I can see him on a snow mobile
traditionally bond actors are on a rig while being filmed.
Pierce Brosnan also could not ski.. yet we have a large ski sequense in TWINE, thanks to movie magic!
I like Zebrafish's idea - some climbing action.
LOL.. I never said they made it brilliant ski scene in TWINE,
:P
it's just an example that skiing skills aren't necessarily required!
But I agree: a climbing/hunt scene in an alpine setting could be exciting
(but this time no monkeys, pigeons or other screeching animals in an attempt to make the audiences jump out of their chairs..)
I agree. Dan's had basically everything a Bond actor could image for scenarios and locations, but some diving could be great, as we've not seen it for so long.
I just want something brutal and thrilling like at the end of TB. Not for a finale, but maybe a scuffle mid story while Bond is diving for something.
Sadly, I just don't see it fitting into a story that well.
Alongside a freshly resurrected Valentin Zukovsky, working with Bond to find something "big and black" in the sea!
A return of the blue trunks? ;)
I agree about the LTK comparison, which is probably my favorite action scene with Dalton in it, as I liked the image of Bond fighting off a swarm off divers coming at him, alongside that great escape.
I love Kamen's take on the Bond theme, especially the way it pauses and then starts again.
An underwater sequence (with a shark please) could be really cool. I've also wanted some sort of wingsuit chase/stunt for years, I think some cool ariel stunts are long overdue.
Yeah, it's my favourite not-Barry Bond score. Fit the 80s action movie vibe of LTK perfectly. Love the gunbarrel music and his arrangement of the Bond theme during the tanker chase (so epic when it kicks in).
+1 Me too, also love the music cue when Bond and Felix 'go fishing' in the PTS that they use again later during the tanker chase, epic really is the word for it.
Bond takes delivery of a frogman’s wetsuit crafted by ‘Q’ division (p.195), a heavy limpet mine with a selection of timed fuses, a commando dagger and a harpoon gun.
Suddenly he loathed and feared the sea and everything in it. (p.199)
Bond had shown genuine fear when his plane was caught in turbulence. Now, just as vividly, he imagines the million lives of the slimy things which he will be passing among as he sets out to swim to the island. Not just the obvious sharks and barracudas, but a million tiny prickly poisonous creatures who don’t want him there, who are waiting to tear, poison, rip, sting and eat him. Strangways, Quarrel and Bond watch through binoculars as the Secatur docks and various black gang members go about their tasks before Mr Big himself appears and goes ashore.
That evening he takes a Benzedrine tablet, climbs into his wetsuit, checks the air tanks, takes harpoon and dagger and disappears into the water. The fairly short underwater journey is vividly described. The main event is his feet are suddenly gripped by an octopus hidden under a rock which starts immediately dragging him beneath it. The limpet mine attached to his chest makes it impossible to get a clear aim, till he is being pulled right into the darkness and another tentacle is gripping the harpoon gun when he fires. Immediately there is a squirt of black ink into the seawater and he is released. He presses on through the reef surrounding the island, and then into clear underwater sand where suddenly he is punched in the shoulder and horrified to see red blood in the water around him. A barracuda has bitten a chunk out of his shoulder, taking wetsuit, flesh and muscle. Panicking at the thought of the other predator fish which will be here in seconds, and of being savaged to death, Bond hurtles towards a large rock and realises there is some kind of entrance behind it.
Padding along the sloping sand he emerges into an underwater chamber to find himself surrounded by men with knives and guns, and Mr Big sitting at an accounting table in a huge cave, awaiting him. They saw the black ink from the octopus and then his trail of bubbles................
