But I l think Lazeby is best in this department!
Brill..... :-B
Ah that' a good scene! So many that have been listed on this thread I agree with.
Maybe a few of my favorites are Red Grant and Bond on the train, the stairwell fight in CR (really viscereal), the sword fight in DAD (highlight of the film for me), Bond fighting Jaws at the pyramids ... hmm, more for sure, but those for now.
Bond and Jaws at the Pyramids is kind of strange in some sense, and I say that because it's visually stunning and over-the-top epicness, but it's way too short, so I've never known if I should consider it a fight, you know what I mean?
Thank you, brother, both for the agreement and this beautiful embedded video!
It was also the first of its kind.. sort of. Apparently the filming process was so out of order, and out of so many spots the editor of the film (his name escapes me, sorry) had to go with faster cuts. To try and cover what he thought was 'bad' editing at the time, they over did the sound effects of glass shattering, etc. Yet, when the film premiered, it was well taken, and its a fact that that style of film making is responsible for almost every edgy action flick since.
Ok, it wasn't fists so to speak, but at least 'hand to hand combat' by way of swordfighting, I thought it was worth an inclusion. It's not a bad ten minute sequence in an otherwise piece of crap Bond release, Keeps the interest and one of Brosnan's best battles of his tenure
Necros' attack in the MI6 safehouse in TLD where the butler/agent interrupts him is pretty brutal. I remember wincing when he throws a full pan of water at him. It looked a heavy pan and its so fast. Very energetic fight.
But my top fight is Bond and Necros on the Antonov. When they slid off into space the entire audience gasped.
That's my favourite too. I also like the GE fight and the fight with Oddjob.
Of course, there aren't very many fights without 007, but you're right, Necros against Green Four is really great!
EDIT: Sorry, the video won't work! It was the fight mentioned above, a shame it won't play!
"I can read your every move"
"READ THIS...BITCH" <:-P
I can't stand the damn awful fight sequence on the airplane in Die another Day, watching that is always painful. The ugly, abhorrent Berry character getting one over on the nice Frost girl and 'Read this Bitch', etc, just makes me slump in my seat. WHY OH WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE KILLED OFF HER AND KEPT FROST AS THE GOOD GIRL AND LET HER LIVE, I'm not even usually watching this horrid movie by that time, but know the film back to front and inside out of course
Tee Hee and Moore on the train in LALD for sure if it hasn't been mentioned, better than Jaws and Moore in '77 for me
I actually enjoyed the end duel between Bond and Graves somewhat, I loved how the plane was getting torn apart, with glass flying everywhere and the winds raging around them as the fought, I thought it was really Bondish. It's funny though, Graves actually put up a better fight than 007 there!
But he had a robo suit! it was an unfair fight!
i thought it was ten barrels of fermented shit.
Had Bond come to this under Brosnan? Some naff DC comics rubbish? And the dialogue and delivery but the pantomine shititude of Toby Stephens (an actor I have alot of respect for but not in this) was just stab a knife in your eye painful....
I rather enjoyed the ending, I thought Graves' death was memorable and Bondish. I didn't see too much of the camp with the finale battles of Bond vs. Graves, except maybe the electricity suit, which wasn't necessary. Still, it's climatic, and I haven't found it to be a problem compared to the other previous scenes like the windsurfing or any dialogue with Jinx or Zao.
Yes, the suit is stupid, as my friend and I call it his "nerdy video game suit." As for the CGI, it may be noticeable, but it didn't bother me too much. I was too foucused on the fight itself, which is actually pretty brutal in some parts, if you ask me.
Both fights give you the feeling that 007 might lose, which I never had again in the later movies.
I'd say that 007 vs. 006 in GE and 007 vs. Obanno in CR were both life-and-death tense.
I found that fight between 006 and 007 lasting too long or it started to annoy me, and the Obanno fight was in the intermesso in the cardmatch and that took some of the edge of since the cardgame was far more exciting than the fight.
All imho. O:-)
Fair enough, I guess our tolerances to the CGI are what separates us!
Probably so! Kind of like the CGI in GoldenEye when Bond is trying to catch the falling plane in the PTS. It's blatantly obvious, but I don't care! (It also helps that GE is my #1 favorite)
