[MrSherlockWatson]

in dr.no honey ryder tells this story about some guy and how she scratched his face and he soposeably died due to a black widow spider. My friend thinks the man she scratched was blofeld....opinions fellow bond fans?

[NecroVMX]

@MrSherlockWatson a nice theory, but in the book it's explicitly stated to have been her husband

@Gallifrey1991

Actually yes, yes it is. And I'm not sorry for that.

[AftershockXXI]

Donald Pleasance is the best Blofeld.

@AftershockXXI Also the best thing about the movie

[MrMaligner]

The gyropcopter scene alone is horrid and unbelievable. Even in my weakest moments I could never believe that piece of junk could do what it did and not go down in 20 seconds flat, let alone carry that much weaponry. As usual, the music and locations are great. Loved the visceral fight scene when bond fakes his way into the office building at night. I think Connery comes off bored in this. Thunderball is more interesting. One of the worst Bond movies but I like them all.

I don't know why some people don't like Pleasance as Blofeld. He's intelligent, genuinely memorable and intimidating for such a small man. He drips menace. I like Savalas, but he seems a bit too human and a bit too low-key by comparison (necessary due to the tone and style of OHMSS). Grey was saddled with a bad concept in DAF. Connery doesn't look very enthusiastic by this stage. Love the theme song, sets, locations and photography. It's uneven, but you get your money's worth.

this wud of been a great swan song for sean connery

I saw this movie when I was 7 years old. I was a huge lover of the Bond films but this one has the added distinction of setting me squarely on the path to becoming a lifelong nipponophile.

@AftershockXXI The best .Kill Bond NOW!!!!!!

[hoogys]

The way they killed off Blofeld in the series was ridiculous.

[heavytom89]

oh man this movie sucks on so many levels. Its down right insulting. Take one example: Helga got bond tied to chair ready to be killed but nooo lets take him on an airplane, destroy it and jump out in a parachute in stead, that make sence. Ore take another scene: If Aki is Bonds ally why would she have to lure bond into tiger tanaka , why not just tell Bond right away that they where allys, but noo that would not be suspenseful for the audience. This movie really started to dumb the series down
