In a series that's had such duds as Die Another Day, Diamonds are Forever, A View To A Kill, Moonraker, and Octopussy? That's 5 right there.

Facekicker Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 My bottom five would be Die Another Day, Moonraker, Never Say Never Again, The World Is Not Enough and Diamonds are Forever. If I leave out Never Say Never Again as being unofficial I would add Tomorrow Never Dies to that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A View To A Kill isn't bottom 5 material for me, because it's at least fun, even if it sucks. My bottom 5, from "best" to worst:1. Moonraker2. You Only Live Twice3. The World Is Not Enough4. Tomorrow Never Dies5. Die Another Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 There is no way it is that bad, e.g. worse than DAD. YOLT is a silly fun film but it is kitsch in a 1960s way - it is basically the Bond film Austin Powers spoofs; it has an excellent theme song and opening credits. There is a lot to enjoy about it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) I find Twice to be kind of boring more than I find it to be a bad film. The fight that Miser posted is one of my favourite Connery fights and the locations are breathtaking, but otherwise it's a pretty dull film. Connery is bored out of his mind and the pacing is rocky. Still, it's better than Diamonds Are Forever even though I feel like Sean is enjoying himself a bit more in that one.

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) The making of the film is more interesting. Like Mia Hama or whatever her name is, was turned down at first for the lead so she was going to kill herself. So the filmmakers gave her a more limited role. She couldn't speak good enough English. The other girl, who got the larger part, she won the role over her but I guess it worked out that she gets killed off and the other girl takes her place. I think they both did Godzilla films. They made sure they get the hottest girls for those films. Edited December 25, 2014 by Georgy Zhukov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Interesting image they chose for the teaser poster Especially when you look at the final image on screen in OHMSS Edited December 27, 2014 by Facekicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 There's definitely a connection but I think the poster image is deliberately trying to be the Octopus symbol, whereas with the OHMSS image I'm not sure the shape of the bullet hole was intentionally like that but more of a coincidence.

Facekicker Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Blofeld coming back (Waltz has to be playing him), his character is a ski instructer (ski scenes = a ski chase) and perhaps more interestingly....Irma Bunt is in the early leaked script. She's the character in OHMSS that kills Bond's wife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's the character in OHMSS that kills Bond's wife. I don't doubt that we'll see our fair share of OHMSS references but I meant more that I think the poster is a coincidence. My guess is they'll want to use as much Fleming SPECTRE material as possible over the next couple of films. Maybe next we'll even get a proper YOLT adaptation. I always thought that Shatterhand would make a great film title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 First official image of Daniel Craig from SPECTRE:And first behind the scenes video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGDKDCgDQ8I know some people have been speculating about it, but seriously - I'm getting an OHMSS remake vibe from what we've seen so far. Particularly when they showed that quick shot of the modern building they had found for shooting - really looked like a 21st century Piz Gloria to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 There's something truly badass about Craig's Bond doing some snow action. He looks awesome and yes, I'm feeling the OHMSS thing more and more. Perhaps it won't be a remake per se but heavily inspired by for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
