    Bond arriving at hotel, bumping into Ferrara- reminds me of a scene in one of the Pink Panther films.

    Ferrara's costume has a certain 'Clouseau' flavour about it. Just missing a moustache.

    Bond's jacket remind's me very much of the jacket king Harald uses when attending skiing championships. Harald V is not considered a fashion icon :))

    Julian Glover- always good villain value (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter...)

    Still looking to find one of those blue Bogner jackets for my collection

    The olympic stadium now has a closed roof. It was in very bad state when I was there 20 years ago

    Jacoba Brink looks like she's going to be an Irma Bunt adversary type but that's a red herring...

    Kristatos is initially presented as if he's all set to be a Kerim or Draco type of ally... another red herring...
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Sorry, friend. Disagree.
    Imo he‘s a mousy villain, unfortunately

    Julian Glover... brilliant actor. Star Wars, Indy Jones, this film and GOT amongst others...

    Nice touch that Kristatos ignores Luigi after saying bye to Bond.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    I love how he refuses the handshake to Ferrara.

    He's deliberately underplaying- it's a conscious decision.

    I have to agree with Higgins (unfortunately :v )
    Kristatos is probably the mot boring Bond villan ever.

    Is the bald shop assistant voiced by Robert Rietty? He confusingly looks and sounds like the late Blofeld...

    I like his brief antagonist role in The Fourth Protocol as well.

    Thunderbird Too. His chipper attitude is a front.... it’s a sharp contrast to Topol’s natural Bon homie as Columbo later on.

    The drama and comedy romance of the sleigh sequence would have been a great scene for Tim... but Roger does this very impressively

    Def sounded like him, I think it was, it using a lighter timbre in his voice.

    The jokey 'age difference' stuff between Bond and Bibi was 'of its time'...

    I like the brief shot which gives Kriegler his own 'gunbarrel' moment

    Greene was creepy, Kristatos was just boring.

    Hello Charles Dance (never got to play Bond, did get to play Fleming as a sort of consolation prize)
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,969MI6 Agent
    Conti goes for a contemporary TV drama style of suspense music for the sequence where Kriegler takes shots at Bond.
