They're at least acknowledging Tanners importance within the main MI6 crew, in that sense he's come along way from the cameos in the Moore and Brosnan eras. People forget that the guy is supposed to be one of Bond's best friends and most loyal supporter at MI6.
 
I actually never realized Tanner was an old Bond character. I thought he was just a new character in the Craig movies.
 
Huh? They had his character in the Brosnan movies certainly.

That's not too surprising. He had a non-speaking role in TMWTGG, and then sort of filled in for M with a minister during the briefing scene of FYEO when Robert Lee was too sick to appear. After that he was absent in the films until GoldenEye, where he gets chewed out by M. I think he has a small role in TWINE talking about Renard, but was mostly absent.

They really under-utilised him in the film's until Craig's era made him more prominent.

Bernard Lee. Robert Brown.

Bernard Lee died before FYEO.
 
He and Robinson (Colin Salmon's character who essentially fills much the same role) both appear in DAD I believe. But yeah, he's been a much more consistent presence throughout the Craig era, which I like. Yeah he never gets a ton to do, but he's just one of those "familiar" faces outside of the "Big Four" of Bond, M, Q, and Moneypenny, so I like seeing him show up in these films.
 

Music that doesn't even remotely fit the tone of the scene, like not even a little. At least the Moore films tended to get that right about their "comedic chases."

(Cue Benny Hill theme)
 
Meanwhile Bats v Supes will have made more than that before the end of next week.
 
was that ACTUALLY in the move that whistle sound fx?


Yes. John Barry regretted it after the movie was released


Besides, in his previous Bond score, The Man with the Golden Gun, Barry regretted setting the mid-air spiralling of Bond’s car over a river to the silly sound of a slide whistle. As he explained,
“I just took the liberty of poking fun at it. It made a mockery of Bond, looking back on it. Even Cubby didn’t like that.”
Heck Roger Moore's went into the whole thing in a non serious manner.

Basically "How could you EVER take this character seriously?"


No one took Bond seriously back then.
 
People like to say Mike Myers clowned on Bond and spy pictures. Roger Moore and the top brass did it first.

:o
 
Did we ever find out how much time has passed from the end of Skyfall to the start of Spectre when he's in Mexico?

No. But it seems like a short time. Few months. I mean the old wreck of MI6 HQ is still there.
 
I'm thinking like maybe a month, maybe two at most. Moneypenny talks about how they just had gone through the rubble of Skyfall manor, which couldn't have taken that long.
 
'Bond '77' - that's my favourite John Barry/Moore film chase track.
 
I watched CR and QoS back to back the other day and by the end of it I was rendered depressed at how poor SF and SP are in comparison. The first 2 Craig Bonds are excellent, the last 2 are just *facepalm*

In other words, your favorite John Barry track is one not by John Barry. :o

Marvin Hamlisch did the score for TSWLM.

Roger Moore's 007 was sort of a family tradition for the Myers family when he was a kid.
