Funniest part of the film.

Apparently part of training for a lunar mission involves moving really slowly.
Ha!!!
Bond runs at full speed across the mock up lunar landscape at the space facility in the desert, followed by security guys. Yet the training astronauts move in slow motion to catch him like they are supposed to be weightless.

For me, the funniest part was when Bond returns with Plenty O'Toole to her darkened room, she goes off into the bathroom, then the Slumber Inc. henchmen turn on the lights with their guns pointed at him, and Bond replies, as cool as ever, "I'm afraid you've caught me with more than just my hands up."

Bambi and Thumper....that's the funniest part to me.

"As you can see, Mr. Bond, the satellite is at present over... Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years."

Noone pays attention to what happens in Kansas.

Yep, me too: "I'm afraid you've caught me with more than my hands up...", with a slight smile crossing his face.

Also, "Blow up your pants". Not so much the line, it's her mildly exasperated expression and delivery, corker.

How about when Jimmy Dean aka WW picks up the phone,gets the news that a missile has been blown up,turns to Bond and says " Whatever is happening has just begun"...... funniest grammar ever!

[–] Ronsin1976 12 years ago

For me it was .....When Bond thinks he kills the right Blofeld by observing the cat. After he kills the wrong one, the right one tells him "Right idea Mr. Bond". Mr. Bond refers, "But wrong pussy." It cracks me up at times.

A pussy is a cat. But have your crack if it makes you gay!

[–] kimmostar 12 years ago

Yeah, I was just about to open a topic about it. The whole segment with Bond at the back of the truck all the way to the chase with the moon truck. HILARIOUS! :D

Badges, not shields. You must take Klaus Hergersheimer seriously. G section is there for YOUR protection.

When I read the thread title I thought that the message would just read
"watching Lana Wood try to act."

[–] jandm-10 11 years ago

Ha! I think Lana Wood was Oscar material compared to Denise Richards in "The World Is Not Enough"

I just saw a part in the film, that I had never noticed before (there's a James Bond marathon playing on broadcast TV this weekend).

When taking off from Holland to Los Angeles, Mr Kidd says "I must say, Miss Case seems quite attractive... For a Lady" And when Mr Wint gives him a glare (jealous wife-like) he chuckles 'he he he'...

And, I just realized/found out, that Mr Wint (Bruce Glover) is Crispin Glover's father... (similiar looks and acting)

There 'are' many funny parts in this film (its probably the most 'tongue in cheek' Bond film, but they play out better than most of the others (later films, like MoonRaker are just painful).
