I don't understand this "loyalty" thing of which some of you speak. I loved Bond in the 70s as much as I did going to see a new Clint Eastwood movie. They were both on an equal footing to me. There's absolutely nothing to say one can't equally enjoy…

I had to rewatch that TSWLM train fight again after giving it the @BAIN123 dissection treatment, and a couple of other things now stand out to me. Why doesn't Jaws bite Bond's fingers off as he's got them across his mouth? Also, why doesn't Jaws sim…

Moore only looks vulnerable because he doesn't do anything while Jaw tosses him about like a rag doll. I also thinks, perhaps, you're confusing vulnerability with a good fight. Moore doesn't actually do any fighting in that sequence apart those what…
-
So, Jaws holding up Bond like a puppet, banging him against the ceiling while Bond himself is incapacitated, unable to fight back until he grabs a lamp, zaps him on the gnashers, followed by the slapstick breaking of a bolster wood chair over the ba…

Jeezus, Brosnan was a terrible actor before he got the Bond job. The only thing I quite liked him in before GE was The Fourth Protocol, which incidentally I saw on it's first day of release at the Odeon Leicester Square in 87. It was probably helped…

But FRWL comes long before DAF not afterwards @BAIN123. And I agree, that's a brilliant scene which is helped by some excellent dialogue between Robert Shaw and Connery before the fighting kicks in. Can you give a better fighting example that occurr…
-
The train fight? Which one @BAIN123? FRWL, LALD, TSWLM, SP? My point was that DAF was the last decent fight scene until CR came along. Neither Moore, Dalton or Brosnan come anywhere close to it.

-
Yeah, that's because you've probably watched it over a 1000 times @BAIN123. When is anything exciting when you know what's coming next? The real excitement is seeing it on the big screen on Day 1 and not knowing anything about it. I can't agree, the…
-
I dunno, @BAIN123. Maybe he's convincing to those that have never been in many fights themselves, but I always felt Dalton failed to deliver and build on the success of TLD, which he was so much better in. That bar fight in the Bimini Bar had the au…
-
Ok, I've been redirected over here by our host @barryt007. Not sure I can add an awful lot more to what I've already said on my previous post on "Who should/could be a Bond" thread, other than to say Dalton really wasn't given a fair crack of the wh…

Mostly he was. He did score two Matt Helm movies,The Ambushers (1967) and The Wrecking Crew (1968) plus the Elvis Presley western Charro! (1969) followed by another western starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson the same year called The Undefeated. By …

The only off-putting thing about the last Tony Rome movie is the terrible score by Hugo Montenegro for Lady in Cement. Coincidentally, who would have a #2 hit with a cover version of The Good the Bad and the Ugly Theme on the Billboard Hot 100 chart…

The raw footage is about 4:12 long @barryt007. I'm not sure whether it's now been included in the recent DVD releases as I don't own them? Funnily enough, I can see Sinatra playing the tough guy cop, as we'd already glimpsed something similar in …

Another thing I thought I'd share with you Eastwood fans is a little snippet of information concerning the original script for Dirty Harry when Sinatra (and presumably Robert Mitchum passed on the role) was attached. It comes courtesy of the link si…

No, those still shots of the CGI bearded guy are from something else. However, the B&W still of Eastwood are 100% from a deleted scene. Here's some 16mm footage that was found after 37 years in a can with old production shorts from Magnum For…
