Expecting someone else?

Here's a fun idea. Write a short description of a movie, but twist it a little, by somewhat misleading the audience, yet strictly saying the truth.

Example

Read the description and try to guess which movie is it:

This is the first movie of the actor, in which Mr. and Mrs. Bond go for a nice drive around the country, but Mrs. Bond is brutally killed by one of the main villain's associate.

Got it? Now reveal the spoiler for the correct answer.
Live and Let Die

Come and try to write similar descriptions. :)

    I... er, don't get it. Why is she Mrs. Bond? Do you mean Rosie? I'm a bit lost.

    But I'll give you this one which I posted in another thread:

    a Bond film in which the Bond theme hardly appears; practically no gadgets and certainly no big save-the-day gadget for Bond, starring one the best and most celebrated actors the series has ever seen; in which Bond drives a dull Ford saloon; with a whole new type of Bond girl (who dies at the end :( ); all revolving around a sandy-haired Bond whose looks in this film have been somewhat contentious and rounded off with a much rockier main title theme....

    She pretended to be Bond's wife the first time they met.

    Me neither. I actually had to look it up on an online transcript. :D ;%

    Yeah, partially this gave me the idea :p but the "best and most celebrated actors" really gives away which movie is about. B-) Go Chris! {[] :D

    Here's a bit of twist on mine:

    Bond finally gets married, but loses his loved one when Blofeld's associate kills her.
    You Only Live Twice

    Bond gets married in two picture after each other? That's a record!

    A woman with whom Bond is amouressly involved suddenly turns the tables, cutting short their double entendres and setting into motion a plan wherein Bond--having no parachute as she does--will be killed by the crash of the plane they're aboard.
    Moonraker

    (Probably far too easy.)

    A Greek man is being paid by higher ups to sell a very valuable device that could mean the end for Western Europe as we know it, all while an irritating blonde accompanies Bond and the villain's love interest is killed.

    The first post implies that we're allowed to twist the thing slightly in order to make the guessing more challenging. Perhaps FlexFan was taking advantage of it. ?:) :p

    Actually, there is a myth that the name Scaramanga comes from a Greek friend of Ian Fleming whom he liked. Another rumor says its some college guy he really hated. I don't know which is the truth (as these are parallel rumors), but Scaramanga is "greek" in that sense. :p

    Here's one:

    Bond steers a hovercraft, beds a sassy American agent, and destroys a valuable oil painting while on a mission to stop a two-faced madmen and his space-based weapon

    That is exactly what I meant Cat, Scaramanga's character may not have been Greek, or at least not outwardly, but that's what I based the clues on.

    This film featuring a new actor as James Bond, has him fall in love with a woman for the first time- she even saves his life at one point. Bond talks of leaving the service for her. She doesn't make it to the end credits but the organisation responsible for her death are not caught; in this film at least. He also drives an Aston Martin DBS with no gadgets apart from a secret compartment in the glove compartment which conceals a gun. Bond is also seen in a Ford (thanks to a marketing deal with the company) in this film, in which he is also seen writing his resignation to M. He has a vicious fight in the hotel next to a casino in which he has just been gambling on a card game. Bond's mission involves stopping a terrorist whose plan involves invoking terror incidents in order to affect the stock market. The Bond theme blares loudly over the end credits.
    Take your pick, really! OHMSS or Casino Royale!
