Unless I am mistaken, the Ursus figure is closer to Urko's uniform, from the T.V. series.

GOLDFINGER perfected the formula, and no Bond film since has ever gotten all the ingredients mixed to such perfection as they were in GOLDFINGER.

But, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is probably the best Bond film because it's the lest ludicrous.  YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE is especially ludicrous.  I love the movie, but it's got lapses in logic that you could fly a volcano through.

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER is rather trite and more than a little tired.

For once I agree with you 100%.

One thing I've noticed about the POTA films versus most other movie
series, is that in most series the sequels use the same formats &
formulas as the original. This is true of series from Andy Hardy to
Tarzan to Bond to Star Wars, Indiana Jones & Star Trek. While there
are upgrades in technology & special effect over the years the same
elements remain.
POTA on the other hand breaks these tenants of most film series.
Each film is very different than the ones that came before it. They
each have their own look & style. I think that is one of the
strengths of the series.

I would tend to agree although the TV series can be put into the movies
timeline without much interference to continuity. I get the feeling
that what the producers were aiming for.

That's true. Urko & Ursus are often interchanged. Although Ursus was a

Yes, they will be able to also play regular DVDs, since most stuff will be on regular DVD for a while, perhaps as long as another five to ten years.<.html <.html

Oh HELL no.  I don't even count it as a Bond film.

James Bond getting married, and then going nuts

when his wife is killed.  Thank God Connery didn't

do it.  It's so out of character for James Bond it's

laughable!  Though if he were going to hang up

his shoulder holster, Mrs Peel is the one to do it for.

Sean Connery didn't want to do any more Bond films, after five of them,
and said he never would, which is why they went to George
Lazenby...Then they lured him back for "Diamonds Are Forever"; and he
said he would never, never do another James Bond again -- which is
where they got the title for "Never Say Never Again", the last Bond
film he did...

I don't count Never Say Never Again either -- for two reasons.

A. It wasn't done by Bond producer Saltzman & Broccoli.

 

And B.  Because of this they couldn't get the rights to the

Bond Theme Music by Monty Norman.  Can't have a real

James Bond movie without it.  Besides, it's a remake of

an original James Bond film, Connery's favorite, Thunderball.

Mike Douglas was a talk show host during the '60s & '70s. He had an
afternoon talk show that began around 4:00 or 4:30, perfect time for
school kids just getting home. Because he was on in the afternoon and
not on against Carson; his show was able to get a lot of big time
celebrities.

The earlier draft of The Legacy, Second Family, on Hunter's site, is a
glimpse of a grittier tv series.Urko/Ursus is a true thug and the
dynamic between him a Zaius is really strong.There's also a new slant
on Arn, and, pssibly, a less upbeat ending--definitely worth a look.
John, Scrolls.

Nice try James, but we're still not returning those polaroids! John.

Mike Douglas was a very popular talk show/variety host during the
sixties and seventies, right up there with Merv Griffin...This was
before Oprah, and even before Phil Donahue...

I must be a lowest Common Denominator here, but I liked (to different degrees) all five Apes films. In order of preference they are:

 

Planet

Conquest

Escape

Beneath

Battle (Uncut)

 

I don't look for deep philosophy from the sequels, just enjoyment and that's what I got. The original is a classic and should be in a time capsule somewhere but the sequels (which Fox should have put more money into) are fun, timeless movies. At least for me.

Disagree. It was very close to the book. And it's one of my favorite Bonds. I think Fleming was going to try and end the series. I wish I could get this on DVD.

You should definitely read it. It's a good fast and fun read (and better than the Battle adaptation which uses an earlier script). I saw a lot of Monster Times on Ebay the other day...

OHMSS is one of the best Bonds, which of course isn't saying much for the post-Connery Bonds.

As for getting it on DVD, well it's been out for some time, but all the Bonds are being re-released on disc in November, remastered in two-disc special editions.

I agree completely.  On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of my favorite non-Connery bonds.  Although, technically it's not a post Connery bond since Sean came back to do at least one or two movies SINCE Lazenby (with or without Never Say Never).  He's more in the middle of the Connery run, than at the end of it.

The sequels are great fun, I agree. My preference ranking would have
Beneath up with Planet. Not because I think Beneath is a better film
but it is the only sequel that take place on the world of the
original.
Conquest would be my pick for second best. Many people consider
Escape second best but it looks too much like a TV movie to me. I
feel like the original Conquest is the one film that can truely
stand on its own and be enjoyed without seeing one of the other
films.
In the ads for Conquest, FOX included the words "ALL NEW". Now this
is very true of the film. Unlike the other sequels no clips from
prior films were used. Nor were any costumes or sets. In fact only
one prop from a previous film was used. Does anyone know what that
was?

A photo and John Randolph voice clip from the Presidential Commision's
order in Breck's office I think counts as a clip from another film.

Caesar's long stares that provoked ape misbehavior was another hint.

To some extent, I guess Brent used his power for opposite reasons,
staring to calm the humans in the cage....

The clip of John Randolph was filmed new for Conquest it is not a pick-
up from Escape. The photo of Cornelius is stretching the point a bit.

OK Since no one else has answered:

1. Paul Dehn co-wrote the screenplay of Goldfinger (ever wonder where he got the ending of BATTLE from).
2. Norman Burton who played the Hunt Leader in Planet, an Army General in Escape and Galen's father in the TV series also played Felix Leiter in Diamonds Are Forever (co-starring with Bruce Cabot who played Jack Driscoll in the original King Kong).

Another 'sort of' connection is John Huston who played M in the Bond spoof Casino Royale.

Keep in mind that many of the people here don't live in the U.S. Did
Mike Douglas make it to UK TV? Did Merv Griffin? Did Phil Donahue?
I have no idea, but I doubt it.

Never heard of Merv Griffin---but in asking I acknowledged my
inadequacy.As Confucius said, it is better to be ignorant and ask
questions, than to ask no questions and stay ignorant forever.Not
totally sure why you feel the need to be so abrasive and frankly,
insulting over what was a fun discussion--I'm glad it was me, and not
somebody who might be offended.This is meant to be a fun group and I
enjoy it a lot.I'm not sure I need to be told to learn about the past--
I've got exams in history, European and Classical, I have a Diploma in
Classical studies and a Law Degree, as well as being a published author
on Irish and Roman archaeology.I'm on the committee for my local
history group and a trustee for my local museum---I admit that Merv
Griffin didn't figure large in all those studies, that's why I ask
questions if I don't know the answers.John, Scrolls.

Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to open you mouth

I wasn't referring to the Conelius photo. I mistakenly thought they

photo with voiceover. Wow. You're absolutely right. All New. Great
