There were no solid plans for Baron Samedi, but at the time they wanted to use him for another film, but just didn't. Either way, I still think that's cool ending.

Also, if you want to see badass moment from LALD, see my avy. :woot:
 
Wow. It makes you wonder how EON managed to f**k that up so badly.

Why I stay away from the movies. In DAD alone we have the Asian Despot villain from Colonel Sun (now named Colonel Moon in the movie), the villain in plain sight who changes identities from Moonraker and you have the villain's fortress being an ice castle from Icebreaker.

That's bits and pieces from 3 novels. Non of them adapted, just cut to bits and made way less impact-full out of context within their story and the entire Bond arc as a whole. Sometimes it makes them truly hard to watch, it's like they are mixing up pages in their novels.
 
I'd love to see Craig's Bond in New York.
 
Bond was in New York in LALD and I believe he was in LA in Moonraker.
 
I want that mother****er back on the Golden Gate bridge. :o:up:

The movie could even be titled "007 In New York" just like the short story.

I know people dont like that title, but I'm one of those people who think all fleming titles should be used, lol
 
Chill....

I was joking hence the smiley tongue out face... :oldrazz:

I was wondering how many short stories did flemming do? Also how many non flemmming bond books are there?
 
If Mr Freeze was in Die Another Day it probably would've been lifted from a terrible movie to a below average one.

Ian did quite a few short stories. Some of his Bond short stories as well as the short stories of subsequent authors showed up in Playboy Mag. His short stories are collected for the most part in For Your Eyes Only and Octapussy & The Living Daylights. They also repackaged a bunch to tie in with QOS titled Quantum Of Solace.

As for the other authors -

Kingsley Amis - Colonel Sun. - 68
John Gardner - 16 Books including novelizations - 81-96
Raymond Benson - 9 Books including novelizations - 96-02
Charlie Higson - 5 Young Bond books - 05-08
Samantha Weinberg - 5 Moneypenny Diaries - 05-08
Sebastian Faulks - Devil May Care - 06
Jeffrey Deaver - Carte Blanche - 11
 
It makes you wonder what the hell were Eon thinking taking pointers from Batman and Robin?? :woot: Im not surprised DAD sucked so much...
