There has to be a computer program that could make the entire film with CGI elements or maybe someone could put together some clips of him; the outline for the script exists here on this site, doesn't it? You could get some actors to act it out and do VO. They have done that with some of the missing Warner Oland Chan films using still shots and hired actors. Pretty cool in fact.

That was SO cool!!!!
A little bit of a trim and Bond is BACK
This thread is aimed at the succesfull follow up of Timothy Dalton and it seems only fair that he gets his own thread on this subject with his own ramblings from his fans that seem to purposly try to hijack every Brosnan thread with their hero. O:-)
says it all really...
Fair enough. Though the Brozzas will only say Pierce should come back on the Dalts thread!:) All said and done, it must be damn hard for any Bond actor to watch another one replace them. And then hear all the negativity of their tenure. That is the downside of playing Bond. Only Connery is bullet proof!
LTK is Tarantino style before Tarantino. The scene where Bond kills Killifer is so Tarantino. In fact Killifer looks like one of the guys from reservoir Dogs and is dressed similar.
I must say that some parts of LTK are Reservoir Bond. LTK was shocking to the same film censor in the UK who banned Reservoir Dogs on home video. LTK was initially goven an 18 certificate and cut to a 15. It was the sadism that the censor was unhappy about.
Felix is only treated slightly better than the infamous torture scene in Reservoir Dogs.
Exactly, he's the worst movie maker ever!! Ridiculous dialogues, ridiculous scripts, idiotic cinematography, everything that a six year old kid could think of.
I feel the very same about it.
Yes, but the Licence to kill is also the worst Bond movie!
I don't find that to be true. For me, Moonraker carries that distinction.
Be part of what makes it hard for me to sit through. I just don't prefer James Bond as a superhero, fighting super-villains.
You are just stating your subjective opinion. There are those who do the same thing when they say CR 1967 is the best Bond movie.
LTK is a standout of the series and took huge risk which at the seemed to backfire but later was a bravery that the Craig era took in a modern direction.
Moonraker has some great moments but even the producers admitted that the Bond in space theme was a dangerous misstep and took Bond literally down to earth in the next film.
Jaws is a pantomine villain that was aimed at children. I loved Moonraker when I was 11 years old.
Bonds best friend is tortured by an escaped drug lord (and his friends wife killed), and so with all the usual gadgets, girls and one liners, Bond goes rogue to assassinate the drug lord. After failing, he decides instead to try and take out the drug lords organisation from the inside, but the trouble is the drug lord is an insane evil genius who vaules loyalty over anything (even blowing up the head of a man he thought was a traitor). After sleeping with the villians girlfriend and teaming up with a hot ex pilot, Bonds cover is finally blown and after battling a henchman on a cocaine grinder he destroys the drug lords lab then takes out an oil tank truck convoy led by him, destroying his entire operation. Bond finishes things off by burning the drug lord alive with a lighter given to him by his friend, then after getting his job back he gets off with the hot pilot.
Even typed out it sounds awesome. And in a series that includes such masterpieces as "the bad guy is a korean turned white guy with a robo suit and a giant laser" and "a french pussy is stealing water, time to stop him Bourne style", you honestly think LTK is the worst?
Never worked for me (even when it first came out). Just too darn silly for my tastes, and a long way away from the Bond of Fleming's books that got me interested in the character in the first place. Moonraker the book I find to be one of the better Bond books; Moonraker the movie is about what I see as a wholly unbelievable character doing wholly unbelievable things. I just was never able to suspend my disbelief while watching it.
Hrmfff... Need I say more about stating once opinion as though it were a fact...
About Moonraker, I never said it was my favourite, I just said that it was a good Bond movie.
The reason why I dislike LTK is that it is far too dark and violent.
SF showed flipping 007 as an almost Terminator and that is better?
Moonraker is still a great movie with some fun setpieces but it does have a very dark heart. The women in this movie either die awefull or almost very awefull (a very scary Jaws in Brasil wants to bite a neck). And has its lovely over the top moments. And I do dislike the dove moment, but if that is the worst than by all means.............
