Just a few questions-

James Suzuki

I have a few questions to ask, and instead of making like four posts I thought I'll make it into one. Feel free to start up another question if you want.
1. Are there some pieces of Music in the Bond films which you like so much you find whistling or singing, and you can't just get it out of your head?
i love the ski chase music in FYEO, its so catchy and awesome i find myself humming it all the time. I also like the music that Necros listens to on his, MP3 player type of thing when he infiltrates the safe house, I that in my head too.

2. Whats your favourite ski chase?
a) On her majesty secret service- with it's pounding theme tune.
b) The spy who loved me-With the spectacular stunt at the end
c) For your eyes only- the one with the awesome theme tune
d) A view to a kill- Bond snowboards with the beach boys
e) The world is not enough- Paragliders?

You might as well order them into least favourite to favourite

5. AVTAK-Beach Boys? Seriously. apart it is pretty ordinary
4. TWINE- forgettable scene which seem to go on too long
3. TSWLM-Brilliant stunt at the end, just a little short to be no.1
2. OHMSS-brilliant tune, brilliant ski chase
1. FYEO- awesome tune, awesome ski chase

What sort of chase sequence do you want in Skyfall?
Do you want a pounding ski chase, a car chase, motorbike chase,
I wouldn't mind another ski chase, they seem to be my favourite a car chase is a must have of course

Best ski chase is FYEO. It's even in two parts, and I really feel the tension when Bond is being herded to the big ski jump, his would be killers closing in on him.
I also really enjoy the PTS of AVTAK - apart from the Beach Boys music...

I'd like to see a jet ski/ wet bike chase, maybe down a canal or river with cars/bikes on land on both sides closing in. Or a ski and snowmobile chase, utilising their high speed ability to run on water and also go crashing through a large hotel ripping up carpets, smashing through windows and then jumping onto the roofs of snow covered vehicles in a traffic jam!

1. Any of the key tunes from OHMSS and DAF (Barry's best scores IMO). My favorites to hum include OHMSS, Over and Out, Battle at Piz Gloria, 007 and Counting and the opening few seconds Bond Smells a Rat.

2.
i) OHMSS- A classic, suspenseful and relevant chase sequence with great photography and stunts
ii) FYEO- In the vain of OHMSS, it's well paced, spectacular and the tension on the slide is very real
iii) TSWLM- A fun romp in the snow with a catchy, if not dated, tune. But a yellow ski-suit?
iv) TWINE- The parahawks are a nice idea and there are some stunts but it feels run-of-the-mill.
v) AVTAK- Not really all that inspired in execution, the infamous Beach Boy's pun but with potential. I like the helicopter element.

3) I agree a ski chase in Skyfall would be special, Craig's first take on a classic Bond chase sequence. Given the locations I've heard about, including a train in Turkey, I am pretty excited about the possibility of a motorcycle/car and train pursuit- maybe throw in a helicopter for good measure.

Leading on from question 1, what are your favourite Bond scores? Mine are, as aforementioned, OHMSS and DAF. Both are such classy, thematic and immersive experiences that have not been matched in my eyes.

Yes I have Bond soundtrack CDs in the car and listen every day. I agree OHMSS and DAF are great.

With the Ski chases, would John Glen have directed both the OHMSS and FYEO ones as he was 2nd unit on OHMSS and main director for FYEO?
