    74, I'm guessing
    This might have been the first time this move was captured on film ?
    In an American movie, at any rate.
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    :D Yes sorry, an American film. as It seemed to be in every action film from the 80s and 90s :))

    Yeah, it felt a bit of an "F-You" from Roald Dahl.

    Unfortunate Aki's mode of death was directly emulated to more humorous effect in 1997's Grosse Pointe Blanc and oddly echoed in S2 of Breaking Bad.

    I think he was trying for pathos.

    It certainly worked if Aki's death nearly move you to tears (Tracy's assassination made me burst out crying, but I was very young at the time, and I find it slightly strange for people aged over the age of 9 to cry over fictional characters dying).

    Akiro: Why do you cry?
    Subotai: He is Conan, Cimmerian. He will not cry, so I cry for him.

    I've lost count of the amount of times I've got all misty eyed at characters who die
    in movies. I still have to fight back the tears with Mighty Joe Young. :D

    Does that automatically make you a member of Bondtoys' Misty-eyed Dalton Club? ?:) :))

    This one gets me every single time:

    Only last night watching "Tears of the sun" as the soldiers fought ( Some Dying ) out
    of a war torn african country to save some refugees, I was nearly in Tears again, and
    I've already seen it loads of times. :)) I guess I just a big softie. :#
    Even at the start of the last Star Trek movie as Kirk's father stayed on board to give the
    crew time to leave, I hade to fight back the tears, It was simply so Dammed heroic. :))

    And yes I'm a Dalton Fan. -{

    Bondtoys' ( yes, it's written correctly like that) Misty-Eyed Fan Club is not a Country Club!

    We are very selective and TP was never considered :D

    It's not uncommon to cry over the Death of a Fictional Character :))

    I get misty eyed so often at movies, I sometimes think I have a
    Teenage girl trapped inside, but not in a Josef Fritzl way. :D

    I think Aki had better chemistry with Bond than Kissy did. It would've been interesting to see Aki in the final battle fighting alongside Bond

    She obviously had some excellent driving, seduction, and climbing abilities, but was she really proficient with firearms? Most spies are not really soldiers. Kissy seemed kind of clumsy with guns and looked a bit ridiculous conducting a infantry assault while wearing a bikini.

    Yeah, Aki wasn't the 'arm flail while running' type. :D

    Aki was more the relatively passive observer/honey trap/courier/thief type of spy, not the commando/assassin type that Bond largely was.
