The one bond film in which another character utters the iconic catch phrase.
Very true @ToTheRight ! I'd never thought of that anomaly. I love her delivery of it. Often think of the way she says it.
The music in this film is amazing. Barry on fire here. So many shades of different moods. Exciting, suspenseful, heroic, danger, exotic, sexy, playful. It's got it all.
Again the revelation of Domino's brother's death is rushed through a little.
Vargas gets the point...
Vargas is barely in the book but so memorable with limited sceeeen time in the film.
while I'm not a massive fan of the underwater end battle (mainly because it doesn't have a whole lot of momentum) there are some good individual moments.
Domino killing Largo is a satisfying end. Now Bond and Domino on the life raft...
And the bluray cuts off some of the end credits! No 'James bond will return'!? Is that right? Anyone else have that?
I'm in the mood for Roger............
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I LOVE Conti's Bond score here.
Especially the gunbarrel.........................going back to watch that again................
I don't expect Dan Romer..........I was about to type Dan Rather.............I don't expect Romer to be Barry...........but I do hope he puts his stamp of individuality on Bond...........yet makes it as Bondian as this.
I'm probably in the minority of fans who feel Conti's works is some of the best non-Barry scoring for a Bond film.
I should watch SP again soon to compare helicopter openings. I love this scene.
I can recall it being considered a let down as far as PTS openings go.
I always liked it.
Great song as well, IMO.
One of my biggest mistakes I made as a young child:
We had just relocated and my aunt took us kids to an evening showing of SUPERMAN II. Two screen cinema, and the next one over played FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
My dad opted to watch Bond. I should have gone with him instead.
I had already seen SUPERMAN II, and I remember the adults loudly explaining to my younger cousins the plot as the movie went on. It was kind of obnoxious and took some of the fun away from the movie.
Of course I was a pretty big Superman fan then. But I still liked Bond, and I'd bet had I chosen to watch EYES ONLY instead, it would have seriously jump started my Bond fandom.
I wasn't a true fan until the next film came out.
Bond in Madrid his new Lotus. Roger looks the business.
One of my best decisions I made in high school:
My Dad and I went shopping to get some new shoes for the upcoming school year.
I found a beautiful green suede jacket very similar to Roger's here.
The shoes could wait. My Dad got me the Roger style jacket instead.
I still have it and it fits perfectly.
When we get into autumn jacket weather I'll put it on and take a drive in the country.
A Drive in the Country.
The Roger Nod.
Go backwards forwards quickly.
He's quite enjoying himself there. Very content.
I also love the Q scene.
Bond and Q hanging out after hours drinking coffee.
That's him. That's out man. I remember the Marvel Comics adaptation of this film.
The panel during this scene made Bond look a bit like John Wayne. Most of the other panels he looked like Roger.
I like the red Lotus. Roger has another cool suede jacket. He's got cool hair in this one as well.
Put me in the camp of Bibi fans. I like her character and Bond's rapport with her.
Bond gets older......they stay the same age. Yes they do.
I get the impression Lynn Holly Johnson is a very sweet person in interviews. She was great in the Mike Hammer TV film: MORE THAN MURDER with Stacy Keach.
Roger's Bond didn't really spend much time at the casinos.
Eric Kriegler.
I like Bibi's cowboy hat. Being 1981 I bet she's a fan of Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell.
Throw in Eddie Rabbitt.
Here we go- the ski jump bit.
Charles Dance.
He completely effed up his possibility of being considered for Bond when he bad talked John Glen in an interview. Cubby wasn't one to let such things slide.
I forget if I read that in Glen's or Cubby's autobiography. Either way I think it's funny.
Great actor, though. Made an excellent Fleming in the GOLDENEYE TV film.
Krielgler loses his cool and tosses his bike around. LOL.
Bibi ice skating after hours. I remember the DIFF'RENT STROKES ice skating episode with Dorothy Hamill.
Bond is getting his a$$ kicked here.
Then he climbs into that thing and this brief fight scene turns into a joke.
Ah the casino bit with Lisl and Bunky.
Bravo Bunky!.
Sounds like something I'd name a pet cat.
Bond grubbing on prawns.
Kristatos' meal looks good actually.
Bond has great rapport with Lisl.
Apostis has the greatest facial expression there.
He thinks it's funny Bond is going to get laid. Maybe he thinks it's funny Bond is with Columbo's mistress?
The beach scene is reminiscent of the OHMSS PTS.
I like the outfit Columbo's crew gives Bond. Dead give away we're in for some great sneaky Bond moments.
I love Topol here.
If I had to pick a favorite Bond ally in cut in the style of Kerim Bey, Columbo is it.
I love the warehouse battle.
Here we go- Locque's death scene. Iconic.
I should track down the pre-Lowery DVD to compare this scene. I think the Blu-ray looks just a bit too dark and blue here.
John Glen films were a mixed bag, some terrible humour at times then brilliant dark moments like Loques death, best scene in FYEO
I've always liked the Glen era. Granted AVTAK is an acquired taste, but for the most part Glen's films always felt Bondian.
I'm at the keel hauling bit. Another favorite scene of mine.
The St Cyril's climax is great, IMO. I love the rock climbing bit.
Agree I don't think the era's that followed were as good for overall entertainment, Glen's era still had many of the original production team, writers, Cubby etc involved in the films and it shows.
He also MacGyver's the situation using his boot laces to climb back up.
His boots stay on through the duration of the film. In real life he'd probably lose them while fighting Kriegler.
I think you're right about the humor, though. Some of the jokes in the Glen era don't quite hold up. I don't find the firetruck chase nearly as funny as it's supposed to be.
I do think his films are more re-watchable on a frequent basis. Possibly more so than anything that came afterwards.
Of course, in the 30 years since Glen and Cubby there really haven't been nearly as many films produced. He directed 5 films in one decade. Since then we've had three decades and only 8 films.
As the saying goes: if you don't use it, you lose it.
In Bond's case I'd change that to : if you don't use it, you must re-introduce it.
What's even more irritating is when there have been gaps between the films the result has not been good enough on occasion, for me there have been three good films since LTK, (I am not a fan of Mendes at all).
Hopefully Bond 25 will freshen things up and inject energy and excitement back into the series
I hope so. I'm really hoping B25 is an entry that doesn't lose sight of the fun in Bond films. Even if the plot has some dark elements. I also hope MGM and Universal have at least an outline or plans for future entries. With Craig leaving some major decisions will probably need to be made regarding the series' future, tone and approach. I just hope that doesn't take years and years. With the pace they've been going lately, though, I wouldn't be surprised if it took more than a decade next time.
However, for all we know the series could be in great hands with Cary at the helm.
I think the first trailer (hopefully with the title) should be a huge event.
I am positive about Bond 25 though I have avoided certain threads and not had a knee jerk reaction to half baked rumours. I will be there first night and expect a classic Bond film we are due a top tier Bond Film
Not everything was perfect, but his films were always quintessentially Bond, very fun and watchable.
For the most part Glen's films felt like an event and felt large scale helped by the globe trotting. I was born in the mid 70's so I am probably biased toward that era, I watched Bond very early as my parents were fans and collectors and owned alot of spy fiction including Fleming.
My first cinema Bond film was Octopussy, inevitably I have a fondness for that film
This is a terrific sequence. One of my favourite of Moore's tenure. I think it reminds me a bit of Guns of the Navarone which is a film I adore.
Dalton looked out of his depth but at least his accent is not slipping,and it was just one scene to the next , lack of flow .
I won’t mention all I could mention about you know who.
John Barry ‘s score is one of his best, such a waste .
Oh ,and if Kara didn’t open the back of the Hercules then I think Necros would have killed Bond .
Stays at #24 in my rankings .... I tried.
Top ten or there about's for me, Dalton is great for me displaying a different side to the cinematic Bond
