60 of 301 · most liked firstThis bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
neutral · AI labelView post →From Russia With Love is such a funny movie. The Training School for Evil Henchmen is something that bond parodies wished they could do, but they can't, because they already did it as part of a real bond film
neutral · AI labelView post →From Russia With Love: my favorite of the first three Bond flicks but the whole movie should have been about this guy and his many excellent sons
positive · AI labelView post →Goldfinger is overrated and From Russia With Love is the best Connery film though I suppose if you like to watch Bond get owned it’s one of the best, he’s really outclassed by Goldfinger the entire film

The film was on this weekend, and I spotted Lotte Lenya (one of my #31GreatWomenMusicians ) as Rosa Klebb. So it only feels right to pick this one! 😊 Lotte Lenya - Alabama Song m.youtube.com/watch?v=EGUj...

They reworked the schedule, but his health deteriorated and he had to depart the film. He went home and killed himself.

neutral · AI labelView post →watching From Russia With Love and the opening ten minutes are like a checklist of Bullshit You Can't Do In A Movie Anymore. the title sequence is a burlesque dancer jiggling her bosom while 007 is projected on her, then it's guys smoking indoors in a big tournament and then onscreen animal death

positive · AI labelView post →"I can still remember buying the From Russia With Love soundtrack when I was fifteen years old. To me, the Bond movie is a kind of impregnable fortress of film-making... that`s the pressure you put up with to join one of the most illustrious clubs of directors in film history." R.I.P.

negative · AI labelView post →Watching From Russia with Love and the biggest indicator that this is a movie from a very different era isn't the playful Cold War shenanigans or the briefcase with all the hidden features, but that Bond wears a hat in the barrel sequence.

neutral · AI labelView post →People forget this happened when Fleming was writing the original books. Bond died at the end of From Russia With Love. In Dr No, he got better (they even kept the conversation about him getting better in the film version of Dr No). Just do the same thing again.
neutral · AI labelView post →5) No one says the title of the film, but Bond writes FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE over a photograph of Tatiana Romanova 6) Pedro Armendáriz (Kerim Bey) was terminally ill during filming & shot himself after the film wrapped 7) Red Grant escaped from Dartmoor Prison in 1960 8) Customised briefcase is GREAT

neutral · AI labelView post →I hate when ppl put in meaningless foreign letters to make the word look like that language. I was just learning the Cyrillic alfabet when "From Russia With Love" came out in '64. The movie poster read "яussia" 'я' is pronounced 'Ya' in Cyrillic and alone means 'I.' It looks silly to Russians.

Connery is even more charming, the spy caper is markedly more exciting, and I can already tell that Tatiana Romanava is going to be an all-time great Bond Girl.
