Same goes for the first six Quantum of Solace adaptations. I only ever saw QUANTUM OF SOLACE 7 Would be grateful if someone could tell me where I can find these other lost Bond films.
I have a question too. When Bond and Tilly escape in the DB5 in Goldfinger, Bond comes to a fork in the road and the DB5 almost goes over. However, a second before this there are what seem to be red lights in the distance. What are those?
Security : The guy in the chain knows only the guy he got the diamonds from and the one he gives the diamonds to. What we saw on screen was the last run of the chain (which must have gone on from quite some time, judging from the satellite we see). And Wint and Kidd had to eliminate every link in it, not just give the diamonds to Blofeld.
Yeah good point. Because the Las Vegas police are immediately going to connect the death of Shady Tree with some random old woman found in a canal in Amsterdam and a bloke found dead of a scorpion bite in the middle of the South African veld where no one even saw these two 'freakish' (is that a reference to their homosexuality because they don't strike me as particularly outstanding apart from being a tad camp?) men. I'm pretty sure it's standard police procedure to cross reference a murder with every other murder in the world just in case there's a link.
A more pertinent question would be about their competence. Why with all the others do the they make sure they kill them there and then but with Bond they just leave and assume it gets done? Even if you give them a free pass after the shambles at the crematorium why not garrotte Bond or shoot him in the head before you place him in the pipe to make sure this time? After all SPECTRE does not tolerate failure. Mind you Charles Gray doesn't seem to give a toss; where are his screams of 'Kill Bond now!!!'? Seems to me like Wint & Kidd get off very lightly for their ineptitude when you consider the fate of Helga it poor old Lippe who was executed because the bloke he chose suddenly wanted more money at the last minute.
Charles Gray's Blofeld seemed a much more tolerant boss and an unmenacing one. Regarding TB, Lippe was killed because of his behavior at Shrublands as much if not more than his dangerous attitude towards Angelo/Derval. His recklessness and his lack of flexibility could have cost the success of the whole operation, something Fiona Volpe understood quickly.
I think Wint and Kidd are fairly competent killers, if only because they stack a fairly high body count. That said, their victims were not the hardest target. Come to think of it, neither is James Bond in DAF.
He was a couple of years above me at secondary school in Oxford. Fairly sure it would have been noticed at the time!
Happy to help.
Again, back to the original point, no middleman was really needed. Kidd and Wint could have taken the diamonds directly from the Dentist to Blofeld.
Yes, but they were also charged with terminating with extreme prejudice every link of the chain at the same time.
That is a good question. I've always pondered it myself. Did Bond intend to go on a kamikaze mission or something??
Even without any chaos in the cockpit NASA never seemed to get stuff in the air at the first time of asking with delays hampering progress and I imagine it wouldn't take much effort to flag up some significant red alert / abort warning.
That is also what I always assumed.
I think that is general ourumov
Like Flint.
