You Only Live Twice (1967)

[Neville]

Er... I was kidding. There some decent Bonds after "Live and let die", like "The living Daylights" or "The World is not Enough".

Movies CAN'T "jump the shark", that expression strictly applies to television shows.

I donno...if they become a series, i'd say they can...

You are correct, sir. Charles Gray was in "You Only Live Twice."

As for Blofeld he has been played by Max Von Sydow in "Never Say Never Again," Telly Savalas in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and two actors--Eric Pohlmann and Anthony Dawson--in both "From Russia with Love" and "Thunderball." I am making the presumption, that one appeared as the character, and the other actor voiced the character.

While Bond (Peter Sellers) and Le Chiffre (Orson Welles) faced off over a game of baccarat in the 1967 version of "Casino Royale," rumour has it, that in this version of "Casino Royale," Bond and Le Chiffre will face off over a game of Texas Hold 'Em Poker.

...Or Strip Poker. Working title is "Brokeback Casino". Now, that would be a complete makeover of the series...

OK, someone really should be shot for that if it's true.

The Ernst Blofeld character in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE must have been the film that AUSTIN POWER Doctor Evil was directly "hatched" from.

[plan9superfan]

OK, it goes like this:

-Austin Powers  =  James Bond

-Basil Exposition  =  M

-Dr. Evil  =  Blofeld

-Mr. Biggelsworth  =  Blofeld's cat

-Frau Farbissana  =  Rosa Klebb

-Mini Me  = Knick Knack (from "The Man With the Golden Gun")

-Goldmember  =  Goldfinger

-Random Task  =  Oddjob

-Foxy Cleopatra  = Jinx

-Felicity Shagwell  = Mary Goodnight

-the sharks with friggin laser beams on their friggin heads  =  the sharks from "Moonraker"

-the mutant man-eating tuna fishes = the crocodiles from "Live and Let Die"

-the Union Jack Jaguar   = the Aston Martin

-Alotta Fagina  = Melina Havelock

-Fook Mi and Fook Yu = the Bond girls from "You Only Live Twice"

-Mr. Roboto  = Tiger Tanaka

-the Russian general  =  General Gogol

-Number Two  = Mr. Largo

-Robin Swallows  = p***y Galore

[Scott]

That's a good list plan9superfan. Also don't forget the Bob's Big Boy Scene and the Egg Shaped things.

Just one note: Powers didn't drive a Jaguar, but a Shaguar. Big difference there ;-D
