Bizarre that Brozza made such a good film soon afterwards. The Tailor of Panama is excellent and shows Brozza really could have done much better.
I'm pretty sure this is an appreciation thread.
Very true. GE is full of treats. I do think they could have tightened it up by 5 minutes, though. The ejecting scene from the helicopter could have been cut, IMO.
Hunt did one great film but Campbell did two, ergo Campbell>Hunt.
Young, however, is arguably the best Bond director ever.
Fair enough, there just didn't seem to be too much Bond about it for me.
Clever thinking.
Love it despite the effect itself being a Die Hard 2 rip off..
Yeah, the one part of the film which felt a bit "action movie trope" for me. Lacked that Bond flavour.
Totally agreed. I love the way that scene is edited and shot too. First in wides when Brosnan and Natalya are talking, than cutting between the characters close ups during the interrogation, then that fluid movement once the action kicks off. It helps add to the sense of escalation, and preps you for the action sequence that follows.
+1 Great acting in this scene. "Put the gun DOWN, General!" Love this line.
"Do you even know who the enemy is? Do you?! Defence Minister Dimitri Mishkin, murdered by British agent James Bond,himself shot while .......trying to escape. Guards!"
Love how Ouromov pieces together the obituary after the fact on the fly. Gottfried John is on fire in this scene.
Find Gilberts direction rather ordinary, Jurgen is a dull villain, hate Jaws, Bach is wooden, and it has one of the most tedious bomb diffusing scenes ever, and Hamlisch score is too jokey, that really annoying part with the van breaking down in the desert, why did Gilbert allow that? I agree he has done some good movies in his early career, but he became a very generic director later.
YOLT has gone down in my rankings.Great at the start but becomes a chore to watch later, until picking up for the volcano attack finale.
He is one of the best things in the film,a fantastic performance,one of my all time favourites.
He was a hip flask swigging buffoon throughout the whole film.
Fair enough. Feel the same way about GE.
Give me Spy everytime!
