Laughably awful Bond girl vs. awful, groan-inducing dialog with awful Bond girl.
Bland Bond vs. over-the-top Bond.
Sun-powered death ray from space vs. sun-powered death ray from space.
TMWTGG isn't a bad movie, but it does tend to make me sleepy. DAD, on the other hand, is a pretty bad movie, but for some reason doesn't bore me as much. I guess the action sequences (terrible CGI not withstanding) are good enough to keep my eyes open for the full 2.5 hours.
So if I had to choose, I'd have to go with Die Another Day. But I don't feel good about it.
DAD.
I think Clown porn is better then DAD..
GG is great, I love it.
I give it to DAD because most of the opening half is entertaining to an extent I suppose. Golden Gun just never really had anything going for it in the first place.
While I would put GG above DAD (Chris Lee influenced that decision more than anything) part of me gets what you mean. GG is alrite but feels very slow and uninspired (the middle section in particular). DAD may be a lot of things but it isn't "slow".
That said GG probably has a more class than DAD. The dinner scene between Bond and Scaramanga stands out in particular.
Never been a fan of GG - even when I was a child I thought it was quite boring and routine - but enjoyed it a bit more the last time I saw it.
This statement is 100% accurate.
Christopher Lee is head and shoulders (in more ways than one) over Toby Stephens as lead villain, Nick Nack makes for a better henchman that Vlad (or even Zao) and Lulu is streets ahead with the music over Ciccone. The pre title sequences are harder to seperate though, as Die Another Day is, actually very well done and may even be a winner on that level. But Golden Gun does not irritate me, there is lots to get involved in, it has Clifton James return, some great shots of Thailand and China, and does keep the interest, and it is much more plausible, no CGI crap either that I can remember from a last viewing. Moore looks more feasible as James Bond than Brosnan did in his final release also, to be truthful
I do see what you're saying, definitely. He always did seem to have his trust in the middle of the road, especially in scenes where he gives Rodney the money for the kill, but then tricks Bond into thinking he's on his side, and then goes to help Scaramanga from the control room. And then there's the confusion as to why he risked his freedom or possibly his life to go back and attempt a last kill on Bond on the boat. Was it because he cheated him out of his chances at inheriting the island, or was it because he had murdered his boss? Hmm......
Hahahaha, indeed, indeed! I certainly agree also that he was not threatening in the least. His size alone determined that, but we were even more sure about his weakness given that pathetic fight he put up on Scaramanga's boat at the end of the movie. At least Zao could put up a decent fight. Still though, both are incredibly cheesy to me and aren't worth a whole lot as henchmen.
Hahaha, exactly, it is a question at that as to whether or not he was played for laughs or for an actual cunning/lethal henchmen. Either way, I think both failed.
Hahahaha, then he would easily become the most hated character in the franchise!
There's no Liquid in any of them ?!
(Maybe Lee got real thirsty and had a party on board and put all the empties back, but it's still a nonsense event)
Oh right, this goof. Indeed, this one is hard to let go! It's just that bad! If there can be that much broken glass on the set, then how about going the extra mile and putting some real liquid in those bottles!
Yeah that's it, Perrier.
JW Pepper got on board and drunk the lot some point earlier in the film. He did seem a little bit inebriated during the car chase in Thailand and somersault stunt
'Little Brown Pointy Heads!'........
'Did ya ever think about gettin' a drivers license boy!'......
'Whooooo, Wheeeeeeee !, I ain't never done that before!'
Ah, it all becomes clear now..
That's so weird, you'd think it would do the company better if everyone could see the actual product onscreen!
The problem is those cans were flying straight at Brosnan, and in the long distance scenes, the Tank driver/stunt man. Having full soda cans being launched at you can (no pun intended.) be dangerous and painful. Empty cans were better because they can hit you and not hurt you.
Well you know you're right, I hadn't really thought about it that way. I guess I assumed he was inside the tank and the cans would just bounce off of the armor, but now that I remember this, he was outside the tank at that moment.
If you have never done it, you should watch the commentary for GE. Very enjoyable. I believe it's Campbell and MGW.
I need to do that! I usually don't ever fool around with the special features except for the old trailer and TV spots, because typically the features they give outside of that don't keep me engaged that much.
