The Award Winning : 'Bond...comments while you watch...'

Major_Boothroyd

'Ere...hold on...you're dead

Major_Boothroyd

John Barry straight on point with the music in this PTS

Major_Boothroyd

As a kid I always noticed the 'J&B' signage in the umbrellas. Nice touch.

Tim's signature head butt

The head butt was a brilliant move ,shame the didn’t up the game from there

I like how the music stops when the jeep smashes through the wall over the cliff.

I really enjoy the construction of this PTS. The parachute coming back into play. Seeing the box fall out of the jeep and explode. The training exercise explaining why Bond is unarmed (except the knife off course).

The theme tune just fades out as the title sequence ends... That's fairly unusual.

Major_Boothroyd

Bond in tuxedo at a concert behind the iron curtain. Love it. Dalton looking kickass. In fact - the best he looks in the series I'd venture to say.

Major_Boothroyd

This whole sniper sequence is fantastic. Dalton is lethal. Love the close up on his eye when he realises it's the 'girl with the cello'. The night vision filter adds to the tension. Great Cold War suspense as Koskov scurries across cobblestone streets.

Major_Boothroyd

Jeez...that gun is farcically massive

Major_Boothroyd

Love Dalton's repetition of Saunders 'need to know' line.

Was that really Saunder's plan? Put him in the boot. Seems insanely obvious for a secret service agent,

Major_Boothroyd

The first of two boob distractions in this film.

Major_Boothroyd

Poor old Q - having to run up those stairs and then pop some pills!

Love the celebratory music as the harrier jet rises up

Major_Boothroyd

Dalton has good chemistry with Thomas Wheatley - they work well in this antagonistic relationship. Dalton looks so damn lethal when he says 'stuff my orders, if he fires me I'll thank him for it. Whoever she is must have scared the living Daylights out of her.' Total Fleming Bond.

Major_Boothroyd

Off screen ass slap of Moneypenny.

Major_Boothroyd

Necros is introduced so well here and the Walkman motif is a nice character quirk.

Major_Boothroyd

Green four to base...

Major_Boothroyd

So was Necros going to take out Bond, M and Minister of Defence? He arrives just seconds after they leave. I'd imagine 007 would have taken on Necros in a heartbeat and Koskov's plan would have been defeated before it began.

Major_Boothroyd

Three separate Q scenes in the first 35 minutes of the film. Is that a record?

Major_Boothroyd

I'm not a car guy - but that Aston is fantastic.

Major_Boothroyd

Feel bad for Kara when she believes Bond's appearance means Koskov has kept his promise to send for her

Major_Boothroyd

Bond listening to some smooth jazz in his Aston

Major_Boothroyd

Salt corrosion

Major_Boothroyd

I like mixing it up and not having Q explain all of the things the Aston can do but find out for ourselves as they are used.

Major_Boothroyd

I think the ice chase has the right amount of silliness to it.

The wide shot of Bond and Kara sliding over the hills with troops chasing them to the Austrian border reminds me of Indy running toward the plane away from the tribesmen at the start of Raiders.

Major_Boothroyd

Love how Vienna is presented especially with Barry's score weaving in the instrumental version of If There Was A Man.

Major_Boothroyd

Just realised those 'sassy' horns in 'Where Has Everybody Gone' remind me a lot of 'Surrender' by David Arnold and K.D Lang.

Major_Boothroyd

This is my favourite looking John Glen film

I wonder where that music comes from. Maybe from the De Wolfe music library.

Major_Boothroyd

That random diegetic sound of 'where has everybody gone' that plays as Saunders walks into the cafe is sinister.

Major_Boothroyd

Dalton has another killer scene after Saunders dies. His interaction with Kara is one of the best, subtle acting in the series. He goes from protecting Kara, to surprised and then disappointed she knows Whittaker to angry at the mention of Koskov's name and then seems to harden again when he realises he needs to concentrate on his mission rather than on Kara. All in the space of a minute. Dalton is really present in this scene and reacting to each line.
