    I considered Robbie Coltrane, but decided to take a pass.
    I do love his Valentin, though.

    If I were a woman, I'd be all over Robbie. And there's quite a bit of Robbie to be over, no? ;-)

    Wow, missed out on so much of these. I figure I'm on a roll and then I completely forgot. Guess I'll join in now!

    1.) Vesper (Nothing more needs to be said!)
    2.) Severine (Steamy shower sex with Severine. What more could you want?)
    3.) Camille (not a hookup, but I love their relationship.)
    4.) Solange
    5.) Fields (Seems so out of the blue and merely there so Bond has another hookup, but I love their bed banter.)

    Ah, Craig's era, let me think ... so difficult:

    1 through 3) Daniel Craig's Bond (naturally!)
    5) Mathis (Giancarlo is Giancarlo still, what can I say?) ;)
    5) Leiter (Wright)

    Was thinking maybe surely someone else, too, but no.

    6 - The urine joke.

    5 - Bond's suitcase with the foie gras and such.

    4 - Klaus Maria Brandauer.

    3 - The casino scenes.

    2 - Connery's haircut. ;-)

    1 - Spectre's threat video.

    1 Better Largo. TB's largo just comes off as a grumpy old guy.

    2 Bond ready for an unhealthy stay at the spa.

    3 Better roughing up of henchmen. (Shower guy vs Casino Guy tricked into thinking Bond's cigar case is a Bomb.)

    4 Better death of Bond's female partner.

    5 Better flight device. (Jetpack vs Missile Jet platform.)

    6 Lippe fight! I forgot.

    1. Klaus Maria Brandauer shits on Celi and is one of the most underrated villains in Bond. Just off the top of my head he's also better than Blofeld (DAF), Stromberg, Kristatos, Whitaker, Graves and Greene and arguments could be made for several others.

    2. Continuity.

    3. The fight with Lippe is decent and there's no fight in TB which is as good.

    Ermm that's about it - God knows I'm no big fan of TB but I can't really think of one other area where it is trumped by NSNA.

    The fight onboard the Disco at the end of the film says hi.

    Mediocre at best. The sped up footage, choppy editing and shoddy back projection drag it right down. I like how Bond viciously throws the camera in the guys face but that's about it.

    In fairness I forgot the PTS which is probably be better than the NSNA fight.

    I would say the fight scenes are very poor in Never Say Never Again but then mostly everything is. I'm not a fan of the fight you mention at all. I believe there are a lot of great action moments in Thunderball however. It has some heavy and violent moments.

    I have not seen it in years. Offhand all I can think of for sure are ...

    1) Klaus Maria Brandauer - yes, I remember him being good, and I think a better Largo
    2) better Domino's brother

    1. Agreed with others here on Brandauer. A great villain.

    2. Bond's fight with Lippe.

    I can't honestly think of another four. I may edit at a later point if anything comes to mind.
