Going to have to take issue with you again mate!
Its a terrible theme song and i would venture to say Binders worst title sequence!
LTK has come in for a bashing around here for the title sequence lately, claims of laziness, but i think TMWTGG takes that booby prize. After the excellent voodoo inspired LALD titles, this follow up was very lazy and unispiring, theres virtually nothing of interest in Binders visuals. He would redeem himself with TSWLM though!
True. The ideas on these titles are a bit thin. However, it's very sleazy and naughty which I absolutely love. I was pretty much kidding about the song, though. It is a weaker entry, however I do find it catchy and hum-able. Oddly the title song that's been sticking in my head recently is NTTD. I haven't heard it nearly as much, but suddenly it's been staying with me.
I'm hoping i will like NTTD more by the time the film finally does come out!! But i doubt it!
I guess I'll have to see it with the titles to judge whether I like it or not. I'm on the fence with this one.
Bond at Shrublands is one of my favorite sequences in the entire series. I love this whole section of the film. Anytime I eat a grape, I try and do it like Sean. I even like to roll my long sleeves all the way like him.
Bond on the rack is hilariously funny.
Every time I watch an early Connery movie I'm inclined to declare it my favorite in the series. Feeling that way about this one now.
Paul Stassino is my favorite actor ever to play Domino's brother.
Gavan O'Herlihy, on the other hand, is my favorite actor to play Richie Cunningham's brother.
Felix in the background trying to be inconspicuous .
I love the casino sequence. Wonderful bit here. Largo is one of my favorite villains.
I should find a loud obnoxious shirt like Q's.
Also I preferred the older copies that used the Barry TB arrangement of the Bond theme during the end credits. Flowed more smoothly, IMO.
I think this is one of those "Sean without his toupee" sequences.
Great viewing of this, one of my all time favorite movies.
I must say, the Blu-ray does pretty much look like the 35mm prints I've seen in terms of color timing.
Must remedy that.....................
LICENCE TO KILL
I love the PTS.
Today is indeed Robert Davi's birthday, which is why I'm going with this one.
Also it's one of my favorites.
Already at my favorite scene:
DELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The underwater section is perhaps my favorite in the series next to TB.
Tim kicks the guy in the face a second time. Just not his day.
I remember the publicity: "Bond bleeds in this film".
Still, I think she made an excellent Moneypenny.
Bond, on the other hand has been ahead of his time 31 years years by practicing the COVID self haircut.
In a cut sequence, he's seen in the bathroom with giving himself a trim. He effs it up so bad he has no choice but to slick it back, thus covering up a massive bald spot he gave himself with thinning shears.
At least that's my explanation for the vampire look.
And, no..............no such cut scene actually exists.
I think the hairdresser just suffered a heatstroke in Mexico.
Good to see you get going again, ToTheRight!
And an excellent choice, if i may say so!
Love that scene of Bond sneaking around the Wavekrest, followed by one of the best action set pieces John Glen and his team ever assembled!
Thanks, @Mathis1!
Good to be back on this thread after a brief break. Been working overnights, and sometimes too tired to comment while Bondathoning.
There's so many great sections during this film. The pacing really flows and the action never fails to impress me.
I still maintain the opinion the Blu-ray looks almost too good for this film, losing much of the dirtiness and grit seen in the cinema. I wonder how the 4K transfer is?
Somewhere I read Tim's hair was specifically designed to give him an unkempt look this time, considering he's no longer with British Intelligence. I quite like it in some scenes.
Don Stroud looks bad ass in this section where they rescue Bond.
I'd like to know more about his injury after this film. Apparently Stroud came to the aid of someone being mugged in New York and lost an eye. He appeared on some television a couple years later and looked quite different.
Great actor. I loved his Pat Chambers on MIKE HAMMER.
Actually HE probably could have played Leiter.
Been ages since I've seen the original U.S. PG-13 theatrical edit, but I recall it being a bit sloppy in some scenes.
I kind of liked that, though.
Like Roger Moore, Dalton wears slip on dress shoes in the middle of intense action sequences. That would be very difficult climbing around on the tanker trucks in those shoes. They could easily slip off.
Sanchez keeps his cool.
Not at the end, though.
Not many fans seems to care for this epilogue sequence: Felix's happy go lucky vibe, nor the winking fish. I don't mind it actually. It's the odd frozen shot of Bond and Pam in the pool as the credits roll that bothers me. I prefer the panning shot of the city.
Great viewing of LTK!
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
In the mood for this one yet again. Probably my most often watched Connery, the way AVTAK and OP are nearly always running in my Blu-ray player.
I'm at the elevator bit. I love Barry's score here.
Joe Robinson has some amazing facial expressions during this fight.
He gives Pierce's legendary pain face a run for it's money.
I remember as an 11 year old getting a black leather wallet because Bond's wallet was black.
Here we go........................
a criminally underrated Felix Leiter.
Burton and Connery do have excellent Bond/Felix chemistry IMO.
