Why is Nick Nack pissed off with Bond? I know the fun house was blown up, but it's not like Scaramanga would've kept his earnings underneath his matress. He would've kept it in a bank somewhere, so Nick Nack would still get his inheritance. Or did he consider Scaramanga a friend and he is trying to avenge his boss's death?

How would he get Scaramanga's money out of the bank?

Good point.

Easy, he would get a short-term loan!

Nick Nack ended up in a suitcase tied to a mast of a ship at the end of the film but question is, did Bond eventually bring him down? Isn't it odd that you never see any of the villain's henchmen that make it to the end of the film actually arrested.

On the subject of the recent Anthony Hopkins post, from the same correspondent to the Answers to Correspondents section I read from Barry McCann's piece that "It is true that Anthony Hopkins was courted to play the baddies in 'GoldenEye' and 'Tomorrow Never Dies' but he had previously been shortlisted to play businessman Sir Henry Lee Ching alongside Whoopi Goldberg as his henchwoman Ronin, in what would have been Timothy Dalton's third Bond film. Unfortunately production was stalled due to a legal dispute between the producers and the backing studio MGM/UA. By the time this was resolved, the script was considered to have lost its currency and Dalton's contract had expired. GoldenEye and Pierce Brosnan replaced them." Now I didn't know that.

You see Georgi Koskov get arrested at the end of The Living Daylights and Miss Taro in Dr No, when Bond arranges for a 'taxi'to pick them up but Superintendant Duff arrives instead.

"Be careful of her nail varnish!"

Rumours are abounding about which women will be the next Bond girls. Margot Robbie has been mentioned and Emma Watson but I doubt it will be those two and more likely to be women we've not seen before or even new ones not seen before. I must say though with Robbie's penchant for losing her clothes she would make a very sexy Bond girl. Emma Watson? not sure, you never know what role she might be offered but the main girl, I doubt it.

Does anyone have a favourite music cue or soundtrack? My favourite soundtrack is OHMSS, without a doubt! My favourite cue is Bond Back In Action from Goldfinger. I get the biggest thrill listening at the 1:06 mark, when the Bond theme kicks in. It's adrenaline pumping and exciting.

I liked Into Vienna from 'The Living Daylights' soundtrack CD(which I think was the orchestral version of If There Was Man-by Chrissie Hynde) and '007' theme from O.H.M.S.S. before the great ski/bobsleigh chase. For Christmas I got the new James Bond collection CD which has a lot of good tracks on it. I suppose a lot of people like the suspenseful one for 'You Only Live Twice' when the spacecraft swallows the US & Russian spacecraft in space.

**JK2001** · August 4th, 2016, 09:30 PM

I liked the bobsled chase music cue from OHMSS too. Not sure why it wasn't used in the final cut of the film.

I like '007 And Counting' from Diamonds Are Forever. The sequence in the movie has some terrible special effects, but the music is awesome.
