  • Much improved, @Murdock. Not Never Say McClory Again, @PropertyOfALady, but a similar effort below to start the film Bond-style. Complete with proper titles.

  • I'd like to experience a Dr. No rescore as a fan edit. I took a quick look but couldn't find an example. The Never Say McClory Again fan rescore was great to experience. I'd also try a GoldenEye fan edit. But no official rescores necessary.

  • Keep Rory Kinnear, give the Tanner important ways to help Bond, doesn't have to be in the field or a lot of screen time. Easy. Not essential, but remains a great opportunity to add to the film.
