The Top 10 Cringe-Worthy Moments in the Bond Film Franchise
TripAces
Universal Exports
This came to mind during the discussion on the Beach Boys PTS in AVTAK (definitely ranked below). What moments in Bond films make you cringe?
Mine, in no particular order:
1. The Tarzan call in OP
2. Beach Boys' "California Girls" in the PTS of ATVTAK.
3. Sheena Easton's appearance in the FYEO title sequence.
4. The hockey players being thrown in goal by Bond, and the scoreboard tallying each one. (FYEO)
5. Bond trying to find Blofeld in the PTS in DAF: in the first scene, he asks, "Where is he?" The man answering doesn't hardly move his lips, but he yells "Cai...Cai..Cairo!"
6. The stunt double in the sawed-off car in AVTAK.
7. The Close Encounters theme being used as the keypad code in MR.
8. The invisible car in DAD.
9. Cartoonish space/sky background as Blofeld's spaceship returns to the volcano lair in YOLT.
10. The bad lighting and set design in the Afghan jail scene in TLD. (It looks like a set from The Brady Bunch. Just bad, really bad.)
Honorable mention: Mr. Big turns into a balloon in the climactic scene in LALD (it's early 70s special effects, so I should cut them some slack); The elephant playing slots in DAF; Jaws survives a free-fall, landing on a circus tent in the PTS of MR; Bond getting into bed with MayDay in AVTAK; Pepper showing up in TMWTGG.

@StirredNotShaken, is this the one you had in mind? If not, please post the link as soon as you find it. :-)
Plus that stupid scene Bond and Triple X are bouncing along in the broken van after leaving Jaws to the Egyptian builders...cringe!
