I enjoyed the humor in CR and QoS. In SF and SP the humor didn't work for me, but that wasn't Craig's fault.
I'll be brief and give 1-2 examples for each
- Villain's name?
Blofeld
The Diamond Smugglers
Shatterhand
The Wizard Of Ice
The Columbite King
- Female character's name?
Risico (could be used here traditionally we have always used it as the name of the villain but Rebecca Risico wouldn't be the worst name in the film series)
The Property of a Lady
The Beautiful Lure
Slay It With Flowers
- Name of location?
The Garden of Death
007 In New York
Dynamite From Nightmare Land
The deadily Tube
- A reference to Bond's mission (eg; a codename)
The Hildebrand Rarity
The Gambit of Shame
The Richest Man in History
- Something generic
Seascape With Figures
Cards With a Stranger
The Eye That Never Sleeps
The Death Collector
- Something specific to Bond's arc
Horizons Of Agony
Nothing Propinks like Propinquity
Blood and Thunder
Hell based on these titles alone we could have films to the 2030's lol
It's interesting to me how common that reaction seems to be. I think SPECTRE's script is right up there with Casino in terms of how funny it is, at times. And Skyfall too, really, isn't far behind. A nice through-line of rather dark humour.
But for how serious Craig's films tend to be perceived, I don't think any of them really get proper credit for how funny they can be at times. QoS is the lightest on it, and...well, it's really the lightest on everything.
This. I don't understand how people can say Craig's era is humorless. The humor is there, it's just not in your face like the cheesy Moore era.
I read you obituary of me...
And?
Appauling.
Yeah I knew you’d hate it. Did call you an exemplar of British fortitude.
That bit was alright....
I also like when Bond just dumps Camille with some random bloke in QoS.
“Thank you, she’s sea sick”
:D
The Moore era was not cheesy.
Damn right Clark,he is my favourite Bond and a legend,to bring down all his efforts and the team around him to one word 'cheesy' is bloody insulting.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying that stuff but to claim that era isn't largely defined by pastiche is to not understand what it is.
Update: On Friday, 15 March from 10:35pm-midnight on BBC1 Comic Relief is giving someone the chance to win breakfast with Daniel Craig.
Even if it’s The Hildebrand Rarity is the title
Cool kids will know what I mean.
Quite possibly two filming locations used for one sequence then. Read through the article, but there's nothing to add really. Security guards apparently claimed there were water tests being conducted in the era (of all things).

In Germany THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS became DER HAUCH DES TODES, what either translates as THE BREATH OF DEATH (featuring a villain who eats a lot of garlic and onions to knock Bond unconscious) or THE ODOUR OF DEATH. But BREATH would be more accurate. Or more likely THE BREEZE OF DEATH.
Definitely.
PS Happy to see Michael doing just fine!
Exactly and there is nothing about Roman sports there, either. Romerriksporten is an underwater tunnel.
