  • I bought exactly the same one but I paid about £80 for the Thunderball box set. I still have it but got rid of the player as it took up too much space. They also produced a Goldfinger and FRWL laserdisc set aswell.
  • Fiona Volpe wins it for me. Onatopp was too cartoonish and too Austin Powers for my tastes.
  • No contest. OHMSS is how a proper Bond film should be done.
  • CR was already in development when he demanded to make a four hour black and white R-rated version with Brosnan, despite bad mouthing the producers. It was a publicity stunt and you fell for it hook, line and sinker. Besides, Tarantino cannot mak…
  • Good spot, BondFan, but wouldn't a member of the crew have leaked something about it by now, especially with all those detailed call sheets being sold on eBay? Personally I hope there are a few optional extras in the old DB5 and I see no reason why …
  • It has to be AVTAK with its geriatric 007 coupled with a boring story. Good music (apart from Beach Boys) and great posters didn't save this from being a dud.
  • For me it would have to be Journey To Blofeld's Hideaway (2003 Digital Remaster and longer version) from OHMSS. One of the most beautiful haunting themes I've heard and still a favourite.

  • If it's Adele I'm fine with it. I don't have any of her music but oddly enough I think she's right for a Bond song. Can't stand Buble with his faux 50-60's big band stuff though.

  • Shouldn't this thread be titled Will EON Blow it.... again? After all, the Brosnan dynasty is riddled with inconsistencies and major letdowns. None of the movies have been flops but that doesn't mean we liked what we saw after paying our admission p…
  • I've never been a fan of P&W, but having read some of the older posts here there appears to be another offender in the form of Michael G. Wilson and his poorly conceived plot outlines. Of course none of this is helped by the intolerable one-line…
  • Didn't DUD have Jar Jar Jinx in it? I think DUD is so bad it makes Indy 4 and PM look like they belong alongside Citizen Kane in the pantheon of greats.
