If I remember, the line is :
" I didn't know there was a pool down there "
But perhaps my mistake..


A new and short line everybody remember :

Well I try to be as accurate as I remember, as it is all from memory so if there are any mistakes then please feel free to correct them.
On another subject I have several James Bond 007 games for the Wii including GoldenEye and A Quantum of Solace(also incorporating bits of Casino Royale 06) but I noticed there is a new 007 Legends game released last month-it says for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U(the new hand-held games console) but not for the Wii itself. I have read that it might be compatible with the Wii but it is not conclusive. I might instead try for the PC-CD version instead-but it looks pretty good with 6 missions featuring all 6 Bonds and their voices except Daniel Craig who is voiced by someone called Timothy Watson. Seems daft to me, but then perhaps he wasn't available to do it as with GoldenEye and A Quantum of Solace. Pretty expensive game though.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: George Lazenby.
"This never happened to the other fella!"

Quiz question for you all-George Lazenby only appeared once as James Bond but which film did he have a very small cameo role appearing as 'JB'? Give answer tomorrow if you don't get it today and DON'T CHEAT by using Google!

Gm...i also want to question one of your quotes.......

I seem to recall than when Jill introduces herself as Plenty; Bond actually replied... "Well, of course you are!" again, like you, i am guilty of the odd mistake or just plain daft at times though... may have to go and have a look-see..... lol.

I often thought that it could have been before she may have said it first then he said that line and then added O'Toole, to which he added that next quip. I think however you will find it was Lana Wood not Jill(St.John) mate.

Sorry - a bit off topic from an American and LONG standing Bond fanatic here......but I am so excited about Skyfall that I just had to vent somewhere.

I was introduced to Bond in the early 80's when I was home from school for a week very sick with pneumonia. My father borrowed VHS tapes of all the bond movies released to date at the time from a co-worker and brought them home to me and said - "This is your homework this week." From Dr. No on, I was hooked.

I admit - I'm a Bond purist, and Moore, Dalton and Brosnan left me cold. Hence, it's been a long time since I have been this excited about a Bond movie from the first time I saw Goldfinger or From Russia with Love. But Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig and Judi Dench flat out nail it with Skyfall. The respect they pay to the originals, the storyline, the cinematography, the humor and the humanity of it all is so incredibly rich.

I have seen it once this past weekend and plan on taking my father, the one that started my obsession, to see it again this forthcoming weekend when he is visiting. What better way to commemorate the 50th Anniversary!

Thanks for letting me vent, gents.

Cheers,

CD

I'm not sure if you wanted the answer PM'd to you, since someone might see a post with the answer before seeing your question, so that they wouldn't have a chance to exercise the little grey cells. Anyway, Lazenby's cameo as "JB" (the initials were on his license plate) was in a TV movie that was a failed attempt to revive a popular TV show of the mid 1960s. I'll mention that it had a subtitle: "The Fifteen Years Later Affair" (unless it was "The Fifteen Years After Affair"), and I'll spell the main title backwards, omitting periods, so that a casual glance won't give it away:

ELCUN morF naM eht fo nruteR

As I recall, Lazenby was making Bondesque quips during his few minutes on camera, though the only one I remember is him blasting away at some of the bad guys, who scatter, at which he says something like, "They're shaken, not stirred."

I remember at the time thinking that Gayle Hunnicutt being in the cast gave her the distinction of having played in a popular secret agent franchise in addition to having played opposite two famous detectives (with Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes as Irene Adler, and with James Garner's Philip Marlowe in Marlowe, based on The Little Sister -- she played the big sister), and also opposite Simon Templar, a.k.a. The Saint, who's not a detective, but is righter of wrongs. She wasn't in Roger Moore's Saint, however, but the revived TV series, Return of the Saint. in which Templar was played by an actor named Ogilve, or something like that. She was a serious babe thirty-some years ago, and I hope the years have been kind.

P.S. I see that I took so long writing this posting that Hugohackenbush answered the question before me. Congratulations, sir. Have a virtual cigar.

Of Course, it was " the return of the man from UNCLE ", ( The Fifteen Years Later Affair ). In 80 / 83.
George drive the DB5, and come to rescue Napoleon Solo ( Vaughn ) and a russian girl ( ) played by Gayle Hunnicutt. ( David Mc Callum was not in that part of the TV play )
I saw him once, at the time on TV, and it was very fun to see again Lazenby / Bond.
Since 69 I am a defender of OHMSS !!!!!!!
When bad guys trying to kill Solo and daughter in a car chase, Lazenby uses the DB 5 rockets and everything.
When finaly Lazenby and Vaughn cross by car, they are a sign, of course, which would tend to say that they are old friends.

During the action, we hear a music, a kind of Bond theme, but not the Bond Theme. ( a bad music, to be honest )
When Gayle saw the plaque od the DB5 ( JB ) she said, with tears of happiness "JB as James Bond in On her Majesty's secret service"!

I also remember that when all is done, the wicked dead, the DB5 rotates in a street (in NY ?) Where you can see a banner with an inscription in honor of Lazenby, a wish for his return to the role of style "give him to us again" or something like that.
The prod was fan from OHMSS, no doubt !

And if my memory is correct, the scene ends with a plan with Vaughn said something like "It was the good old days" ....

And I remember Patrick Mcnee, Anthony zerbe and perhaps Geoffrey Lewis... But not sure for the last one, cause I tell you that without Google ! By memory, as you want, Greenman.

Now I post, and go on Google to see if there's not too must mistake here !

In Thunderball, Bond (Connery) and the Bond girl go underwater wearing aqualungs, then dive down out of the frame and a lot of bubbles are seen rising up. Afterwards, they come out of the water, and Connery says, "I hope we didn't scare the fish."

Right after that, the gal steps on some narsty form of marine life with poison spines which stick in her foot. Bond pulls the spines out of her foot with his teeth, then says another line that somehow got by the censores (that's a typo, but I kinda like it . . .), "I've never eaten a girl before. They're quite good."

The scene with the spines is in the novel, but I don't think the quip is. (IIRC -- of course, it's been nearly fifty years since I read the book.)

Pierce Brosnan's Bond also has his share of quips, which IMDB has helped me remember. From GoldenEye:
Miss Moneypenny: You know, this sort of behaviour could qualify as sexual harassment.
James Bond: Really. What's the penalty for that?
Miss Moneypenny: Someday, you'll have to make good on your innuendos.

A bit later, Bond and one of the Bond girls are out for a drive . . .
Caroline: (Serena Gordon) James, is it really necessary to drive quite so fast?
James Bond: More often than you'd think.
Caroline: I enjoy a spirited ride as much as the next girl, but-- (a car driven by the bad gal overtakes Bond's car, and she is seen smiling at him as she passes) Who's that?
James Bond: The next girl.

From the same drive, I think . . .
Caroline: James, stop this, stop it! I know what you're doing.
James Bond: Really? What's that, dear?
Caroline: You are just trying to show off the size of your, your--
James Bond: Engine?
Caroline: Ego.

Q gets in a quip, telling Bond: Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws.

Then, in Tomorrow Never Dies . . .
James Bond: You were pretty good with that hook.
Wai-Lin (female agent): Thanks. It comes from growing up in a rough neighborhood. You were pretty good on the bike.
James Bond: Thank you. It comes from not growing up at all.

Getting back to Connery, in Goldfinger Bond offs an enemy agent whom he's knocked into a bathtub full of water, but who's going for a gun, by throwing a plugged-in electrical device -- may have been a heater -- into the tub, electrocuting the guy, after which he says something like, "How very shocking." Interestingly, I recall that a magazine (maybe Life or Time; or Look, which was still being published then) published an article about Goldfinger and the writer had Bond delivering the "shocking" line after he electrocuted Oddjob. Never assume that a journalist knows his (or her) ass from his/her elbow.
