Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
I always thought it was kind of funny in the Goldeneye game how guards took a long time to aim at you and could never hit you while you could easily hit them but it's exactly like that in the movie. Bond is straight up Rambo in the archive stacks scene (which also is a really cool set for a shootbout btw)

Hello, I was looking for footage of the James Bond “A License To Thrill” theme park ride, and instead stumbled across something much more fascinating.

Huh? Doesn't it imply the opposite, with how Natalya checks a bunch of capitalist governments (including Britain) expecting it's just as likely for him to be there as Cuba? And how Wade offers all that support that could cause an international incident if Cuba and Trevelyan are working together? And how Trevelyan doesn't have any Cuban liaisons or Cuban-speaking mercenaries?

the spike starts tracking geographically from st. petersburg moving west and it's an automatic process

wade's operating out of guantanamo and has that "i am not here" bit to maintain plausible deniability

the goons in the island dish facility are clearly coded caribbean, it isn't a huge stretch

also they speak spanish in cuba

Clint Eastwood plays an art professor who's also a former international assassin and one of the world's best mountaineers. The head of his organisation is a former Nazi albino called Dragon who needs to have his blood replaced on a regular basis. Probably one of Eastwood's strangest star vehicles.

That was really important though because it gives you that "hell yea Bond is back" feeling, which was actually pretty exhilarating in the theater because the Brosnan era had ended on such a down note.

That's funny, I was just thinking about what it would be like to watch this in theaters when there hadn't be any good bond in a while. The end of the intro where it has the closeup on his blue eyes made me

Craig's Bond just blowing through that drywall is another good way to set up his version of the character.

I reckon you could probably re-cut CR and QOS.

CR should only be the first two acts and end on a high note.
Nu-QOS would from the third act of CR, cut all the bad bits out and make a decentish sequel.
