Or how nobody on the frigate heard the gunshots fired by Xenia. ;)
I've wondered if in fact it is actually 006/Trevelyan/Janus himself?
I've wondered the same, myself. What I posted earlier was nothing more than a curious ramble, I doubt it's him, and usually assume it's either Ourumov or Trevelyan. Some times I'm convinced it's one of them, other times I'm convinced it's the other.
@DarthDimi, glad I'm not the only one and haven't started to lose my mind. ;). I don't know what it was, I've seen the movie hundreds upon hundreds of times, but when I sat through the rest of it today, I saw the thug run in and it made me think how he looked a bit like Farrell, and perhaps that was the impostor.
Absolutely no merit or basis behind it, it was simply my incoherent mind (wonder why!) trying to create something that wasn't there. ;)
Shame on me: I consider myself to be a Hammer fan and didn't take this into account.
We are probably talking three or four years. (Ref. the theme song vote)
But I suspect it was merely to raise the stakes of the PTS that they were so rough on Tracy.
@Birdleson, you're right, sir. :)
I dunno, about Nick Nack's recipe but if you want something awesome and easy with mushrooms, stir fry them with minced garlic and coarse salt. Then add eggs and scramble 'em.
Can someone tell me how the hell did Bond manage to go to Talamone in QOS if they had already cut off his credit card?
1/ How does he find a cord that is so very long (60 foot minimum)?
2/ Have you ever seen a cord that was at least 60 foot long that you could just rip away from a window?
3/ How does he know it is exactly the right length? If it was just a few feet longer, he would have died on hitting the concrete below. If it was twenty feet shorter, he would be left dangling in the air.
4/ He appears to tie the cord to his belt. Why doesn't the initial impact of the fall cause him internal injury?
5/ Why would the Bond producers and the script writers think this was a good stunt when it was so devoid anything that even slightly resembles realism?
6/ Did a single person on the set or Pierce Brosnan himself think it was a bad idea?
3 - He guaged it with his eyes. He is Bond after all.
4. Because he attaches the other end to that bloke as a counterweight to lessen the impact.
5. Because it is a good stunt. The shot from the top of the balcony as he goes over the edge is spectacular. I wish there was a single stunt as good as that in either Mendes film.
I presume you prefer the realism of the spiral car jump which took a computer to work out the calculations to make it possible and the driving column having to be moved to the centre of the car to balance it?
6. What makes you think Pierce had any influence over this? He's not Daniel 'exec producer' Craig. And given most of the same people on the set were there during DAD I guess the answer is people just don't speak up when things are going to shit.
Also you seem to have omitted the least credible aspect off your list - namely a thin cord used for opening the blinds is unlikely to have the tensile strength to support a falling man.
One of the big mistakes of the movie. I blame the director. The PTS does not have to be all action extravaganza.
