    Funny how I'm watching this a few days after I watched TMWTGG.
    I can remember ABC airing both DR NO and TMWTGG during the same week summer of 1989 as LTK was near to release. TV Guide article compared the similarities of the two films.

    Marguerite LeWars being questioned by Bond.

    Great scene.

    Ken Adam sets are amazing. I love this bit where Dr No questions Dent.

    Warn me?

    I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I read an early VHS copy of DR NO on the 20th Century Fox label, featured a longer version of Bond's beating. Someday I'll track a copy of that version down. I somehow doubt it. I imagine it's the same transfer as the CBS/Fox edition.

    I wonder if Bond's attache case here is the same prop used in FRWL?

    The legendary Prof. Dent scene.
    As great now as when I firs saw this as a kid.

    Bond puts on his favorite record with his favorite song.

    The Crab Key section- my favorite in the film.

    I wonder what made Bond choose a baby blue outfit for this task? Roger would be decked out in safari attire, and Pierce would probably wear something similar to his GoldenEye climax look.

    Still, it looks great on Sean.

    Underneath the Mango Tree m' honey and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


    Only Connery can pull that bit off.

    Pierce did sing in "Row, Row Your Boat" DANTE'S PEAK.

    But that paled in comparison to Shatner/Nimoy and Kelly crooning that hit in STAR TREK V THE FINAL FRONTIER.

    I love the amazingly loud crash the coffee cup makes when Bond smashes it.

    The heating vent section was a part I loved as a kid.
    Takes me back to those days when I would crawl along the narrow corridors of my apartment building pretending to be Bond here.

    Bond gets soaked. Connery's real hair or toupee? The debate continues.............

    Wow - great choice. DN is still one of the best ones. I don’t imagine it leaving my Top 10.

    These old Bond films are just so timeless. I find it amazing how I can view them time and time again and never get fed up of them. I always pick up something new and my opinion of them may vary from time to time, but they are always a blast. That's a testament to the team they had in place back then. Truly spectacular and class leading stuff.

    Just watching QOS and realised that when Bond tracks the voice link as Robert Sterling the automated Universal Exports voice message is our Gemma’s voice !

    Why wasn’t Paul Ritter as Guy Haines used again ? He was perfectly set up and is a fantastic actor x if nobody has seen ‘Friday night dinner’ then watch it x his comedy acting is fantastic !!

    Bond you threw a member of special branch off a roof n shot him etc..Bond doesn’t even say he didn’t x one of the 2 annoying things of QOS for me .

    QOS finished....i love the way through the whole film Bond calls him 'Mr Greene' right until the end,the opposite to TND where Bond always calls Carver 'Elliott'..just an observation.

    I was watching a bit from SP earlier. The first scene in Tangier that shows Bond and Madeleine walking and checking into L'american (or however you spell it) seems to go on forever. At least a couple of minutes. Compare this to the scene in QOS when Bond arrives in Haiti and goes to Slate's room. It's like thirty seconds and you still get the feeling of the location. Just shows you how much energy the latter film has compared to the former.

    The music in the PTS for DAD is awful during the hovercraft chase in parts.

    But the opening title sequence is brilliant and Madonna's song works well.
