Nice! I've only seen bits of that video game. Never played it.
Me too.
I concur. Best Bond film. Always will be 😁
I like the Auric Stud sequence too, and seeing Bond imprisoned with nothing to do but test the guard's intelligence.
Yes, I love it too. Bond really does look exhausted; that adds a lot to it. And Oddjob's mocking grins. Intimidating.
I've really got to play this one. I miss the EA Games era of Bond.
I would add I love the moment where Bond and Goldfinger meet at the golf club. "How do you do?" "How you do do."
Although it seems like Bond does very little during those scenes, he discovers Goldfinger's scheme, gets him to explain the details, and gains an ally in Ms. Galore.
One thing I noticed on this viewing was that the easily duped guard Bond subdues puts up more a struggle than Bond probably suspected. Often Connery can take a guard out with one blow (as in his escape from Palmyra in NSNA), but this guy puts up a little fight.
It's always been my Dad's favorite. I do tend to flip between this, FRWL and TB, but each viewing of GF brings it back on top for me.
That's where it belongs 😁
Some of it is faithful. It's an odd mix, as you have the clothing and general atmosphere of the old film, but all the tech is updated. Totally worth playing just to control a young Connery. I believe it was technically his last performance as Bond, coming back to provide the voice.
Great PTS. The titles should have been done by new blood, no disrespect to Binder.
First time we see Pam.... Yummy 😍
Considering how invested Dalton was in bringing Fleming's creation to the screen perhaps he should have considered a haircut more akin to the books. It was 1989, however. At least he wasn't sporting a Mel Gibson mullet.
True. I preferred his hair in TLD. Much more Bondian.
The centrifuge scene is well done, and the editing really helps, cutting back and forth between the speeding simulator, Bond's facial expressions, and Chang's menacing smirk and furrowed eyebrows. Right before Bond is about to pass out and uses his wrist dart gun, we see some flashing images, including one of Q, in which Q seems to jump quickly from side to side, which seems to mirror Bond's dizziness.
Bond's fight with Chang is pretty good--all that shattered glass!--though near the beginning of it Chang seems to miss Bond intentionally with his kendo stick. Bond handles his sword well. I'm enjoying Holly Goodhead and her scenes with Bond, and the undercurrent of tension between Bond and Drax. I also like the occasional extreme close-ups, like in the PTS when Bond is pulling the clasps together to fasten his parachute--wondering if those close-ups are a John Glen signature, since in addition to editing on this film he acted as second unit director.
Been awhile since I watched a Roger Bond...............here we go.
When I was a kid this was my number one favorite Sir Roger movie. I really loved it upon seeing the network premiere on the ABC SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE back in November of '83.
Let's see where it ranks now.
Roger looks damned good in this one.
I like this Blofeld better than Christoph Waltz's Blofeld.
The St George's craps out.
I miss Gogol and Frederick Gray.
Great regulars during the Moore era.
