LOL!
I love Brosnan in that scene!
"You first. YOU...SECOND!!!" 😁
It does have two very annoying characters but I have a soft spot for it...😏
More than two mate!!! 😉
I'll give you Boris and Wade 😁
Thanks, you're a pal!
(But I'll secretly despise all the rest!)
- Noting, again, that the Bill Conti score, except for a couple of cringe-inducing cues (mariachi music in the "Spanish countryside" scenes: he got his first works on Italian/Spanish co-productions, for Gamper's sake) gives this movie a notable sense of levity and fun.
- Sheena Easton could have been a better Bond Girl than Madonna, that's for sure.
- Derek Medding's models for the helicopter scene go almost unnoticed. Until recently, I thought all the sequence was for real.
- The beginning of this film makes a stark contrast with the end of NTTD and goes to show the sheer coolness of having two official cinematic Bond universes (plus two unofficial ones, but their coolness is debatable. I, for one, kind of like them).
- Is this the only Bond film where the plot is started by unfortunate, disgraceful accident? Those poor men of the St. George, their loved ones… =(( As narmy at it can be, the sinking of the St. George is one of the saddest moments of all the franchise: the horror, the pain, those piercing shrieks… I find it even more tragic than
And to top it all, Sir Gray only cares for the ATAC and the generally empathic Gogol is just glowing with happiness.
- About Max, his Spanish voice actor ad-libbed a couple of lines. When Mr. Havelock says "Down you go" ("Vamos, baja" on the dub), instead of repeating the line, he protests: "He threw me up already!" ("¡Ya me ha echado!").
- The sheer, icy but full of rage, look of hate of Carole Bouquet on her first scene. Melina could have killed that filthy Gonzales of horror just with that glare.
- Ladies startled by Roger Moore wielding a parasol. I guess Gonzales invited people of - more or less - his IQ level to his pool parties. "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!".
- The car chase:
1. Gonzales's minions insulting each other: "MARICÓN!" ("You faggot!")
2. On a real-life note, during the Spanish première, featuring Sir Rog himself, a Citroën 2CV was raffled among the audience.
wanted a third where they got the balance right and gave him the legacy he deserved. Two more Daltons, at least two more Craigs in CR/QOS-style and George to have done DAF - these will be my Bond wishlist forever, I think.
...Kananga backhanding Solitaire across the face. Intense! He is extremely frightening in that moment. I wish we saw flashes of that, or better yet, a full eruption, in the final face off with Bond. He does a complete about face and becomes a generic charming Bond Villain. As much as I love the film, that is disappointing.
- I can't help but think about Mandalorians when I see Smithers.
- Luigi Ferrara is a good man but a terrible judge of character.
- Julian Glover. This guy's a freking franchise legend: Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. At the moment, I think only Benicio del Toro has the potential to surpass him (Bond, MCU, Star Wars)
Not a Dr. Who fan (essentially due to not living on an English-speaking country, where the only Dr. Who media is from Tennant onwards. My interest on the series is centered on its early iterations, so I still have to see an episode or a movie. I have the Daleks pair with Peter Cushing on my sights, though) but, of course, it should count, too. Talk about a successful career.
Right now I'm watching my favorite movie of all time
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
Bond gets killed in the opening sequence. M doesn't toast him, but rather reams him a new one for effing up.
Edward Fox's M is the 1983 equivalent to Gareth Mallory.
I just watched this one what, a couple weeks ago?
Well as long as Eon is doing the whole "alternate universe trend" thing I might as well pop in my favorite alternate universe Bond.
I have the 2009 DVD. The colors look like the 2006 Lowery version of TLD.
I do have an earlier DVD edition and that picture is somewhat brighter.
She was on RETURN OF THE SAINT starring my favorite "could've been Bond", Ian Ogilvy.
Ogilvy's Saint kind of reminds me of a young Brosnan. Similar hairstyle and build. Lighter style Bondian actor. I could totally see Brosnan in those SAINT episodes. Actually I could picture Ogilvy in something like TND or GE.
Whenever I pretended to be Bond at recess I always did my best impression of Connery's voice in NSNA.
I got a red bicycle for Christmas in 1983. I pretended to be Connery during the motor bike chase in this film.
I love the Fatima scene with Bond. He should've offered her a mojito.
Maybe that's why I love it so?
Again, I love Valerie Leon. One of my favorite beauties of all time.
Small-Fawcett interrupts Bond's rendezvous with Valerie Leon. Connery's facial expression is hilarious as he answers the phone.
That's one of those moments when you should just ignore the phone.
