Damn I love this Bond film!
I love the fish tank shattering and all over Bond, and ruining his tailored casual outfit.
The audience cheered loudly as he waterskied behind the plane.
Only $3.50 for two Buds with a lime.
Since he plans apply for a job with Sanchez, 007 stopped at the hotel barber shop after leaving the bank. Pam got a nice new make over, so why not?
However, Bond forgot to bring his trusty photo of Hoagy Carmichael to the barber and had trouble describing what he wanted.
Hence, the barber effed up Bond's hair, and then tried to cover up by slicking it back.
I can tell by your avatar that you keep your hair ToTheLeft. Personally, I keep mine @ToTheRight .
Haha! Good one!
Apparently Carey Lowell was a little perplexed at the shooting of this scene, par for the course for John Glen. Really like this sequence though, great chemistry between them, love the banter over the price, though the perv in me would have liked to have seen the implied sex scene!
I've always liked this scene, too.
- First of all, the tango. As out of place as wannabe iconic: two of the greatest sex symbols of the late 20th century dancing together!
- The motorbike chase. Now that I know that more than half of the stuntmen here were also on the EON series in general and OP in particular, I can say this is the most EON-esque scene of all the non-official Bond films.
- I want to pinpoint Brandauer's performance, here. And I'll be thankful if anyone of you guys can confirm this: is that true that Basinger was literally scared shitless by Brandauer's Klaus Kinski-like antics and that she isn't actually bothering to act during the jade sculpture sequence? Because she looks genuinely freaked out to me.
8- JOHN TERRY: Errrr… Who?
7- NORMAN BURTON: An incompetent, obtuse and even obtrusive bureaucrat.
6- CEC LINDER: From him on, I like them all for one reason or another. A bit of an old timer; a portly, mild-mannered, warm, non-action guy, but you can depend on him even if he's a little gullible. The cut scene on Fort Knox is a proof of his actual skill.
5- RIK VAN NUTTER: Hot-headed, juvenile even with his silver hair and not extremely bright, but he's dependable, patient with Bond's antics and quite friendly.
4- BERNIE CASEY: Very much like Van Nutter's, but more imponent physically, way more smart and having a lot of sass.
3- JACK LORD: The blueprint. As much as skilled as Bond if they let him, combines dead seriousness with a tendency of cracking lame jokes, much like 007.
2- DAVID HEDISON: An annoyed, but patient and faithful friend to Bond on LALD, his sworn blood brother on LTK. I always love the contrast of Hedison's performances at the end of The Fly with his botched execution on LTK (two terrible beasts about to eat him): the sheer horror on both, but the helplessness on one and the defiance on the other. Capt. Crane, you were such an actor.
1- JEFFREY WRIGHT: Take Lord, Casey and Hedison, mix them and add one of the finest character actors of these two decades. Three appearances: competent, funny, friendly, being a REAL brother figure to Bond (looking at you, Öberhausen/Blofeld), saving his neck and risking his job and life on separate occasions. When Bond dies on NTTD, I just shrug. Felix's death is one the most heartbraking on all the series, if not THE most.
- I would have loved to see the intended ending with Roger Moore cameo-ing. On paper. it was so fitting for this movie…
- Sergio Mendes co-producing the theme song. Well, the more you know…
And, well, back to other movies. Over the years I'm getting less and less inclined to watch extras.
NO TIME TO DIE has passed my Bond re-watch test.
The newest entry is indeed a Bond epic I tend to go for often.
.........and here we go again...........
I'm at the Q scene where Bond and Moneypenny crash Q's dinner date.
This cast does have amazing chemistry.
Safin's scene with Madeleine is great, IMO.
He gets a lot of flack, but I think he's a great Bond villain.
I sure do like his haircut in this film. Very classic and old school. He looks like he could have fit in as an M during the Cold War. We get the MAJESTY'S theme music here to give it some ambience.
I have a work number and I don't care what it is.
Considering this is the longest entry, the pace is spot on.
Bond nearly chokes up when he sees Madeleine. Craig is excellent throughout this film.
Great scene!
I sure do like Bond's coat during these scenes.
Great WWII era setting. I love it!
Quite a long Bond/villain dialogue scene.
Bond KNEELs BEFORE SAFIN!
This bit is kind of funny.
This reminds me of a lesser discussed Humphrey Bogart film, TOKYO JOE . Bogie discovers he has a long lost daughter and has no idea how to respond.
He gives up his life for her as well.
