Easily the most tense scene in the series.
And a recall to beginning of the movie where a 00 dressed as a clown paid with his life to inform his superiors. A clown started it and a clown saved the day.
It's definitely one of them. Don't know if I'd give it the #1 spot (and I know I certainly wouldn't say "easily"). There are many suspenseful moments throughout the series.
Here here. Totally agree.
Bollocks. He was paid a small fortune for DAF and gave it all to the Scottish Educational Trust. He was already an incredibly wealthy man thanks to Bond. NSNA was Connery being a 'see you next Tuesday'. Still, Cubby had the last laugh.
=D>
a load of Haggis, after OHMSS and the departure of Lazenby the producers of EON were basically with their backs against the wall as where to go next with their successful franchise. For the first time Connery was able to dictate terms and what did the crazy Scotsman, he donated his salary to a good cause which shows his contempt for EON and their cash. I believe he was mostly interested in the movie deal which was attached to the big payday.
With NSNA he finally got paid was he was worth and it paid for the golf-memberships and golf-balls in the latter day of his career.
I do find his British secret agent in The Rock a nice farewell to the brilliant start of his career. It will always have something of a Bond taste to me.
(Sorry for using a Brosnan line there...)
:))
No probem Wade or is you Purvis??? :D
He did do it for the two picture deal. Regard salary, If I remember correctly he got paid (inflation adjusted across the board) a similar figure by eon - around £16m by the time he'd got to YOLT, think NSNA was slightly less, so I've never really understood the idea he was underpaid for his services. Moore always joked about haggling with Cubby and trying to squeeze more cash out of him, but he never got cantankerous and bitter in the way Sean did in the end. It was good to hear about his phonecall with Cubby during the EON doc.
Its an opinion, nothing more, nothing less. No need to throw the toys out of the pram and use such language. Can you imagine what this forum would be like if we all reacted like that to something that we read that we though was "misplaced" ?
I find NSNA a not-very-good remake of Thunderball, and I will choose the latter always over the first. I don't compare it to Octopussy as that is a completely different film. Does NSNA belong to the series? well, solely on the fact that Mc Clory made it just to spite EON and, other then Conners, never was able during his life to give up the fight that had made so many victims, amongst whom Ian Fleming himself, I think it just doesn't deserve to be mentioned that often.
If an individual uses unacceptable language please flag it, but don't quote it.
But, I may just be being a dinosaur here...
;))
Really this site is about the fandom of a guy who kills people for a living and you get annoyed by the F-word [F-bomb is a bit much here]?
It is like the movie rating brains splattering around and guns violence gets you a 12 to 15 rating as soon as one boob is shown were up to 18. Hypocritical is the word.
The fact that the 007 franchise has always held itself back from overly use of cursing is commendable as they show it is not needed to make a movie cool, QT would even agree with this I guess. But when they do it not really a big deal. I cannot even remember it and should probably go back and see it but I consider it one of the things in SF that never really bothered me unlike a lot of things that did.
Well, that's the way we like it and to be honest, seems to be the most humane. I mean it would be far less fun if it was the other way 'round wouldn't it?
It still remains a hypocritical way of approaching violence and nudity.
Back in circa 1990/1991 when I discovered all the Bond movies as a teenager I didn't even realise that NSNA wasn't an official Bond movie. Sure I was irritated by the different opening of the movie, but that's about it. I like it very much then. Especially Brandauer impressed me a lot and of course Fatima Blush...well "family friendly forum" is all I can say.
Later, after 1995 when I got to know the story of the franchise and I knew the story of NSNA I still liked it.
Not having the normal opening for a Bond movie isn't even a topic anymore after what they have done since 2006.
The real crime committed is the score and the Bond theme. That I will never understand, that could have been so much better.
I said it elsewhere.
The supporting cast is absolutely stunning and I like M, Q and Blofeld very much.
And Connery looked 10 times better than in DAF and acted better as well.
you'd hear playing in a lift. Barbara Carrera is a villain from a Pantomime
In my opinion, it's just a really poor attempt.
100% agree, she would have been perfect within the RM series, stunning, deadly and camp
Ok go jazz ..Bond likes jazz but ... #-o
