Ah yes, I've been waiting for this one! I heavily agree with this thesis. TSWLM's interpretation of Jaws has him to be a feared beast of a man who leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake, all with a signature throat ripping to signify the murderer. He was effecient, obediant, and most of all, nearly unbeatable. Just when we have Jaws live to die another day, Moonraker comes along and ruins an otherwise splendid, classic henchman by taking away all of his fearsome cruelty and throwing him into a comic book world of cheesy camp. It's a shame that he didn't return in FYEO to salvage some of his shredded reputation! Then again, maybe we got lucky to have had him drop out after MR!
Disagree. It suits the more lighthearted atmosphere of MR just fine. I wouldn't want every henchman to turn out like this but as an exception for the most OTT and comical of the Bond films it's fine with me.
Best post of the day! And very much seconded by this fellow.
<font color=blue size=7><b>Caroline Bliss could have returned for GE.</b></font>
Eon ask her back, Lois Maxwell feels after 3 Bond actors it be enough for her.
I think Bliss indeed can have return for GE, but then we miss the better fit for the Brosnan era Samantha Bond. On the old forums i made a thread with the quistion or Caroline Bliss be option now to play Moneypenny as replacement of Samantha Bond. Caroline Bliss is from 1961 and that mean she is now 51/52 years old.
Hmmm interesting! I forgot that those two are just about the same age (and friends off-screen as well)!
Could have been cool- as Connery, Lazenby & Moore all worked with Maxwell- there's no rule that if you get a new Bond, you also need a new MoneyPenny. I say sure! I liked Samantha Bond just fine, but Bliss (like Dalton) got far too little screen time
Of course you know me- I'd want Dalton back for GoldenEye as well ;)
Agreed. I find Samantha Bond highly overrated.
I think Caroline could have stayed on, but her character would have had to have been re-written. In retrospect, that would have been for the best. Who knows, maybe Caroline could have gotten Pierce over to her place to listen to her Michael Bolton CD collection.
I think Kiel probably leapt at the chance without giving a toss about the script. I dont think hes ever been exactly snowed under with offers of work.
His website is pretty tragic and reads like something from Gervais's Extras. Just look at how many worthless free gifts you get when you buy his book!
It was probably on the strength of his MR fame that he got the Shredded Wheat advert as well.
And this is not even supposed to be a comedy as far as I can tell:
Genius! Why did we never get that show over here? Presumably they tried for little Herve V first but had to go for the next best option when they found out he was dead. I bet they had the same disappointment with Sakata as well.
When you bear in mind this is Richards career with MR on his CV, I for one would not be prepared to deny the bloke these little avenues of income in his declining years. Good luck to you Richard.
Bond looks a little worse for Moneypenny, and what would be with her!?
Anyone who thinks CB is a better Moneypenny than SB is seriously deluded ;) Sorry but its a fact. I showed my parents the scenes between Dalton/Bliss and Brosnan/Bond and they both agreed the latter was easily the more convincing. Every single bloomin' time I hear that "Barry Manilow" line I crindge
Fair enough if people think Dalton is better than Brosnan but to say that Bliss should have replaced Bond in GE is just X( ~X( ~X( ~X(
I <3 Samantha Bond (and I say that as a man) :x :x :x ~
Samantha Bond is/was hot, and played well against PB's Bond! :-B
Really?
:-?
Are your parents the new yardstick for quality?
I don't even know how to do half the ones people use on here.
:D
074- She could've done but I think things worked fine with Samantha Bond. I would've liked Robert Brown to stay on as M for 2 more films though.
Yeah...they are ;)
