See you back at the lodge!
Bond figuratively misplays his hand in The World Is Not Enough with this quote during the ski chase. He mistakenly believes he has dispatched his pursuant parahawk enemies, when one flies over the edge of a cliff. Unfortunately for Bond,… Read More →

You wouldn’t kill me. You’d miss me.
This is one of the most savage Bond moments in all of the movies, let alone in The World Is Not Enough. Despite this threat from Electra King, Bond shoots her dead point blank after she radios to Renard to… Read More →

He had no head for heights
Another forced quip from Bond, this time in For Your Eyes Only after he kicks Emile Locque and his car off a cliff. Apparently “head for heights” describes someone who is not afraid of heights. But even so, using it… Read More →

The Spectre Rome car chase is underrated

“A new Bond, new start, fresh everything”
The above phrasing appears in the latest rumor mill Bond 26 article from Deadline. And although it’s nice to hear any news or rumors about the next movie, this characterization of the next Bond movie is a letdown. I’ll never… Read More →
