This film really moves fast.
I'm wearing my navy blue polo in honor of Craig's. Fight with whathisname is reminiscent of OHMSS.
Mickey G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Olga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Camille, to this day is my favorite Craig era Bond girl.
Camille is great. Very Fleming-esque character, IMO and wonderfully cast.
The Craig era has had the best leading lady Bond girls in ages, IMO.
Medrano is another solid villain, IMO
Medrano's reaction is priceless.
Wonder scenery here. Bond carries Camille and unloads her on an unsuspecting stranger.
Great bit.
As is Felix portrayed by Wright.
Damn I'm thrilled about Felix coming back!!!!
Bond steals a perfect dinner suit, looking like Connery's in DR NO.
WHERE THE F.... is my tux??? I love that guy's expression as he's checking the locker doors.
I love the Arnold music here.
It's a pity this film wasn't more appreciated in 2008. One great scene after another, IMO.
So what the hell has this been doing so low in my rankings? Perhaps I watched it so much in 2008/2009 I got burnt out?
Hard to say, but I will be remedying that shortly.
One day, back in 2009, I put together a facsimile of Craig's outfit here: beige slacks, white shirt, sunglasses and dark cardigan. I walked around the city in this outfit complete with my QoS haircut. Low and behold I found $100 laying on the sidewalk. Five twenty dollar bills rolled up. I looked around.....the streets were deserted that bright summer day as it was a holiday. That $100 found a new home. The previous night I had won a game of Texas Hold'em. Never played before so it was total luck
I took my winnings and purchased my first widescreen HDMI television and popped in QOS.
Damn that was a great day.
Actually it's a pretty moving scene. Wonderful performances by everyone involved here, especially Olga's understated reactions.
Either way it's pretty cool.
Here's an action sequence I hadn't been too kind to recently, but am enjoying it here.
Bond and Camille parachute. Not exactly the MR sequence, but much better than I have given it credit for.
I suppose the lack of a romance may have polarized fans.
Here is the 007 in New York bit. SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Craig means business. I remember friends at the time mentioning this location was in one of the BOURNE films and that QoS was trying to be too much like a BOURNE entry. Whatever. I barely remember those films, really.
GUNBARREL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Arnold's Bond theme here.
Great viewing of this unfairly dismissed entry! I loved every frame!
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
I've never purchased the Blu-ray for this film, but am watching the 2008 special edition. The transfer looks dark and muted like Lowery's work on THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.
I don't care for the Orion logo, cheapens the whole experience. I loved the red/orange 1970's Warner Bros logo that originally started the film.
I do prefer the earlier transfers of this film, honestly.
Largo kind of looks like a dork in the SPECTRE meeting. Still, a solid villain, IMO.
The Shrublands scenes are pretty funny still.
Connery wears a lot of pull overs here.
I'd love to see Craig underwater in scuba gear. I don't think we've had that. If the next film really is his last, then he and Lazenby would be the only Bonds who didn't scuba dive. Connery, Tim and Craig would be the only one's who didn't ski.
Bond trapped and surrounded by sharks. I remember in the cinema this was pretty intense and exciting. Bond in peril.
Today the sharks would probably be CGI courtesy of DAYLIGHTS' Belle Avery.
I never did see THE MEG which she produced, but there was an interview on YouTube with her about the film.
Okay, here is my favorite scene.................Bond in dungarees. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoy the song, and love the titles. The titles are unfairly treated because of the infamously unliked song attached to it.
Edmund Slate. Excellent, visceral fight.
MGW actually acknowledges Bond! Is this the only time in the series?
Camille's my favourite Craig girl too, by a fair margin. I might say QOS has my two fave Craig girls along with the lovely Fields. Solange trails close behind.
Yes, he was superb in PD. Love his reaction when Bond's phone pics are sent through. Hope he has a bit more banter with Bond in B25.
Gregg pauses to appreciate flight attendant Anna's butt right in his face, then when she struts off, Felix sneaks in a little perv like he doesn't wanna get caught by her, or Beam. So stoked Wright is back!
When I think of QOS score, I immediately think of the Tosca intro. Beautiful moment. I'm waiting for the Tosca DVD to arrive in the mail. I think it would be cool to pause QOS during the opera; watch the Tosca DVD (it's longer than QOS though, at 125 minutes!) then continue with QOS.
Superb end scene, and this might be for the controversial thread, but I do like the gun barrel sequence, with its bare, sterile barrel design and the incorporated 'Q'. Craig paces across the screen, keeping in line with the 'like a bullet' theme.
I've warmed to the gunbarrel look myself. I really do appreciate Arnold keeping with tradition here, though. QUANTUM was great when I watched it a couple days ago.
My viewing of NSNA was interrupted by the necessity to run to the store for milk. So I let the film play after catching Fatima's demise. Overall another enjoyable viewing.
Yes, really enjoy those.
In honor of Jamaica.
So Bond's Beretta jammed on him and he spent half of 1961 in the hospital. I can only imagine he quite enjoyed the attention only 007 would get from the many nurses. Not to mention hospital food scrambled eggs.
This remains my favorite M scene in the series.
This tends to be one of my go-to Bonds. Always ranked quite high as well.
Connery looks great in this one.
That didn't take long. It WAS indeed Sea-tac International Airport in 1962. Very cool.
The plane passes this hangar.
My favorite all time Bond gadget is the attache case. Pity it got so worn out all those years.
My fave chase scene: Bond vs the Three Blind Mice. I'd like to see a chase scene on this stretch of road in B25. Wonder if it looks the same?
I like gadgetry in the series, but more simplistic. I felt like the gadgets in the Pierce films were not only over done, but not much new, except for the then high tech cell phone.
Bond having a new gadget filled car in each film really gets old, IMO.
I really like it when he just uses one or two small items from Q Branch.
"Listen both of you. There are no such things as DRAGONS. What you saw is something that looked like one. Now I'm trying to think what it WAS."
The dialogue in that hospital scene could write itself:
Cute nurse: "How are you feeling, Mr Bond?"
Bond: "Oh, I healed ages ago."
As you can guess from my username, I love the gadgets - they don't usually ruin the film for me, unless the Deus ex machina is too blatant. However, I also love it when there are only a couple of gadgets in the film, like DN, FRWL, QOS, SF and Bond must use his wits instead. Can't wait to see what they come up with for B25 though.
Little did Bond know, that he would later use one as a step ladder.
That's an interesting point. But if no Vesper in QOS, we wouldn't have that wonderful scene on the plane with Mathis, my favourite in the whole movie! Think Fleming would have approved of that sequence too!
