Topic: TSWLM v MR
having read many (though not all) threads on this forum it seems to me ( i may be mistaken) that the general consensus of opinion is that TSWLM is a great film while MR is not. this puzzles me slightly as to me they are basically the same film. they have many similiarities and i would suggest MR is a remake of TSWLM for the following reasons,
1.the central villains both want to destroy civiliasation and create their own utopian societies one from beneath the ocean and one from space.
2. bond has an initially frosty relationship with a foriegn agent (kgb/cia)which eventually leads to them working together.
3. in one film bond has a car that can function underwater in the other he has a boat that functions on land.
4. m moneypenny and q all appear on location in either a pyramid or on a brazilian ranch.
5. bond's inevetable conquest of his rival agent is witnessed by m and all at the films conclusion
6. the PTS for both films feature bond making an ecape using a parachute.
7. both villains have a treacherous personal assistant who they punish by feeding them to an animal.
8.jaws is in both films.
