    Dalton was better than Connery though, Higgs.

    Okay, now you're just provoking both of us! :v :))

    True, and so was Moore :))

    Clearly you and AC have both lost your minds. Pity. :( :))

    Pros:
    It has Sean Connery
    Because this film exists, I was born in the Connery era of Bond
    It's fun
    I still have a fear of being burnt alive thanks to the crematorium scene
    Charles Grey's Blofeld is as camp as a row of tents - but fun because of it.
    Wint and Kidd are fun and creepy all at the same time

    Cons:
    It doesn't have George Lazenby
    Because this film exists, I wasn't born in the Lazenby era of Bond
    It's too much fun
    Neither Donald Pleasance nor Telly Savalas play Blofeld

    I've always liked the Picture of Connery playing Golf on the fake Moon Landing Set :D

    I thought of another pro for this movie. It's not Moonraker.

    You just can't handle the "youth" element that both me and AOS bring to AJB. :p

    Fortunately (or unfortunately) for MR and DAF, CR67 and NSNA aren't official lore.

    Pros

    Wint and Kidd are great henchmen. Love thier morbid sense of humour

    Willard Whyte is an entertaining ally.

    the idea of Blofeld stockpiling diamonds to build a satelite is a first for the series.

    Cons

    The Vegas chase with the police makes it look like a 70s cop film.

    The effects are sh!t.
    Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

    The Chase is one of the best in the Series.

    -Effects are bad
    -Blofeld in drag

    Bond was supposed to kill Blofeld in a Salt Mine by having him fall into the Crusher. But the Mines Owner refused Permission to film there.
