What Could Have Been ...

Hi all,

I've designed this thread so that people can chip in with interesting ideas that were ultimately dropped from Bond films.

E.g. Did you know that an original draft of AVTOK had zorin manipulating the trajectory of Haley's comet?

And did you know that originally DAF was to feature Gert Frobe as Goldfinger's brother? His first line was to have been: "I think you knew my brother Auric. Mother always said he was a bit retarded"

Weird huh?

Ahnold

you sure about that last phrase? 😑

Amusingly, yes...

weird sounds more suited 😑

Well I said weird in my first post...

Um, anyway, have you got any interesting trivia to share with us, o great yerssot?

oh perfect ahnold... interesting trivia is also posted in the Bond FunFacts 😛

Hmmm... perfect. I like that 😄

Hem hem. Sorry. Zoned out there for a bit. Ego trip over.

But The FunFacts thread can refer a lot of things, yerssot. Would you care to make a specific contribution to THIS thread?

I know of a deleted scene in Dr No where Honey Rider got attacked by crabs 😖

Sammy Davis Jr. appeared as himself in DAF, but his scenes were cut...

Felix has been played by many different actors but only one did him twice

I am somewhat surprised by the inconsistensy in Felix. E.g. in one incarnation {in "Goldfinger"} he was played by an old man. In another, strangely enough, he was even played by an African-American. It's just weird.

Anyway, does anyone have some thoughts on what COULD have been?

it supports the theory that Felix is a codename for the agent that keeps contact with Mi6...

and could? they could have kept the story in that Goldfinger is related to SPECTRE (apperently you see in one shot his spectre-ring), guess that got kicked too

what's the difference of this thread and the Funfacts one?

this is more of what could have happened... I think

That's correct. E.g. Please include concepts that were scrapped, ideas that were dropped, scenes that were cut, that sort of thing...

oooh, I know one... they weren't having Q in FRWL, cause they didn't feel it needed

Erm... Q WAS in FRWL. Don't you mean LALD?

Tsk tsk... you're slipping, my boy...

I ment as in the idea to cut him out 😛

Sure, sure...

don't believe me 🙁

what about writers including in the first draft of OHMSS a reason to why bond looks differently?
