    This should have been a love scene with Bond and Wai Lin imo Cement their relationship
    Instead we get these silly Kung Fu antics!

    Brossa goofing off with the Chinese gadgets. Tiresome and stupid

    Feels like I'm back with 'The Man with the Golden Gun'

    Brossa back in combat gear again for finale, three out of his four films! 🤪

    They had major script problems with TND, after Bruce Fierstein handed in his story. Major rewrites and new writers, such as Nicholas Meyer had a go! Judi Dench wasn't at all pleased, and even Brossa was irked! It shows for this finale, which is devoid of ideas, and is just one tiresome, elongated shootout! With even slo mo no less!

    Carver mimicking Lins kung fu moves
    Pathetic indeed!

    Pity Bond doesn't do the Tarzan yell when he swings across on that chain 😂😂😂

    Despite the countdown, there's zero tension!

    If only they had a decent fight sequence with Stamper to lift things, but no, naff ending!

    And a very abrupt ending, no epilogue or nothing.
    But we do get K.D. Langs 'should have been the title song!' song over the end credits!
    Meh, not as bad as GE, but not great, very run of the mill Bond movie, very little to recommend it, apart from Kleinman, and Schiavelli and Arnold!

    'In loving memory of Cubby Broccoli'
    Don't think Cubby would have been pleased!!

    Excellent write up, @Mathis1. I remember being a little disappointed in TND back in '97. These days, though it's the Brosnan Bond I'm most likely to put on. Enough time has passed I occasionally feel nostalgic for the Pierce era.

    Just popped in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, and with any luck, I may have time to watch the whole film.
    It's been an immensely busy week, and today is the last day of my wedding vacation. The Mrs. is tuckered out after all this action packed excitement and is taking a nap.
    The chess match sequence. Kronsteen has effortless cool and confidence here.

    This Bond epic is marvelously well cast. Vladek Sheybal is beyond excellent.

    Gypsy camp sequence. Was completely cut when this aired on ABC back in the '80s.

    Not as much commenting tonight, I'm completely enthralled, and a little exhausted by all the week's activities. Tomorrow back to work and once more into the breach.
    .............and the end credits roll. I remember the old VHS copies omitted the James bond will return credit.
    Superb viewing.

    Paris and Bond are supposed to have got close, but these two have zero chemistry!

    Agreed. Monica Bellucci would have smashed it...

    Brossas naval hat looks too big for him!

    Of all the Bonds, Brossa wore the naval uniform the worst..
