      Unmatched


      A ballistic missile nuclear submarine of the British Royal Navy and a Russian submarine mysteriously disappeared at the same time. Bond, who was performing official duties in Austria, was urgently recalled. Encountered in an ambush on the way, in a piece of white snow, 007 successfully escaped from the enemy and opened the Great Britain flag parachute when sliding down the snow cliff. The background gradually dimmed, and the white snow turned into a dark blue. A pair of female hands would...

      The best and worst of Bond's underwater city

      After watching the whole film, my feelings about this film are as follows:

      1. The most powerful villain in the 24 series appeared in this film. Although this product has no lines, it brings a strong sense of deterrence. Suddenly appearing in the closet on the train is simply a shock! The scene of dealing with Bond in Egypt also shows that it is definitely not a villain with low IQ. The success of the image of Big Steel Ya in this film also made it a successful star in "Space City"....

      Finished watching "007 10: Underwater City"

      The look and feel is very good, from the quality to the plot, it is worthy of the tenth important node.

      Roger Moore’s James Bond is still in a mess, and his three-piece suit is walking around in the desert of Egypt, walking around with long legs, four words-pleasing to the eye. The technology of the Q branch also shines brightly. Who has never dreamed of turning a car into a submarine underwater!

      The "Bond Girl" of this department is also very worthy of praise. The...

      [Series Completion Plan] "007 Ten: Underwater City"

      "Underwater City" is the "007" movie that has received the most Oscar nominations. Although the nominated awards focus on music and setting, the quality of this episode is also superior in terms of plot. The two episodes of "007" are much more beautiful.

      The focus of this episode is the world's shipping industry tycoon Strömberg, this man is very ambitious, and his methods are quite ruthless. The development of the submarine tracking system, the construction of sea...

      The black technology is dizzying, diving car + Atlantis underwater city, full of futuristic sense. Hunting nuclear submarines is similar to hunting spaceships in Thunder Valley. The scene is unprecedented, and a lot of things are bombed. It's awe-inspiring to think that blockbusters from nearly half a century ago achieved this size and...

      Things are missing, and Spectre comes to mind every time, but in the Connery era, it's dead. Second time seeing snow chase and third time seeing train fight. The road chase is getting more and more exciting. It is clear that the level of technology is getting higher and higher. This Bond girl has a role connotation, but it is still not full enough. I feel that the script has a very fatal loophole. There is no need to grab three submarines, otherwise the Boss can...

    Evaluation action

    The success of the film lies in the innovation of the props and the excellent performances of the pros and cons. The opening ski jump stunts in the film, the lotus sports car diving into the sea to become a submarine and shooting down enemy helicopters and other scenes, and Barbara · The Bond girl Amasova played by Bach has left a very deep impression on the audience, and Richard Gere’s "Big Steel Teeth" has become one of the most...

    Movie quotes

    • Stromberg: Well gentlemen, now that the moment has come to bid you farewell, I congratulate both you, Doctor, and you, Professor, on your brilliant work in the development of the submarine tracking system. Thanks primarily to you, I am happy to say that the first phase of our operation has met with considerable success. I have instructed my assistant to have paid into your Swiss bank accounts the sum of ten million dollars each.

      Prof. Markovitz: Thank you, sir.

      Dr. Bechmann: Thank you indeed.

      Stromberg: And that, I think, concludes our business. Before you go however, I very much regret to inform you that a dangerous development has recently been brought to my notice. Someone has been attempting to sell the plans of our tracking project to competing world powers; someone intimately associated with the project.

    • James Bond: Which bullet has my name on it? The first or the last?

      Major Anya Amasova: I have never failed on a mission, Commander. Any mission.

      James Bond: In that case, Major, one of us is bound to end up gravely disappointed, because neither have I.

    • James Bond: Oh, by the way, thanks for deserting me back there.

      Major Anya Amasova: Every woman for herself, remember?

      James Bond: Still, you did save my life.

      Major Anya Amasova: We all make mistakes, Mr. Bond.
