    The machine gun squibs are really pinging...
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    I've never liked the DEA slow-motion

    The slow-mo running.. :#

    Yeah that‘s pathetic

    The performances give the action weight...

    Dalton wanted to do more of the stuntwork for this scene than he was supposed to for insurance reasons. Cubby turned up on set one day to see his star dangling high from a rope and yelled "Get him down!"

    Dalton still looks like Floyd when the wind comes from ahead

    I live the bridal veil/parachute gag :D

    Since the song is a homage to Goldfinger, John Barry’s name (plus those of the lyricists) was added later after some negotiations

    So far, the movie is pretty good - even for a Dalton Movie

    The model whose face we see at the beginning of the titles sequence looks like the same girl who's at the Pan Am check-in counter later...

    I‘ve always liked the song.

    The titles are a bit uninspired

    The song is edited to fit the titles. On the album it runs over 5 minutes (a bit shorter for the single)

    I don't think anyone ranks this title song among the best, but it's a solid one. I would like to hear what Eurythmics or U2 could have done.

    Maurice Binder's titles... his last for the series. Trades, rather, on his past triumphs, but pleasing... as ever.

    BB's name continues to move up the credits
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,860Chief of Staff
    MGW's last credit as writer
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,860Chief of Staff
    Della and James a bit close

    I like the tension in this scene, and how it seems as if it's Hawkins who's considering taking the bribe.

    Lots of readily visible boobs compared to other sequences, though.

    Yes. There may even be an implication that he and she have 'history'... but probably best not to go there...

    I just hit on something else that's really bugged me on Dalton: he always looks unkempt with a shaggy haircut. Put some gel in there, man!

    Dracula-style?

    I have bad memories about sitting in the back of that type of military trucks. We used to call them "M6", but <i don't know the official name. :# :#
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    I like the escape scene

    "He was married once..."
