Zorin really thought that was funny.
I like the affectionate gesture Zorin reaches over and gives Mortner.
"OOOOOORRRRHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
but I forgot. It's a lot, though.
Used to be my least favorite film in the series but has climbed the ranks substantially.
Lots of fun.
I've always had a soft spot for it. Hard to put my finger on exactly why, maybe it's just the right amount of mid-80's cheese combined with the over the top performances. Roger seems to be having a lot of fun with it, too.
And yes, would enjoy keeping a count of how many of those shouts he gives throughout the runtime of it. It's surely a lot.
I have a nostalgia for it. I remember the Sunday afternoon my folks took me to see it.
These days I appreciate it all the more, because it still has that magic that only happens when you have Maibaum, John Barry and Cubby combined.
I have a signed picture of them in the hot tub. Signed by both of them 👍
Controversial for sure! Love the differing opinion though, what makes the chase stand out most for you?
That's a great one. Did you meet in person, buy through BondStars, or other? I was lucky enough to get Richard Kiel in person for my MR poster and shipped it to London to get signed by Rog. Would love to add Fiona Fullerton though. Speaking of, I always thought she had a Bond girl name herself and didn't even need a character name!
I think I will watch AVTAK again for Sir Roger day.
I like the chase as ridiculous as it is, because Roger really sells the fun in the sequence. Tanya Roberts does as well. Also it's not overly long, IMO. Probably could have been trimmed once they cross the bridge, but the cops laughing at the captain's expense is pretty amusing regardless.
No not personally it was a present from someone.
Strange place to keep it. Won t it get ruined?
Boom Boom...and for @Thunderfinger next trick..................................................
Well quite.... :))
Wonderful proper gunbarrel and we're into one of the best PTS of the Moore era. Brilliant stuff. Technically superb and exciting.
Just finished it myself - yet another one that delivered one of the best viewings I've had in ages. It's always been an underrated gem for me but it ranks even higher this time around. Not a fan of the in-universe acknowledgement of the 007 theme, the tuk-tuk chase isn't that engaging (just seems to be a checklist of stereotypes and cultural items) and the final assault by Octopussy and Magda is a little cheesy, but it has so much on offer. Love that film.
Agreed, though I think that would've made for an even better PTS. I am a fan of what we got, but the segue in tone between the two scenes is glaring.
Ooh here's Steven Berkoff going over the top as usual.....😄
Love Peter Lamonts War Room set, with the revolving table. Brilliant
I think the guy on the bike was Kevin McClory!
