Might be right.
Bond: "I must be six inches shorter!"
LOL! =))
In Octopussy I recall him shouting HEY at a tour group to stop and wait to pick him up but he didn't really say Help.
Is that Bond or am I thinking of a similar movie ;)
i think you got Bond mixed up with Road House..
I found the TB scenario unbecoming of the uber-cool SC Bond actually. While it showed his vulnerability in that particular instance, the call for help just seemed a little out of character.......to me.
I recall Lazenby either calling for help or showing real fear in his eyes while down at the base of the mountain escaping those thugs at the Murren ice rink and when Bunt interrupted his rendezvous with Ruby.
What else could he realistically have done in that situation though? He had no handy gadget with which to escape the machine or stop it dead in its tracks. I don't myself see how this demeans Bond in any way. In fact, as I said above, it only serves to make him more human and in so doing, highly admirable for all that.
Totally agree. Certainly it made him more human. It's just that it seemed a little out of character to me for that era's Bond (the call for help, if not the fear). Rog handled it better in his similar trapped encounter in MR imho.
Somehow I don't think Craig will be yelling for help in SPECTRE...
Brosnan also showed a concern for his life during his encounter with Dr. Kauffman, as well as suffering from shoulder injury in TWINE, even not wanting Q to retire soon, because he knows he is going to miss him. Aren't these features humane enough?
This is precisely my point. Its the 'help!' itself that I found quite unusual. Thankfully he redeemed himself with the excellent '6 in's taller line', plus, he's uber-macho Connery, so I thought nothing of it. If Brozza had yelled 'help' that would have been it for me.
It shows that Bond is far from invincible in TB. I really enjoyed how he is put in a tight spot in such a simple way.

Might be what he was ready to do it.
I work as a healthcare administrator ..if we have an aide in immediate danger the protocol is to yell. ..

You both are wrong. that scene was Cary Grant begging from help from the henchman Martin Landau in Hitchcock's "North by Northwest. "
