It looks like him ,thought it might be an in-joke...i cant see what a stuntman would be doing there...
Sounds like a load of bull.
I didnt know that @Murdock ,it's just what i have seen with my own eyes over the years ..!!
I'm not sure if this was a purposeful move on the part of Monica that was directed by Mendes or an accident as she got into character and felt connected to Lucia's fear and pain, but otherwise it gives us an interesting insight into her character and her mixed emotions. Lucia hated her husband, but without him she's now risking death, causing a bittersweet turmoil inside of her that reveals itself in the tear. Much like Madeleine and her view of White, they both hate and miss the men that've departed from them at the same time, albeit for different reasons, which makes for an interesting sub-theme of the film.
In YOLT, when Bond encounters Blofeld, the cat jumps from Blofeld's arms and coils itself around a henchman's legs. We cut to close-up of Bond and then back to the long shot: the cat is suddenly gone.
Yeah, that cat was a real riot. I wonder what it must've been thinking, with all those explosions and smoke wafting through the set, with all the shaking and sparks around it.
The poor thing was probably terrified!
If there is a better sign of this out there than the shot of Pleasence's arm being shredded by its claws, I've not seen it.
Yes, Donald Pleasance never fully recovered from the experience. Hence the stilted delivery and vacant-eyed performances that defined the rest of his career.
@Some_Kind_Of_Hero, WAIT. So you mean to say that while playing Dr. Loomis in the Halloween films, the fear and dread Pleasence exuded wasn't derived from his pure talent and connection to the script's material, but by his flashbacks dealing with that hair-trigger cat?
This changes everything, and the news has resulted in two separate time periods in my life. The time before I knew the truth of Pleasence's acting, and the time after I knew the truth. Everything has changed utterly, a terrible beauty is born.
But Bond didn't actually kill her Fiona...did he? I guess it is open to debate.
It's always difficult to determine the culprit of killing in situations like TB, where Bond doesn't directly kill Fiona as he did, say, Elektra, but his actions in the moment did lead to Fiona's death nonetheless. Because Fiona would've lived without Bond's actions, I think it's pretty safe to say that he killed her far more than he didn't. Her underlings supplied the bullet, but it was Bond who used the path of that bullet to serve his own ends, concluding Fiona's life.
He certainly had a choice when he took out Naomi. If I remember correctly, she didn't even know where the car was at the time, and was hovering over the water looking for it when he fired the missile.
I believe it's one of Columbo's lines: "In this pizness there is much risico..."
What @Tanaka says. When you try to get an accent in writing you have to do it phonetically. Hence Risico. Well done about the spelling in those langauges though!
