He is not amused.
Why does Oddjob smile when Tilly Masterson misses in the Swiss mountains? Like he knows his boss was nearly assassinated?
1. Drax phones up Hire-A-Henchman. They guarantee to speedily make up any staffing shortfalls for megalomaniacs worldwide or your money back. It's like central casting for henchmen.
2. Maybe it was an early version of the racket Nick Nack had going with Scaramanga in TMWTGG where if the Big Bad dies the henchman is the sole beneficiary of all of his riches?
1) How different did For Your Eyes Only feel? Was it a welcome change upon its release?
2) What was the general consensus of A View To A Kill at the time?
3) What was the direction people were hoping the series would go to after A View To A Kill and Bond after Roger Moore at the time?
4) How did you feel watching Licence to Kill at the time in 1989? Was this the Bond you wanted after A View To A Kill?
5) Was Licence to Kill inevitable after they returned to story driven plots in For Your Eyes Only?
2/ Disappointed but we still loved parts of it including Macnee and Walken.
3/ Actually fans didn't want Brosnan because the consensus was that Pierce would follow in the Roger Moore mould. So we were happy when Dalton replaced him and they promised a more down to earth Bond.
4/ I was kinda disappointed by LD, but I loved LTK. I thought it was more badass and more Fleming than the other. However, many of my friends thought it wasn't James Bond anymore and just a copy of Lethal Weapon and Miami Vice. Most of those had never read any Fleming novel of course.
5/ The 80's Bond see the team trying stuff, then re-adjusting for the next film. LTK is part of that. In fact, I wanted all 4 Brosnan to be even more hard hitting than LTK. Apart TND I don't think they achieved that level.
True Lies action for me, was what the James Bond of the 90's should have equaled.
But of course you can't do that when you got half or a third of James Cameron's budgets.
For LTK reception, remember there were different edits, with the US getting a PG version.
I think that's the reason it tanked, it should have been uncut as the uncut version is way more hard-hitting.
Those of us who saw the uncut first, were going "Yes, that's how edgy Bond should be!".
I remember when Bond grabs the harpoon, says "Compliments of Sharky!" and nails the frogman, I went "YEAAAAHHHHH!!!" LOL from then on, I was 200% into the film and story.
Fans always wanted scenes like Moore killing the guy from the cliff in FYEO. From that moment on, it was clear to the audience that's where Bond should go, but I'm guessing Cubby was the conservative who wanted to keep those films family oriented, and it took a while to break from that influence.
No, M uses the word in SF, and Pepper is also saying it in LALD, although cut off so it is more implied.
One question though, is the Alfa Romeo GTV6 covered? If not, I’d be disappointed and the title of the book would also be incorrect :p
You could even allege that Dalton is saying it in TLD when he's trying to tell Kara to board the plane. It definitely looks like he's mouthing it! :)
Maybe I'm starting "Bond mouthing things" v 2.0 with that one ;)
About the only thing I know is that it appeared on his 1970 album entitled "Ready When You Are, JB".
For those unfamiliar with it, here it is in all its drum-filled, heavy-synth glory:
Also here:
If they work for Octopussy, what’s their motive for helping Kamal Khan?
If they work for Kamal then why are they performing at Octopussy’s circus.
It’s revealed that Octopussy and Kamal are partners with Orlov for the fake jewellery theft, but that’s a business deal that all benefit from. The odd usage of the twins is quite confusing .
You could even throw Orlov into the equation as one of the twins is seen at the Kremlin art repository with Orlov.
I think they’re great villains and are a good inclusion in the film. But I got thinking about it whilst sat in traffic this morning, and couldn’t really answer it.
1. When did you see Bond drink water? He's only drinking liquor. He has a higher risk of having a kidney problems and also liver problems. I never saw him drinking water.
2. If the villains die, they're rich, right? Where do you think their wealth will go? What will happen to their properties and wealth?
Where ever the villain is from their wealth probably would be taken by that country's government
I once wrote a short "essay"about Bond and water. As far as I know, Bond never drank water. He even isn't seen drinking after the desert scene in TSWLM.
Leiter is drinking water in QoS and Beam tells him better no to do, thinking that kids peed in it...
OHMSS is sort of different in a way, isn't it? If you mean the bit in M's office, Bond seems to be sort of imagining things he didn't see but knows happened i.e. he was presumably unconscious when Tracy was taken out of the avalanche? I think we see him flail around a bit but did he see it? I'm not sure. But there might be another flashback in it I've forgotten.
