    Bonds suit looks M&S horrible!

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    This M is very much in the groove of James Villiers' Chief of Staff in FYEO... but played up for comic effect.

    That‘s where Apple face ID has the inspiration from.

    M's fit of temper! Marvelous!

    Dont Military officers have to do Drug tests from time ot time?

    The bomb swap set pies feels like it is trying to compete with Admiralty set from TSWLM. It doesn't have the budget to match.

    The "Have a nice day!" bored drawl in the automatic female voice lightly satirising superpowers' complacency about nuclear weaponry... and maybe anticipating the automatic voice of Bond's car in TND...

    Those flying missiles are worse than the capsule scenes in YOLT 20 years earlier....

    Machines that goes Ping!

    Rental scanner authentication device.
    The radar trackers in the flying bombs.
    Kovach's Trawler Radar receptors.

    You wait half an hour and three machines that go "Ping" in one go!

    Love how the cat looks up on cue at the image of a nuclear explosion.

    The UN meeting is like an episode of Brit sitcom 'Mind Your Language'... full of national stereotypes.

    It's lazy of the film to put Bond onto Largo just like that! No investigation at all.

    Brandauer's Largo... refreshingly modern at the time. Addressing his employees on first name terms ("Morning, Charles!") - breaking the mould of the established style of Bond villainy.

    I'd no ken whit they'd be like so I would!

    They tumble onto Petachi very quickly too. And how could the bombs be released without a false eye?

    She looks in great shape. I love that she and Largo are so intimate... a real contrast with TB. All the more effective when Brandauer brings in the discordant note of psychopathy.

    No no, the shorter one with glasses and grey hair.
    Reitty was one of the best voice artistr and dubbing artists of his generation.
