!!!!!!! The music is in sinc with the dots.
    After he fired the melody starts.

    Not sure where he's at as there is no location caption.

    I'm confused already.

    Is that a different actress playing Melina?

    WOW again. I'm baffled 007 reverses his jacket. His clothes actually seem to fit.
    This is amazing. I'm used to Bond wearing clothes too small.

    Bond arrested. Maybe Columbo will show up and save him?

    I guess that wasn't Melina after all. I was pretty sure Bond was going to remain with her the rest of his life after FYEO.

    PTS finished and my joke got old. Now I'm just watching OP as the fan I am.

    I still prefer Bonds to be stand alone.

    Titles. I always thought Bond's double here looks like Mischka in a suit.

    When I think of Roger's Bond, his appearance in OP is the first that come to mind. He looks great in this one, IMO.

    009 assassinated. One of my favorite post tile sequences in the series. I love the night cinematography here. Very moody.

    The score in that scene is excellent too.

    OP is one of Barry's finest IMO,as is AVTAK.

    I'm a big fan of the OP score as well, and particularly that 009 assassination bit. I also like the section when Bond is roaming around outside Kamal's palace, when Orlov arrives. The score blends in beautifully with the copter blade sound (Barry was always so good at incorporating physical environment sounds into his scores).

    Barry's score is quite dark and serious in this one.

    The ambassador is dressed like Bela Lugosi's Dracula. White tie, tails and medallion. Little known fact, Lugosi's medallion from the 1931 DRACULA was stolen from Forrest J Ackerman, who recalled the ribbon as either red or blue. Most artwork depict as red, though I tend to side with the possibility it was, in fact, blue. The satin lining on Lugosi's cape was a muted silver/gray.

    Speaking of vampires:

    Orlov's silhouette in this scene reminds me of Max Schreck in NOSFERATU.

    It's a great soundtrack, IMO. Good shout. Every note works within that scene.

    "I'm trying to concentrated". Past tense.

    When I was a kid that's what I thought that line was.

    She practically eats RogerBond's head off in a bit.

    Indeed. On the Roger commentary he jokes about it.

    Robert Brown was an excellent replacement for Lee, IMO. He looks the part, and is giving Bond quite the scolding here.

    M's office in OP looks great as well I might add.

    Another fine Barry cue- the intro as we cut to India.

    Damn Roger looks good in that beige/tan suit. Just think, we could have had James Brolin in those shots.

    I like scenes where Bond is being shown his hotel suite. The MR one is particularly funny.

    Casino!

    Louis Jourdan is so oily.
