Off Topic Film sequels better than the orignal ....

I'm trying to work out if you are joking. Moore was appalling, as was Brosnan - it's not a ****ing comedy. The most underrated is Dalton - by a stretch the best actor to have played the role, and the only one who plays Bond as he is in the books, followed by Craig, then Connery.

 

No, Bond just meant something different to me.
Bond films are utterly ludicrous, plotwise, and I grew up with a Bond who didn't take himself, or the job, too seriously, he was a clown.
thats why I think he worked for me.
Dalton was a great actor, but took himself far too seriously.
Brosnan rode a great line between serious and quippy, that I liked (shame his films sucked).
Craig is just a tool.

Bond is not serious to me. Maybe its why i like Archer and Austen powers so much

 

Theres a sequel that was just as good as the first.

Austin Powers the spy who shagged me haha

 

I think, if I viewed them like that, I'd never watch another one. They aren't funny enough to be spoofs, so you have to buy into them to get anything at all.

 

Hated it.
Worst of the three.
Goldmember was slightly better than Spy, but the first one is by far the best for me

 

Must admit, as Roger Moore got older it was a little bit of a stretch all these hot young ladies wanting to jump in his bed. Not his fault he got older, but they probably could have use more common sense in the writing instead of pretending he wasn't a wrinkly old prune.

 

Liz Hurley?

 

Yeah, I felt cheated by the second one. It was just a rehash of all the exact same jokes from the first one done not as well.

Heather Graham looked good in it though.

 

He's 3 years older than Connery, surely you go younger when someone takes over a role.

 

Oh they are.
Octopussy is hilarious.
When he sits up in that body bag and scares those guys "NICHA KAROSKA!! MOOOOOOOOOJJ!" and they run off.
Or "double six, fancy that" without even looking at the dice.

or the scene is Moonraker where he is on the clay pigeon shooting range with the baddie, who has paid a sniper to sit in the trees across the field and take Bond out.
The Clay releases and Bond shoots, and the Clay stays intact....the bad guy laughs and says "You missed, Mr Bond", to which Moore replies "Did I?" and it cuts to the snipers dead body falling out of the tree

****ing hilarious!!

 

If you want a rehash, try watching Airplane (brilliant) and Airplane 2 - almost exactly the same jokes.

 

She was HOT as **** in that movie, in the leather cat suit at the end !!!!

 

I'm always shocked when I remember Octopussy was written by one of my favourite authors (George MacDonald Fraser - the Flashman author). I don't see his hand in it at all.

 

we have common ground at last.

 

All three leading ladies were hot in Austin Powers movies.

Hurley is very nice on the eyes but I've never been convinced with her as an actress.

 

Indeed

Which red blooded heterosexual male wouldn't find this attractive?!

Regarding Bond as a "spoof", I don't view it as such, but I see it as something light-hearted and fantastical. To me it's all about silly obscene stunts some good action (hopefully a decent story) and the occasional laugh to lighten the mood.

I wouldn't classify it as a comedy. More an action flick with moments of humour.

 

I thought she looked better in that movie she played the devil. Dumb movie but she was hot.

 

Hotter in Sharpe - topless scene

 

They seem to have substituted sexy women for beanpoles with no charisma or sex appeal.
