The warehouse battle is one of my favorite bits. I love the look of this sequence, the outfits and lighting.
Roger looks damn good in the midnight blue casual "sneaky Bond" attire.
I saw this twice in the cinema in the year 2000, yet don't quite remember how this sequence looked on the big screen.
yet 007 isn't too worried.
It's funny when the sharks eat George Leech. This film has an excellent amount of stuntwork and action.
I prefer Bond to have enough hair length that it looks good underwater and blowing in the wind. For instance, Timothy looks bad ass parachuting in TLD. Same with Roger in MR. I love moments where' Bond's hair is messed up like in this film.
I think Craig's hair looked too short underwater in CR as Vesper drowns.
We've never actually seen him parachute. I don''t count the CGI sink sequence.
But yes. Roger's hair looks just right as he's rock climbing.
Bibi acts like a brat here.
Rick Sylvester fell a mile!
The Bond and Melina romance.
I find it perfectly fine. They've had the entire film of adventures to build a rapport and romance. I like this far more than Bond and Wai Lin for instance.
Excellent viewing of this Roger classic.
Great Bond film and will again go up in my rankings.
Am always praising that Casino sequence! Generally overlooked by many I think John Glen gets the right atmosphere of glamour and sleaze!
"Wheres your courage Bunty?"
The lighting is superb and I get the sense there is a musty smell in the environment.
I think Alan Hume doesnt get enough notice as cinematographer, brought in by John Glen when he took over as Director, i think he does a great job, and has a strong sense of style and atmosphere!
I always liked his color palette in the Bonds. I remember OP and AVTAK both looking particularly bright and rich in the cinema.
I'm being very naughty here.
I got a DVD copy. I Worked all night and have been waiting for YEARS for this. I HAVE to watch this . It's something of a must with me. I just can't wait any longer. I'll try not to post spoilers........................... just emotional observations.
Here we go...................
Universal.....................
Immediately I'm reminded of LTK.
Looking good. Our hero IS looking a bit older and grayer here. Didn't take him long to appear. That's odd ...........a tradition broken. The black dinner suit looks amazing
Holy crap! That's not Bond!
It's Lieutenant Columbo.
I'll have to move this to the other thread.
Carry on........................
The 1992 Columbo version of NTTD. :D
The Bond Blu-ray thread has me reminiscing about past Bond video transfers and here I pop in my 2000 MGM/UA DVD copy of
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
The sound is inferior to the later 2009 DVD and Blu-ray transfer. However I like this color timing far more.
Bond kicks ass in his training exercise before being stabbed.
The picture is considerably softer, yet much brighter.
At the time of release for this DVD apparently many copies printed somehow were missing some of the casino sequence footage including the TIMOTHY DALTON CAMEO. My copy is complete.
Pamela Salem wasn't bad as Moneypenny, IMO.
Love Bond driving his Bentley to Shrublands.
007 gets a physical check up.
I love Fatima's little entrance to the SPECTRE meeting.
I never felt this film looked cheap. The sets aren't too bad. Not Ken Adam level, but not bad.
I liked Max Von Sydow's Blofeld.
Largo, with his enormous glasses and early '80's haircut looks dated.
I was going to say he looks like a dork, but I resisted.
Prunella Gee is my favorite Patricia Fearing. 007 sneaks some grub into Shrublands.
I do prefer the colors on this copy. Fatima's lipstick and nail varnish really pop on this DVD.
I really don't care for the transfer on the later re-issue. Maybe that's why I haven't tracked down a copy of the Blu-ray. This version looks more like the cinematic print to me.
At least how I remember for 1983.
Connery looks great in this one. Lean and mean.
JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVO!
Petachi's death scene is pretty funny.
PUT THEM ON ICE!
Blofeld in a bow tie. Max Von Sydow probably could have played Dracula.
Although here he looks like a rather nice charming gentleman.
M thinks Bond is stupid.
Had Edward Fox's M been Judi Dench's replacement in SKYFALL, he really would have given Bond hell for going through the entire mission not knowing Moneypenny's name.
Then I cut your throat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Algernon version of Q and his garage workshop. The laser wristwatch is one of my favorite gadgets. I like this version even more than Pierce's Omega Seamaster.
Nobody knows what watch brand Connery wears in this film.
I should watch this copy more often The colors are far superior, IMO.
Yesh but my martini ish shtill dry.
Easy listening soothing jazz.
Bond vs real life sharks. Today this would be CGI.
I should watch THE MEG just because it was produced by a Belle Avery ak.a Linda from TLD.
Her and Joanna Lumley, Julie Ege, Ursula, etc.
Bond struts his stuff in front of the band while wearing dungarees.
Yes!!!!!
Bond got some action with Fatima and 5 minutes later is with Valerie.
More soothing jazz as 007 arrives in France.
Felix tosses what looks like a red rubber grenade at Bond.
An odd, but funny bit, especially since he scared the crap out of the bystanders entering and exiting the airport.
Bernie Casey may be my favorite Felix.
Let's make it official:
Bernie Casey is my favorite Felix Leiter.
Connery's Bond has a thing for shorter ties.
Here we go:
Bond subdues the guard. great Connery moment.
Fatima refers to herself in the 3rd person.
I really love the Palmyra section here. Bond's escape by laser watch impressed me as a kid becoming a Bond fan.
He looks incredibly cool here in that jacket as well. Odd he's earing a completely different outfit from the last scene, though.
Time for my #1 Bond epic:
GOLDFINGER
Always loved this gunbarrel and PTS. Simple, playful, exciting and fun. No real stunt work, just old school '60's spymania thrills.
I love the tanks in the opening shot. I wonder how many Bond films open at night?
Bond Back In Action Again is one of my favorite Barry's cues.
Connery looks good with his Bing Crosby style rug. He looks more polished here than in the other films, IMO
The iconic white dinner jacket. Now he's wearing a different toupee, which probably looks better.
I always loved scenes where we see Bond's shoulder holster. I used to compare Sean's blue shoulder holster to Roger's brown leather.
Great PTS.
