Why would you tell someone you'll kill them once the mission is over...


BEFORE the mission is over?! What's to say they won't kill you before you get a chance? Stupid!

Yes, it was a pretty stupid thing to say. especially to someone like Bond.

I think the idea was that she was assuring him that she wouldn't kill him before it was over so they could get the job done.

but it would have been better not to mention killing him at all, if she really serioysly meant to.

First of all I don't think she was all that serious about killing Bond. She was understandably upset and cut loose with the drama, but when push came to shove all it took to turn her from murderer to lover was a dumb joke. Secondly, she'd probably come to see that Bond isn't the type that would kill a woman just for making a threat, so there wasn't much he could do about it. It wasn't too stupid because she still managed to get the drop on Bond even after she told him of her plan, Bond only survived at the end because Triple X decided not to pull the trigger. Or never intended to.

the main bond girl's personality in this is so off putting, constant being a bitch and even leaves bond deserted in the desert to die at the hands of jaws and she looks pissed most of the time, i wish bond had ended up with some other female in the movie. i find the final part of the movie runs pretty slow, like in that way "thunderball" had overlong underwater scenes. bond looks so funny in the desert tent and the scene has great humour. here we go again, a female shot in the back while in the arms of bond. this is the only time i've seen bond body slam someone, by the way, check out hulk hogan bodyslam andre the giant, andre was considered as jaws in this i've heard. notice how bond like the spy in the beginning looks, like a match between roger moore and george lazenby, the opening reminds of the opening to "a view to a kill" (1985), i think i've read this was moore's favorite of his bond movies and the least his final "a view to a kill". sandor's part sure wasn't big compared to jaws, unusual how m doesn't appear until far into the movie if i got that right, the actor playing general gogol is so good, just the face expressions and the way he delivers the news of the death of the spy who loved her.

living in memories of yesterday,
every one has gone away,
and not a town look the same,
new technology though,
that i dont know,
wandering through gods earth alone,
and i dont feel at home here any more.
