Bond, Ranked Bond: The Cold War’s Horniest Spy
This movie rules! I had a smile on my face for the entire third act.
Stray Thoughts/Spoilers
- Dr. Holly Goodhead
- Bond was still surprised to see a woman doctor in the year of our lord 1979
- Bond kills a henchman, and Drex just lets him keep playing?
- The guy hiding in the coffin!
- The high-speed gondola/motorcar
- Callback to Spy Who Loved Me where the guy looks at alcohol after spotting a Bond vehicle, wondering if he’s drunk and hallucinating — a thing that definitely happens
- The code to the door is the Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme.
- The clocktower fight
- “Play it again, Sam,” says Bond as Chang falls through a piano. The only piano joke the writers could think of?
- How does the diary shoot a dart??
- Bond at Carnivale in a tuxedo
- Jaws chewing through the cable for the cable car
- The woman who smiles at Jaws does NOT have braces. Never did
- Dr. Goodhead tears out a tuft of that guy’s hair
- Bond dressed as Clint Eastwood, watching two monks fight
- MORE boat chases. At least Bond has Wacky Races-grade weapons
- Jaws is included in the selection of perfect human specimens — Nietzsche’s Übermensch is alive and his name is Jaws
- Space station emergency stop
- Oh my god, all those men in space shooting each other with lasers. Star Wars wishes
- Chekov’s wristwatch dart gun
- Jaws and his partner having some champagne before being launched into space — “Don’t worry, they’ll make it. It’s only 100 miles to Earth”
- Zero gravity space sex on the monitor. Q says, “I think he’s attempting re-entry, sir.”
