Successor OP surpassed it (imho) within the first minute with "Toro? Sounds like a load of bull."
My favourite is still Drax though. His droll delivery just matched up perfectly with Moore's deadpan one and he had a lot of good zingers.
I think what makes Kristatos better than Greene is that they did not really try to make more out of the character than there was. Greene also suffers a lot from his inefficacy. You jnow that he is the villain from the start but he never succeeds in anything he does. At least Kristatos manages to fool Bond by making him believe that Colombo is the real villain. Kristatos also beneifts from not having a fight sequence with a much superior Bond. I really felt sorry for Greene when he was bashed by Bond which is certainly not a good sign....
Drax and Khan were the best in my opinion. Just as suave as Bond himself but they had the lines to match and play off perfectly; they were pretty much Moore as the villain, which is why it was so entertaining. Scaramanga and Zorin come in next with a good blend of confidence, sheer evil and lively interactions with Bond. They'd be the best villains for any other Bond.
This is where Kristatos is let down. He never gets enough screen time as the villain.
Half of his scenes he is playing an ally before the Colombo twist is revealed and then he only gets one proper Bond villain scene with Bond - the keelhauling. After that he never converses with Bond again.
Yeah. A weakness of the film in general, I think. But that's also part of what makes FYEO a more realistic film without the excessive melodrama.
Ever since hearing this music over the OHMSS beach-fight in a fan review I've never quite watched the scene in the same way.
Is that from CR'67? Sure sounds like it.
Bond himself also makes me laugh a lot in the scene, like repeatedly slamming the doors on the guard and trying to steer the wheel but getting blown to the ground by the boat hitting something. It just looks hilarious!
He does act like him.
He doesn't when Bond and Camille get in his way. Up until then he seems to be doing fine. And he's obviously not the top, as he himself says to Medrano. Bond says it to Camille as well: 'So we'r both using Greene to get to someone'.
I love that about QoS. Finally again Bond chasng ghosts, instead of caricaturised villains. At the end it isn't even clear he was after Ussef or White.
Kristatos may be a bit bland, but if push came to shove he would take out Greene with his infinitely better henchman.
Infinitely?
God knows Elvis is a joke but Kriegler is pretty awful.
Not saying Elvis not going to get battered but 'infinitely' is very generous on Eric.
I'll just stand here till my pants get blown off v I'll just stand here holding this heavy thing till I get knocked over then I'll keep rolling along this flat roof until I fall to my death.
Both woeful although at least Eric is reasonably menacing in the ski scene.
If Kristatos sent Bibi you'd be in more danger than from Elvis.
