Moore certainly had that intangible on-screen gravitas as Bond but the films themselves haven't really aged well in my opinion due to the tongue-in-cheek vibe in many of the scenes. By today's standards they seem a bit campy.



I thought they were campy by the '90's lol. Still, Moore was my favourite Bond as he was the one i grew up with.

I don't have any problem with it as long as it's not 007.

007 is written in the book as Caucasian.

All the other 00s can be martian for all I care as long as 007 James Bond stays true to it's literary character.


I may be wrong on this, but in this film, I believe it begins with Bond being retired. The actress playing the 00 may be 007, but it's because he has left the service and she is his replacement.

She is most certainly NOT the new James Bond. The character of Bond may one day be played by a transgender humpback whale, but I suspect it won't happen until Barbara Brocolli is no longer at the helm.

Oh man did I crush hard on Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith), the third of my childhood sweethearts (#1 Audrey Hepburn in the jungle plays with animals movie, #2 Ellie Walker [Elinor Donahue] the pharmacist). Kelly wins as she had that sexy 'chicks with guns' thing going, also Karate/Judo. smile

As an avid watcher of Charlie's Angels in the day, I don't remember this scene at all (not that I would know who Remington Steele was yet).

Remington Steele?

That's Timothy Dalton in a 1979 Season 4 episode of Charlie's Angels.

One of the 6 episodes Farrah was in after she quit the show a the end of the first season, breaking her 5 year contract commitment to the series.

As part of her being released early from her contract, she was required to return for 6 episodes.

Dalton play a To Catch A Thief type cat burglar and the Angels have to stop him from stealing a priceless diamond.

In the episode during the series' opening trademark briefing by Charlie over the speaker, he also mentioned the guy is like a James Bondian person.

Who would had thought Dalton will play Bond 8 years later.

What I meant was that I wouldn't have known it was Remington Steele because that character didn't exist yet. smile

Wrong Bond. Brosnan played RS, not Dalton.

Dalton also played the Errol Flynn-esque actor/Nazi spy in "The Rocketeer" after playing Bond, which was a fun tie-in. And he did "miss Hollywood".


SALUTE TO ALL!

Not sure how you got Remington Steele out of a clip of Timothy Dalton in an episode of Charlie's Angels.

Remington Steele was played by Pierce Brosnan.

Brosnan was the worst bond in my opinion, but I loved him in Remington Steele. Maybe my prejudice is based of him being typecast as the PI--his humor and faux debonnaire behavior was far less sincere than Roger Moore who at least did not try and downplay who he was.

Brosnan was only good in Goldeneye, a script that was written for Dalton by Michael France, same guy who wrote the screenplay to Cliffhanger.

Tomorrow Never Dies was his best Bond film out of the remaining other 3 he starred in.

Why did the Bond producers never used Michael France again is beyond me.

After Tomorrow Never Dies was written by a different screenwriter, the 6 Bond films following it, 2 for Brosnan and 4 for Craig, were written by the same team of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

I think that's the reason why the Craig films, except for Casino Royale, are so tiring and repetitive.

Brosnan was a good Bond, unfortunately for him, he came in at a time when they were trying to reinvent the character and gave him horrible movies. Goldeneye was pretty good, but most were just plain crap.

After mainstream audiences rejected the dark and serious Timothy Dalton Bond, the producers really saw no choice but to go back to the tongue in cheek, less serious Bond when they hired Brosnan.

I liked Timothy Dalton.

I think he is better than Moore, Brosnan and Craig.

Moore only had 2 good films: The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only.

Brosnan only had 1 good film: Goldeneye.

Craig also only had 1 good film: Casino Royale.

I also think the BEST Bond are still Connery and Lazenby.

Lazenby would have stuck around for more films but he bad-mouthed the producers a lot so he was dumped.

I'll concede that Quantum of Solace was average but Skyfall was fantastic and Spectre was very good.

I also heard that his agent told him to quit because the character and role was outdated.
