The winking fish? You'll have to remind me of that one
:|
When Bond and Pam kiss in the pool at the end, the camera pans to a winking fish, then credits roll.
DN: Leave as is
FRWL: Leave as is
GF: The scene where Auric gets sucked out of the airplane
TB: Leave as is
YOLT: The scene where the helomagnet drops the car into the bay.
OHMSS: The scene where George says "This never happened to the other fellow"
DAF: The scene that Tiffany is in after she gets slapped.
LALD: The scene where Kananga has over inflated opinion of himself
TMWTGG: The scene where Roger gets cheeky with the Sumo wrestler
TSWLM: The scene where Barbara Bach tries to act
MR: The scene in the last half hour of the film.
FYEO: The scene that starts or finishes the film.
OP: The scene where Roger encounters an animal or yells in the jungle
AVTAK: The scene with Grace Jones
TLD: Leave as is
LTK: The scene where Krest loses his head
GE: Leave as is
TND: The scene with Teri Hatcher
TWINE: The scene where Denise Richards speaks
DAD: The scene not involved with the PTS or the fencing duel
CR: The scene where a little finger is mentioned
QOS: The scene where the cameraperson can't hold the camera still
SF: The scene with the kimoda dragons
These are very well thought-out. FYEO didn't need both Bibi and Thatcher. QoS didn't need the boat chase nor the plane chase; it needed to slow down and give us some drama.
Classic!
But the sound design is great!
1) Every time Jinx opens her mouth to say something "witty" or "funny" - so most of Jinx cut out, yeah, would be good. Different actress would help, too, of course.
2) The blowing up of Kanaga/Mr. Big (what a terrible ending - as in looks so cheesy and bad, stupid, wrong! - for a great villain)
3) Happy Felix at the end of LTK (What the ...?!)
4) Sanchez whipping Lupe (made me feel sick and pretty much turned me off to the entire film) It was unnecessary to be shown and really bothered me.
5) Dolly and Jaws in love. Oh yuk. Please no.
6) Several of Stacey's scenes in AVTAK, especially running from the blimp - and going to sleep in her home, in a slinky teddy, no care in the world, after James has just killed people to protect her.
7) Several of Denise Richards' scenes in TWINE, especially the godawful ending.
8) More from MR, so much really; but for pete's sake get rid of the horrible Bondola.
9) The winking fish from LTK, too.
10) Bond dropping the gun in TMWTGG. Stupid.
11) Bond being made up to look Japanese in YOLT. I know it was in the book. But come on, really now; he is a tall Scot.
12) Corrine's death, and in particular how it is set up in MR
13) Strawberry Fields' death in QOS; I felt it was an unnecessary and unimaginative homage to Goldfinger and killed off a character I quite liked
14) Pretty much all of the "angels" the girls in OHMSS, especially the hypnotizing them to stop their habits, cure their problems ("I love chicken, it is delicious, I will eat chicken" etc. - whatever it was). Incredibly stupid and annoying.
15) Mary Goodnight pushing a button with her bikini-clad bottom in TMWTGG.
16) Bond being rude and mean to the little kid, shoving him off the boat in same film, TMWTGG (which has plenty I'd like to cut out, I dare say).
17) NO surfing tsunami in DAD, please no.
18) NO invisible car in DAD, please no.
19) Lazenby's "This never happened to the other fella" - I hated it, line and delivery. (OHMSS)
20) "California Girls" playing during ski scene in AVTAK
21) along those musical lines, also: the pennywhistle or whatever it was when the car does an amazing flip in TMWTGG, and the Tarzan yell in Octopussy
22) M getting kidnapped in TWINE, so stupid. A lot of TWINE would be cut out for me, yeah.
23) "Blofeld" getting his demise in the PTS in the otherwise stellar FYEO.
So that is 23 for 23 films. Enough for today.
I know that I'm in the minority but this never bothered me.
I must be in an even smaller minority then because I bloody love it!
SF - The scene where Silva is in the isolation cell
Goldfinger didn't need the mobsters at all, and Goldfinger should've been taken out at Fort Knox. The plane sequence is awful. I really dislike GF, there's no other Bond film with such an exciting, promising first half and, to that level, a disproportionately bad and disappointing second.
@4EverBonded
Blofeld" getting his demise in the PTS in the otherwise stellar FYEO.
I agree, but it also has been speculated that EON did that to send a message to Kevin McClory that EON was done with Blofeld.
Brilliant... Though I love all of OHMSS and enjoyed Grace Jones, this is a brilliant list.
1. Sheep's head for dinner in Octopussy. I can safely say that the popcorn, raisinets, and drink I was enjoying while watching this in the theater in 1983 suddenly became a bit uncomfortable.
2. Carmen duSautoy/Saida in TMWTGG. Rog should have got hazard pay alone for that scene. Somehow I just know that Harry had something to do with her hire.
3. Madonna as Verity. Her lines rated right there with Berry's for cringeworthy.
4. Sam Bond and virtual sex with Bond. Who could forget this cinematic gem?
5. Rog in bed with Grace Jones and her big black dildo. Forget about hazard pay. Bigger share of residuals, please!
The sheep's head was a bit much. Put me off hard-boiled eggs for days.
Well, you should have seen the proposed scene where Bond is forced to bed an addled old whore (Saida) if you thought the version that we got was bad, @SirHenryLeeChaChing!
I can't even think about that. I was already scarred for life after scene #5.
@Kitty- sorry my dear friend, I don't get your Jones appreciation. I didn't think she looked like a man, mind you. But I have insisted for many years that a cardboard cutout of her on my front porch steps would scare the neighborhood kids away- even during Halloween!
For me, finally I watched OHMSS yesterday, and the last scene was really unneccessary.
DC in the shower with Vespa - cold emotional emo crap
DC in a burning hotel with Tom boy - hot emotional emo physco crap
DC drinking beer and being a moody teensger in Skyfall - Bond should never be seen this broken
Q disappearing before our eyes in TWINE....too sad, lump in throat moment...
I really wish that bit would just disappear from the movie. Fetch your own damn shoes, white man!
Therefore has a place in the film
The Only defence I have is I can imagine Sean's bond telling anyone regardless of creed, religion or colour to " fetch his shoes"
The "Fetch my shoes" line was about Quarrel being Bond's assistant. If we look, we will find other examples of Bond giving directions throughout the movies.
It is our modern sensitivity to racism that makes that particular one stand out.
