Default Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action

OHMSS is such a great movie. Easily in my top 5 Bond movies.

Sadly... it was followed by....

I just started this so figured would put up the post now for some discussion.

Right off the back, I hate how the whole opening sequence is set-up. We get Bond basically being apathetic towards the man who murdered his wife. He shows no emotion... and not no emotion like stone cold.. just kind of mindlessly fighting people. Then Blofeld is "killed" in a mud bath or whatever. And Connery aged pretty damn quick through these movies!

Anyhow, the next movie in our marathon is Diamonds are Forever, but apparently Sean Connery is not.

Our Bond for the 6th and final time is Sean Connery who just didn't give a damn at this point.

Our villain for the 3rd and really final time is one Blofeld played by another actor

Our Bond girl is Tiffany Case


The movie also features a gay couple henchmen.. I think that's this movie anyhow.

And the girl named after her father, Plenty O'Toole


The Intro/Theme Song
I am actually a fan of the theme song. One of the few things I like about the movie. Also pained me when little brothers didn't know the Kanye West song sampled the movie theme.

The Trailer

And so ends the Connery era and we enter the Golden Age of Moore.
