Are you round the bend?
The only criteria in which CR67 could be said to have beaten YOLT was academy award nominations and having the most directors.
What's amazing is that CR-67 reportedly had the higher budget (????). $12m vs. EON's $10.3m
I've not seen it.
Give it a go some time. I enjoy it for what it's worth - worst case, you hate it and know you needn't watch it again.
I've always wanted to view it but unfortunately it wasn't included in the 50th Anniversary boxset and I wasn't smart enough to sue. ;)
Christ knows where all the money went. It just goes to show how much the Bond name alone could make you money. How one of the worst films of all time could make 3.5 times it's budget back is incredible.
If you havent seen it believe the hype - it is bad. Very bad. Not quite up to Star Wars Holiday Special levels (so bad it passes through being 'so bad its good' territory and comes out the other side into 'being so bad its bad') but fairly dismal all the same. Only ever managed to sit through it once in its entirety.
Try and count out the actors who would also appear in an official Bond film, see how many you come up with.
I'm shocked to think they werent at rock bottom in the first place.
Its basically a loosely connected series of sketches a few of which are mildly amusing but it goes on forever - 131 mins for a film with barely any plot - and you grow tired of it inanity about 30 mins in.
Miss Moneypenny is spectacularly fit mind.
I think the way May Day goes out (plus Zorin's reaction, and Barry's soundtrack) is one of the best of its kind ("villain turns hero") in the series. And it's Jones' best acting in the film.
Two other quite amusing aspects are the Burt Bacharach soundtrack and the insane sets (notice the Dr Caligari sets in East Berlin).
I think Orson Welles didn't do it for charity.
Are you talking about the Deborah Kerr section? That's the part that really loses me. I kind of dig the groovy '60s sets and outfits later on, and of course, the music.
Always liked David Niven, no matter how terrible the stuff he takes part in, he is still a class act. And yes, Moneypenny is indeed hot!!
A word too for animator Richard Williams titles!
"Are you Peter O'Toole?"
"No."
That exchange is what the film classes as "humour". Watch it once to say that you have seen every Bond film, and then never watch it again.
Is there really anyone out there who actually loves it? And who isn't incarcerated in Broadmoor?
I know nobody who "loves" it, per se, but I can manage to enjoy it, as can others. Some are describing it as if it's the worst abomination ever to touch film.
It really is a car crash of a movie!
Two friends of mine liked it a lot. But that was 20 years ago.
Mine is "I'm Mr Kil, there's a name to die for". Surely the king of bad Bond puns. Something Alan Partridge would have said.
Very true on both points.
Bit of respect please. P&W dream of being in Partridge's league when it comes to one liners:
'Glen I was walking through Paris today and I saw a madman throw himself in the river. He was quite literally in Seine.'
Jurassic Park.
