    UGH I hate that part!!!

    Really? I love it, and I have several friends who like it, and they are not even Bond fans. They say it's the best "Bond, James Bond"-delivery ever.

    For Craig the worst love must be either the armor thing or "that's why I love you". Hmm, I'll go for the first one.

    Brosnan: "I take pleasure in great beauty".

    Dalton: Can't come up with one now.

    Moore: Dunno, can't come up with one here either.

    Lazenby: "Just keep my mind on your driving" or "I love you, will you marry me?"

    Connery: Yet again, can't come up with one.

    Exactly. They aren't fans so how would they know? You just negated your own statement.

    My point is: even people who aren't Bond fans like that delivery, as do I.

    But non-Bond fans wouldn't know what to look for in a delivery, or what all the deliveries have been to like it.

    I guess you are right in a way but the people I refer to have seen most (if not all) Bond films but aren't fans like us. So I think their opinion matters atleast a little.

    Don't worry about it. I have had enough debating to last me a lifetime lately on here, so mi casa su casa @007RogerMoore. :D

    Connery: "That's as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs." (Although it sounds like something Fleming's Bond would say.) OR: "As long as the collars and cuffs match." (Too crude.)

    Lazenby: I love all his dialogue (Thanks, Simon Raven!)

    Moore: "That's what you call a Mexican screw-off." (Really?)

    Dalton: "Bond, James Bond." (Terrible delivery.)

    Brosnan: Easily "I thought Christmas only comes once a year." (Ugh!)

    Craig: "Allow me." (Doesn't quite track with the rest of the film.)

    No one of those Brosnan's lines above were worst than "That's a good name to die for"; "I Thought Christmas only comes once a year".

    Those, were Shocking. NEGATIVELY shocking.

    In all honesty, every line ever uttered by Brozza as Bond. I watched DAD on ITV the other day and cringed through it from start to finish. I know his scripts were awful, but seriously...

    Any way, regarding the others, there are plenty of bad lines but they all redeemed themselves one way or another.

    The first 15 minutes of DAD were great. Until Madonna starts playing and then...

    'She always did enjoy a good squeeze' was just as bad if you think about it

    and what was that other one, when Zukovsky was in his own caviar ? 'Too bad we don't have any oysters' or something, that was pretty bad

    or to King in TWINE - 'There's no sense in living if you can't feel alive, that's your motto isn't it', that sounded just silly actually

    but it's not just Brosnan that gave some lame lines, we can't single out one individual, no (Bond) actor has been flawless with regards to it

    No way it was a bad line. '-' That Line was the most epic ever.

    Was a good line, bad delivery.

    Yep, but remind the scene, Bond was angry. Elektra delivered it much better on the casino. (yes, i really wanted to say that.)

    "The world is not enough...Family motto" was the most awkward incorporation of the title since "Wow, what a view." "To a kill."

    No way. The worst one was "So you live to Die Another Day?". In other languages, there is just no way to traduce it. In Portuguese, that quote became dubbed as "So you live to die in the other day?" and the official film's name became "A New Day to Die" just as horrible as the film.

    @Getafix is so very late to this party, and I bet he's a double-dipper. ;)

    Oh look, yet another topic thread that turns to Brosnan-bashing. This topic is for the worst line of every 007 actor. Pick one for each and move along.

    Brosnan had some damn good lines. But his worst two are the "Christmas only comes once a year" and "Now there's a name to die for". Other notable inclusions include "They feast....like there's no tomorrow." *Puffs Cigar*

    But the rest were pretty good. "For England James?" "No....For me." is a classic.

    Moore and Lazenby had the most dodgy ones. Lazenby's one liners seemed totally out of place in some scenes. I really hated the way "He's branched off" sounded in OHMSS.

    alright then

    What about Moore in that ridiculous race through the streets of India etc

    'Thank God for hard currency'

    'You'd better stick this back yourself'

    'Vijay we have company - don't worry, it's a company car'

    'It certainly pays to advertise'

    and even before that, 'You may need this to play with your asp'


    probably get castigated now by Moore fanciers but what can you do

    Just watched this yesterday. I feel if they left out the ones I've marked it would of been better.

    If they had left out a good quarter of all that happened in Octopussy it would of been better or beneficial for the movie as a whole, but you can't single out one release, we can say that about any number of Bond releases throughout the years, but that is just one example

    Another quick swipe at Moore while time allows it

    at the end of Moonraker - 'Where's Drax? - oh, he had to fly'... not the slightest bit amusing even if it was quite well delivered

    AVTAK - 'a little restless, but I got off eventually'

    TMWTGG - 'a midget in a pack of peanuts, what will they think of next' (?)

    LALD - 'where's Kananga ?, oh he always did have an inflated opinion of himself' etc

    I couldn't have said it better myself. I saw the Brosnan bashing coming immeditaely with the title alone. It's just appalling that Brosnan's dialogue is getting flushed more than Lazenby's. I mean really, that doesn't fit at all.

    @00Beast, topics have just been going completely off topic or focused on one single thing lately. We've had two unique topics in the past couple of days shut down, and I don't know what it is, but I feel like there is a lot of Brosnan bashing lately, as well.

    And I'm not being a hypocrite; I love all of the Bonds, the Bond films, and don't hate, loathe, or find myself disgusted by any of them. Sure, some Bonds I find to be better than others, or I think Film A is better than Film B, but some users just bring up every single negative thing about this actor or that film.
