Most Bond movie titles are great, but I think it would've been fun to come up with alternative titles for all of them.
I'll start with a few suggestions:
DAD: Icaros
QoS: Death leaves an echo
DN: Death in paradise (😁)
FRWL; SMERSH
Comments
FYEO: DETENTE
TSWLM: MAN FROM ATLANTIS
LALD: TAROT
OHMSS>FRWL>CR>TSWLM>NTTD>MR>SF>FYEO>GE>DN>YOLT>OP>
TND>TWINE>QOS>TB>TMWTGG>GF>LALD>TLD>AVTAK>SP>DAF>LTK>DAD
Bond rankings: Lazenby>Moore>Connery>Craig>Brosnan>Dalton
I'm not sur Detente is a good title for an action movie. It's bit like calling it "Calm" or "Peace" isn't it?
The other two are great!
LTK: Blood Runs Cold
"Icarus" is a very apt choice of title for DAD. The Greek story of Icarus is about a son who doesn't listen to his father's warnings (General Moon tries to warn his son from his plans and is ignored) and flies too close to the sun. The satellite Icarus is explicitly referred to as a second sun. "Sun" is even part of the son's name.
That's a fair amount of subtext for a film that's usually dismissed.
I guess you could also call it 'COLONEL'S SON' 🙂
Or maybe FORTUNE FAVOURS THE GRAVES 😁
Would these two work as alterantives to FYEO:
Eye for an eye
Risico
😁😁😁 Love it!
Although now I think of it; his dad was a General. Well that spoils it 🤣
How about Skyfall becoming NEVER GO BACK
For YOLT we could use the title of a later Connery movie:
Rising Sun
Or a version of it:
Blood Red Sun
OP:
Dangerous Game (there is big game hunting in the movie, Bond is a dangerous prey and the cold war is a dangerous game)
I'm sitting at my desk, and just above my computer screen are hanging posters for YOLT and OHMSS. As I looked at them, with their painted artwork and dramatic scenes I suddenly reimagined them is early 1950s disaster movies with titles like
Volcano!
and
Avalanche!
😁 So the next two would be
"Satellite!"
and
"Alligator!"
My alternative title for DAF (with some apologies to Raymond Benson):
The Facets of Death
AVTAK could simply be called: “James!”
😂
Is changing TND back to "Tomorrow never lies" cheating? 🤔
NTTD : The End
The trailer will of cource be spoiler-free ....
