The plot is as convoluted as ever, and plays homage to Howard Hughes. I wonder how many newer Bond fans watching DAF today get that reference?
I'm fascinated by DAF's period in history. Really a transitional film. There are characters that look right out of 1971: Mr Kidd, several of Felix's CIA agents, yet the balloon barker looks like he belongs in the 1940's as does Marc Lawrence. Cool stuff, IMO.
The oil rig climax gets some flack, but I always liked it. Maybe it's not as big as the volcano set piece, or the supertanker battle, but I'll take it over the last several Bond endings any day. Overall a fun film.
It’s been trending up for me the last 3 or 4 watches. It has a lot of good energy and excitement to it. It’s definitely a good one I think.
The film has grown on me big time in recent times.
Great photo:
I will be difficult for a future Bond film to top that – and not only be the number of villains! LALD is one of the films that I usually rank higher and higher for each viewing. Roger introduced himself as Bond in a so effortlessly cool way only he could do.
;)
Me neither.
They were criminally under-used .
Wint and Kidd needed a lot more scenes in the film.
They need their own film.
Alas,as you know ,Bruce is the only one left .
They could recast.
Brokewint Mountain
Nope .
IMO they couldn’t be replaced .
Anyway, since DAF is more of a follow-up to YOLT instead of OHMSS, should we watch DAF next or OHMSS? It just seems DAF would seem less jarring if watched next.
It reminds me of the revenge theme suggestion to watch From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, then For Your Eyes Only for their connections.
Dr. No, definitely.
Goldfinger.
