@bondjames Ha. Well put. You can't keep a hairpiece down.
"Unmistakable."
"Precisely."
Was it the rat that did it?
I will not speak about the rest since this is an appreciation thread...
I never cared much for DAF. Never. Up to last year.
When I saw DAF finally in High Definition last year I enjoyed it quite a bit. The second viewing last year was even more enjoyable. Finally I appreciated the dark humour and the priceless dialogue.
Now after seeing it again (last week) I already really want to see it again.
Tiffany Case might just become on of my favourite Bond girls. I always considered her hot but unlike Goodnight, Tiffany really isn't dumb at all.
The fight in the lift (that I really only discovered last year) simply is the best fight in the Connery era, so I said it. And I mean it. Go watch it.
On the Blu-ray in the Special Features, you can watch the fight in different angles. They filmed the whole fight with various cameras.
In the movie, the final version is a work of editor's art.
But seeing it in different camera angles just made me realise who truly amazing that fight is.
I have to seriously consider taking DAF away from the bottom spot of my rankings list.
Bravo! :-bd
He enjoyed the fight in the elevator, he caught that Bond caused the problem by breaking the glass. The foam from the extinguisher brought a laugh from him. Younger Dove declared that Willard Whyte is one of his favourite characters.
He especially liked the part of him saying he will take the call from Washington "in the john." The Baja line is a favourite of both of us and is often quoted for laughs.
Yes it is jarring after the heaviness of OHMSS, but it's an entertaining movie!
It's 4 movies (DAF, DAD, AVTAK, NTTD), how would you guys rank it?
Second, after NTTD.
I’d say first of those four. AVTAK would be my runner-up.
Same.
NTTD
DAF
LTK
AVTAK
DAD
Maybe controversial to have DAF above LTK in certain circles, but it’s one of those films I can enjoy any day. It puts me in a good mood.
Yes, though I might pick LTK over DAF, but MI6-HQ restricted her question to the other four ("barring Dalton and Lazenby").
I am not sure where the LGBTQ+ community stands on Kidd and Wint. But I find both of them to be playing the part of homosexual hit men to be quite good. They certainly manage to kill a great many people, even some innocents, along the way.
DAF only ranks second because I can acknowledge its production flaws.
Thanks @j_w_pepper I don't consider LTK a final film for Dalton, for me, for a Bond actor to have a "Proper" final Bond film, it needs to be at least 4 or more films.
Dalton's tenure was cut shortly, and it's obvious that it's still not his final film, so I don't consider it, I've only limited it to four actors (Connery, Moore, Brosnan and Craig), they were the ones who had got a "Proper" send off, because of their long tenures.
Fast forward 50 years and Babs and Michael give in to Craig's demand that Bond die. Interesting times and you can see how producers used to rule, and now the talent does.
I thought it's Clint Eastwood?
Probably not until Dirty Harry came out. Which was after they filmed DAF. Until then, Clint was mainly known for his spaghetti westerns that were not taken seriously by the majority until later. (Correct me, but this is how I remember that time,)
