Heck everyone seems to forget about that bullet since Q Branch is examining the fragment to determine the maker.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130912260408301801.post-7817907648620467952012-05-10T01:54:40.592-04:002012-05-10T01:54:40.592-04:00Thanks for the link.

I haven't seen that special before, but a couple sort of like that were very helpful to getting my fandom started in 1995.<br /><br />It's cool to see the stunt without the slide whistle, I agree that's how it should've been. I don't think adding the whistle was a good idea at all, but I'm not bothered by it.<br /><br />- CodyLife Between Frameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186028067136953502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130912260408301801.post-3253715033905104272012-05-10T00:58:10.768-04:002012-05-10T00:58:10.768-04:00As you must have guessed by now - I am a Bond fana...As you must have guessed by now - I am a Bond fanatic above all else. That said - you're right - this is a dizzying mix of the good and bad - for me, probably the worst EON Bond film. That it was the last contribution by Harry Saltzman (and it's all his - Cubby pretty much sat this out) makes me glad he did team up with Cubby - especially when Mr. B returns with his response to this movie - and it's The Spy Who Loved Me!<br /><br />And once again, in this Bond fans not all that humble opinion - the car flip is the single greatest stunt in the series. Bar none. And it is COMPLETELY UNDONE by that stupid %&#@* slide whistle. My GOD what were they thinking?!?!<br /><br />So, way back around the time of the release of Octopussy, I'm still trying to track down all of the Bonds to watch, as home video is a relatively new thing - and it tells you how far back this was that I was renting some on Beta and some on VHS - anyway, there was a TV special celebrating "21 Years of Bond." Various celebrities wax eloquent on 007 - pretty good stuff. Well, there are clips from the movies in between each celebrity's monologue - and they stick in JW and Bond as they get ready to jump - I haven't at this point seen TMWTGG - anyway, here's this clip (with JW's GD comment intact on broadcast TV, somehow!) and when the jump occurs - it has this revving car engine sound over that is PERFECT for the scene and makes the stunt 2000% more effective. Now, at this pointI haven't seen the whole movie - so I don't know that the TV special people have altered this clip for the show - imagine my jawdropping disgust and surprise when that stupid whistle went off when I finally did see the whole movie! For the record, my trained ear can now tell you that the gunning motor sound that replaced the whistle in the clip was taken from the moon buggy chase in Diamonds are Forever. The special is on YouTube - here is a link:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-hshnV3mko<br /><br />Go watch that - check out the clip around the 7:30 mark - you'll finish up a bit from Diamonds, then British racing driver Stirling Moss will make a quick comment - then you can see the scene as it was meant to be seen (heard). I hope you do check it out - and please let me know what you think if you do!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
