  • Fleming's best short story, IMO. And Krest is one of Fleming's greatest characters. The Krest in LTK bears as much resemblance to the genuine article as does Lonsdale's Drax to the original.
  • For the record, I love the quick edits to various exotic marine life during TB's underwater battle sequence. Very Flemingesque.

  • My top seven are the ones I currently rate as classics.

  • The most obvious is that Bond slides down a laser beam emitted by a rogue satellite to defuse a nuclear bomb secreted away in a volcano situated in an underwater city in every film. He only does that every other film. ;)

  • Chang wrote: Skyfall has it's faults but the quality is still way above any Brosnan Bond. I've actually got GE ranked one spot above SF, but I admit that may be a personal eccentricity.
