I also thought the sinking house in Venice, was above all ridiculous, how deep are the freakin' canals there, not much deeper than Amsterdam I believe (or immediate water vicinity), what a dumb ass sequence, one for the popcorn brigade and no mistake, spoilt an otherwise serious (Craig) release
They could of left the rally car chase out of OHMSS, was that even needed?
The whole 'end volcano' in You Only Live Twice, just drags on and on, and gets a bit tiring also I found from previous viewings. Never understood the appeal for it
FRWL: Bond ordering breakfast
GF: Dink getting butt slapped
TB: Felix getting punched in the stomach
YOLT: Bond turning Japanese (getting dyed)
OHMSS: "This never happened to the other fellow".
DAF: Bond fighting Bambi and Thumper
LALD: Rosie almost mistakenly shooting Quarrels Jr
TMWTGG: The sumo wrestler getting Rogered.
TSWLM: Anya threatening to kill Roger after the mission
MR: Anything involving space
FYEO: The Thatcher phone call
OP: The Tarzan homage
AVTAK: Max and May Day getting freaky
TLD: Kara calling Timbo a horse's bottom
LTK: Krest blowing his top
GE: "Boys with toys"
TND: Carver demonstrating his martial arts skills
TWINE: Bond celebrating Christmas in Turkey
DAD: CGI parasailing
CR: Dan telling us what he does with his little finger
QOS: Fields' oily skin.
What! Not the Dink scene! I love the Dink scene!
Oh goodness, I despise that barn scene with the worst Bond girl and one of the worst Bond music cues in history.
Who?
Most of the Cold war Kerim Bey stuff in FRWL. Cut about 15 minutes of that movie and It would be my favorite. It is great, but It drags.
Looks like we have another 'Brosnan basher' in our midst too.. But if you refer to the Irishman in Tomorrow Never Dies, then fair enough I say
Yeah a crappy sequence that still leaves us without a satisfactory conclusion to the whole Tracy storyline. Mind you its better than the 'bathosub' shambles. Without doubt the weakest 'climax' of any Bond film.
Although the one good thing about Stafrods demise in FYEO is it was EON sticking two fingers up to Mcclory so for that reason alone I'm glad its included even if they turn old Staffers death into a joke with the delicatessen line.
he was alright, better than I could do.lol.
I loved the "Man talk' scene with Dink. It is funnier when you think about the editor adding the extra loud slapping sound!!!
I'd slap a girl on the butt if I could get away with it. That is an improtant part of the series for me: The way Bond treats women..
I also love the shower scene in TB
"Yes, well, you get your clothes on... I'll buy you an ice cream."
Although I've visited the place and am a great admirer of it, I'm no expert on Venice, but I do know it's an island that sits in a lagoon and, no doubt, contains tunnels etc. under certain buildings, so who knows how deep some could sink? You might find that someone in the know would verify a building like that sinking in that way is quite conceivable. Or not. ;)
Oh, and the volcano climax to Twice drags on? Sacrilege. Pure sacrilege! :p
As to what I'll offer up for this thread... well, I'll say practically every scene in LTK. No, make that every scene in LTK. No, just make that LTK... :-q
... perhaps @licensetoforum's on to something, Wizard, look it appears this is where baldy's disappeared to...

You've stumbled onto quite the conspiracy there. Look at their news section; "A new way to visualize the global arms trade" "Our roots go global"
If this isn't a cover for SPECTRE I don't know what is.
Actually Tommy was an album by The Who, released in 1969; it is one of the greatest rock albums, ever. Pete Townshend decided on working on a full length album, Tommy, after his success on A Quick One, 1966. It branched out after Pete’s work on a mini-story, or “mini opera”, telling the story of a girl who’s unfaithful with Ivor the Engine Driver, whilst her lover is away. I think Keith Moon dubbed it a “rock opera”, taking the piss out of other bands concept albums, and of course Pete. The album, Tommy, was in written, for the most by Pete, with contributions from Moon and John Entwistle, the legendary bassist for The Who.
The film was released in 1975, and featured Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson and Tina Turner.
In the words of Alan Partridge, “Don’t get Bond wrong!”, or in my case “Don’t get The Who wrong!”
;)
It's the way I planned it all along
;)
*= less irritating.
Er, do you actually like Bond?!
That was great!! One of the few connections of Bond with my beloved country music!
The clown suit
The Tarzan yell.
The Clusoeau impression on the firetruck
"Sit!" at the tiger.
Roger Moore 'Bond' films in general.
The boat chase goes on forever, and is seriously lacking in music.
Jaws dying in the MR PTS would have been the perfect capper.
I agree, and even though the boat chase is iconic now and is the trademark of LALD, I too thought it was quite dragging, especially the police bits with Sherriff Pepper and his squad. Those parts seriously have no business being in the movie, and detract from the matter at hand, the actual CHASE! Thus, the parts we do get of the actual boat chase are lacking due to having to make up for time lost on the police bits. I wish it had been better handled, with more emphasis on the action!
GF is perfect, the younger generation are in the opinion that classics need to be done as recent actioners should be made: large and stupid. :D
I'd kind of prefer it if GF was a little bit more lively, instead of having Bond captured thoughout half the film. What did Richard Maibaum do when he sat down to write the script, think, "How can we make a James Bond movie where Bond isn't the real star? Let's make him a captive from the halfway point on! Oh, and to top it all off, let's put in a mute Korean who's only special because of his hat!"
Classic = Always Good? Wrong!
Thunderball – remove the decade worth of tedious footage, of frogmen nailing a sodding net in place.
Diamonds Are Forever – Moonbuggy chase; Plenty O Toole - I can’t believe Bond would be interested in someone so dumb; Norman Burton as Leiter; “comedy” police men; Blofeld in drag
Live and Let Die – Most of Sherriff Bloody Pepper’s scenes; Mrs Bell scenes
The Man With The Golden Gun – again Sherriff Pepper’s scenes – again; two teenage girls defeating an entire dojo; locking Goodnight in a closet while Bond gets groiny is unforgivable; slide whistle sound effects during the Corkscrew jump.
Moonraker – remove Jaws from the PTS; the entire boat chase and subsequent “Bondola “ travesty; Jaws falling in love with Dolly.
For Your Eyes Only – Thatcher
Octopussy- Tarzan yell; the crowds doing a Wimbledon during the Tux-Tux chase
A View To A Kill – again the “comedy” Sherriff during the fire engine chase; Beach Boys in the PTS
The Living Daylights –the monkeys/crowds scenes – a throwback to the Moore era
GoldenEye – most of Boris’s dialogue, especially when we first meet the Severnaya staff “Slugs!”; some action scenes need trimming down i.e. tank chase
The World Is Not Enough – Sir Rog said about cinema acting; your eyebrow moves about 20 feet in the cinema when your up on screen. I don’t think anyone told Pierce.
Die Another Day - Madonna cameo; recast Zao; remove the whole CGI debacle; trimming down the climax; get rid off Graves’ RoboSuit.
Casino Royale - Sinking house - less is sometimes better - do it like the book
Quantum of Solace – parachute jump
Yeah, one is dramatic, fun and full of tension and the other is overblown, boring and completely stupid.
