i like your thinking, tunick. a swing back to a softer roger moore-style bon would more easily allow jason bourne to slip in and slit his throat while he's busy putting on his makeup! goodbye janes bon!!!
Well if you cast Bentleycontinental Cucumbersandwich as Bond you would have Roger Moore Mk2. A creature so utterly unconvincing as a deadly spy (See also: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) that it would be as if the leisure suited pensioner had returned!
i think he should be a really tough cucumber sandwich, since he is james bond after all, so they would have to bring back the character "jaws" to eat the sandwich.
oh that's a good idea. then he could bring back a bunch more villains like odd job and octopussy and any other ones that i'm missing. and the audience will think "oh no, what can james bond do against all these powerful villains? he is just a cucumber sandwich!" but somehow james bond will save the day like he always does.
I think you are confusing your roles. That was a real spy, and they are sissies. When it comes to brutal cool spies, you should look more at Sherlock. Besides, Benny Hill Cuckoo's Batch is good in any role.
he will save the day by squirting mustard into the eyes of the assembled villains. they will be blinded and thrown into a panic. they will shoot each other.
Actually I posted that in the wrong thread and didn't realize it until after I read Tunick's comment.
All false. Spies are known ladykillers, not Brightons, if fiction has taught us anything! I point out that the United Colours of Benetton plays a detective and as a noodle armed choir-girl lacks the fortitude to be 7.
I rather think you missed the point of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. No one was supposed to be deadly in it. That would have been very improper.
