Craig is the first Bond since Connery to strangle someone with his bare hands.
With respect, let's not start contrasting comedy bits in Bond films. I agree with you about the cello bit, there was to much of that in TLD, but man the Moore films are soaked with bad comedy.
A bad@$$ moment fora bad@$$ Bond.
No silly cello gags in that film.
That stuff was saved for SP, which was disappointing in its' silly moments.
Yeah I agree there. I still remember groaning a bit at the New York, New York moment in the car chase
Comedy? I see that as Bond's ingenuity. Doing what he can with what he's got. A little more of that wouldn't go amiss in the series.
'member when Jaws flaps his arms when he's falling in MR?
That's just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, not trying to offend Moore fans, but the comedy is there.
The playing the Bond theme snake charmer in OP
Again, the tip of the iceberg.
I'll take a few bad jokes in the more solid Dalton films, no disrespect intended.
That was diabolical.
That's not worse/harder? Burning alive as apposed to being instantly dying.

He was imperious where old Rog was suave.
As one who leans toward the more thuggish incarnations Dalts gets my vote.
The cello crops up repeatedly thought the film. It's done well and used nicely. Love when they have to go back to get it.
It's the kind of motif and light touch we rarely see these days.
I think we're talking cross purposes. I was talking about the Cello case, and how some see that as comedy, I see that as showing Bond's ingenuity. Looking at the situation, Bond's options were limited.
I agree with you on the MR pre-titles. That's an impressive sequence (wasn't it something like 75 or 77 jumps for what amounted to something like 2 minutes of screentime) ruined by a misguided attempt at humor. That's a complaint that I could level at the other Moore films, such as the goofy slide whistle during barrel roll in TMWTGG.
Maybe, but I do love the way Craig deliberately turned the tables on the grinning Carlos.
All of that is great and displays Craig's cockiness and indulgence beautifully
'Guten Abend'. Class.
