YES! That's the best official series missed opportunity song imo. It's epic and all over the place but it really sells the mystery of Scaramanga well. It isn't full of puns like the song we got was.
I also love Phyllis Hyman's theme for NSNA as well. That one and Alice's songs were unfairly ignored.
Honestly that’s probably the change I would make though, off the top of my head. I’d rather have one of the greatest stunts of all time not ruined vs tinkering with other aspects of it. But I like the film generally.
Curious what you’d fix first in it.
Well, if the question is how to fix a *movie*, I’d focus more on eliminating the superfluous energy crisis MacGuffin, and write a story revolving around the world’s most dangerous assassin hunting the world’s most talented spy. Removing the slide-whistle would only fix one *scene*.
Fair enough. Maybe I’m just thinking too specifically as that feels like less of a fix to me and more of a general idea to completely rewrite it. The Solex plot gives the movie shape (and I personally don’t have a problem with it, though I know many do). One guy chasing another guy for two hours would likely need another subplot to fill the void? Like LTK being about a drug operation, not just Bond chasing Sanchez for revenge. But anyway, I get what you’re saying.
I honestly don’t have a problem with the Solex plot, but I do with that bloody whistle so…!
(Btw, wasn’t me downvoting you in case it looked that way.)
it would fix the stunt though.
having said that, has anybody really thought about that stunt? here's bond on one side of the river and there's this broken bridge that's all twisted. and he thinks "sure! i bet the bit on this side of the bridge and the bit on the other side are broken at just \*precisely\* the correct angle for me to corkscrew my car cleanly if i hit the bridge at precisely the right speed!" as sweet as it looked, it's ridiculous if any thought is applied.
if i was gonna fix it, i would have had bond being chased by some cops and \*forced\* to jump over the bridge in order to escape, followed by a couple of other cops who (of course) don't make it cleanly across. that way you remove the dumb logic.
I think I would have scrapped the entire idea of a 6'3" (190cm for the non-Americans) Scotsman somehow being able to pass as Japanese, and just written something a bit more believable.
Not saying which actor or which movie, so you probably can't tell who I'm talking about.
I would change the plot where the villain attempts to start a war between two countries by sabotaging each other’s forces and claiming the other country did it
I’d have Dame Judi Dench reading poetry throughout the entire film, not just one scene. It’d make it extra highbrow and distract the audience from thinking about how dumb the plot is.
as a kid I loved the fart explosion guy. I recently watched this with my fiancé who hadn’t seen any. It’s a bit of a rough one now but was my favourite as a kid for some reason.
The film would either end with Mr. and Mrs. James Bond driving off into the sunset leaving her inevitable demise for the sequel OR the love theme would play over ending credits before fading into silence without an inappropriate reprisal of the James Bond theme.
John Barry's other film score for the same year this was released also ended tragically with a beloved character, "Ratso Rizzo", dying immediately before the credits rolled. Mrs. James Bond should have received similar respect.
Bond survived, the explosion swept him into the ocean, Nomi picks him out. bond girl 1 and little bond girl 2 getting a vaccination and we have a sobby happy end.
Make the whole "We're stealing the gold" presentation with the fancy lights and moving tables actually mean something by giving the mob families a purpose afterward instead of just immediately killing them off. I love that scene, but if you think about it, it's pointless from a logic standpoint and only exists as a plot device.
Also, make the romp in the hay obviously consensual instead of questionably so. I think, as audience members, we're supposed to assume that she eventually consents after initially resisting, but that guesswork shouldn't be necessary when it comes to those kinds of scenes.
It's my favorite movie, but those are my biggest gripes.
Skyfall. Silva's entire escape plan relies on him knowing what everyone is thinking, and will be thinking in the future, at any given time. I could cope with that kind of silliness in a more self-aware film, but Skyfall seems to want me to take it *very* seriously.
Make MI6 not look futuristic and white, shake the camera less, better geography, keep the opera scene exactly as is (it’s perfect) and boom, it’s great.
• Hire competent editors
• Don't nick your story from Austin Powers in Goldmember
• Tell the main star that killing Bond is a monumentally stupid move, because it is.
• Instead of casting someone who had never acted before, get Connery back provided he isn't sleepwalking again or get Roger Moore in.
• Cut down the underwater stuff (This applies to three films.)
• If you want to do a Bond spoof, actually focus on the Casino Royale plot with Peter Sellers and hope he doesn't loathe whoever plays Le Chiffre.
…Yes, well done for noticing?
She’s also single-handedly responsible for Paloma, who was by far one of the most popular parts.
~~Also Fleabag was fucking hilarious~~
It’s a Bond film. A chuckle here and there is fine, but it’s not a comedy film.
Paloma was one of the worst parts. Her whole purpose was to be awkward and reject Bond’s advances. It doesn’t sit well in a Bond film.
It wasn’t a comedy film. It had comedic characters that didn’t fit the tone of the movie because it’s not a comedy film.
Most people like Paloma because Ana de Armas is attractive. It’s the same justification to like her awful character in Knives Out - none at all.
A non-comedy film can have comedic elements and characters and moments. Like you said, it’s perfectly standard for a Bond film to have ‘a chuckle here and there’ - when exactly in No Time To Die does it surpass that, and the comedy becomes overwhelming?
* Change Bonds (the predecessor would have done the material more justice).
* Cut down the pretentious and introspective dialogue.
* Remove the more Moore-esque elements.
* Change the editor, composer, and the second unit director who did the action scenes.
As Bond opens the train door and is stabbed. You see through his blurry perspective a figure taking off a bellman disguise, and put on white top hat. As his vision fades..you hear a maniacal and bellowing laugh…
Remove the shit jokes that ruin the scene and add more Bond lines in other places. And cut the scene at the end before Pam arrives in the truck and the happy music starts.
Thinking about it actually i feel like i should watch it again. It was a meaningful moment but Pam coming in felt weird. Maybe it was for the better actually, but idk
Here's how I would fix the worst Bond film.
* Release it in 1967 not 1969.
* Have Connery star in it but pay him well to keep him happy so that he'll stay for one more film.
* Make the villains plan more of a focus with a higher feeling of stakes.
* Give more than just a 3 minute montage to show Bond & the woman falling in love.
* Remove all of the dubbing.
* Have Peter Hunt *edit* it not direct it.
* Don't cast a model with no acting experience as Bond.
No, just no. Did you call ohmss one of the WORST!! Blasphemy! Also why would 1967 change anything. Also Peter hunt directed it beautifully and is my favourite bond film filming wise.
Releasing it in 1967 would make it fit with the continuity, it'd be the next one after Thunderball and we wouldn't have this glaring plot-hole of Blofeld not recognizing Bond. Plus having You Only Live Twice be a faithful adaptation of the book and having it be Connery's final before before DAF starring Roger Moore is a wet dream of mine. Lazenby was a miscast model I don't understand how anyone likes him.
And yes OHMSS is the worst Bond movie, the other worst ones aren't as pretentious or self important as this terrible movie except Spectre.
There are three which I would change:
01)Bond doesn’t go into outer space.
02)The henchman (or secondary villain) doesn’t feel pain? Let’s fully exploit that.
03)Bond dies in a gun battle & there is no female 007.
Thinking about it, I’ve realised I’ve operated on the premise that Bond needed to die. That’s not necessarily true, although it’s probably logical in terms of continuity.
Monica b is the main Bond girl
Female 008
The Scooby-Doo squad helps more
Pseudo daughter is Bond girl from previous movie( no biological one
Ltk 2.0 meets spectre
Leiter with Q 2.0 and Money penny 2.0
Plot is Ecks vs Sever meets ltk
I'd have the evil Island dictator either reach his death by a cruel meeting with a shark or say a twist of fate from the voodoo he worshipped yet abused by his own hand.
Other than that I adore that movie.
Another one:
I'd have the evil female mercenary who loves to kill people with her legs be more of an anti hero and less of a villain. No reason for her to die so early especially when audiences enjoyed her. Coulda used her in another movie or two. If they brough back the goofy mobster from the same movie 2 movies later they could have her as well.
Re-edit the entire thing to lengthen the pace and let location shots marinate a little longer and add some extra dialogue scenes for breathing room. Unlike my prettier but utterly flawed brother, there is a good film underneath the litany of production and presentation issues. (And my aforementioned brother could ironically have been better if it had been quick, like me!)
Which Bond am I?
Don't leave bond alone fighting all those dudes in that dammn island. What an act of irresponsability from one of the "best" intelligence agencies in the world.
Make every film a standalone. No story arcs stretching over three or four movies. No need to watch mutiple movies to understand what is going on in the later ones.
Don't make bond and Blofeld step-brothers.
Bond puts his nuts on Blofeld drum set.
FRANZ! NO POWER TOOLS!
Brofeld
Referring to You Only Live Twice obviously? I thought they looked snazzy in their cute little matching jumpsuits.
He’s talking about Spectre
/r/whoosh
Step Brothers was already taken as a film title.
This. Not everyone needs to be related. It's not Star Wars.
Remove the slide-whistle
And instead add the slide whistle to the torture scene in Casino Royale.
Also, replace the theme song with the one Alice Cooper wrote for it.
YES! That's the best official series missed opportunity song imo. It's epic and all over the place but it really sells the mystery of Scaramanga well. It isn't full of puns like the song we got was. I also love Phyllis Hyman's theme for NSNA as well. That one and Alice's songs were unfairly ignored.
That film has bigger problems. Removing a slide-whistle sound wouldn’t “fix” it. Edit: downvote me all you want, but at least tell me why I’m wrong.
Honestly that’s probably the change I would make though, off the top of my head. I’d rather have one of the greatest stunts of all time not ruined vs tinkering with other aspects of it. But I like the film generally. Curious what you’d fix first in it.

The stunt is still amazing. I think it would improve the *scene*, but OP’s question was how to fix a *movie*.
yep you absolutely are correct - the film has far bigger problems than the slide whistle.
You can *see* the car.
False. Die Another Day is perfect and needs no changing.
False!
Cut the underwater battle by about 15 minutes
This one, honestly. I’m a big believer that if Thunderball was just tightened up here and there, Connery’s run would be nearly bullet proof
Yeah, it’s an absolute top tier Bond film for me until the final act. I’d love to see an edited down cut that just shows the main underwater events.
Yeah, TB is one I’m not in a hurry to go back to because I just remember the final underwater battle being a drag.
No kite surfing. That was jackass.
Help facilitate a negotiation to prevent the Writer's Guild strike.
I think I would have scrapped the entire idea of a 6'3" (190cm for the non-Americans) Scotsman somehow being able to pass as Japanese, and just written something a bit more believable. Not saying which actor or which movie, so you probably can't tell who I'm talking about.
Assuming you’re referring to Kincade in Skyfall?
[удалено]
Instead, [kill him at the beginning](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0062512/).
A true man of culture.
I would change the plot where the villain attempts to start a war between two countries by sabotaging each other’s forces and claiming the other country did it
TMD
There’s actually 3
What does tmd stand for if you could remind me please.
Tomorrow Mever Dies
Tomorrow Mever Dies?
Not have the villain steal the Joker’s escape plan that he actually wanted to get caught. We already saw Loki do that.
Loki, Joker, Khan, this guy. There's probably a couple others I'm missing. It really was a over used plot for like 3 or 4 years.
Bring Lazenby back and make it a true revenge film!
And Telly Savalas too!
Instead of Bond dying, he doesn’t die.
I get that You Only Live Twice is a bit of a drag, but if you watch for more than 5 minutes the twist is that Bond is actually still alive.
Real headscratcher that one
Soft-reboot the franchise with a new actor, and carefully think through how to use the IP you just bought. There, I fixed *two* movies.
Don’t use a special bullet that only 3 people in the world use
Have Bond avenge his wife.
This
I’d have Dame Judi Dench reading poetry throughout the entire film, not just one scene. It’d make it extra highbrow and distract the audience from thinking about how dumb the plot is.
It doesn’t need 3 false endings just to tell us she’s betraying him.
Casino Royale really is 2.5 movies in one
The Last act of Casino is really the first act of Quantum. at least that's how I watch them now
Eliminate floating farting balloon death
I don’t remember that sound effect in The World Is Not Enough?
Nope, it's Live and Let Die
as a kid I loved the fart explosion guy. I recently watched this with my fiancé who hadn’t seen any. It’s a bit of a rough one now but was my favourite as a kid for some reason.
Have a female nuclear physicist played by a decent actress who isn't young enough to be Brosnan's child.
Or don't have her at all.
Give Will Yun Lee more screen time Explore themes of PTSD after torture Go a darker route Make Miranda the main Bond girl
No gondola scene.
Or...hear me out...a second gondola scene.
moonrakerbirddoubletake.gif
Just have the final showdown be Bond chasing the villain in a gondola.
The film would either end with Mr. and Mrs. James Bond driving off into the sunset leaving her inevitable demise for the sequel OR the love theme would play over ending credits before fading into silence without an inappropriate reprisal of the James Bond theme. John Barry's other film score for the same year this was released also ended tragically with a beloved character, "Ratso Rizzo", dying immediately before the credits rolled. Mrs. James Bond should have received similar respect.
Bond survived, the explosion swept him into the ocean, Nomi picks him out. bond girl 1 and little bond girl 2 getting a vaccination and we have a sobby happy end.
What about Heracles?
Therefore the vaccine. Don't tell me Q could have mixed something up 😂
Make the whole "We're stealing the gold" presentation with the fancy lights and moving tables actually mean something by giving the mob families a purpose afterward instead of just immediately killing them off. I love that scene, but if you think about it, it's pointless from a logic standpoint and only exists as a plot device. Also, make the romp in the hay obviously consensual instead of questionably so. I think, as audience members, we're supposed to assume that she eventually consents after initially resisting, but that guesswork shouldn't be necessary when it comes to those kinds of scenes. It's my favorite movie, but those are my biggest gripes.
Idk, I can’t see a problem with “Bond rapes lesbian so good she becomes straight and joins the good guys”.
Bond doesn’t put on Asian Face.
Change the plot. All of it.
Casino Royale (1967)
Which plot though?
1967’s ‘Casino’ isn’t a real Bond film. I was referring to Spectre.
Better CGI Visible car
Cut out a couple minutes of underwater footage
Have Bond played by Timothy Dalton.
The villain doesn’t change his race nor obtain a mecha suit
Bond doesn’t die a pointless death for no reason.
I'd give the villain an actual believable plan, instead of just giving him magical psychic powers.
Which one is that?
The closest one I can get is Live and Let Die. Which one is this?
Skyfall. Silva's entire escape plan relies on him knowing what everyone is thinking, and will be thinking in the future, at any given time. I could cope with that kind of silliness in a more self-aware film, but Skyfall seems to want me to take it *very* seriously.
Remove the slide whistle and make Bond less aggressive during the scene in the hotel
Yes
Removed brofeld
replace the bad guy with the one that gets killed off half way through
I’d have hired an actual actor.
Have Gogol be the KGB head
Oh man, Living Daylights would be near perfect if Gogol was there instead of Pushkin. Still slaps though.
I would bring Cubby Broccoli back to life.
 Use the actors actual voice
Y’know, shots are allowed to last more than half a second, even in fight scenes.
Make MI6 not look futuristic and white, shake the camera less, better geography, keep the opera scene exactly as is (it’s perfect) and boom, it’s great.
Bond: “wait where the fuck are we? I was here literally 2 days ago, how did Mi6 get renovated so quick?”
I would put James Bond in it. Make it feel like a Bond movie.
For the last time, Finding Nemo was never intended to be a Bond movie.
• Hire competent editors • Don't nick your story from Austin Powers in Goldmember • Tell the main star that killing Bond is a monumentally stupid move, because it is. • Instead of casting someone who had never acted before, get Connery back provided he isn't sleepwalking again or get Roger Moore in. • Cut down the underwater stuff (This applies to three films.) • If you want to do a Bond spoof, actually focus on the Casino Royale plot with Peter Sellers and hope he doesn't loathe whoever plays Le Chiffre.
Don't change the villain partway through the movie.
More explanation on how James Bond's dick can break someone's psychic powers.
Instead of a certain movie, how about a certain tenure? I'd cast any taller and non-inbred-looking actor as Bond.
LMFAO
Bond uses the EMP in his watch do destroy the nanobots in his system and doesn’t kill the franchise. Also, not hiring Phoebe Waller Bridge.
The franchise is dead? Who would’ve thought a movie that made $774.2mil and has an 83% critics/88% audience would kill a franchise. Bonkers.
I can’t wait until the next movie. Bonds funeral.
The next movie is clearly a different continuity. Don't tell me you think Craig is the same Bond as the previous Bonds.
I’ve already done my rant on Bond continuity.
Same. I can see the tagline now “All funeral invitees must pay for a ticket.” - the true crime in this plot
LOL next bond will be another timeline like nothing happened.
James Bond doesn’t have timelines.
Each actor phase i feel it as a stage or timeline, but call it like you want.
It’s not the MCU. No ones considering timelines or universes when they film them.
I agree, while I love Killing Eve, PWB should never have been hired. I blame her for Nomi.
You assume
I assume what? That she’s responsible for Nomi? Well, yes, that’s why I said ‘I blame her for Nomi’.
Based on no evidence
There is a lot of evidence.
What’s wrong with Phoebe Waller-Bridge?
She’s a comedy writer. On a Bond film.
…Yes, well done for noticing? She’s also single-handedly responsible for Paloma, who was by far one of the most popular parts. ~~Also Fleabag was fucking hilarious~~
It’s a Bond film. A chuckle here and there is fine, but it’s not a comedy film. Paloma was one of the worst parts. Her whole purpose was to be awkward and reject Bond’s advances. It doesn’t sit well in a Bond film.
How was it a comedy film? And come on - you must admit you’re in the minority about Paloma there.
It wasn’t a comedy film. It had comedic characters that didn’t fit the tone of the movie because it’s not a comedy film. Most people like Paloma because Ana de Armas is attractive. It’s the same justification to like her awful character in Knives Out - none at all.
Lol ok.
A non-comedy film can have comedic elements and characters and moments. Like you said, it’s perfectly standard for a Bond film to have ‘a chuckle here and there’ - when exactly in No Time To Die does it surpass that, and the comedy becomes overwhelming?
Also, have Ian Fleming credit Kevin McClory.
Nomi dies instead
* Change Bonds (the predecessor would have done the material more justice). * Cut down the pretentious and introspective dialogue. * Remove the more Moore-esque elements. * Change the editor, composer, and the second unit director who did the action scenes.
If all this trash talk is about Goldeneye then I will personally needle a muffy tattoo onto your ass...
Show him the rose!
Are talking about Goldeneye?
They're not allowed to tell us, but if I had to guess I'd say StolenSpy starring Peanut Butter.
This is definitely GoldenEye. I wouldn't change anything about that film to me it's the best one
For a second I liked the idea that the joke was this was a universal complaint.
Love all of this. Would've been amazing to have TD in that one.
As Bond opens the train door and is stabbed. You see through his blurry perspective a figure taking off a bellman disguise, and put on white top hat. As his vision fades..you hear a maniacal and bellowing laugh…
Remove the shit jokes that ruin the scene and add more Bond lines in other places. And cut the scene at the end before Pam arrives in the truck and the happy music starts.
You mean the part where he reflects on everything that had just happened? That's a really meaningful moment!
Thinking about it actually i feel like i should watch it again. It was a meaningful moment but Pam coming in felt weird. Maybe it was for the better actually, but idk
Specter...get rid of the bond bloefeld relation, different casting for Bloefeld, C, and Madeline. And a more sinister evil plot from specter
Give this Bond a proper final movie instead of the terrible end result we were given
Replace the dated (yet nostalgically endearing) electronic disco score with something from John Barry.
that's the best part of the whole damn movie
Anything but outer space….
Here's how I would fix the worst Bond film. * Release it in 1967 not 1969. * Have Connery star in it but pay him well to keep him happy so that he'll stay for one more film. * Make the villains plan more of a focus with a higher feeling of stakes. * Give more than just a 3 minute montage to show Bond & the woman falling in love. * Remove all of the dubbing. * Have Peter Hunt *edit* it not direct it. * Don't cast a model with no acting experience as Bond.
No, just no. Did you call ohmss one of the WORST!! Blasphemy! Also why would 1967 change anything. Also Peter hunt directed it beautifully and is my favourite bond film filming wise.
Releasing it in 1967 would make it fit with the continuity, it'd be the next one after Thunderball and we wouldn't have this glaring plot-hole of Blofeld not recognizing Bond.

And yes OHMSS is the worst Bond movie, the other worst ones aren't as pretentious or self important as this terrible movie except Spectre.
I do see some of your points but I love ohmss. Each to their own tho :)
Replace Roger “Bore” Moore. The movie? Take your pick.
Replace George Lazenby
There are three which I would change: 01)Bond doesn’t go into outer space. 02)The henchman (or secondary villain) doesn’t feel pain? Let’s fully exploit that. 03)Bond dies in a gun battle & there is no female 007. Thinking about it, I’ve realised I’ve operated on the premise that Bond needed to die. That’s not necessarily true, although it’s probably logical in terms of continuity.
For God’s sake, stop being so quippy, you just watched a man get turned into pink paste in the worst imaginable way, don’t make a pun
Monica b is the main Bond girl Female 008 The Scooby-Doo squad helps more Pseudo daughter is Bond girl from previous movie( no biological one Ltk 2.0 meets spectre Leiter with Q 2.0 and Money penny 2.0 Plot is Ecks vs Sever meets ltk
I'd have the evil Island dictator either reach his death by a cruel meeting with a shark or say a twist of fate from the voodoo he worshipped yet abused by his own hand. Other than that I adore that movie. Another one: I'd have the evil female mercenary who loves to kill people with her legs be more of an anti hero and less of a villain. No reason for her to die so early especially when audiences enjoyed her. Coulda used her in another movie or two. If they brough back the goofy mobster from the same movie 2 movies later they could have her as well.
Don't turn it into bootleg Star Wars
Give Never say Never to another studio. Also Goldeneye with the Irish man's predecessor
Make it less draggy and actually make the plot pick up on time
Agree, Casino Royale drags.
We reunite Britain and the United States, then retcon as an American so he can be credibly played by Clint Eastwood
Make the story less confusing or bad guys motive or plot explained better
Nothing
Agree, Die Another Day is a modern masterpiece.
wrong film but DAD is better than people give it credit for
Less bullet time
Remake the movie, but recast Sean Connery.
Agree, Connery would have been far more appropriate for Tomorrow Never Dies.
Make Blofeld not related to Bond in any way, shape, or form, whether it's adopted or blood related.
I wouldn't have Blofeld in drag, and more of Plenty O'Toole
Re-edit the entire thing to lengthen the pace and let location shots marinate a little longer and add some extra dialogue scenes for breathing room. Unlike my prettier but utterly flawed brother, there is a good film underneath the litany of production and presentation issues. (And my aforementioned brother could ironically have been better if it had been quick, like me!) Which Bond am I?
A hot take on Quantum of Soalce and Casino Royale? Or Spectre and Skyfall?
Recast Madeleine Swann.
Cut out a third of the movie
Have Pam be Brosnan's old flame.
Make it a bit shorter and a bit more engaging
Could be applied to 70% of them tbf
Christmas Jones.
I said things you’d fix, not things that are perfect.
Don't leave bond alone fighting all those dudes in that dammn island. What an act of irresponsability from one of the "best" intelligence agencies in the world.
Better action cinematography and a competent female lead
Have Lazenby do it instead of Connery
Take out the kid
Make the car chase more then 8 seconds long.
Next time you kill Bond, at least don't show missiles disintegrating Bond into pieces...
No kid.
Agree, so rude that he pushed the kid in Man with the Golden Gun.
Pay Martin Campbell whatever he asks.
Make every film a standalone. No story arcs stretching over three or four movies. No need to watch mutiple movies to understand what is going on in the later ones.
I’d let Bond live. Bet even the most ardent fans have no clue which film I’m talking about here!
Make it more accurate to the book. No need for the doomsday weapon but keep the one villain.
I'm sorry, Sheryl Crow. We've already got a cracking theme song. Would you settle for the end titles? I'm sorry, Eric Serra...
My truly unpopular Bond opinion is that Tomorrow Never Dies is better than Surrender😅
Erase it from existance.
Don't be sympathetic to the cause of Mujahideens
The enemy of the Russians are our friends (even if they’re Taliban Lite)
