I remember it that way too! I saw that movie like five times when I was a teenager. You know how, like, people will mix up all the letters in a word but as long as the first and last one are correct people still read it like normal? Maybe it's the same thing. The joke was so obvious, so THERE so our minds filled in the blank subconsciously and saw it the "correct" way.

Maybe when Jaws flashed his choppers I was like "thar be choppers" and then Dolly flashed her big buck teeth and I was like "thar be choppers" and somewhere across the years my mind transposed "choppers" with "braces" because I don't know if people even HAVE braces in Scandinavia and then some goon started perpetuating a lie about there being braces and everyone was too preoccupied to care whether it was true or not Anyways. It's weird.

Payndz posted:I didn't particularly like Skyfall, but I thought it was interesting in that it portrayed Bond as a man who utterly failed at every task he was assigned and was reduced to an emotionally broken husk, yet still 'won' by being alive when the series reset button got hit at the end. Die Another Day was also the most financially successful Bond film. I don't recall whether Casino Royale beat it but I think it stood until Skyfall?

There is nothing loving way she didn't have braces, ya'll are just loving with me to make me waste my time watching Moonraker again. Pretty good troll, al told.

Main problem I had with Goldfinger (well besides the bad fainting sequence) is when they crush the Lincoln Continental which weighs 3 tons into a microwave sized cube and placed in a tiny pickup bed with a load rating of 500 lbs.

You're thinking of when Tiger's woman calls in a helicopter to fly in with a huge magnet to pick up the car following them and drop it in the ocean, all while Bond and the woman watch on he car's TV screen, which should be impossible unless there is a second helicopter that is just supposed to film the first one.

Nope the car crush was Goldfinger. You Only Live Twice was faking death, turning Japanese, drop of poison down a string, volcano lair, and Blofield reveal. edit: you know I forgot about that car magnet thing until it was mentioned above. So much crazy crap happened in that movie.

They ran out of ideas for that car chase and Barbara Broccoli (age 7) suggested the helicopter/magnet scene.

Might have to watch that today. Also had the Toyota 2000 GT. I watched For Your Eyes Only yesterday. Forgot about the skiing down the bobsled track.

It's kind of interesting watching the Bond movies and seeing how they try to keep them "relevant" by inserting what was in popular culture at the time, with questionable results for the most part. Live and Let Die-Blaxploitation Golden Gun-Kung fu movies Moonraker-Star Wars License To Kill-80s cop shows and movies Die Another Day-XxXtreeeme! (what a horrid era of movies) It's a shame that Dalton's era ended so soon, he was ahead of his time with Craig bringing back the "dark" Bond. I feel like Moore's movies just all kind of blend together and only a few of them really stand out, the rest are just kind of blah. For the other actors each movie has an impact and is memorable for better or for worse. The book "Some Kind of Hero" is an interesting look into the stories of all the movies up until Spectre, worth reading for Bond fans.

Dalton was a great Bond and both his movies were at least "good" (LtK was great) and I'll never understand why he gets poo poo on all the time. I like him better than Moore and Brosnan for sure. I wish he'd had one more film.

Saint Freak posted:I watched Moonraker a couple months back and apparently I had misremembered the scene with Jaws meeting his girlfriend. Like, in my mind he smiles revealing his metal teeth and she smiles revealing big braces and that's the joke; they both have mouths of metal. Except that doesn't happen because she does not have braces. I'm thinking its interference from the end of Better Off Dead were the nerd character meets a girl nerd who has blond pig tails and braces.

Live and Let Die is real bad, but it's entertainingly crazy bad. Everyone remembers it as racist, but it's like 1970s parochial English racism superimposed on America while sometimes trying to not be racist. Based on what it shows us, all black people in America are part of a Caribbean drug cartel, with speedboat gangsters and Mission: Impossible masks and alligator farms. They are run out of a chain of soul food restaurants that runs from New York to New Orleans, with trapdoors in the floor and soul singers doing Wings covers that laugh at you when you're captured. They have a fleet of pimpmobiles with TV guided dart guns in their side mirrors. Also, they know where the white women are at, specifically the English virgin white women who are voodoo tarot psychics and have the IQ of a cannoli. The best side character is the black CIA agent who rescues Bond from getting shot in a Harlem back alley, the dude basically laughs at Bond the entire movie until the New Orleans Jazz Death Squad Parade gets him. He's the SECOND character killed by the New Orleans Jazz Death Squad Parade. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Dec 28, 2016 |

Thinking about the Moore movies, The Spy Who Loved me is the only one that is actually consistent in any way, unless you count Live and Let Die's consistent insanity. For Your Eyes Only is the next closest, but everything involving Bibi is appalling and Moore is already way too old for this Bond poo poo. Colostomy Bag posted:I thought the mechanical hand that made his arm 1 foot longer was well done. I sort of give them credit for not even trying to make you think the mechanical arm is the same length as his regular arm, it's just a great big mechanical thing. On the other hand they try to do the Mission: Impossible mask disguise for real instead of just using 2 actors, and it just makes Yaphet Koto look like he has influenza.

The Spy Who Loved Me somehow cobbles together some crazy ideas into a coherent story. The Moore movie glossed over though is Octopussy. Felt like it was underrated, but the "All Time High" theme song didn't quite fit even though it was based on a bunch of acrobatics.

General Gogol was in like half the films and I only remember him in Spy who Loved Me (because he was significant to the plot) and his random token appearance in Living Daylights. Definetly don't remember much about Octopussy, though the clown suit just came back into my mind. bleah. edit: Oh wait Gogol was in near the end of FYEO too, "now no one has the ATAC" etc. It's coming back slowly.

I believe that the rumour is that Gogol was intended to be the Soviet general in Daylights, but for whatever reason they couldn't get the actor so had to create "the new head of the KGB" General Pushkin. Similar to trying to get Barbara Bach to do a cameo in AVTAK and not being able to so having to create Pola Ivanova.

I'm pretty sure the actor for Gogol was in ill health and died shortly after his Daylights cameo hence that change. It's a bitch when your characters out live your actors.
