Okay, here's the place to get it off your chest. What little things in the Bond films irritate you? Not the BIG things, I mean the little things - things that are not a big deal, but they just irritate you and you wonder why they did it that way.
Here are some of my irritations... 1. The woman's hands at the start of the Goldfinger title sequence. Her hands look like they belong to a Rugby player. Not pretty at all - the pinky looks like it's been broken a couple of times. 2. The slide whistle in the middle of one of the world's greatest film stunts (the barrel roll in TMWTGG). 3. The fact that the circle of film with Bond walking out never quite matched the circle in the gunbarrel cutout in the early gunbarrel sequences. Is it really THAT hard to make them match up? 4. For that matter, Connery's wobble in his gunbarrel sequence kindof irritates me. 5. The little hop in the pre-Connery gunbarrel sequences. 6. Sheriff Pepper (in both films). What are some of your LITTLE irritations - your little pet pieves?  DADDY BOND? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT LOTS OF KIDS. . .005 OF THEM!
I enjoy Bond, but Bond's not my life. . . |

-The fact that Bond isn't perfectly centered in the gun barrel in the early Connery films.
-That some of the vehicle chase scenes go on so long they lose my attention. -The witless one-liners in the Brosnan era. |

The big irritations are pretty universal. It's harder to pick little pet peeves, but here we go:-
Koskov not getting killed on screen in TLD Slide whistle in TMWTGG Blofeld not being shown clearly dead at the end of DAF Graves being the bad guy in DAD, rather than a Korean actor. --DaveBond21--
Ah, Mr Bond, perhaps you would like to make love to my mistress before I have you killed? Muhhahhh....ha ha ha ha....... |

When Brosnan walks/runs down the stairs at the very beginning of GoldenEye - always looked very posey and camp to me.

Hey, Dave Bond, I did a fun edit on my computer where I cut out the scene where he jumps out of the truck and the end result is "BOOM!", it looks just like he was killed in the truck and never got out. Much more dramatic and he had it coming. DADDY BOND? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT LOTS OF KIDS. . .005 OF THEM!
