What Could Have Been ...

I'll assume that was a joke at Lazenby's expense. Oh yerss, why do you dislike him so?

he's a terribly bond; what more can I say 😛

I don't think that's entirely fair. James Bond as a character is just, well, different, in OHMSS. Lazenby was at least more believable than Moore, if a lot less fun...

he looks ugly, he acts terrible and OHMSS is terrible ... though the point of bond being married once is great

I don't agree with you about his acting, but I too am always left quite cold by OHMSS. I can't quite put my finger on it...

Anyway, back to the topic. Did you know that Major Amasova from TSWLM was originally going to cameo in Moonraker, so impressed were the producers by her performance...

Wonder why that never materialised...

LMFAO ROTF You seriously think that, Ahnold? You have a serious screw loose, bro. Lazenby was a terrible Bond. Bond is English, Lazenby is Australian. Whoever choose him had problems. This is why, despite the movie having a good plot with Blofeld as the main foe, is the one of the worse Bond films in history IMO. A total miscast with Lazenby.

that girl playing melina in FYEO was asked earlier too but she couldn't cause of another movie

(and I agree with RA... terrible and not the same style as Sean)

Look... I don't think it's fair to say I have a "screw loose". I'm perfectly entitled to have an opinion that differs from yours. I happen to think Lazeny was a good bond. If you don't, fine. But c'mon - do you really believe Roger Moore and his eyebrow were more believable as the James Bond of the novels?

Oh, and I realise that Lazenby was australian. But Connery was scottish {which is how he played Bond, as in every single movie he's even been in. I laughed so much in "The Hunt For Red October: "To victory, comradeshhh..."}

Moore was better than Lazenby imo 😖

I agree with you. I much prefer Moore. BUT - I still think he was less believable as the Bond from the novels...

Bond isn't as serious as you may think. He has a humorous side. Moore filled that void where Sean couldn't. I still say that Sean was the better Bond. He's #1, Moore #2, Bronsan #3, Dalton #4...etc.

and imo, Moore totally overdid the humor side of it

The usual OHMSS bashing I see...thankfully I don't run with the herd. Eventually, when some loser with the ability to put together more than three words together in a sentance and writes for some *popular* 'zine read by spotty faced fanboys starts to ring it's praises, it'll be *Duh...oh yeah...I love that one too...*

hey! I get well payed mister 😛

you're right, lets get back ontopic 🙁

To be honest, though, Moore was smart enough to realise how ridiculous some of his films were. I mean, gondolas that turn into hovercrafts? Pigeons doing double takes? Tarzan yells? It's just a bit much...

Anyway, back on topic. Did you know that one of Hector Gonzalas' entourage of women in for your eyes only was born Barry, a man?

then how come LALD isn't like that? 😛

I believe that was an urban legend, I'll look it up 😄

yeah, it's true, always thought it was a myth

It's absolutely true, yeah. Most people think it's a myth as they don't realise what an insignificant part "barry" plays in the film...

Hmmm... I've unknowingly deviated from the purpose of this thread. To get back on track: Did you know that an original draft of TSWLM featured the villains offing SPECTRE and Blofeld at the start?
