For bedre at forklare hvorfor jeg godt mener, at man kan drage paralleller mellem hhv.For Your Eyes Only & Licence To Kill kontra de nye i reboot’en, Casino Royale, og primært Quantum Of Solace, har jeg fundet et par beskrivelser af de gamle film frem her :

For Your Eyes Only – After the sci-fi/adventure of "Moonraker", producer Albert R Broccoli decided to bring 007 back to earth in a crackling, fast-paced espionage thriller in the vein of such earlier bond classics as "From Russia With Love" and "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. The new film, based on a pair of Ian Fleming short stories would de-emphasise the fantasy elements in favor of a grittier, more realistic approach. A special attempt would be made to return Bond to the lean, taut style of his earlier adventures. Broccoli’s 12’th bond film, “For Your Eyes Only”, would adopt a back to basics approach and also distinguish itself with what many fans consider to be Roger Moore’s finest performance as agent 007. "For Your Eyes Only's" greater emphasis on realism begins with the storyline, which departs from the previous films larger than life villains and world domination plot.

Instead the story revolves around two crime lords and their maneuvering for the lost British decoder A.T.A.C. Bond is charged with recovering the device, and soon allies himself with the beautiful, strong-willed Melina Havelock in a spectacular tale of deceit, treachery and vengeance. Even more tension is generated by the ruthlessness of Bond, who in recent films had been played with a humorous touch that matched the witty light-hearted adventures themselves. In "For Your Eyes Only", however, Bond reminds the audience of what his 00 classification really means – the agent has a licence to kill, a designation he won’t hesitate to use. By returning the Bond series to its roots, Broccoli exceeded the expectations of fans and critics alike to create a powerful, hard-hitting action/adventure. Although fantasy and humor would always be a large part of 007’s appeal, “For Your Eyes Only”, opened audiences eyes to a different, and just as exciting, type of Bond adventure.

Licence To Kill – The filmmakers had exhausted the original Ian Fleming novels and short stories for usable plots, and previous films in the series had taken Bond all over the world, under water and even outer space. A fresh, original concept was mandatory, but at the same time, there were certain elements that were expected, even required, in a bond film – the exotic locales, the stunning women, the amazing high tech gadgetry and, of course, the all powerful villain. It was growing increasingly difficult to weave these elements into an exhilarating adventure and still maintain the all-important element of surprise, but the creators of “Licence To Kill” rose to the challenge and devised a concept that would take the series to a startling new level. Instead of undertaking a mission for the greater good of England, Bond would disobey direct orders, resign his commission and seek personal vengeance.

From this compelling scenario Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson crafted a spectacular tale of revenge, passion and greed set against the backdrop of the South American drug trade. By thrusting Bond out of his comfortable government sanctioned niche and revoking his licence to kill, the filmmakers created a Bond adventure unlike any other. This time, Bond must not only confront a maniacal villain, but also highly trained agents from his own side. The films darker, harder-edged approach and the intensity of the action sequences also triggered another first for the Bond series ; a PG-13 rating. And Timothy Dalton infused his character with a raw emotional power previously unseen in the series, portraying Bond as a man pushed to the limit and driven by exceedingly personal motivations. Combining Bond’s characteristic skill and class with a new found intensity, “Licence To Kill” succeeds as a crackling, adrenaline charged adventure that ranks among the best and most original films in the series.

Og for lige at få afsluttet det ang. de gadgets vi har talt om, ja så er den Zeppo lighter/”flammekaster” du taler om slet ikke en gadget, men blot en helt almindelig lighter som Bond får i gave af Felix Leiter og hans kone. Polaroid-kameraet du nævner er kun med som et kort komisk indslag, da Q dukker op og Bond bruger det for øvrigt ikke i sin videre mission mod Franz Sanchez og hans organisation. Det eneste han benytter sig af er plasticsprængstof og en detonator i forklædning af tandpasta og en pakke cigaretter, samt hvad man kan kalde for en decideret gadget, nemlig en opgraderet sniperiffel. Ellers bruger han ganske ordinære våben og sine næver i det meste af filmen. Går man tilbage til ”For Your Eyes Only” benytter Bond kun én gadget, (en identifikationsmaskine), da han befinder sig i MI6s hovedkvarter i London. Under hele hans mission på jagt efter skurkene i filmen drager han på intet tidspunkt nytte af nogen former for gadgets. Min pointe om at man i disse to historier er gået efter et realistisk plot, (begge med et hævntema), og en back to basic Ian Fleming model holder altså fint og derfor er sammenligningen med de to nye i serien, som jeg skrev tidligere, helt ok. Om man så foretrækker John Glens stil frem for Martin Campbell og Marc Forsters er selvfølgelig en smagssag, men at påstå at man ikke kan drage nogen former for paralleller mellem de nævnte film her, mener jeg er helt og aldeles forkert betragtet.

For nu at snakke om noget helt andet så skylder jeg vist lige Michael at kommentere på titelsangen ”Another Way To Die”. Til filmen er der sket et par finjusteringer af sangen, der betyder at mellemstykket med White og Keys guitar vs. vokal duel er klippet ud. Koret har fået en mere fyldig lyd. så det skingre nu er væk, og endelig så er nummeret gjort kortere og mere kompakt. Men lige lidt hjælper det, kort og godt fordi sangen fra starten af er dårligt skrevet/komponeret. Og den får på ingen måde den ekstra hjælp den havde brug for via titelsekvensen, der i ”Quantum of Solace” består af et silhuet og sand look, der glider ind og ud af hinanden. I forhold til ”Casino Royale”s flotte og imponerende animerede kort collage må ”Quantum’s” siges at være en temmelig tam affære og kombineret med sangen hersker der ikke nogen tvivl om hos mig om, at dette er noget af det svageste og kedelig jeg har set og hørt.

#97 Tak :) Titelsekvensen ikke er videre fed, men stilmæssigt passer den godt til filmen. Ang. sangen så jeg sgu sige at den er ret fed og iørefaldende på en skæv måde. Den bedste delen af sangen er dog starten, hvor David Arnolds Bond-tema via en brunstig guitar toner frem i stor Dolby-lyd (efter Bond siger goddag til en hvis dansker), som hver gang giver mig et smil på læben. Men om sangen passer til filmen? Det har jeg ikke rigtig overbevist mig selv om endnu :)
