May be Mendes could do his self-referencing thing again (a la the DB5 in SF) in B24, with the villain of the movie being the guy who did the CGI on DAD.
The Bondola was good until it got out of the water to show off to the Italian public.
But it's the CGI that makes so damn awful.
In the windsurfing scene yes, but The invisible car stuff doesn't bother me. I wonder if the invisible car was inspired by Metal Gear Solid's stealth camouflage.
I'm also referring to the CGI on the Vanquish.
Bond's gadgets were always cutting edge and/or working prototypes.
Even 12 years on from DAD and the "adaptive camouflage" has not been developed anywhere near to the level as portrayed in the film.
At least we currently have a space station! ;-)
I apologize for being tediously nitpicky, but I just couldn't let that go: It's Tchaikovsky. You make him sound like Zukovsky. ;) He's one of my heroes, a terrific artist! Such a shame he has to be associated with that scene...
The use of his music in the film is the real insult. How could they?
To make matters worse its used embarrassingly not once but twice in Bond history.
"The bubbles tickle my...Tchaikovsky!"
I hope she was going to say her legs.
Also, where did that second missile in the car chase explode? Did it carry on until Rekjavik?
I will have to re-watch it soon,it is in 18th place at the moment on my list,behind GF and ahead of FYEO.
The bottom of my list is very very changeable compared to the top which rarely does.
Positively shocking!
(But it is up and down like a bloody yo-yo on my list tbh haha )
I might try MR next,God help me, if i get time before the World Cup.
If you gonna watch MR, I will say "Good Luck". You will positively enjoy the PTS aerial stunt and Chang is tops. The centrifuge scene is one of the few times when Moore actually looks scared and you believe he is in real danger. The movie starts to take a dip after Jaws is introduced and Dolly just sinks it to an all time low. Lois Chiles borders on cringeworthy as a Bond girl.
I would say that Chang is one of Moonraker's weaknesses. Why a man like Drax would employ Chang, I'm at loss. And all he does is bloody scream ("Ayaaaah!"). Geez, and some people said Stacey Sutton was annoying...
At least Chang does not scream: "James! Don't leave me! James! JAAAAMES!".
At least Roberts can act, rather than being cast out of the blue for being Michael G. Wilson's kendo instructor.
I agree more with OHMSS. Chang has a lot more menace to him. He's taking pure delight in that centrifuge scene. And he's got some humor about him unlike Stamper or Kil. Something's just funny. And when he just goes pure crazy during that fight scene he truly earns his stripes as a good henchman. Memorable, zany, and up to no good.
