Welcome mate.
Thank you indeed! :)
Can someone explain why the enemy (bouvard) should be dressed as a widow (his wife?!?) at his faked funeral?
Who is in the coffin? Noone? Is the priest involved?
If you say, the widow is “real“ in the beginning (and she is really played by a woman until she/he is confronted by Bond), why should bouvard take the place of the real widow in the car and dress as a woman?
If it is bouvard from the beginning, isn't it filmed confusing for the viewer, as it is obviously a woman in the chapel?
Did Bond place the jetpack before the action started? Did he know that he has to run away from the other guys?
And is it realistic that bond arrives the house of the widow before bouvard?
Your questions are all valid, but I'm sure they have been asked by the majority of those who have seen TB since 1965 (in my case, since the 90s), unless they have chosen to ignore the issues and just sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fight at the château. But I can't answer them either.
Called the N64.
I'll get my coat.
I like the explanation of birdleson. Will quote you, if my wife (or chatty friends) should ask something similar at a screening in future.
But the main question remains: why dress as a widow? Maybe to observe, who is attending the funeral...
To be honest, dress a bad guy as a woman never convinced me in the bond universe (DAF)
I think that's it: “enjoy the fight, there's no time to ask questions!“
Same here. Good one.
A great MEME just add a bottle of
Buckfast to Bond's hand and baseball
Cap. With a sign " will spy for food "
I know there have been many occasions on the internet where people have asked this question but none of them have given any stable reply to it, so I've always wondered what kind of martial arts is Daniel Craig using in his films. I may have heard it is some sort of a mixed martial arts or choreographed into a fake format borrowed from various different types of hand-to-hand combat, however this isn't confirmed. Anyone might know?
@peter? Any ideas, my friend?
I didn't know it was one.
I'd assume that they would take a mish-mash of styles and choreograph the coolest looking fight-sequences.
Interesting question, though. I'll be seeing a friend on Monday who is an ex-competitor in MMA. I should watch a few fight scenes with him and get his thoughts.
