Can anyone help me. I'm looking for the title of the movie that opens with Bond flying a small airplane, and flies it through a building to lure in his pursuant, then needs to land for fuel and says to the station attendant, "Fill it up." The details are a little foggy, but I'm sure someone knows the movie I'm thinking about.
Thanks.

The Man With the Golden Gun,

he impersonates as Torres ("what a name full of ..."wink wink

bond fan
Thanks a mill!

yerssot
that's ok; hope you like the movie smile

Evy_O
I admit in shame that I didn't remember that *hides behind random person* bag

yerssot
evy... it's a pre-title sequence, you can't guess those messed

Evy_O
what's that? I don't recognise the english term sad

yerssot
those little sequences before the "real" movie starts, they aren't that easily related to the story messed

Evy_O
ooooh... and how did you know?

Ahnold
Huh??? It's not "TMWTGG"! It's Octopussy!

yerssot
*smacks forhead* I knew this! ARGH
TMWTGG starts with a dude getting shot by scaramanga as a game sad

this stupid mistake makes me feel so dirty and making me look (more) dumb sad
I'm dumbening!...wait... dumbening isn't even word sad

Ahnold
Oh no!!! And now that guy has gone to watch "TMWTGG" instead of the FAR superior "Octopussy" fear

Only joking - don't worry about it yerss! Fear not - your reputation remains intact!

For now stick out tongue ...

yerssot
I had a reputation? blink

actually, TMWTGG is better than Octo, cause they have Lee in it stick out tongue

Ahnold
True - but Octopussy has a better stroyline, better action, less embarassing jokes, no J W Peppah etc ...

yerssot
hmm, true in that view... had a 00 dying, which is always a good thing, but some parts were rather dull sad

Ahnold
The plot IS a bit confusing, yeah ... but then again, I didn't wince in embarassment as much while sitting through "Octopussy" {well, except for that Tarzan yell bit ... what was THAT all about?}

yerssot
well, bond stories aren't known for having a GOOD plot (after a few perhaps) or having a CLEAR plot wink

Ahnold
I pretty much understand all the Bond plots ... EXCEPT for "Octopussy" {something about jewel smuggling and a bomb?!} One of the most non-sensical plots, though, has to be OHMSS: Blofeld is holding the world to ransom with biological weapons - and all he asks for is a pardon for his past crimes, and that his title of count be recognised ... WHAT? Quite a step down after trying to take over the world in the previous film ...

yerssot
perhaps he would gain new advantages when being a count? messed

The Redeemer
laughing out loud And there's me looking for a new sig!!! eek!

yerssot
it's still the old one confused

The Redeemer
Tomorrow... shifty

yerssot
that's in 1hour 45minutes wink

The Redeemer
You just can't wait, can ya??? stick out tongue

yerssot
I'm a curious little boy wink

The Redeemer
That has gotta be THE understatement of the JB fourms...EVER!!! laughing out loud

yerssot
lets record it stick out tongue

The Redeemer
Stick it on MP3 and send it to me, old boy...

yerssot
but then you know my voice ninja

The Redeemer
The voice of Ernst Stavros Blofeld... smokin'

yerssot
I can actually do an ok-ish impression of him shifty

Ahnold
Well there HAVE been 5 Blofelds - which one in particular can you imitate yerss?

yerssot
I think it's the one from thunderball

Evy_O
Blofeld makes his first appearance in YOLT confused Thunderball has Emilio Largo

perhaps you mean

"James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assasinated in Hong Kong".

yerssot
now even evy knows I'm wrong... this is so depressing stick out tongue

gotta pay more attention again, yes I ment YOLT, sorry messed

The Redeemer
Five..that many??? Discounting Mr Von Sydow in the CANONless NSNA, there are only THREE... confused

yerssot
and donald for being a good guy too wink

Ahnold
Fair enough - if you discount Von Sydow, that leaves 4: Eric Pohlmann {the voice of Blofeld in "FRWL" and "Thunderball"}, Donald Pleasance, Telly Savalas, and Charles Gray. So ... four.

Ahnold
We see Blofeld's FACE for the first time in that film, yes - but the character previously appeared in "FRWL" and "Thunderball" ...

yerssot
but she's right, I ment the phrase smile

The Redeemer
What phrase was that??? blink

yerssot
"Allow me to introduce myself... I am ... Ernst....Stavro ... Blofeld"

Evy_O
I have that sound bit on MP3 eek!



that's it! I'm outta here! just coz you can't accept I'm so much better than you schmoll



'appearance' hints for seeing the guy stick out tongue

yerssot
yeah, I wonder how you got it stick out tongue

I just said you were better than me blink

actually... you do seem him, just not his face

Evy_O

hmm.... here: "'appearance' hints for seeing the guy's face"... there, satisfied? big grin

yerssot

Evy_O

I can't see it wacko

yerssot

Evy_O
and I even have more sounds now if you wanna stick out tongue

I sure did happy

that's hardly a topic laughing out loud

yerssot

Ahnold

Wait ... the Q has been answered. There is no topic now ...

Let the chaos begin then!!!

yerssot

Reborn Again

Ahnold
Hey man - welcome back!

It's "Octopussy".
