[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 490736, member: 527"] QUOTING SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hand of Evil says: Chain Lightning says: Huh? He's frequently captured! It's such a cliche, hence the phrase "Before I kill you Mr. Bond..." Doesnt this dialogue snippet sound familiar?: Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?" Villian: "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die! (Hahaha)" As far as stretching the boundaries goes, wasnt Bond even "killed" at the beginning of one of the older movies? Perhaps thats the problem with the franchise; by the time you do 20 movies everything has been done before, and probably done better. -edit- Actually, one interesting thing is to look back at the old Bond movies; they're a little slice of history preserved. I caught a screening of "Dr. No" (I believe that was the one) a while back at a revival theater. Do you notice how much time Bond spends drinking and smoking in that movie? He avoids an assassins plan to poison the Scotch in his hotel room (!) because he carries his own bottle of Scotch around in his luggage. Lol. On the other hand, my Asian friends didnt find the portray of Asians very funny. Not lol at all. Welcome to the early 60's; a place where about half of the Civil Rights movement is still in the future. [/QUOTE]
