Biggest/most noticeable change of technology between 2 films?

Jarvio

What would you say was the biggest/most noticeable change of technology between 2 bond films? I'd say (and probably the obvious choice) LTK to GE. But could it be any other?

Napoleon Plural

No, that's a good one. Except, of course, it's not chronological in that LTK just chose not to have much technology. Otherwise, maybe TB and YOLT, and TMWTGG and TSWLM.

In terms of the look of a movie, I'd say YOLT to OHMSS, cos the latter almost looks like a modern film with its cinematography and Bourne-style editing at times, and hasn't dated because of its settings.

Charmed & Dangerous

Albeit only 2 years between them, but between GoldenEye and TND Bond has acquired a mobile phone and the GPS device is quite portable - a contrast from GE where the technology is still quite futuristic and out of reach of most at that time...

Bond life

I agree on LTK to GE it was extremely noticable

If we're talking technology used by Bond in the film, GE to TND is a good one for the reasons mentioned above. CR to QOS and QOS to SF have some pretty intense changes. Look at the cell phone Craig uses in CR, it already looks ancient.

In terms of the look of the film, LTK to GE is most noticeable followed by TMWTGG to TSWLM. The look and feel of the film is just different and shows the game has changed a bit. Additionally, GF to TB has a pretty big change due to it being filmed in Widescreen Panavision for the first time.

Actually, the hovercraft chase was something I wasn't expecting, and I enjoyed that part immensely. But as for the rest of the film... I have to agree with you that it was a massive step backward.

TMWTGG --> TSWLM - do doubt!

Moonraker to For Your Eyes Only

Moonraker looks like it was made in 2012 and FYEO looks like it was made in 1981..major step backwards!!

I kind of think GF>TB. GF, for all the lasers & tracking devices, still seemed fairly simple... then in TB all technological heck broke loose, starting right away with the jet pack! B-)

Moonraker was the first Bond I saw on Blu-ray and it looked absolutely beautiful! I thought it looked like it was filmed this year as well!

Agreed MoonRaker is outta this world!!!! For your eyes only is definitely 80's with the awesome Bill Conti soundtrack & that absurdly vulgar song they put in the Gonzales arrow in the back Bikini girls scene.
