He crosses across the Balkans to Austria in FRWL. I’m not quite sure of the geopolitical situation of Yugoslavia at that time - i think they were communist but not aligned with the Eastern bloc, so maybe this doesn’t count as crossing the Iron Curtain?
Yugoslavia wasn't part of the Warsaw Pact, even though it was a communist country.
Always thought he crossed the border to Italy though, as he goes by sea.
You’re right, it’s the Adriatic. In my head I had it as a lake - possibly as it was filmed on a Scottish Loch (although it could have been a Sea Loch I guess, in which case I’m doubly wrong)
That's pretty much how I feel about it. LTK looks and feels like an action movie where Bond was meant to make a cameo appearance and then gets center stage.
Agreed.
I always go for Rog when I'm in the mood for unapologetic fun, when I'm more in a Flemingesque mood I tend to go for the early Connery's, Lazenby or Dalton.
OP is Moore's best
Agree, as does GoldenGun above. Does that make it less controversial?
I expect AVTAK to surpass OP in my rating pretty soon. The only Moore film that has a pretty-much fixed position for me is LALD. Not at the top, but as a very steady highlight that I'd like to re-watch endlessly, notwithstanding the fact that much of it is supernatural nonsense.
That is a fair assessment.
We appreciate your predicament, Mr. Pepper. Mood depending of course, but both have been neck and neck for my top spot for the past few years.
:-w Assuming for a moment that I'll go with you on SF being essentially a remake of TWINE (and trust me when I say I'm not going with you on that one), then it'd be a FAR superior one. I know many have big criticisms with SF, and some are valid in my view, but let's not get ridiculous here. TWINE is a C+ at best. SF is in A-/B+ territory.
+1
Thank you!
Yup. I do think Skyfall is overrated and it loses me once it gets back to the UK in the second half, but TWINE is probably in the bottom 5 Bond films. Skyfall is top 10..
Also,
- In both films there is someone very close to M, which turns the tables and becomes the villain;
- New characters are introduced to the franchise while others say goodbye;
- Bond's vehicles get destroyed...
But is that a remake anyways? These things could be a part of any other Bond film. Just coincidence, maybe.
But then, I take @Bueno1694's posting to be tongue-in-cheek anyhow.
It's clear that Lewis Gilbert made basically the same film three times, and all three times it was at least decent. That's basically all that happened with plagiarism within thr franchise. And it's okay, by the way.
She comes once a year.
I don't see your point here. I dont see it as a remake as well, I was just checking some other elements that could be considered for the so called "remake" of Twine. Things that we could see in any other Bond movie and are just taken out of context. It wasn't an ironic comment at all.
