      Watch the crazy thoughts of thunder eggs

      At the beginning of the rescue, the women's clothing tycoon and the jet took off. Hahahaha. The Bond imagination at the beginning of the 1960s was an epoch-making hahahaha. At that time, the Bond girls were very temperamental and transparent. In recent years, except for Illinger I really don’t remember anything other than the baby. The shooting method has changed a lot in those years. The subsequent films are completely different from the black-and-white clapping method at this...

      The best and worst of Bond's Thunderbolt

      After watching the whole movie, the following is my personal experience of watching the movie:

      1. First of all, it must be pointed out that in the era when there were no computer special effects and even the limited shooting technology, this film used a lot of underwater photography to shoot the underwater battle, and people and sharks coexist (from behind the scenes, those sharks are all real , And the actors are really in the same pool when shooting, and the danger can be imagined)...

      Another Time, Another Place

      At 37 minutes and 25 seconds, when Bond broke up with the female nurse, Bond said keep in touch; the female nurse said affectionately, any time, ant place; Bond said while driving, Another Time, Another Place. This sentence is very chic. Today I read Sean Connery’s resume and suddenly discovered that his famous movie "Spring Dream" is actually Another Time, Another Place. This can be regarded as an allusion in ancient Chinese.
      In fact, this film is very good-looking, I mean the...

      Thunderball

      The action of 007 Bond (Sean Connery) will be extremely thrilling, because the British military will send him to complete an operation related to the safety of the people in major cities in the UK. Of course, the various weapons that Bond carries with him will greatly increase his chances of winning. This mission originated from a worldwide terrorist organization, the Devil's Party. They obtained the plan to transport two atomic bombs from the United States to the United Kingdom...

      Don't take brother seriously, brother is just a legend!

      I've seen it a long time ago, and the plot has been almost forgotten. It happened that the action channel that had no commercials was broadcast again last week, so I watched it again. The plot is relatively simple. The Devil’s Party hijacked NATO’s aircraft carrying nuclear bombs and demanded a ransom of 100 million pounds with the threat of a nuclear explosion. The unwilling British...

      The British Air Force rendition of the Malaysia Airlines M370 incident is perfect for the occasion. What is commendable is the long-term underwater photography, and the most criticized is the repetitive monotony of underwater fights. Face-blind outbursts look all too similar in the face of several Bond...

      It's too long, and the scene scheduling of the water battle is also very chaotic. Plus, when Bond doesn't see a girl sleeping with a girl again, the series has really...

      At that time, the underwater landscape could be arranged so beautifully; now it seems that Bond is simply traveling and picking up girls with public resources; this film is especially beautiful and...

      Uncle Bang ran around in short shorts showing his hairy legs throughout the movie. Was it kind of fun at that time? The poster is much better than the previous one [GolenFinger], but the plot of this one is a bit loose, I don't think it is exciting enough, so is this the reason why the next 007 was released after a year? The previous three were three years in a...

    Movie Highlights

    Claudine Auger had to use dubbing because of his heavy French accent.
    The flight bag used by James Bond for escape in the film is real. The jet bag was designed for the military in the 1950s and can last for 21 seconds. It was put on the screen for the first time in the film.
    Luciana Parruz and Raquel Welch were both the first candidates for the role of Domino. 20th Century Fox hesitated between the two and asked producer Brockley for...

    Shooting process

    On February 16, 1965, the film was shot in France. The investment in the film was more than the sum of the previous three films. A quarter of the work time of the film is to be shot underwater. Producer Albert Coby Percauli has invited underwater lens expert Rick Browning to take charge of the underwater shooting of the film. In order to ensure the adventurous elements in the film, the producer used the Deslan rocket propulsion...

      Bond: Wild? You should be locked up in a cage.

      Fiona: Mm. Mm, this bed feels like a cage. All these bars. Do you think I'll be... *safe*?

    • Fiona: [after a lovemaking session] You made a shocking mess out of my hair, you sadistic brute. Will you zip me up, please?
