Shadowman4710 they are something that should never be remade and this is one of them it was a classic and Daniel Craig f***** it up me at the new Bond infinite my friend you get a sub from me on your channel thank you I was wondering how long people would figure it out that the new bonds sucks the original family that owns the film rights to it as f*** the new franchise up totally and with the exception of that Sean Connery Bond version that was not allowed to use to copyrighted music that was terrible too and what she tried to reprise his James Bond room I forgot the name of it
@Shadowman47107 жыл бұрын
I've seen a few minutes of the Daniel Craig movie but I don't have any interest in watching that or any of the new Bond films. For me, the franchise reached it's peak with "Diamonds are Forever" (yes I know that a lot of Bond fans don't like that one but....whatever) and I haven't enjoyed many since then. I think you're thinking "Never Say Never Again" the 1983 reboot of 1965's Thunderball.

I was too young to understand this movie when it came out, and apparently so was everybody else. It was a mish-mosh, with too much psychedelia, but I love every minute of it. The Burt Bacharach score, and the Tijuana Brass and Dusty Springfield! And the cast! And Niven driving the Bentley 4 1/2 Litre Blower....

At 5:15, when the car starts to move with the lion on the roof, on the soundtrack the theme of the film "Born Free" plays. That movie, based on a true-life book, was about people raising a lion in Africa and letting her go off and be wild when she grew up. The song "Born Free" was a big hit.

This movie's taken a lot of stick, but in parts it's terrific. Great music, great titles, some lovely set pieces (I love the grouse shoot). If the whole movie was as good as the best bits, this would have been a classic. As it was, we had to wait for Austin Powers to get the definitive Bond spoof.

If this beautifully trippy opening credits sequence doesn't perfectly encapuslate the groovin and far-out vibes of Swinging London, nothing does! Fault 1967's Casino Royale all you want - as an adaptation of the Fleming novel, as a parody of the spy genre, even as an intelligible and successful work of cinema - but you can't deny it having one of the grooviest soundtracks and hypnotizing credit sequences put to film.

Blame Princess Margaret. She visited the set and Peter Sellers couldn't wait to meet her. What he didn't know was that Margaret and Welles were friends; she'd been his guest at his villa in Spain. So Sellers got a cold fish handshake and Welles got a long chummy chat. After that Sellers wouldn't even appear on set if Welles was there.

The very start of the film only works as a joke if you understand the two men are in a "pissoir" - a public urinal for men on the sidewalks of Paris. The advertising poster on the left for Pschitt carbonated water is a crude ribald joke for English-speaking audiences, including the image of the liquid from the bottle spurting up into the cartoon man's mouth. Finally there's the additional element of the innocent young schoolgirls being led past by a nun while the men are interacting, with Peter Sellers looking towards the other man's crotch to see his "credentials".
