@Creasy47, we've had many fun discussions on this aspect of the Craig era before. My favorites of the era (so far):
CR- During the opening chase where, on top of the crane, Bond intercepts Mollaka's gun toss and sends the firearm coming right back at the bomb maker's face. Such a cool moment that hits home fast how badass Craig's Bond is.
QoS- Bond throwing the keys with wild abandon once in the hotel room as he begins to seduce Fields. I love how nonchalant and care free Bond is as he does this, and how he doesn't even have the energy to do a proper seduction job on her, and just cuts to the chase from the get-go.
SF- During the Skyfall finale, where Bond throws his father's gun to the side while going through the door of the home, before launching a rifle into his hands using just his foot seconds later. Every time I watch this I am in wonder of how Dan actually did it.
SP- Bond throws his gun off the bridge at the end of the London finale, saying goodbye to it and possibly his old life as he walks to Madeleine.
Honorable mention for SP is also where Bond pours himself and Lucia a drink, then sends both glasses shattering to the floor with force when she refuses to answer his questions. A great moment of Bond showing his hair-thin trigger.
Well a year after release I thought I didn't have to put spoiler alert.
The B does not stand for Bond (as I once thought too), but for Bogner. Willy Bogner worked on many of the ski scenes for this film and OHMSS. He has his own clothing line.
In the CR script there's a line from Bond to Mollaka:
It stands for Bogner, the ski wear label designed by Bond legend Willy Bogner.
I know from painful personal experience; it's frighteningly expensive and Mrs Wizard raped the Kitzbuhel store last winter.
I couldn't even be that pissed off because of the Bond connection.
... and is then magically back on the buggy a few seconds later.
One of the many dismal editing moments in DAF.
Obviously to suggest Rog gets free reign of the Gstaad store in exchange for being photographed wearing Willy's clobber would be presumptuous. I'm sure he pays full price every time.
Don't forget the door handle to the bathroom at the opera in QOS.
Except Bond doesn't inspect the body of the fallen 004 at the bottom he inspects the body of the shot SAS man at the top. One is wearing khaki one is wearing black fatigues.
Then I noticed the girl in the swimming pool at Hai Fat's place is completely starkers and displaying a 'bit of bush'....good old high definition!
Teenage boys miss nothing ! :D
You can't miss it if you keep pausing the tape.
"that'll keep you in curry for a few weeks."
...He's talking to the waiter from The Spy Who Loved Me.
I actually think the newer Bond films from the 1980s onwards actually complicate things more (often quite needlessly) rather than the older Bond films of the 1960s and 1970s, but each to their own of course! Discussion here would be very dull if we all thought the same! :)
Absolutely! TLD, TWINE and QOS are the most convoluted plots in the series, imo.
Yes, and a lot of it is down to bad writing rather than Le Carre-esque complexity.
of to escape.
nod off, near the end. ;)
Haha.
--at the Ocean Club, when Bond looks for the security DVD that Dimitrios is on, he flips through the discs BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM. No time to do anything half-assed.
--and at the start of the torture scene, henchman Kratt quickly whips out his butterfly knife, during which I swear I could almost hear the sound effects like in a Kung Fu movie, and he furiously carves the seat out of the cane-bottomed chair. Like The Wolf said in Pulp Fiction, "I'm talkin' fast, fast, fast."
An image that stayed with me long after seeing the film as 14-year-old (still the best thing in the whole movie!).
