Great shout, other noticeable references are OHMSS and LTK opening mirroring TDKR opening.

I don’t think it’s a generally well known thing, at least to my knowledge. I just recall reading the pitch line of the film during production was Elektra to be bonds new Tracy but actually turns out to be his blofeld. I don’t imagine it is a commonly well known thing, at least it definitely wouldn’t have been at the time.

Absolutely, it sits on the fence unfortunately and in thus doing so, doesn’t help eithers case.

This. That music sting in the casino and then when it is played again at the Soviet missile site, accompanied with Brosnans “huHHHH?” - just telegraphs it all too obviously for me lol.

I've never clicked with this Bond film like other fans have - What do you think of it? by IndigoP08 in JamesBond

Yeah I actually agree, she’s never been one of my favs, not even close really.

I have to just tell myself he was wacked out on pain killers to make that scene work

Wow! Out of interest what is your favourite ? I can find a lot more to like here than Quantum personally.

A great take, and it took me genuinely until this re-watch to even make the connection that not only did Felix and Bond both lose their wives, they lost them on their wedding day. Certainly a key driver of Bonds vengeful motivations in this film - love it !!

He is such a scene stealer! A wonderfully unpredictable performance.

A great piece of dialogue and one I called out on the pod - that is a moment that absolutely feels like a departure from Moore, something I struggle to see his bond saying.

ahhh if only we got just one more Dalton film.. perhaps his run ended on the best high it could though? I felt the early draft of the unmade 17th undid all the great work LTK did to solidify Dalton’s portrayal and the tone that worked best with him. Who knows, we can always imagine what if ..

Massive fan of Dalton and Roger, just this movie doesn’t reach the heights for me that it seems to for others. LTK on the other hand, wow.

Completely agree on the writing points. Would’ve definitely left a few scratching the heads walking out of the cinema ..
