The james bond quote conversation

James Suzuki — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 08:08:19 +0000

Rules
1. Quotes from ALL James Bond films (official and unofficial) and novels are fair game.

2. You must post quotes that add to a COHERENT conversation.

3. Do not post every other time. The game will be shut down if it looks like Person A and Person B are the only people playing.

I might as well start off.

"Walther PPK, 7.65 millimetre. Only three men I know use such a gun. I believe I've killed two of them."

Barbel- these rules were later slightly modified (in consultation with James Suzuki, the OP. With the huge length and timespan of this thread it became necessary to allow more leeway.

Dr No - Le Cercle changeur....................

DrNoPlaques — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 00:55:11 +0000

I was recently told who the person who took Bond's plaques to the cash desk (and gave Sylvia her plaques) was.

I think it is "new info" as he's not listed on any Dr No actor's list as far as I can see.

If anybody else "knows" or can confirm the name, I'd appreciate it. Obviously I won't mention him yet just in case it influences you in any way.

Best Bond Movie per Actor...?

O07 — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 20:28:00 +0000

A simple question and probably been done before undoubtedly but just a quick shout out to discover which film you consider to be the best for each 007 actor?

Here's mine:

Connery: FRWL
Lazenby: OHMSS (obviously)
Moore: FYEO
Dalton: LTK
Brosnan: TWINE
Craig: SF

The most difficult choices were Dalton because I rate both pictures highly and Brosnan because I rate all pictures fairly low. I also find it rather difficult to rate the Craig ones had SP hasn't quite surpassed SF yet.

THE ULTIMATE WORD ASSOCIATION GAME Skyfall inspired

James Suzuki — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 03:26:59 +0000

Saw a varation on another forum, and I want to vamp up this fun trivia area of ajb007. I say a word, and you, just like in SF, say an associate. Try and bring Bond in it, or as much as possible or this thread will be moved to the off topic section. I encourage some witty words, some funny words but please keep it close to the word before. Obviously, don't post after another, or it gets silly, your word to start off with, : violence

How many different languages does James Bond speak across the entire movie franchise?

balfrey — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 09:59:28 +0000

By any chance would you have the answer to the following questions:

Do you know how many languages Bond has spoken in the entire movie collection?

If so, do you know what these languages are?

Any further chance you'd be able to reference which film these languages are spoken in?

I prefer answers shaken, not stirred, if at all possible.

Best and worst bond film by decade

Wadsy — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 00:01:50 +0000

70s

Best - The Spy Who Loved Me

Worst - Diamonds Are Forever

80s

Best - For Your Eyes Only

Worst - Octopussy

90s

Best - Goldeneye

Worst - The World Is Not Enough

00s

Best - Casino Royale

Worst - Die Another Day

2010s

Best - Skyfall

Worst - Spectre

Ranking the Connery Films

James Suzuki — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 10:45:39 +0000

To coincide with the Ranking the Moore films thread I thought I would make a Connery one, ranking his 6 official Movies.
I just want to say this, I'm not the biggest Connery fan, I find him a bit overrated, but I do enjoy his movies a lot and I respect him for what he did to the franchise.

6. Diamonds Are Forever-
Now, it is not Connery's fault that I have trouble watching this movie, it is the plot. It is sleep-inducing, Charles Gray's Blofeld is awful, I keep on thinking he's about to say, "Just a jump to the left...!" The ending is a let down and the action scenes are dire except for the brief one in the elevator which I thought was quite well done. Not even the gorgeous Jill St John or the brilliant Barry score can save this film.
4.9/10

5. Goldfinger-
This movie, this low! Lower your crossbows. I've already expressed my opinion of this film in the Moore thread. I feel like it is super overrated. Pussy Galore seems non-attractive, the special effects seem worse then a home movie, the whole faking a gas attack scene and Pussy's flying circus is ridiclous, but much like in a Moore film, but it is played seriously which just makes it worse. I don't see what's great about the villain either, he doesn't do anything really ruthless. You don't see him paint the girl gold, he seems fat and pathetic. But I must admit, Connery's performance is fine here, even though his Bond seems to suck balls in this film, he gets captured half way thorugh the film and stays captured till the end! But the DB5 is my favourite Bond car and I love the Title song.
5.9/10

4. You Only LIve Twice-
Okay, just okay. The plot works, even though it is ridiclous, just have to accept it, that is what I feel. Connery is fine in the role, but the Japanese bit was weird! Blofeld was awesome and I loved how they handled the whole Bond dying at the start sequence.i
The girls are pretty cool, nice to see some Japanese woman for a change, very beautiful and the scenery is top-notch. Love the little-Nellie scene and the score has a nice airy, melody feel to it.
6.6/10

3. Thunderball-
I never really understood this movie. I use to not really like it. I found the action scenes in the water dull, the tension of the nuclear bomb threat almost nil and the plot confusing. But, I love the gadgets, the characters, the Bond girls ( :x :x hot :x :x ) the shark attack and the villain is interesting.
It holds itself up well as a piece of the 60's and the score and title song is perfect.
7/10

2. Dr. No-
Yes, the novel, DR No is my favourite Fleming novel, I love the action and suspense and the characters. The film adaption isn't perfect, but It is good. The songs, Underneath the mango tree, the Bond theme etc. are awesome and the characters come up from the novel. It drags a teeny weenie bit in the 1st quarter of the film but it picks up. Honey Rider is great and all.
7.9/10

1- From Russia with love-Love it. Yes, I like the Moore movies but this film is awesome. The Bond girl reeks with beauty and hotness (no Nude scene X-( ) the villains plot is credible, interesting and what brings the movie along. Bond is great in this and Red Grant is a terrfic villain played really well. It is a little dark, but most enjoyable and it does feel straight out of the Cold War era. I like how they show Instanbul, love the Orient Express scenes, the ending etc. The score by Barry has a real nice, spy feel to it and the song by Matt Monroe is a piece of history preserved.
8.7/10

Ranking the Bond movies of the 80's

Paperbill — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 07:45:46 +0000

I must say the 80's were a bleak time for me as a Bond fan...here is how I would rank them.

FYEO
TLD
NSNA (ok hate me, but I loved Connery's return)
LTK
OP
VTAK

Only if you are bored......................

DrNoPlaques — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 21:02:31 +0000

Who is the one person that links the films below together.

Dr No, FRWL, A hard day's night, Casino Royale (1967), OHMSS, The man who haunted himself AND The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

It's a person not an item or character.

As you may have noticed, there is a theme running through it (well, sort of) and if you get it, I'll be impressed.

Good luck and enjoy the search.

Not Long Ago...

Sir Hillary Bray — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 17:52:36 +0000

On a rundown street in a remote town sat a nondescript establishment called Motto’s Pub. The proprietor Steven Forstbollard was doing well. He had a loyal cadre of locals drinking his beer, and he supplemented the pub with a downstairs area he named Tops To Bum, which specialized in burlesque – specifically, drag shows in which each male performer assumed a specific female persona. Steven’s old pal Bob Lasker, one-time performer himself, ran things down there.

Unfortunately, Bob was somewhat scatterbrained. One day, he managed to lose the entire performance schedule. He had list of the male performers’ names, but not their female personas nor the order in which they were to take the stage. The male performers were:

[list=*]
[*]Mayo Asavana[/*]
[*]Martin Asford[/*]
[*]Scotty Austen[/*]
[*]Grant Bhadel[/*]
[*]Simon Callemet[/*]
[*]Brant Cody[/*]
[*]Stu Coospy[/*]
[*]Ronnie Cudurof[/*]
[*]Rory Denehy[/*]
[*]Gordon Gamithy[/*]
[*]Ari Listoe[/*]
[*]Alan Mendeswein[/*]
[*]Donald Morvie[/*]
[*]Mark Olivay[/*]
[*]Paxton Peonia[/*]
[*]Earl Poluma[/*]
[*]Vin Reese[/*]
[*]Nate Sciaffy[/*]
[*]Jens Oscar Smith[/*]
[*]Gary Spoules[/*]
[*]Vern Spydel[/*]
[*]Eric Varspar[/*]
[*]Antonio Vatarama[/*]
[*]Michael von Lake[/*]
[/list]

In a panic, Bob appealed to Steven for help. Steven looked over the list and smiled. “No worries, Bob. Everything you need is right here – the female personas, and the order in which they go onstage.”

How was Steven able to figure this out?

Rank the 7 Main Moore Girls

Jarvio — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:47:47 +0000

If this topic takes off, I might start one for the other actors in the near future (but combine Lazenby with Dalton for obvious reasons).

So, how would you rank order the main bond girl of each of Moore's 7 films?

Here's mine:

1 - Solitaire (LALD)
I think she's an excellent bond girl, and has always been my second favourite ever after Honey Rider. I don't mind the tarot card story, and thought Solitaire was not only gorgeous but pretty well acted too.

2 - Melina Havelock (FYEO)
Besides the ridiculous close up shot of her face with the greek music when she whitnesses her parent's death, I thought she was a pretty solid bond girl. Assertive, good looking, and has a real motive.

3 - Octopussy (OP)
She's not exactly a favourite, but she's ok and plays a significant role.

4 - Anya Amasova (TSWLM)
I assume many people will rank her higher. I honestly can't see why. On the plus side she's an ok bond girl who is assertive, plays a key role, competitive with bond and so on. But I didn't like her wooden acting. She seemed emotionless. I know spies are often like that, but to me it seemed more of a case of bad acting - sorry barbara fans!

5 - Mary Goodnight (TMWTGG)
She was obviously a poor bond girl, but I'm ranking her here for comedy reasons.

6 - Stacey Sutton (AVTAK)
Ok, she is not very good. As a huge AVTAK fan, I have never denied what people say about stacey. But you know what, I still didn't think she was THAT bad. Not bad enough to spoil the film for me by any means. A poor bond girl, but I do think there's worse.

7 - Holly Goodhead (MR)
She had potential. But her pathetic wooden acting just spoils any potential she had. I'm surprised that she doesn't get more hate. The woman can't bloody act. Either that or she was underacting on purpose. "Hang on James"...

Ultimate members' rankings - Spectre to 2017

heartbroken_mr_drax — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 09:58:29 +0000

Here's something different. Thought I'd analyse all of the rankings from members from the ULTIMATE ranking thread (http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/22305/the-ultimate-bond-ranking-your-120/) from the release of Spectre until the last ranking on the 10th of February 2017.

This way we can see which film is the indisputable #1 film for November 2015 to February 2017 rankings. Of course, this only applies to those who rank! In total there are 47 rankings collected from 32 members.

47 rankings were collected

The film with the best average ranking is FRWL. FRWL's most often ranking was 4.

The film with the worst average ranking is DAD. DAD's most often ranking was 24.

What's interesting is that every single Bond film featured in the top 10 at least once. Apart from DAD, every film featured in the top five at least once.

The most consistently highest ranked film was CR.

The most consistently lowest ranked films were QoS, DAF and DAD all consistently receiving a 24.

The only film that didn't feature outside the top twenty was TSWLM.

Depsite being the 3rd ranked film overall, Goldfinger was never selected as anyone's #1 film.

The Bonds

Remembering the range is 7.97 to 20.73

Lazenby - combined average 8.10 - best film OHMSS
Dalton - 9.79 - TLD
Craig - 12.08 - CR
Connery - 12.36 - FRWL
Moore - 13.18 - TSWLM
Brosnan - 15.12 - GE

George Lazenby has clearly benefited from having a single popular film, but Dalton rocks in with his two films being the 2nd highest averagely ranked. The lowest ranked films feature Brosnan.

My rules for these rankings

Only unique rankings from the same member were counted in the entire period. For example if their favourite film was GF through 3 rank postings only their 1st ranking for GF would count - if they changed their #2 ranked film in each of their subsequent rankings, these changes would be included.

NSNA, CR67 was not included as very few members had ranked them. If they did rank them, the films below these moved up one place - these films tended to be in the bottom four.

Personal observations

Spectre started well, but very quickly dropped off - especially halfway through the 2016. I wasn't surprised that OHMSS, GF appeared near the top - but FRWL was an unexpected winner. I was really surprised to see how well TLD performed - when I believed that LTK might out perform it.

As a Roger fan I was very happy to see two of his films appear within the top 10 rankings. I started doing this because I wondered if TSWLM had a consistently high-rank amongst fans. I was proven wrong - although found that the film had the best average lowest rank.

Connery really didn't have a good run following GF.
Moore - despite the dislike for him - has a pretty good spread of films across the board. MR had a decent most often rank of 11. The only thing going against him is that he didn't have a top-5 stand-out film like Connery.
QoS' poor positioning was a bit of a shock - quite crazy considering how well his three other films sit with fans.

--

I'll do this again at the end of the year to collate the 2017 rankings. So get ranking so I've got plenty of data to work with!! I did do a raw ranking (duplicates un-removed) of 2015 pre-Spectre and OHMSS was the #1 film.

Enjoy -{

Guess the Movie!

Kovert Potato — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 05:55:42 +0000

Post a screenshot from any Bond movie, and we have to guess where it is from.

Winner posts the next screenshot.

I guess if no can get it right or the previous poster doesn't confirm the answer in 48 hours, anyone can go next.

Note: I searched but didn't find this topic - so I hope its not a re-post!

Choose Your Own 007 World Travel Tour

Kovert Potato — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 09:29:40 +0000

You are offered an all-expenses paid, world class tour to visit all the locations - both real and fictitious (e.g. underground lair or w/e) from a JB film. Everything is taken care of, you will be treated like royalty.

The tour lasts for 2 months, with locations sensibly spread across that time (roughly equally). You can take a +1 with you if you'd like.

THREE QUESTIONS

1. Which ONE film would you choose?

2. Which film would you choose if you could also meet the characters relevant to each location? They exist as they did in the movie, but they are all nice and friendly - may even give you gifts, so villains won't be a problem.

3. Which film would you choose if it also allowed you to TIME TRAVEL back to the relevant year that the film happened to take your holiday? It's still a regular tour as above. Once its over, you return to the present time - nothing you do will affect the space time continuum.

Choose!

Space perhaps?

The James Bond Anagram Game

CoolHandBond — Sun, 02 Jul 2017 00:41:02 +0000

I have searched but cannot see an anagram game on here but if there is I'm sure Barbel will close this pretty quickly

Simple rules: Create an anagram of a Bond title, character, actor, actress, crew member or whatever. First one to guess correctly gets to post the next anagram.

Maybe best to state if it's a movie, character or whatever when you post the question. No need to wait for confirmation as it should be obvious if you have it right so carry on and post your anagram.

So the first one is a movie: No Social Year

Name facts that only two Bond actors had in common

Dutchfinger — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 06:23:47 +0000

Just a small little game...
Can you think of some facts that only two actors playing Bond had in common? For example:

Only Sean Connery & George Lazenby - Had Brown eyes.

Only Sean Connery & Roger Moore - Played Bond seven times.

Only Pierce Brosnan & George Lazenby - Never had a Felix Leiter in their movies.

Only George Lazenby & Daniel Craig - Didn't end up with a girl in bed at the end of their movies. (Although Craig is proberbly going to change this!)

Only Timothy Dalton & Pierce Brosnan - Had their 'own' unique moneypenny.

Only Timothy Dalton & George Lazenby - Played Bond in just one particular decade.

Only Pierce Brosnan & Roger Moore - Smoked cigars in their movies.

I'm sure you guys can think of more!

Facts on Bond ( Might not be true )

Thunderpussy — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 00:25:36 +0000

Finally a place for all those little known or false facts on all things Bond.

Both Connery and Moore were up for the Part of Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing.
Only when Patrick Swayze Challanged them to a Dance off, did they Back down.

In 1978 Moore threatened to leave the series if his Belief in UFOs was not shown
on screen hence Moonraker being rushed after TSWLM.

Dalton was a Big fan of Bare knuckle fighting and had several trained Monkeys
fight for his entertainmant.

If you rearange the letters fron TMWTGG it spells out, Satan is a nice bloke.

Following a heated argument D Craig threw a Tank of Oil over Gemma Arterton, as the
film was behind schedule it was worked in to the plot.

The invisible car often broke down and wouldn't work. Leaving the actors to have to
pretend it was there.

DAD, was nominater for Best film in 2002.

During the filming of OP, Moore dressed as a clown did indeed perform in a local Circus
showing his skill at juggling, magic tricks and Pie throwing. Sadly his fear of sawdust
stopped him from taking the gig fulltime.

The code running through the Fleming novels tells of all major Human events for
the 20th Century and the start of the 21st.

The 007 Quote Association Game

Christmas Tounes — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 21:44:16 +0000

Rules: Like the James Bond Quote Conversation Game combined with the word association game.

A 'conversation' which can change course suddenly if a member posts a new quote which is associated with one or more words from the previous quote.

Quotes from the film series only, from any characters.

Can be single word quotes.

Start:

Is that true what you said about the British secret service?

Bond Elimination Game

DutchJamesBondFan — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:48:53 +0000

I don't know this game is already played. But it's like ranking the Bonds, on a kind of different way. There is also a Film Elimination Game, so why not the Bonds themselves?

1. Sean Connery 9 (-1)
2. George Lazenby 10
3. Roger Moore 10
4. Timothy Dalton 10
5. Pierce Brosnan 10
6. Daniel Craig 11 (+1)

I'm sorry for Sean Connery, Dr. No was nothing specials, FRWL and Goldfinger were both very nice. But TB, YOLT and DAF were terribly bad in my onpinion. That's why I'm taking one point.

Best "M"

002 — Sun, 25 Oct 2015 10:44:27 +0000

A much shorter list and, therefore, a shorter game. +1 or -2 as per usual rules.

[10] Bernard Lee
[10] Robert Brown
[10] Judi Dench
[10] Ralph Fiennes

Which film? Help appreciated!

00Bay — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 20:51:53 +0000

Today my physiotherapist showed me a stretch he calls the "James Bond Kiss". You have to hug yourself very tightly - just like 007 did in one of the earlier films (Sean Connery, I believe) when pretending to be locked in an embrace with an imaginary lover to avoid being noticed by the bad guys. I recognised the scene instantly, but can recall neither the film, nor the scene / from whom 007 was avoiding detection. Any ideas? Your expert help appreciated in advance!

best hair-do of each actor (aka another dreadful ranking)

HatThrowingHenchman — Wed, 06 Jan 2016 07:33:44 +0000

since a lot of rankings are going on at the moment, I thought I'd do the inevitable and have this now ranked, too

up for it are the looks that look different than what the actors used to have
Contestants:

- Connery in DAF
- Lazenby in OHMSS
- Moore in AVTAK
- Dalton in LTK
- Brosnan in GE
- Craig in SF

take into account:
1. fitting the fasion at the time or not?
2. shininess
3. easy destroyable by the wind

Unlikely things to be said in a Bond Film ?

Apologies if this has already been posted ( I did look but didn't find one )

Your choice of Unlikely lines to hear in a Bond film,

" No, she's a Diesel. Better economy! "
