I agree with that, but the guy with his back to the camara who salutes like he's the admiral sure does not look like Ouromov.
Anyone?
"Couch-humping dog" in mispronounced Russian.*
*I'm guessing here. ;))
That's what it sounded like to me too but that couldn't possible make any sense. I don't think she even knew Xenia's name at that point, much less had a reason to mistake her for Trevelyn.
Haha, now that's funny. It always sounded like she says "Xenia" to me, too. That would be funny if she was somehow supposed to be blaming Xenia for Trevelyan's behavior.
Haha! I could see the original scripted line going,
Natalya: Xenia! Keep him on a leash!
Xenia: Forgive him. He's in heat.
Meanwhile Trevelyn goes off to hump a pillow out of frustration.
Well Natalya, Boris and Xenia were offscreen after the church meeting scene for a while. I'm sure her name came up at some point by the time she was stuffed in that Helicopter. She could have been Calling for Xenia to get him off in desperation. Hard to tell really.

It looks a bit like the globe on the Liparus except there are a load of guys standing round a fence over it. And why is it in the leg of Atlantis?
Whatever it is there is no reference to it ever again so I'm at a total loss.
The guys on the gantry overlooking the large golden globe like the supertanker control room's version looked like the crew that would man the submarine/tanker with one at least the captain in his navy blue uniform.
A small A-Z map on a table wouldn't be seen from such a far away vantage point thus making the whole explore beneath the waves using a lotus submarine sequence irrelevant.
I guess. But then why is it never mentioned again? At least a line in the hotel after the Lotus chase along the lines of 'That map looked dodgy didn't it?'
But no. They continue to investigate Stromberg only because the design of the Liparus is suspect and it has never stopped at a port.
Does anyone have their copy of Christopher Wood's novelisation to hand (mine is stuck in my parents loft somewhere), maybe it sheds some light on this? Then again as the design of Atlantis is totally different then probably not.
No doubt doubleohdad will weigh in in a minute saying its symptomatic of the sloppy writing of the Rog era and in this case it's difficult to disagree.
=))
Could it be that the re-programming of the missiles was originally to take place on Atlantis rather than the Liparus?
He should have been tougher period
=))
Wasnt Rog shagging some minor Hollywood star in the days where he was on a studio contract and her boyfriend was some quite well known actor who tried it on in a restaurant and Rog laid him out?
I do recall reading this somewhere, I'll have a look. The thing with Rog is, he displays all the traits of a man who is at one with himself and will always have the psychological advantage. Real tough guys fight as a last resort, not at the drop of a hat, and they always finish the job.
With the fate of the world at stake wasnt it rather presumptuous of Bond to think he had any idea what to once he was in the cockpit? Why not send one of the cosmonauts/astronaut who would 100% know how to sabotage the mission?
And another thing - what happens to those guys?
Never heard of again. Did Bond order to them to just cower in their cell until the volcano erupts or as they were now dressed as SPECTRE goons did they end up with a shuriken in the throat from one of the ninjas?
Good for Rog, why didn't he show that on screen?
I assume.
:-??
I never heard that story but it wouldn't surprise me. On the Making of TSWLM on the dvd special features Martin Grace said he never met anyone who could throw a punch as well as Moore.
Well said. People underestimate Moore because of his good-natured and friendly personality and write him off as some pansy Brit. All the more embarrassing for them after he'd lay them out. In addition to those stories Moore also served as a second lieutenant in the Royal Army and even eventually made it to the rank of Captain. There's alot more to him than meets the eye.
He did show it on screen for his first few films. His fight scenes in LALD and TMWTGG were pretty good for a guy his age. The reason he wasn't giving Lazenby-like fight scenes later was because he was in his 50s. I don't know how old you are but I doubt you could do any better at that age. Besides the majority of audiences approved of what he was doing. He wasn't just working to impress you.
Same guy who helped her steal the Tiger perhaps? ;)
