Sometimes in Bond, You see a location and think “There is no way THAT is real.”
Then You get a massive shock when You find it IS real. The mountaintop Monastery
is one of those for Me. Amazing location.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
He‘s much better than the usual criticism of disco and funk riffs.

A scene from the Alan Ladd and Sophia Loren movie, Boy on a Dolphin, was also filmed on Meteora.

There are many wonderfully tense scenes in FYEO, including the climb. But the way the guard is killed is silly. You can't use those things as throwing knives. Bodn should have thrown the hammer isstead.

The fuss everyone seems to make about the one enemy guard wounded by Melina's bolt. Such a contrast to other Bond film climaxes where dozens of boiler suited Pinewood enemy personnel are gunned down and blown up without a second thought...
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

It's too early for them to have seen the Austin Powers riff on that!

Totally.
Q doing his bit to cover what M might have done, here.
I've never thought about that, but you've got it. The right man.
Bill Conti's score here is particularly effective.
With no offence whatsoever to the great Topol.
Brave man. Insane, but brave.
Quinn would be more age appropriate for the WWII backstory. And a fine performer too.
Yes, I think it was him.

I probably appreciate this a lot more now than when I was a teenager, when I was disappointed that this wasn't another TSWLM/MR style climax
