    I don't really like Barry's symphonic arrangement of the Bond theme against that trendy 80s drum machine.

    Generic and not many ideas here. What I've said.

    Well, it's time. Heading into a meeting. If I can rejoin before the movie ends, I'll chime in and ask for a timestamp.

    Bye Gymkata- hope you can make it back.

    So how can this car turn up in Bond´s garage in NTTD?

    Whitaker's row of dummies is terrible.

    Say what you want about this whole chase scene, I think this cello part is great

    All the Bratislava shots have been done in Vienna. I lived there at the time.....

    Interesting that in the snow chase scene none of the pursuing soldiers gets killed... but the 'rules of engagement' on action scene fatalities vary from one part of this film to another. Tonally inconsistent.

    You're right. Many things are so cheap: like that "Welcome to Austria"-sign.

    It was shot in Vienna, N24, though not set there, yet.

    Music "Into Vienna" - with lyrics, "If There Was A Man" over the end titles

    I think this scene would be much better on a colourful firing range. Whitaker could shoot at live targets. That would help making him a better villan.

    Whitaker's villa is looking like a warehouse from inside

    Anybody awake still? Boring!

    Good thing is, that we haven't seen Dalton for a while

    Within this odd ensemble of villains, I still prefer to think of Whitaker as the 'main villain' rather than Koskov (insofar as there's a main villain at all) - though Koskov's subterfuge as comic trickster is more central.

    This is the last "bikini-clad girls around a pool" scene in a Bond film, perhaps ever.

    Dalton weeps when he discusses buying the dress
