Hmm. I do see how that is a possibility.
That's what I was thinking as a possibility as well, but then I thought, surely someone would notice at least the very sound of the jet-pack! Oh well, I'm not going to lose sleep over such a question, hahaha. It's 007, sometimes these things just happen, haha!
Yes, but I have a real-life drug kingpin inspiration for Mankiewicz's Mr Big, as I shall reveal in a future blog article. I just wanted to know if anyone else had noticed this at all.
When Red Grant meets Captain Nash at the train platform and when Bond meets Red Grant on the platform a while later it used to be a dialouge between them. I remember it very well from the VHS and from the Special Edition DVD, so what's the reason Lowry removied it? Is it by the simple reason to keep Red Grant quiet up until the moment he steps back at the train together with Bond or what?
I can't say I've ever noticed as I'm not in a position to run my DVDs at the moment, but an interesting question nonetheless.
On my VHS tape of FRWL, when Russian agent Benz is hurrying to get on board the Orient Express, there are subtitles for what he says in Russian to his comrade before he boards, but the UE DVD removed those as well!
The same when Tatiana asks the police officer for directions in the beginning of the film.
Never noticed this.
I thought the point is that Grant is a man of mystery and he is deliberately kept silent until meeting with Bond? But this was a decision made by Terence Young not Lowry. In every print I've ever seen the scene between Nash and Grant is silent with Nash just offering him the cigarette and the audience who by now understand the code able to follow.
In fact I'm certain I read a quote somewhere once from the actor who played Nash who joked about his silent dialogue scene with 'what did Grant say to Nash 'just come into the toilet with me old man'?'
I think you must have just misremembered this MrBond.
I do hope we aren't going to have another case of Virginia Heys breasts here!
But then i tested with my old VHS cassette, and well what do you know. There were a dialogue between Nash and Grant and between Bond and Grant.
The dialouge was the whole "Can i borrow a match?"
I love this shot.
Does it remind anyone else of the gunbarrel? I was wondering if the actual composition of the shot was a deliberate so as to evoke the classic GB opening a little like the opening in CR.
In YOLT the US miltary dude watching the final space capsule about to be captured says, "Stand by, code word is imminent", or words to that effect.
Excuse me if I'm being dumb here, but does he mean that he is about to give the password (it's imminent), or does he mean the password actually is the word "imminent"? I have never been able to figure it out!
LTK as a missed opportunity for youth "public service announcment"
This is what drugs look like kiddies. :))
Everyone knows what drugs look like now in the UK if it was 80's Britain it would be the same.
I think he meant 'special' as in 'special needs'.
I've not got special needs and don't take the mick out of people who do it's cruel. Back on topic.
Thank's buddy or old buddy as in LTK I thought it might have been and there's alot of swear words in it as being a 17 year old and sometime's drinking I hate swearing. Did you see what I did back there with the thank's old buddy you see it's what Ed Killifer said to Leiter and what Bond said to Killifer in the final moment's of his life.
Brilliant. Comedy gold.
I'm in tears. 8-|
Craig was 37/38 making the movie? Was that too old to be joining the 00 section?
I don't see how Carter would've died. We don't see him after his small bit in CR. As for Severine, she does indeed die.
How though you see her still standing and he just shoots the glass off. In my Bond encyclopedia it says Carter does die and he is bitten by the cobra.
She was still standing because she was tied to the rock statue. She is shot, killed and her top torso falls to her front as her waist was securing her to the rock.
I see Carter as a bloke who dreamed of being an agent when he was a boy, but was one of those types that thought the job was just like in the movies. I think he would either die early in his career for getting in over his head or not qualify for field work after more screw-ups and become discharged by the service.
