Bond writer died

Damn , didnt know about his cancer :sad:

[Fang Shih-yu]

Tom Mankiewicz also worked on the scripts for the first two Superman movies; his interviews and commentaries on the DVDs for Superman: The Movie and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut were insightful and colorful. His legacy will be around for future generations to enjoy! RIP, Mr. Mankiewicz....

[Markgway]

He wrote three of the worst Bond films... but regardless RIP.

[Karlos]

Very sad news.

He wrote a fair few films that were a staple part of my movie-watching whilst growing up, and for that, I thank him.

Sleep well, Mr Mankiewicz.

[daisho2004]

He wrote three of the worst Bond films...

Markgway: Are you insane! Live & Let Die was one of the best Bond films made! And I grew up watching them all.

[Markgway]

Markgway: Are you insane! Live & Let Die was one of the best Bond films made! And I grew up watching them all.

Live and Let Die is frankly terrible... and I'm a Bond fan.

[Fang Shih-yu]

There are plenty of people who will go off on Bond films with Roger Moore (most critiques are justified), but Live and Let Die has its good points! Best part of all...two words: Jane Seymour!:kiss:

[mpm74]

He wrote three of the worst Bond films... but regardless RIP.

I was going to comment on this, but he already said he wasn't a Bond fan.

A lot of the Bond stories were actually terrible, but the movies as a whole, are magic. Even the bad ones are good.

The only ones that I think are terrible all-round are most of the Brosnan ones.

Fung Wai Shure, I gotta say, you have great taste. Yes, she is awesome.

[dionbrother]

He also wrote a script for BATMAN in 1983(based on the Englehart-Rogers run) that wasn't used but did sell Warner Bros. on the idea of doing a non-camp version. It's out there on the web and I prefer it to the Sam Hamm script.

I fondly remember his Robert Urich series GAVALIN. So bad it was good, so good it was bad.

[vengeanceofhumanlanterns]

Rest in peace, sir. Live And Let Die has some of the best boat stunt scenes. Some of that stuff had to be meticulously timed. The actor who portrays the sheriff did an excellent job.

[Markgway]

I hated that redneck sheriff character.

The kind of comic relief that killed the 70s Bond films. .

[dionbrother]

I'm not big on the 70s Bonds either, but you had to laugh when Moore mimicked the Sheriff in MAN WITH A GOLDEN GUN. "I sho' am, Boy!"

[mpm74]

70's bond flicks were awesome!

Have you guys seen Diamonds Are Forever? If Quentin Tarantino directed a 007 flick, DOF is how it would turn out.

It's funny how every Bond movie of the 70's was mocking popular films of the time:

Live And Let Die: Blaxploitation films.

Man With The Golden Gun: Kung fu movies.

The Spy Who Loved Me: Jaws

Moonraker: Star Wars/Close Encounters

Of course, one of my favorites is the George Lazenby one... =D

[dionbrother]

The Lazenby film was out in 1969 and holds it own with the early Connery films. If George wasn't such a goddamn stupid hippie, his 007 would have ruled the 1970s. Everybody forgets that ON HER MAJESTYS SECRET SERVICE was a huge hit and was the #3 film at the box office that year.

It's also faithful to the Fleming novel, which is true of the better 007 films.

[mpm74]

He's the only guy to go from BOND to low budget HK and Italian films. lol

What luck... maybe Game of Death with Bruce Lee would have established his career.

He supposedly has a movie (which he directed) called Universal Solider, which is supposed to be really good.

The only movies I've seen of his are Stoner, Kentucky Fried Movie, Man From Hong Kong, Who Saw her Die and part of Death Dimension (which I couldn't watch).

I have Queen's Random, but have yet to watch it.

[Karlos]

Lazenby was perfectly good in OHMSS and it remains, for me, the very best of the Bonds.

His Universal Soldier film has popped up on a few DVD-R sites and is one I keep meaning to get.

It's a shame MGM saw fit to fire him after OHMSS, as they were desperate to get Connery back.

I believe that Stoner would've been a Lazenby/Bruce Lee collab and it's a fun film - especially in it's full version, and makes me wonder what other films they may have made together - it boggles the mind!

Oh, and MPM74, you gotta watch all of Death Dimension - it's great, cheesy fun!!

[DiP]

No love for Dalton? His turn remains one of favorite Bonds', along with Craig. To me, he did a better job than Moore and Brosnan.

[shukocarl]

No love for Dalton? His turn remains one of favorite Bonds', along with Craig. To me, he did a better job than Moore and Brosnan.
Timothy Dalton IS the Ian Fleming/Literary version of 007 it's a pity his tenure only lasted for two films and George Lazenby was absolutely fantastic as a beginning actor, he had big shoes to fill.
You have to love Roger for his interpertation even if some of his movies are dumb, his best being FOR YOUR EYES ONLY with LIVE AND LET DIE/SPY WHO LOVED ME tying for 2nd place in his films.
Daniel Craig is good....but he isn't the same character....he's a reinvented Bond...new history completely.

As a matter of curiousity, Markgway, what's your take on the other (non-franchise) Bond films?:ooh: (For those not in the know, they are the 1954 TV version of Casino Royale, the 1967 comedy version of CR and 1983's Never Say Never Again!)

[teako170]

No love for Dalton? His turn remains one of favorite Bonds', along with Craig. To me, he did a better job than Moore and Brosnan.

I think its who you grow up with that makes the perfect Bond. For me, in the 70s, it was Moore. For those older than me, they usually go with Connery. I really liked Pierce Brosnan and wished he stayed on. His "Goldeneye" flick is my second fave -- after "Live & Let Die."

Dalton & Craig just don't cut the mustard (for me) but to each his own. :xd:

[mpm74]

I think Never Say Never again could have pulled off being a good movie, despite being unofficial.

It's missing a pre-credit scene and some Bond-type music (I know they couldn't use the theme, but even some John Barry-type stuff would have helped it out). I heard they actually had a gun-barrel sequence but was cut out, due to the obvious. And John Barry was going to do the soundtrack, but backed out due to his loyalty to EON productions.

The thing about Bond flicks is their formula just works for them. There's always something to look forward to. Whether it be the theme, the gadgets, the women, the performances or whatever. Even the suckiest Bond flick is a showcase of entertainment (the official ones, that is).

Soundtrack is so important. Imagine Game of Death without John Barry's score.

[mpm74]

Markgway:

For not being a "fan" you seem to be very knowledgeable about 007 flicks. Usually the non-fans can't tell certain ones apart for eachother.

ie "I like that song that duran duran did for For Your Eyes Only!"

[Fang Shih-yu]

I think Never Say Never again could have pulled off being a good movie, despite being unofficial.Definitely! Klaus Maria Brandauer was excellent as Largo; if he hadn't done NSNA, he might have been cast in one the "legit" Bond movies! That guy would've given Roger Moore a run for his money, in terms of charisma!

Even the suckiest Bond flick is a showcase of entertainment (the official ones, that is).If everyone can agree that A View to a Kill is the lowpoint in the Bonds (as well as the least of the Moore run), we can also say there's some great stunts, Christopher Walken as the bad guy, the ladies (Tanya Roberts and Grace Jones, though some debate about either of them) and Duran Duran's theme song!

Soundtrack is so important. Imagine Game of Death without John Barry's score.Having seen the movie, I'd rather imagine it the other way around!:tongue:

[dionbrother]

I am a fan of Timothy Dalton and wish they'd given him the stylistic reboot a'la Craig's debut in CASINO ROYALE. He was doing the Bond of the novels with the crew that made A VIEW TO A KILL and OCTOPUSSY.

Brosnan's my least favorite. Will never watch any of his 007s a second time. Flat plots, smug attitude and just ugly, dull movies. It's like they couldn't decide whether to go Moore or Connery with him and pleased fans of neither.

Lazenby was blacklisted for quitting the series. Thus he couldn't get any Hollywood work and to toil in HK and Italy. But he's really good in those foreign productions, especially that giallo he did.

[mpm74]

Fang Shih-yu: Totally agree about Klaus Maria Brandauer!

dionbrother: I feel the same about Lazenby; and I agree with Brosnan, but I think it was more of the direction they gave him and the shitty movies he had to work with.

It’s funny we’re talking about BOND, I just got this in the mail.

http://www.cityonfire.com/ShawDVDCovers/007.jpg

I hope thing clear up, because the last two bonds have been the best (especially CR) in a long time. A nice change of pace from the Brosnan flicks..

[Markgway]

Casino Royale 1967 is crap - an unfunny spoof that should not be mentioned in the same breath as the official series

Never Say Never Again is a pointless, poor-man's remake of Thunderball. Connery did this for the cash and paid the price (the far superior Octopussy kicked it's ass at the box office).

[Markgway]

Markgway:

I said I AM a fan.

I just don't rate the 70s entries.

[Markgway]

A View to a Kill isn't one of the best (I like Moore as a performer, really I do, but he was too old for this one), but even so I prefer it to the 70s films. Christopher Walken is a great bad guy. He doesn't have any gimmicks, it's just his charisma that steals the show. Good stunts (mostly) and great John Barry music and Duran Duran theme song. I agree the women were really weak here. I just don't find Grace Jones attractive at all and although I'd pork Tanya Roberts she can't act.

[mpm74]

MarkG.... sorry about that, I read one of your posts wrong. =D And yes, I'd pork the bacon out of Tanya Roberts (back then).

That's exactly what it is and the single tear represents his feelings about todays HK cinema.... well, actually it represents MY feelings about todays HK cinema

That tear is MY feelings for today's cinema. Period.

[Fang Shih-yu]

A View to a Kill isn't one of the best (I like Moore as a performer, really I do, but he was too old for this one), but even so I prefer it to the 70s films.I recall reading accounts where people were starting to sense a particular slide with Roger Moore's Bond with Moonraker. Next, For Your Eyes Only came back to Earth and fared a bit better, but there was still the talk. Then, Octopussy followed with (arguably) an even better story and performed great, thanks in part to its "competition", Never Say Never Again! It seemed like Moore's Bond regained vitality (Maud Adams had that effect on many a guy, once upon a time!:kiss:) despite aspects of his on-screen prescence; thusly, the box office dictated Moore should come back for another, and so he did. From there, the missteps began to flow like water.... If the producers could've even gotten Pierce Brosnan then, not even he bring life to the uneven script! Moore should've bowed out with Octopussy, no doubt about it!:wink:

[mpm74]

That reminds me...

My favorite 6 BOND WOMEN: (in order)

Eva Green
Jane Seymour
Olga Kurylenko
Shirley Eaton
Claudine Auger
Rosamund Pike

Most of these chicks are for the "looks" department, with the exception of EVA GREEN who, in my opinion, is the ultimate Bond girl! She nearly steals the show in every department.


And for the record, worse Bond girl: Halle Berry. She has this awful look on her face most of the time. Denise Richards comes in next.

[mpm74]

To me, GOLDENEYE is overrated. What am I missing with that movie? Could someone explain?

If I had to pick one cool Brosnan film, it would probably be TOMORROW NEVER DIES. Even though DIE ANOTHER DAY was as campy as MOONRAKER, I still enjoyed it.

[Markgway]

(Alphabetical)

Hottest Bond Girls:

Claudine Auger
Eva Green
Olga Kurylenko
Sophie Marceau
Izabella Scorupco
Akiko Wakabayashi

Coldest Bond Girls:

Halle Berry
Britt Ekland
Gloria Hendry
Grace Jones
Denise Richards
Angela Scoular
Jill St.John

I know that's seven but I couldn't decide which one to leave off...

[dionbrother]

Although DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER is a bad movie, Jill St. John's body is the best thing about it, other than a great looking-for-Blofeld opener.

[dionbrother]

Tom's script for Batman summarized. Oddly, sounds like he took the Dark Knight seriously, unlike 007.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/mediageek/news/?a=21031

[Karlos]

There's something I just love about DIAMONDS... - MPM74's assessment that it's the Bond movie Tarantino never made tickled me - it's so true!

Connery's best for me was YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE - the Japanese locales play a big part in that, no doubt!

The only ones I cannot stand are VIEW TO A KILL (Nothijg about it works), MOONRAKER (just horrible -awful, cheap, would-be Star Wars rip-off that has no similarities to the book) and, if memory serves, THUNDERBALL.

And great link to the Batman script, Dion! For the most part it is an excellent script, although it clearly falls apart at the end.

I get the impression that, for whatever reason, Mankiewicz liked to camp his superheroes up – it’s as if he ultimately can’t take them seriouusly.

[TibetanWhiteCrane]

That tear is MY feelings for today's cinema. Period.

Yeah, you're right:smile:

Ok, hottest Bond babes....

Im gonna forego the main girls, as I thought some of the "side dishes" were way more appealing:tongue:

Lana Wood: What an appropriate last name.... can't go wrong with a busty brunette! Plenty O'Toole... more like Plenty O'Tit!

Caroline Munro: She was so much hotter than Barbara Bach in TSWLM. Something about a bad girl in a bikini, trying to kill you!

Aliza Gur & Martine Beswick: Not usually a big fan of girl on girl action. But those two swarthy gypsy chicks, could wraaassle over me, any day of the week!

Luciana Paluzzi: I know she's a ginger, and therefor has no soul. But she has nice boobs! Though Claudine Auger and Martine Beswick gave her some good competition in TB!

Man, I could do this all day. Better stop now, before I become aroused:neutral:

[mpm74]

The only ones I cannot stand are VIEW TO A KILL (Nothijg about it works), MOONRAKER (just horrible -awful, cheap, would-be Star Wars rip-off that has no similarities to the book) and, if memory serves, THUNDERBALL.

THUNDERBALL I always hated. It was a bore to me. The underwater sequences were dull. Very long and just ugh....

HOWEVER, I re-watched it a few months ago and now it's one of my favorites. There's some good stuff in there, just look past all the boring 'water' crap. You should give it a 2nd chance. =D

[Karlos]

Really? That's interesting - OK, I'll give it another chance - thanks, bro!!

I've been picking the Bonds up lately, on eBay - man, those things are cheap on there - I've been getting the recent 2 disc editions and the extras are just fantastic.

Thunderball has just gone on my wants list!!

[TibetanWhiteCrane]

I like Thunderball. But then again, I like underwater stuff. Though some of them in TB could and should have been trimmed!

[dionbrother]

A few years ago, I was able to watch THUNDERBALL at a midnight movie screening. It holds up better on the big screen (hell, I'm sure they all do), but the last half hour has about 15 minutes too much of the scuba diving and some laughable rear-screen projection FX in the finale on the boat. If you adjust for today's grosses, THUNDERBALL may still be the most successful 007 movie of all.

The young Martine Beswicke would top my list of Bond women for her different roles in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (catfighting gypsy) and THUNDERBALL.

[teako170]

Fell asleep watching "Octopussy" last night. No, not that the movie is bad - I'm just getting old. :squigglemouth:

I have this set at home. Would like to do a Bond marathon one month and watch them all.

Also have this glossy 35pp magazine called "For Your Eyes Only." Anyone else have? Each page breakdowns one film and does a comparison for "Best One-Liner," "Q's Gadget," "Stupidly Named Bond Girl," "Elaborate Death," etc.... If I wasn't in the middle of moving and have everything packed away, I'd scan it for you guys.

[mpm74]

Fell asleep watching "Octopussy" last night. No, not that the movie is bad - I'm just getting old.

I hear ya! lol the only time I don't fall asleep watching a movie is when I'm 1) Using a treadmill while watching it or 2) At the theatres.

I didn't like Octopussy as much as I thought I remembered. But still pretty good. Much better than A View To A Kill. James Bond should never ever wear a clown suit! Great opening. It's holds up well.

[Markgway]

Although DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER is a bad movie, Jill St. John's body is the best thing about it, other than a great looking-for-Blofeld opener.

She did nothing for me.

The opening is well done but inappropriate after the end of OHMSS.

He's having too good a time hunting for his wife's killer.

Agreed. If they cut 15-20 mins out of the film it would be terrific.

[mpm74]

He's having too good a time hunting for his wife's killer.

LMAO! That's sooooo true, man. But he's Bond. ;) I think Sean Connery's Bond is the ONLY Bond who would have a good time hunting for his wife's killer.

=D

[Coliseum1972]

-best movie OHMSS

-best girl Tracy (well hello there mrs Peel :wink:

-best Bond Connery or Dalton

-best Blofeld......Savalas

I really dig AVTAK , despite the flaws......Walken is def a plus (was great seeing the man on stage in NY , something I never imagined would happen)

DAF......I like the charm and the one liners
LALD.......voodoo Bond , plot not the greatest but fun......Kotto was pretty good and Jane is yowza....lol
TMWTGG.......one of my least favorites , besides Brosnan era (GoldenEye was decent)

[Markgway]

Caught the last half hour of Live and Let Die on TV yesterday.

Kotto actually came across as a pretty good villain... though I wasn't keen on all the voodoo shit. Funny how all the bad guys are black but the hero and heroine are white... lol

And Jane Seymour.... damn, I'd forgotten how fuckable she was. :kiss:

Same here!

To be honest, I enjoyed a lot of it, although, as you say, it looks worrying racist - every single black person in it is villainous.

Interestingly, I'm sure Moore's clothes at the end were the same as Shafts in one of his films!

[loempiavreter]

I like the pulpy henchmen of the Roger Moore movies. Roger Moore had the best selection suits of all the bonds as well.

But personally I think Harry Palmer (A young Michael Caine) looked had more of a cool-factor then any of the bonds, he lacks the pulpy henchmen of James bond series though. Still I can enjoy Harry Palmer spy series of movies (haven't read the books though).
http://www.virginmedia.com/images/caineipcress75.jpg

Think that's where Austin Powers gets the glasses from (and the swinging london background, although he has more the cool factor from the french nouvelle vague movies that inspired the early mods for Ivy clobber rather then the commercial end of swining london) from.

[dionbrother]

I suspect Austin Powers is also highly influenced by JASON KING and David Hemmings in BLOWUP.

[Markgway]

I suspect Austin Powers is also highly influenced by JASON KING and David Hemmings in BLOWUP.

Definitely.

Jason King was the protoype Powers.

The guy everyone thought was super hip and sexy but looked and sounded nothing like anyone's idea of a real hero.

The photographer element was Blow Up.

[loempiavreter]

Definitely.

Jason King was the protoype Powers.

The guy everyone thought was super hip and sexy but looked and sounded nothing like anyone's idea of a real hero.

The photographer element was Blow Up.

Yeah ok but Jason King was more 70s smoovie style with the penny collars and such, but your probably right. My father kinda looks like Peter Wyngarde, he had many women so yeah kinda same effect :squigglemouth:

Same for Jean-Paul Belmondo.

[mpm74]

And Jane Seymour.... damn, I'd forgotten how fuckable she was.

Understatement, my friend.

I gotta get me a set of cow bells, so I can reenact the sound of the Spy Who Loved Me's OST...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaEU_A405zA

[Markgway]

At least it's better than Bill Conti's FYEO score... lol

[teako170]

To be honest, I enjoyed a lot of it, although, as you say, it looks worrying racist - every single black person in it is villainous.

Not quite. While it was spoofing the Blaxploitation films of the time, there were also good black characters such as Roy Stewart (Quarrel Jr.), Lon Satton (CIA Agent Harold Strutter) and Gloria Hendry (Agent Rosie Carver). Ok, maybe Rosie is only "half-good" as she did play a double agent. :xd:

Fair enough.

As I said before, however, I only caught the last half an hour or so, and during that time every black character was evil!

[mpm74]

Is it me, or does Jane Seymour the best she ever did in LIVE AND LET DIE? lol I know her age might be a factor in later-later years, but even stuff that she made a little after LALD, kinda so so...

(but then again, style's, especially females' were a lot more 'proper' in the late 60's/early 70s. Just compare Nora Miao in Way of the Dragon to Bruce Le's Deadly Fingers... styles do play a part.)

What the fuck am I talking about?
