As for the less-than-complimenting pictures, that seems rather mean if you ask me. I've seen another website that posted unflattering pictures of a Bond actor. It was called CraigNotBond. It now seems fair game to do it with Brosnan now that Craig is regarded as the bee's knees - rather unfair on the chap to be honest.
As for Connery's superior "coolness", ive got four words "Never Say Never Again". He looked like an overweight middle aged dad in that film.
Don't get too far off topic.
As for that clip, yes, it was unintentionally hilarious.
And as for the Connery comment, he was 53 years old in the movie. Moore wasn't looking like Leonardo Dicaprio, either, by the time AVTAK was released.
No hard feelings :)
I think Moore in View does look better than NSNA Connery though. Connery was the slimey dad who still thinks he's cool. Moore was the handsome, loveable, ageing (but not particularly threatening) uncle.
On topic, I liked the quick moment in DAD when he takes the case and glasses from Mr Van Beard in Cuba before giving a cheekey smile and ordering him away at gunpoint. That's pure Bond. As is the scene on the boat in GE when he looks down, see's a reflection running towards him, beats up the guy and calmly dabs his face with a towel.
Yeah, Moore was much better looking by his age than Connery. I thought Moore was like that, too, but when he really wanted revenge or was desperately trying to finish the mission (defusing the bomb in OP, or telling off Zorin in AVTAK), you can really see in his eyes that he is now mean, ruthless, and means business.
@BAIN, since you posted that clip from 'Taffin', have you ever seen it? Or any of Brosnan's early work, like 'The Heist' or 'Death Train'? Albeit cheesy, they were still pretty entertaining.
Killing Elektra.
Hitting Renard on the head, readying his execution.
No, I haven't seen Taffin but that clip is fairly well known on YouTube.
I remember thinking at the time Tamahori is settling scores with that character - the Springboks must have beaten the Allblacks at rugby.
I must admit I am beginning to feel abit sorry for Brozzer.
"Unless you want to be known as Fidel Castrato."
Something I've noticed about Brosnan is that he holds things in a unique way, something with his fingers that always bugged me when I watched these scenes. He may do it in other films, but both instances I spotted in TWINE are when he is gripping the BMW's steering wheel on the way to meet Elektra for the first time, and when he is holding the flashlight and looking through the office after breaking out of Elektra's villa.
Back to Brosnan's most ruthless moments, another good one (probably already mentioned) was him gunning down Elektra right before she gives important details to Renard. Doesn't waste a second to think about what to do, just knows that he has to pull that trigger.
In DAD the hovercraft scene when he runs out of bullets, I like the way he chucked the guns on the floor. Very stylish.
One thing I did miss, is that he didn't do his tie thing which he did in the first two movies or was it three?
I wish he carried it on.
I also wish he smacked Paris right back in the face, tripped her up and then gave her good kicking when she smacked him in the chops.
Why those two Darth? I think Roger tried it once and looked as if he didn't like it. TD fed people to sharks so he was pretty ruthless. DC ummm - he just mopes around holding crying women in showers the big poof.
Thank you :)
