  • Dalton’s Bond was an agent with a definite moral code, very personal to his character, he always aimed to do the right thing for the right reasons, even if it would later be viewed as defying bureaucratic policy; this brought an endearing quality to…
  • There is another angle to this thread; some of the past adversary’s have had impressive and elaborate escape pods, which Bond ended up taking last minute advantage of, and normally they were designed, with every conceivable luxury, for a villain to …
  • Brosnan’s past connections with espionage roles, not just to single out his time served as 007, have seasoned him with a credible history to adopt an alternative spy role. This should be an exciting opportunity for him and his audience to enjoy t…

  • Wait for it…. You will need to bear with me, while I explain. “An Architect” I can guess what you are thinking. WHY? If you can imagine a character with an excessive desire to create his/her own blueprint design on a country, where the only co…

  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: How close is the film The Bourne Legacy to the book of the same name by Lustbader? Sorry, there was an error in my previous e-mail, I should have listed "The Bourne Deception" not "The Bourne Legacy", and I will …
  • timmer wrote: I think the first Damon film was true to the original Ludlum book. It was basically the same story, updated 25 years later. But beyond the first film, the new re-booted Bourne - both movies and books - has gone off in its own directi…

  • The first 3 Bourne films were great, with a real atmosphere and Matt Damon secured a certain template for the series, just like Sean did with Bond. I am not sure that the more recent offering "The Bourne Legacy" had the same substance backing the…
  • To keep within the spirit of this thread I thought I would offer a title of my own: “The last hand of a defector” If a James Bond film script could be written around this title it could pay homage to the Casino and gambling element of Fleming’…
  • This could be a bit hit & miss, not sure how Val Kilmer’s outing as “The Saint” was received by many of you, but he did the whole disguise business; personally I thought the film was alright if you looked at it with a light heartedness, but I fe…

  • thelivingroyale wrote: I want to see Bond get a gadget from Q, but it breaks when he tries to use it in the field. So then he has to MacGyver his way out of whatever situation he's found himself in. That's superb, MacGyver would manage most…
  • Since DC has taken to wearing the tuxedo, Q branch have become quite conservative about the hardware they have been issuing Bond to aid his daily survival, and with less gadgets Bond is further dependent upon his wits to see him through the more unu…

  • Life is a wonderful thing, I agree with you, it does need to be cherished, enjoying the privilege of being here on earth should not be taken for granted... I hope that being online in and keeping in the good company of this forums fun debate lighten…
  • This is a similar question to should there be a female equivalent of James Bond? With the greatest respect, a James Bond film is a set of ingredients with some firmly planted roots, (Sorry to go all metaphorical on you) but if you look after the …
  • It is amazing to think that this brave woman shares space with, and at times faces these majestic and powerful creatures just as a matter of her daily reality.. I don’t know about you, but if I met with the modern day equivalent of a dinosaur on …
  • A new Bond girl needs to be strikingly attractive, quietly very intelligent, with many skills concealed behind a subtle façade; her character could be built around sightings in places of political or criminal controversy, with little hard evidence b…
  • I can appreciate that you have a sense of humour, and whether you genuinely hold an interest in the forum, or you are just here to amuse yourself makes little or no difference; if you can take some benefit from spending time reading someone else’s c…

  • I know this is a bit of an outlandish proposal, but I would love to see Bond working his latest case and chasing down a villain who has a taste for high adrenalin sports, this could take him to the Dakar Rally (Now held in South America), where he w…
  • I think the history of the films is superb, and the very individual differences between the actors, directors, cast, crew, locations and the era they have been filmed in is everything needed to keep this subject interesting and alive; that is why ev…
  • A real screen presence in many films, possibly a controversial suggestion, "Michael Douglas", in his younger years would have been an exceptional villain; when he has played the darker personalities in past films, he seems to be in possession of an …
  • There is one advert that plays through my mind, that embellishes the essence of pure quality and opulence; elements always associated with Eon productions and James Bond... L'Odyssée de Cartier - YouTube, if you haven't seen this, have a look jus…
  • Karl Stromberg, he must, be considered for a high rating in this discussion; he was a superb villain, with one of his ultimate desires already achieved, by living in the ocean realm, secluded as well as protected inside his version of Atlantis, livi…
