"What a view..."

"...to a kill."

It probably is, but its Walken so I can't hate it. His Zorin was one of my favourite Bond villains ever. So psychotically disinterested.

 

[biggersmaller]

I'm honestly not sure what the absolute worst was, but I'm almost certain it was uttered by Pierce Brosnan. God, his Bond films were just terrible. Not his fault I don't think. But they were unbelievably bad in retrospect.

He didn't write the script, but Brosnan's Bond was utter shit. He could not pull-off mugging for the camera, but he was always doing it. His jokes were delivered as-if to pause for a canned laugh track.

*slide whistle noise as Roger Moore barrel rolls over broken bridge*

If a time machine is invented, I want to go back to the editing suite for Man with the Golden Gun, and slap the guy who says "You know how we can improve this scene?"

I think I need a video link.

 

[Lashley]

The World is Not Enough:

"The world is not enough."

I thought it was just delivered very poorly.

"Foolish sentiment."

"Family motto"

Bad ass my friend, bad ass.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I think I need a video link.

Enjoy!

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Are you hoping for a glimmer?

Ugh, just terrible.

I was going to mention that scene, too. Worse than any bad line. That fucking slide whistle.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Are you hoping for a glimmer?

Ugh, just terrible.

I have to honestly ask: In the history of cinema, has there ever been anyone more miscast than Denise Richards in this film?

Hit. Nail. Head. Agreed.

 

[Windam]

This whole exchange is fucking stupid:

"Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?"
"You think we better, huh?"
"No, just different. Like Peking duck is different from Russian caviar. But I love them both."
"Darling, I give you very best duck."

...

 

[Stinkles]

Who gif'd my whole life?

"there's a fly in his soup!"

A man just died Bond you asshole

 

[RadioHeadAche]

From Die Another Day

Rosamund Pike: "I take it Mr. Bond has been explaining his big bang theory"

Halle Barry: "yeah I think I got the thrust of it"

It is not even the lines so much just the whole delivery and reactions are so bad, I actually like Die Another Day more than most.

Me too. It seems to almost revel in the stupid tropes of the Bond films, which is why I enjoy it.

 

[The Faceless Master]

For me, it has to be from The World is Not Enough, after bond screws Denise Richards:

"I thought Christmas only comes once a year."

I still remember watching the film in theaters and hearing the entire audience groan when he said that line.

What is yours?

"I don't know any doctor jokes."

same movie.

 

[Exterminieren]

"I don't know any doctor jokes."

same movie.

That line would have been an OK little joke, had they left it at that.

They did not leave it at that.

 

[Lach]

Probably not the worst, but really weird.
In Octopussy there is a scene where Bond encounters a Tiger and tells it "Sit!". In the german dub of this movie he says: "Du gehört in den Tank!" (You belong in the (gas) tank). Which was a reference to a slogan of Esso (european division of Exxon) "The tiger in the tank". So its a product placement that's only in the german dub.

"I bet this never happened to the other guy"
Breaking the fourth wall in OHMSS still makes
me mad.

fucking awful

That movie is such a wreck, how does it have any fans.

 

[brotherbean]

Casino Royale is probably one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time, but this line destroys me every time I watch it:

I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me.

Cold-hearted, cocky-as-the-day-is-long super spy James Bond lets lose with the cheesiest pseudo-romantic garbage pair of sentences I've ever heard. It's jarringly bad.

 

[ascii42]

"I don't know any doctor jokes."

same movie.

That switcheroo kind of fits Bond, I'd say.

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

Q: "Don't touch that! That's my lunch!"

 

[strobogo]

Q: "Don't touch that! That's my lunch!"

That line was dope. Q dropping a joke after like 20 movies of "Don't touch that! It's a *gadgety gadget gadget* of increasingly ridiculous forms only for this sandwich to actually be his lunch and not some wacky contraption was great.

 

[speculawyer]

It probably is, but its Walken so I can't hate it. His Zorin was one of my favourite Bond villains ever. So psychotically disinterested.

He was a decent Bond Villain. Plus he had Grace Jones as a heavy.

And bonus points because his evil plan was to flood Silicon Valley.


But it was a pretty schlocky Bond movie during the campy Moore era.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

I never miss.

I love this one. Something very understated about it.

 

[SapientWolf]

So Austin Powers seems like less and less of a parody with every line.

 

[E-Cat]

"I bet this never happened to the other guy"
Breaking the fourth wall in OHMSS still makes me mad.

Oh shit, I never realized that.

I, honest to God, thought it was a reference to Cinderella--which is stupid, because it's EXACTLY what happens to the other fella: girl drops her shoe(s) and runs away. Double fail.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

"And I thought Christmas only came once a year."

Yeah, I get that it was supposed to be an origin story of how James turned into the ass he is, but the whole romance sequence was just not very good and this was easily the worst part of it.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Quantum of Solace, just awful.

Made worse by the fact it's sandwiched between two great movies. Like a burger with good tasty buns and a turd in the middle instead of actual quality meat.

 

[Betta Lines]

"I wasn't using that one either".

This line ruined Skyfall for me, even before the song showed up.
