The 11th ''[[James Bond (
The movie was blatantly made to cash in on the science fiction craze that ''[[Star Wars]]'' had started<ref> How blatantly? The end credits of the older Bond movies always announced the title of the next one in the series. The previous movie, ''[[
Still, that laser and its [[Infinite Ammo]] can come in handy when you unlock it as a cheat in the N64 game ''[[
----
=== This film contains examples of: ===
Line 33:
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Chang, by falling into and impaling a piano.
* [[The Dragon]]: Chang, then Jaws
* [[Dressing
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: Drax's launch facility in the Amazon jungle.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]
Line 43:
* [[Gadget Watches]]: With explosives.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "I think he's attempting re-entry, sir!"
** As well as naming a character '''[[Punny Name|Holly Goodhead]]'''. Somewhere between [[Goldfinger
* [[Giant Mook]]: Jaws
* [[Good Hair, Evil Hair]]: Hugo Drax's goatee
Line 50:
** [[Crazy Prepared|Or perhaps he anticipated that might happen...]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Jaws
* [[Hoist
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Dr. Holly Goodhead, who gets bonus points for being close to Bond's age.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Jaws and Dolly
Line 66:
* [[Made of Iron]]: Jaws
* [[Mayincatec]]: Drax's base... in [[The Amazon]], [[You Fail History Forever|where said civilizations never stepped foot.]]
* [[Meet the New Boss]]: Drax is very similar to Stromberg from ''[[
** While true, there are a few differences, and he's arguably a lot more sinister and dangerous. Stromberg is more or less an [[Orcus
* [[Meganekko]]: Dolly
* [[Minion Shipping]]: Jaws and Dolly
Line 84:
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: One of the most criticised aspects of the movie was how easy it was for the United States to launch a space shuttle with only a few hours notice. Except that this was during the height of the space race, and NASA was expected to have at least one orbital space mission a month. Thus, depending on how close they were to the next launch, its quite possible that a shuttle was indeed prepped enough to pull this off.
* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: It's [[In Name Only|so unrelated]] to the novel it received a [[Novelization]].
* [[Recycled in Space]]: ''Literally''. [[The Spy Who Loved Me
** Yet the latter film is considered one of the best in the series and of the Moore era, while this one is mostly reviled.
** And annoyingly enough, both steal from ''[[
*** Gilbert admits this in the "Spy Who Loved Me" DVD "making of" featurette.
* [[Safecracking]]: Bond opens the safe in Drax's headquarters with an X-ray device.
Line 96:
* [[Sic Em]]: "Look after Mr Bond. See that some harm comes to him."
** Not to mention poor [[Women in Refrigerators|Corrine]]...
* [[Songs in
* [[Space Is Noisy]]
* [[Space Marines]]: Apparently, NASA keeps a shuttle load of U.S. Marines on standby [[Crazy Prepared|just in case.]]
Line 103:
* [[Story-Boarding the Apocalypse]]: Provides the page quote. See also [[New Era Speech]] above.
* [[Take the Wheel]]: Jaws and some mooks are chasing Bond in a speedboat when Jaws takes the wheel a little too literally.
* [[Tap
* [[Thrown Out the Airlock]]: Bond does this to {{spoiler|Drax after shooting him with a wrist-dart}}.
* [[Trapped in Containment]]: Happens to two of Drax's scientists.
