I am watching every Bond movie: please kill me (2 Viewers)

Fair point but at least that one has gratuitous explosions and killing. The Man with Three Nipples is just boring.

I love that she opened the trunk, looked out, then closed it. That's not even like the 12th-most unbelievable thing that's happened.

The best thing about the flying car is that it's an AMC Matador. Scaramanga gets $1M per job, has a solid gold gun that shoots gold bullets, has three nipples and want to control the world. But he drives a Rambler because he's a sensible sociopath.In the next one, his car does something else you don't see every dayPLANE CAR

You'll never guess.
My kids became big 007 fans after we took them to a big Bond exhibit at the Science Museum in London. They've seen all of them except for Dr. No because my daughter hates spiders. They were probably 11 and 7 when we watched The Man with Golden Gun. Even they saw the climax coming about 15 minutes before the movie dragged to its conclusion.

The next one (The Spy Who Loved Me) is the best one Moore did, in my opinion. It is ranked pretty high in the Bond film ranks.

She and her legal team are currently reviewing your marriage vows to see if the words "A View to a Kill" are explicitly mentioned

Yeah, he was always a favorite of mine. He gets a little more screen time 'out in the field' later on. You will here his name in "The Spy Who Loved Me". Here is a website on his Bond appearances: http://jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/Q_(Desmond_Llewelyn)

The briefcase full of diamonds blew up in his face...the man still had diamonds lodged in his face nine months later.
It still angers me.
Is this also the one where Bond parachuted off a cliff into wind surfing a giant wave? Or that freaking laser that might set off the landmines between North and South Korea?
God...I don't know anymore...I really had a deep hatred for this series during Brosnan's run.
I'm back onboard now but during his run it was like a parody. It was worse than Austin Powers because it tried to come off as serious and not just schtick like Austin Powers.
I may have to go back and try to watch that run again...hopefully time has healed those wounds.
I still want to run up and slap someone on the street...anyone...HARD...and yell, "THAT was for casting Remington F'ING Steele!!!"

I hope creating this thread doesn't lead to updates in the "Marriage...When is it over?" thread.

This one was horrible and dumb but I laughed out loud numerous times (that ####ing carplane killed me) and Lee was pretty awesome. Also, I like Moore so far. Not more than Connery but he's really good and I can buy what he's selling. Maybe not the fight scenes so much but he makes up for it with being suave.
I actually am moving this up to 6 for pure shtick and entertainment value. I'll never watch the 3 beneath it again but I can promise I will watch that flying car again.
(Catchy theme song too. Feels like I should be ranking those.)

Ok Theme Rankings (with commentary!!)
1. You Only Live Twice - best by far. you only live twice or so it seeeeeeeems. One life for yourself and one for your dreeeeeeeeams. Love it.
2. Live and Let Die - a Beatle in his prime? Oh yea. By far the best part of this horrid movie.
3. Diamonds are Forever - that cat in the first cut kills me. Very good song but I keep waiting for Kanye to start rapping.
4. Thunderball - this is the first great theme in the series. Dramatic, cool visuals, feels big. Lets you know you're in for a good movie.
5. Goldfinger - corny but catchy. Maybe my favorite one to sing along to, but for all the wrong reasons. Jams the word 'mister' in a lot.
6. The Man With the Golden Gun - on second listen, pretty blah. Nothing interesting here really.
7. From Russia - nice, jazzy, feels like you would hear this as someone is pouring you a brandy in a room with lots of mahogany. Ends with the Bond theme.
8. On Her Majesty's - BORING
9. Dr. No - just the Bond theme. Then Conga music, then 3 Blind Mice. Weird. They obviously didn't know what they had yet.

No ####, I posted that on her Facebook status last night, along with this:
"We just finished the 9th out of 23 Bond movies. She's going to murder me."

I think these movies may be rotting your brain. Live and Let Die theme = GOAT.

The sad part is it's really a brilliant stunt and they add in the slide-whistle and cheapen it. The stunt driver must have been pissed when he saw the final take.

I always thought some of the things in Moore's Bond films were on the cartoonish side. Glad I'm not the only one.

How did they pull that off. Was it just a flat ramp on the other side that let one front wheel off early?

The Tarzan call. Yeah, totally forgot about that in Octo#####. Hmmm, maybe my 10 year-old self's sense of "entertainment" may be clouding my judgement on that movie.Still love the super cheesy theme song from that one. "We're an all time hiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

I think it was a curved ramp similar to the one they landed on. You can see the car start to rotate before it leaves the ramp.

Holy crap, this is very cool. Top Gear attempts to replicate the stunt....and fails miserably.

I'm gonna bet that they used two cars to do this. One to show the leaving the ramp and one to show the landing. The one that they sent out off the ramp to start was unmanned and just ended up in the river. The second likely was done from an elevated height and maybe on some sort of curve, or they let the front left drive keep on the gas while the right side of the car had the road run out and it was flat. They shot is a cutaway and isn't a complete shot of the whole sequence, or could have been stitched together with the technology at the time (Think parent trap).
maybe

I can't complain. I was 13 and my take away on that movie was I need to figure out how to make that yo-yo saw work.Not to be outstaged in the Bond director "I give up, this script is incredibly dull and stupid" hall of shame ... until Tarzan.Capella said:SLIDE WHISTLE!!!!
