I love that :)) It looks like a piece of cardboard, which it probably was!
That satellite is not going to withstand much pressure is space :))
The opening sequence is effective, one of my favourite scene of the film, Brosnan films often start well
Okay, here we go.
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
Watching it in the original mono, because IMO the changing of the cat's meow in the PTS is like Lucas tampering with STAR WARS.
Love the gunbarrel. Anytime I hum a gunbarrel theme to myself it's almost always this one.
This PTS really moves. Connery's sprots jacket and black polo is a great look, IMO. I should get a long sleeved black polo shirt.
The wonderful Terence Mountain. I really like Charles Gray's Blofeld.
Titles- one of my favorites in the series. Great song as well.
"Refreshing to hear there's ONE subject you're not an expert on."
Connery's reaction is priceless. Bond is amused and appreciates M's wit at Bond's expense.
Every time I watch this I'm reminded of my old barber. Dr Tynan is a dead ringer for him. Henry Rowland. I just now discovered Dr Tynan was played by Henry Rowland. For some reason I thought it was David de Keyser. He was Blofeld's plastic surgeon. And I call myself a Bond fan.
I love the brief Moneypenny scene here. IMO, there is more depth, wit, character and rapport in this tiny scene with Connery and Maxwell, than in all of the Brosnan Moneypenny scenes. Same with Harris to a degree, though I do like her Moneypenny.
The Franks fight scene.One of my favorites in the series. Not as tough as the Grant fight or stairwell scene, but fun.
Bond seems to be wearing his Gruen Precision 510. Too bad we never really get a good look at that watch. I always thought it looked like a standard dress watch. Gold with a black leather strap. Reminds me of George Reeves' Clark Kent watch.
Now I'm on the Felix scene. Felix looks to be wearing a Gruen Precision 510 as well.
Whatever happened to that James Bond Watches website?
When he started, audiences would have gone to see James Cagney in THE PUBLIC ENEMY, Lugosi in DRACULA, Karloff in FRANKENSTEIN, and CITY LIGHTS with Chaplin.
I remember in 3rd grade as I was just getting into Bond, DAF being one of the films I wanted to see most. I had caught an ABC airing a couple years before but didn't get to see the whole thing. I believe it was January of '84 ABC played it again. I thought it was interesting Bond was put into claustrophobic situations: the coffin, buried in the desert. My folks used to let me stay up late the Sunday nights the Bonds aired. A couple years later we finally got a VHS player and DAF would be the first Bond I'd record.
I made the same mistake and realized it only a couple of years ago.
