  • MR. Even Bassey hated her song and the audience hated that Bond went into space. For me this is peak Bond. The score by Barry, the sets by Adam, the villain's dialogue, the setpieces and locations, Moore at the pinnacle of his career.

  • Saudi Arabia would be interesting. And they wouldn't need finanicing the movie, since the crown prince allegedly is a huge Bond fan.

  • AstonLotus wrote: » Sorry,Indy 5 has absolutely nothing on Mission 7. There's more to a good action movie, than the action scenes itself. I found DOD fun from beginning to end. MI7.... yes, there's a couple of well-shot setpieces. But besides…

  • Great read @mattjoes - thank you. Good points about Helena overshadowing Indy.
