I recognized it even without ever having watched either movie. Carly Simon's song "Nobody Does It Better" kinda took on a life of its own apart from it being the theme for a James Bond movie.
I love the simplicity of watching Bond and Q (his other mentor) drinking coffee together in a fairly quiet moment. It shows that while their relationship may be comical in nature, they still have time for simple cordiality and professionalism in their downtime.
You're right. At this point in the movie, he had not seen Locque up close, so I always thought it was impressive that he could describe him so accurately, especially that he had blue/gray eyes.
@@coolcat6303 Probably just a body shell, as the Aston in the Living Daylights, the BMW in TWINE and the DB5 in Skyfall were in their destruction sequences.
It is the The Spy Who Loved Me theme. The Janitor in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service whistled part of Goldfinger theme as Bond and Draco’ s men walked by as another reference to the series. For Your Eyes Only gave a few references to Bonds past and the films like in the beginning with Bond visiting his wife’s grave. For Your Eyes Only gave a reference to Bernard Lee (M) who had passed away before filming began and give that he is on holiday and left the character out altogether as a tribute to Lee by not recasting the role until Octopussy when Robert Brown took over as M.
Why does everybody think this, and miss the joke? Q enters 5-digits/notes and Bond enters two unnecessary digits/notes making fun of the code. “Shave and a haircut” “Two bits”
For Your Eyes Only is one of my favorite Bond films, because it doesn't involve some crazy plot involving world domination, etc. It's actually a pretty convention spy story where the villain was the KGB. They couldn't make a movie like this today, because (obviously) the USSR is history, and Hollywood doesn't make anything that would potentially get banned from China, so that rules out them as the bad guy.
Yeah. I like almost all the Bond movies and I think the franchise wouldn't be the same without the save-the-world ones, but my favorite are always the ones that get a bit more small scale and close to real espionage. From Russia With Love, For Your Eyes Only, both Dalton ones. Arguably even Casino Royale, since for all the glamor in the end it's just about catching one underworld banker.
I think this is one of my most favourite Bond and Q encounters... It's not often that they have a close proximity encounter for longer than a 30 second gadget pick up. That; "A nose, not a banana; Q." Just makes me laugh so much.
I noticed all of the stuff being tested in the background in most Bond Movies are pretty lethal and straight forward murder machines. Here we see an arm cast a random person could be wearing next to a target that will deliver a deadly blow while on the subway or sitting on a bench, or for a less direct approach, we also see an umbrella that is rigged to kill a target that could be covertly swapped with his own and take him out next time he uses it when it rains. It's like the majority of MI6's missions are for assassinations.
Coffee/tea in dodgy brown mugs brought in on a tray ... "Thank you" [no exchange of glances between bond and Sharon] "Oh thank you Sharon. You can go, I'll lock up." They really pulled out all the stops bringing FYEO back down to earth after Moonraker. Quite nice actually.
@@deepatel123 They kept the slapstick and quippy dialog to a minimum without skimping on the humor. Plus, Stromberg was truly menacing, Jurgens was so damn good in the role.
My general theory is that Q greatly enjoys James' visits, and hustles his staff into position to show off their new stuff when he arrives. "Moneypenny says he just left the office, we have 5 minutes! Clean that up, grab that mannequin, and prepare the fangbrella! Quickly!"
I think it’s actually intended to be the “Shave and a Haircut - Two Bits” melody. Q enters a 5-digit code and Bond adds an unnecessary two digits in reply.
the keypad tones was the first few notes from Nobody Does It Better - FYEO was planned after The Spy Who Loved Me but Moonraker was filmed in response 2 Star Wars Episode IV and CE3K...
My understanding, based on the best available profiling data, is that the killer in that computer rendering is also a massive fan of bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica.
One of SW's greatest characters and he had only about 3 lines an a handful of scenes. You have to credit Lucas for maintaining all the mystery about The Fett over the years.
Know it's a film, but even a detail of a person's eyes and size saying they "were a little greyer and a little smaller" that some detail since he was a quite some meters away from Louque.
For a British character and the old stereotype, this is the only time we actually see Bond (and Q) drink tea. He declined afternoon tea during his first meeting with Drax in Moonraker and he only pours it in The Living Daylights. Usually offered/given coffee in many other films. FRWL “Coffee, medium sweet”. It features with Madeline in NTTD but she isn’t British (French/Scandi).
Surprised M didn't come back with, "The Brussels underworld? Is that even a thing? We are talking about the country that's famous for its waffles and chocolate and not mafia like organizations right?"
03:00-Wait...that sound...that sounds like the buttons of the Decryptor in NightFire! I mean, I doubt it was intentional given it's such a small indistinct noise, but it sounds almost exact!
I love these films but a couple of things struck me. Firstly, the Chief of Staff must have a pretty good memory! Bond could've told him Locque was in any country in the world so was it purely a fluke that the CoS knew the name of their contact in Northern Italy?! Secondly, so Bond drove all the way there in the Lotus??? God I hate being an adult sometimes - I didn't pay any attention to this stuff when I were a kid!!!
007 seems to know exactly which of the unlabeled tape reels on that rack are the "Identograph" program. Then apparently the program is ready a couple seconds after the tape is just dropped into the machine. No loading. Dam those Brit computer whizzes were good! Is the Red Light to help them see the screens or US not to see the special effects doing the graphics? Plus, when Sharon walks in, the rest of the lab is now in Red light as well. ? At 1:48 Q has supposedly just entered enough parameters to get the head shape and hair selected, but on his screen the program is still at "Awaiting Your Command" like it was when it first started. Then at 2:25 Sharon comes in with some coffee and the entire lab is deserted behind them and Q says "You can go, I'll lock up". They have only been in there just over a minute. Did 007 show up RIGHT at closing time? Is Sharon brown-nosing for a promotion staying late and making coffee? 4:00 007 shows up alone... with 2 sets of skis. Although off camera at the time, that ski rack looks like the skis would be scraping the roof when the guy was getting his bags out of the back.
@@christophermatt3000 No, I am just an armchair continuity guy pointing out things I saw through the magic of Pause. I don't have the pressures of time, money, story, schedule, and technological limitations as they did.
Law enforcement/Spy agencies using a character creator prototype actually seems not a super bad idea to help recreate the appearance of a suspect/target. Although with all the surveillance these days probably don't need it. Also probably the kind of evidence they'd throw out in court.
It would be easy to keep track of the details to identify to Locque as James Bond was able to. They shouldn't blame James for mucking it up with Hector Gonzalex getting killed by Melina Havelock, for he didn't know that she would show up there and do that.
Happy Birthday to the Coach of the secretary in the Majesty Intelligent Service that works things out for James Bond in any particular mission he plans to performs in the destination her choose.

Robert Brown made his debut as M in Octopussy. Here, Bond reported to Bill Tanner, M's sort of deputy. The producers weren't ready to replace Bernard Lee at the time, out of respect. Instead, he was said to be on leave.
@@missyadams I love Robert Brown as M. His character was splendid & made a good start in Octopussy which happens to b my favourite bond film of the whole series. But here, Bernard lee should've & would've been M but it's not his fault he had stomach cancer so they made it seem like M was on leave and left the duty to Bill tanner, Chief of Staff. I'm beginning to dislike james villiers as bill tanner. He was pompous slightly arrogant at 0:10 They could've had someone else to play bill tanner instead of this self-righteous piece of shit!

Anyone else notice that the code is “Nobody does it better” from The Spy Who Loved Me?
Mind blown
Damn straight
I've seen this film so many times and never noticed that at all. I thought it was just following up on Moonraker's musical keypad. Great find dude!!!
I recognized it even without ever having watched either movie. Carly Simon's song "Nobody Does It Better" kinda took on a life of its own apart from it being the theme for a James Bond movie.

Bond has goddamn excellent photographic memory to describe Locque's facial details.
There's almost something gay about it.
@@tcaudiobooks737 He appreciates Locque's "full lips"
@@tcaudiobooks737 I don't blame him. Locque is a pretty handsome guy. 😍
Part of the job, he has to be a very meticulous cop in addition to an agent.
You're right. At this point in the movie, he had not seen Locque up close, so I always thought it was impressive that he could describe him so accurately, especially that he had blue/gray eyes.
What makes it even funnier is that Roger would always try to annoy Desmond (Q) on set :D
"I see you managed to get the Lotus back together again"
LOL, I don't think even Q could repair what happened to the last one.
Haha. Yeah the security alarm (explosion) was funny but it was still hard to watch that gorgeous car go up in flames. Especially after so little use.

That was no banana. Nor was the kissy-face ("Whoops!") a coincidence. Wink, wink, wink.
FYI not Q’s fault
Listen carefully to the keypad Bond and Q use. The sound it plays is a rather familiar melody from a certain other Roger Moore film from '77. 8)

“Shave and a haircut”

In Moonraker they play Close Ecounters of The Third Kind as a key code.
You missed the joke.

Roger Moores' second best bond movie after The Spy Who Loved Me - fairly loyal to the short stories Risico and For Your Eyes Only.
I loathed a lot of Moore's Bond movies - Too slapsticky at times. But The Spy Who Loved Me is my favourite Bond film of all time.
What about live and let die? Or octopussy?
AMEN!! TSWLM doesn't get enough recognition as the best of the Moore era! I see people choosing LALD and Moonraker or AVTAK which are among the worst!
