Both car chases are fun and make good use of the cars and the gadgets. I defended the TND BMW in another thread recently as a fun and creative scene. However, I prefer the TLD scene in this case. When you think about using a gadget-rigged car for…

Here I go just under the wire. First, Wint and Kidd, not an easy choice as I also like the twins, but they're more essential. A good percentage of the henchmen after the first 3 films were Red Grant or Oddjob variations, reminding viewers of thos…

I will agree on the tank chase. It seemed to be a case of needing to get Bond into a mode of transport he hadn't been in and the end result always reminded me more of an outtake from The Blues Brothers rather than Bond.

We have some good dialogue about SF going on right here. Thanks for the feedback. It's one of the films I've been wanting to revisit lately.

What's all this about SF being such an original and great screenplay? It not only repeats a lot of TWINE but also The Dark Knight. And didn't the first Avengers movie earlier that year also have the villain captured? That's called derivative. Whi…

I also like the Miami airport sequence. It starts out with a bizarre setting with the bodies exhibition and then another example of the raw Bond going after his objective at all costs. I like that CR tries a fresh approach with a more toned down …

FYEO is like a stunt film with Fleming elements wrapped around it as an afterthought. An attempt to get an important device is also straight out of FRWL. One of the reviews of the time even led with the emphasis is on stunts instead of effects. FYEO…

I'd need to read the Bond scores book again to refresh the reaction to the score, but are we taking this in with modern ears, so to speak? Sure Norman's score would be dismissed as awful even by the time FRWL came out, but in 1962 and '63 I'm pretty…

For question 1, I have to go with Moore Bond and Octopussy, simply because Adams is by far the best natural match for Moore's Bond. It's like they finally got the ideal chemistry, the right partner for him especially considering that film is bookend…
