That line is in the R3 I'm sure.

The R3 is fully uncut.

Going by what's showing up at the BBFC I'd wager that the following films will be among the next batch of Blu Rays released...

The Man with the Golden Gun
Moonraker
Licence to Kill
The World is Not Enough

If see anymore I'll add...

License to Kill and The World is Not Enough for me. Thanks Mark.

Yeah, those are the two I'd go for.

No worries about mono so I could easily get the UK releases.

For some reason i've never got into Bond...i think i've only seen Diamonds Are Forever in the cinema back in the 70's,ditto Live & Let Die..i saw Tomorrow Never Dies on dvd and Casino Royale on BD.. I'm tempted to try and see them all...should i see them in order or does it matter? any real avoid at all costs stinkers? My brother was telling me earlier CEX in town have Dr No on BD for £10..was thinking of picking it up.....

Order doesn't matter because there's a lack of continuity for the most part. I recommend checking out the Terence Young-directed ones: Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Thunderball.

The next batch of Bond BDs is:

Goldfinger
Moonraker
The World Is Not Enough

Guess The Man with the Golden Gun and Licence to Kill will be in the batch after.

The only true stinker IMO is Die Another Day but Mark like it, so other must do too. There has been some follow on:

Quantum of Solace follows on from Casino Royale
Several earlier Bonds has a Blofelt theme
Jaws appeared in a few Bonds films, best viewed in order

But otherwise as Gasteropod says they don't really follow on. The first great one IMO is From Russia with Love. Dr. No is a bit pants IMO.

Just The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker as far as I'm aware.

As for Blofeld, he's played by different actors most of the time, and in some films he has hair and others he's bald.

In For Your Eyes Only, Bond visits the grave of his dead wife, and that's about the extent of the continuity the Bond films have (apart from the two latest ones of course).

Licence to Kill makes a fleeting reference to Bond having been married a long time ago.

Too true Gasteropod, they're still links though.
Just The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker as far as I'm aware.
That's still more than one :D.

I would've thought it would be best to watch them in order if only just to see how they have evolved over the years.

Posted: 22 Jan 2009, 14:33
by bradavon
That is a good point, they have evolved quite differently. You could pick half a dozen top ones if you don't want to see all of them though.

How did you guess? Is this how they released the DVDs?

License to Kill and World is not Enough interest me but I have them on DVD and am not sure I can be bothered to upgrade. Bond isn't like most releases, there's so many of them. I already Casino Royale and may just get Tomorrow Never Dies when that comes.

Most Bonds I don't consider good enough to upgrade to BD. I'm really not interested in upgraded all my DVDs to BD, not until BDs cost the same as DVDs anyway.

No, they turned up at the BBFC last month.

LTK is on my wants list. 8)

It's definitely Dalton's best and one of the best Bonds. I still think TLD has a poor villain. Dalton also comes across a slightly uncomfortable, something he doesn't in LTK.

I'd say edgy rather than uncomfortable. He was the first Bond who looked and acted as though he might actually be captured or killed at any time (like a real spy).
