only those? you miss out on all the other countries that shall tremble when yuo are the worldleader
as very first... I wouldn't know, but they were the very first to include very sexualy colored scenes. The Honeyrider one was for the time being over the top and that other girl doing her stockings off was even considered being cut cause it was so indecent
Well hey ... what did you expect? Since I haven't been here in months, I HAVE to bump up some of these posts! Apologies for dragging up old issues like this one, but I'd like to lay some of them to rest at last ...
Ah, of course - how could I forget my planned, eventual world domination {which you're not really supposed to know about, so keep it under your hat from now on, eh }? Tremble before me oh lowly KMC mortals !!!
{Pause}
{Quietly} Please tremble before me. Pretty please ?
And that's interesting about the way that JB effectively changed cinema in terms of moviemakers' attitudes to sex. Cheers for that, yerss ...

It appears that finally - 18 months after this query was first posted by myself - this thread can finally be put to bed. For it appears that our forum's very own fountain of knowledge - the one and only, good ol' reliable yerssot - has come up with an answer {or at least a partial one} ! I hope he won't mind me doing this, but for the sake of anyone who was wondering about this issue like I did, I am reproducing below the answer to this long-standing query that was posted by yerssot to another thread {the "Why Didn't Bond Go After Irma Bunt?" one ... gosh, talk about being on the same wavelength }:
Geez yerss - I wish you would've posted that response to this thread, even if you DID only discover this information recently. Would have certainly saved me a lot of unnecessary curiosity . But well done on finally finding out this information. Kudos to you, sir; kudos ...

Though yerssot has done an excellent job, I suppose that we will never find out the full answer to this question; after all, the actress playing Bunt {Ilse Steppat} died so soon after "OHMSS" was released that the producers couldn't have possibly had time to come up with a fully formed plot outline for "DAF" that included Bunt. And it makes perfect sense, given what yerssot has said, for them not to recast the role. Aside from perhaps not doing so as a mark of respect to Mrs. Steppat, re-casting the role might well have confused viewers, especially if Bunt would have only made a brief appearance in "DAF"; bearing in mind that most viewers were proabably not that familiar with the character anyway, casting another actress in the role would've just meant more time wasted explaining just who this woman is ...
It makes you think, though - wouldn't it have been strange to see Irma Bunt disposed of so unceremoniously within the first five minutes of "DAF", as yerssot suggests the case would have been? I mean, c'mon - this is the woman who murdered James Bond's wife ! They surely couldn't let her off the hook so easily! Had the actress still been alive, they really should have kept her on as a major villaness for "DAF" as well ...
As it stands, though, Bunt's absence from "DAF" only serves to increase her notoriety. After all, she's not only the woman who murdered James Bond's wife, but the person who got away with it too. And for that reason, she'll always have an enduring legacy; yes sireee - no stoopid death by chimney stack for THIS member of SPECTRE ...

Well, I think if you ask the casual Bond-observer about who killed his wife, they'll alway say Spectre... The possibility that regular viewers wouldn't get why he wants to kill that woman are high and possibly after her dieing in RL they just thought it wasn't worth the effort to make anything out of it and just let it go and focus on Blofeld again? The main, big, bald villain?
I can do quivering from the cold but that's about it
Thanks, I just ripped it off the DVDs but I'll gladly take credit for it
well, I do need to have some tidbits that will make you come back again and again to check up on things
