I can never remember anything from this movie. I've seen all the films multiple times and this is the only one which constantly makes my eyes gloss over. Hell, I watched it a month ago and I still couldn't tell you anything about it.
I can't figure out why though, the things I do remember are great, like that sexy crossbow chick, and Bond ruthlessly kicking that car off the cliff, the rest is a blur.
I can never remember the name, but that is one of the best ones. Top three.
Yes. Even the poster is stolen from a shot in YOLT. This movie is the low point for Moore and if you watch them in order it will make you love Octopussy and Moonraker
>Even the poster is stolen from a shot in YOLT.
Show proof.
i remember bond hanging out a ski resort and the villain's young daughter trying to bang him
Not him but it's when Connery is in the hot tub and the Asian chick steps up. They shot between her legs and you see connerys face
Ohhhhhh ahh so. Thanks.
That one just just mentioned in the best Connery one, You Only Live Twice.
My fav is The Spy Who Loved Me.
One of my favourites as an adult but didn't get it as a kid. Good back to basics spy thriller. The scenes withe the countess could have been cut and it desperately needed a bit more action in the finale but there's plenty of great stuff in there.
The ending is one of the best endings to any film too.
>BOND: :D
>RUSSIAN DUDE: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
He fucked cunny in this one right?
Here’s my issues with it
>”i’ll buy you a steel delicatessen!”
Intro is embarrassing as fuck. Real TLJ moment for cheap kicks. The director’s hamfisted attempt at telling you “this adventure is going to make blofeld look like child’s play!”
>Who tf is the villian
While I like the moustached businessman that Bond works with at the end, the bait and switch of him not being the main villian detracts from the actual main villian, who’s name and goal I can literally not remember. It’s impossible to remember actually, no matter how many times I watch it. Makes the blofeld death intro even more embarrassing.
>contrived “bond narrowly escapes death” scenes
This movie is full of the “needlessly complex plan to murder someone” trope to a tired degree. All of this in spite of it being advertised as “taking bond back to basics”. And they’re not fun contrived scenarios either like in Live and Let Die. The Hockey rink, the Ski jump, the Scuba suit. They’re all just ridiculous.
>no interesting new settings
Almost every location and action set in this movie has been done before and better in prior entries.
Quantum of Solace
after he meets Tanaka and goes to the Asian bath house (which are real btw)
Also hottest bond girl(male)
Nah the cunny wanted him but he kept pivoting. Pretty funny, if a little weird.
Octopussy is my personal favourite Moore film, that clown scene is actually tense as hell and Roger plays the panic really well. People just hate it for the memes.
Octopussy is my favorite Bond film, period. Great as a cold war spy film, great as a comic adventure film, and Maud Adams and Louis Jordan are fantastic
I believe they reversed the bikini for that poster, so they showed the front image.
the cunny needed a new “sponsor” aka sugar daddy. Shit was pedo af.
having a clown try and save the world is an interesting premise but it’s a low point for Bond. I don’t think anyone but Moore would have agreed to that. That being said Octopussy is actually a pretty damn fun Bond flick. I like it more than view to a kill and Moore’s other later movies
I'm scared of heights and so the rock climbing scene makes this far and away the scariest Bond film for me but apart from that it's absolutely the most forgettable of the franchise. Far from the worst, but nothing special. I'm pretty sure it's the first one where he sleeps with an older woman which seems like the producers recognising that Moore was rapidly approaching his Skeletor phase he was in by the time A View To A Kill came out (should've been Dalton's first movie imo).
I think they just had her wear it backward to prevent as much butt from hanging out I assume
So they didn't show so much butt-crack.
>I'm pretty sure it's the first one where he sleeps with an older woman
complete opposite. He gets chased by cunny in this one. View to a Kill is when he’s with the older woman and cooks her a quiche in attempt to reconcile with Bonds womanizing
That was the villain's love interest, not his daughter. She ends up with 48 year old Topol.
all the old bond films suck
its one of those things that sounds bullshit but true, they turned the thong bikini around instead of just getting a less revealing bikibottom
Unmitigated kino
Octopussy would've been decent, if a little campy, if it'd ended with the clown scene or the train scene. After the palace scene and then the plane scene it felt like it had 4 fucking climaxes in a row and I was just bored at that point.
He's chased by the ice skater but he fucks the middle-aged woman who turns out to have an English commoner accent while scouting out the guy, though IIRC? I'll admit I haven't committed much of FYEO to memory
t. Licence to Kill chad
Anyone elses dad or grandad constantly have james bond on the tv as a kid? I must have watched every bond at least 6 times just because I was in the same room as the tv at night.
The plane scene in Octopussy remains some of the best sfx/stunt work I've ever seen, you'd be a retard to cut that out
octopussy is good but I prefer live and let die and spy who loved me
Tomorrow Never Dies is the most forgettable Bond flick, exact same plot as The Spy Who Loved Me with none of the charm, filmed like a shitty TV movie and the villain is a bigger dumbass than Dr. Evil from Austin Powers
Main thing I remember is that one of the background extras in the pool scene was a tranny but the tabloids used the headlines 'New Bond Girl is a Man' which confused lots of people as the actual Bond Girl in the movie had some tomboyish attributes and many mistook her for a man.
>Tomorrow Never Dies is the most forgettable Bond flick
It also is boring, sucks, and has bad choreography and music.
>most forgettable

Girl's ass is way too small.
Although the entire premise of 007 is "what if a British guy was straight" so there's some wiggle room there.
The only thing I even remember from this is that Lois Lane is in it.
Then cut out the train stuff or the palace stuff. There's no reason they couldn't have saved a good idea for later to make each film better rather than bloat them (and their budgets) out so much.
There's something about the weird pre-matrix black-leather against skyscraper aesthetic is has that makes me remember it more than The World Is Not Enough. Although that movie has Brosnan's best theme song
youtube.com
A shame it doesn't make up for all his gay ass speeches
At the time I'd agree with you, people thought the idea of the villain was too fantastic and unbelievable. Now it seems very plausible.
>Inb4 muh Rupert Murdoch inspired villain
Yeah yeah I know, but it was over-exaggerated. Feels like now we're closing in on that level of media ridiculousness.
I was waiting for him to sell Bond an Infiniti.
It has nothing to do with that, it's the generally bad dialogue he's given and his complete incompetence. I know it's a meme in the series that the villain talks to Bond instead of killing him, but Carver takes it past self-parody. Even after Bond has murdered hundreds of his goons and cost him billions of dollars, he's still giving dumb speeches and making journalism puns

In other news, CNN has a new president this week. Coincidentally, when the new president of CNN had a brain aneurysm a decade ago, it was Joe Biden who arranged for brain surgeon Dr. Vivek Deshmukh to operate on Licht. What an amazingly small world it is.
Except people like Rupert Murdoch aren't anything new, it's like no one ever heard of William Randolph Hearst
>He's chased by the ice skater but he fucks the middle-aged woman who turns out to have an English commoner accent
There's a weird undercurrent in this movie where they attempt to acknowledge Bond's past with references to OHMSS and that he's getting older with his scenes with Bibi/Lisl. It doesn't seem to go anywhere though.
Might have been a feeble attempt at showing he had ethics and didn't just fuck any hole just to fuck it. Or maybe they saw they were losing the middle age woman demographic and thought that was a way to bolster his appeal with them.
Dog shit opinion. Kys
FYEO is based as fuck and appreciated by all high test Bond fans
youtube.com
Why is it a lowpoint for Bond? Maybe it is for his character in the film, he's literally so scared and desperate that he'll do this to sneak in, but that sounds pretty damn compelling to me. Maybe if he'd done wacky clown stuff while in the outfit it would have been shit but the scene is played completely straight, and Moore is at his most serious the entire time.
With all that context claiming
>Nooooo it's a low point for the franchise!!!
just comes across as whining. Connery trying to pass as a Japanese man in You Only Live Twice is far, far worse.
only faggots don't like all 3. stick to Craigshit, homo
Diamonds Are Forever is awful.
Disagree, honestly my favorite of Connery's after FRWL. Also it helped inspire Fallout: New Vegas lol
Agreed, it technically has lots of big set pieces and memorable locations but it's by far the most low energy entry in the franchise, Connery really did not care
He cared way more than he did in YOLT. he actually seems like he's having fun in DAF
I feel like it's a combination of the three scenarios that were happening at the time.
>Moore leaves the role and those scenes tie the new actor to the character
>Moore stays but its his last film and the nods to the past are a farewell
>Moore stays on for a couple more films but is noticeably older and he can't bang stupidly young chicks any more
>Is this the most forgettable Bond film
that's most of moore films
apart from live and let die and moonraker (and none of these movies are good btw), all these movies look and feel the same.
based dalton saved bond from senile moore bond garbage
>Moore rejects a young girl's advances in FYEO
>Bond girl in Octopussy is a mature woman to match his age
>then in AVTAK they just cast a ditzy blonde bimbo as his girl
my biggest gripe with A View to a Kill
What makes it worse is that they put Moore in these old man suits and style his hair to make him look even more like a fuddy duddy. Almost as if Bond being old was part of the plot but later dropped, yet they still pair him with Tanya Roberts. The shower scene at the end is pretty cringe too, still love AVTAK though. Easily the weirdest and most unique entry
The Man with the Golden Gun is better than both Dalton films.
>better locations
>better villain
>better badguy hideout
>better Bond
Only thing I'd say Dalton has the edge in is stunts, and even then golden gun has the car flip
Agreed, it feels like low budget sleaze
LTK is my favorite 007 flick but I do love Golden Gun, Nick Nack is the greatest henchman ever
Scaramanga is a 10/10 villain, but like 90% of the conflict at the end being caused by the Bond Girl's butt is bad filmmaking, the enemies capturing Bond and thinking "Ah yes, let's kill him by putting him into a children's karate school" is retarded, and the Texan cop character + slide whistle manages to turn the film's best stunt into the equivalent of a fart joke. Fuck TMWTGG.
The worst thing about the later old-man Moore movies is him banging hot young women and then flirting with Grannypenny like she's hot shit. It's like watching your parents dirty talk.
Lois Maxwell is hot as fuck in every Bond film
t. milfchad
I much prefer Moore dressing for his age than forcing him into fashionable clothing, like some other unnamed miserable bastard in his 50s who keeps trying to squeeze into trendy suits two sizes too small for him.
Moore and Maxwell was the last time Bond and Moneypenny had any actual chemistry.
It's not every day you see a rifle grenade in a movie
Fashionable suits in the 80s weren't exactly tight fitting, he could have gotten away with it easily. Not like he metrosexual suits of today
