Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 oooooooook, whatever.EDIT: in this wikipedia page it puts clearly what i mean: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Veh%C3%ADculos_de_James_BondJames bond/Mi6 owned cars are a majority Aston martins while the other cars in the film are rented, bond is a passenger or the car is obtained on the street.Sorry it is in spanish ,but if you put it in english, it is so detailed in every car model that a comprenhensive car like this is not there.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I read the one in English, and regardless of ownership Bond drives a hell of a lot more cars than the aston martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 yeah but the ones he owns or are provided by the MI6 are AM in thier majority.Of course he has droven other cars, he usually destroys the AM BTW, these cars are main 'advertising' items like watches, cellphones etc... to in that regard, the aston martin (and its owner company, Ford cars take a prominent importance in the films.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I never had any problem with the Q transition, aside from the original guy passing away. He was only credited as R in World is Not Enough since Bond jokingly calls him that. He was the new Q.New new Q looks cool. So we'll actually get scenes where Bond is introduced to gadgets that will clearly become handy and pivotal in situations over the course of the movie? It'll probably be toned down, but that's a classic Bond running gag of sorts. Q's scenes were typically among the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks for reminding me! Finally had a chance to watch the trailer - both versions - with sound. I am very excited for the film, it looks great, and a huge step in the right direction after QOSBetween the two trailers, I thought the US one was far better, being better organized in terms of the order it showed the scenes and explained the plot. The only thing it was missing was the Bond... James Bond delivery so you do need to watch both versions to get all the new footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Watching the iMAX trailer clearly he is called Q, so anyone that is bothered by that can stop.As for Bond's car, Moore had a Lotus for two films, and Brosnan a BMW for three. We didn't even see an Aston Martin after On Her Majesty's Secret Service until The Living Daylights. So Bond has never been an Aston only guy. The DB5 only popped up again in GoldenEye because of the six year break and the producers wanted to show familiar images to fans.The new movie itself looks like the film we should have gotten after Royale. QoS had some good ideas, but Forster handled the editing very poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Watching the iMAX trailer clearly he is called Q, so anyone that is bothered by that can stop.The thing with Q is that it's just a designation - Quartermaster, right? Same with M, so there should have never been any attempt to explain a change in actor since it's merely a job title at MI6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycket 36 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well, the old Q was still on the job in TWINE so having his eventual replacement called R was a nice little joke while at the same time setting up Cleese to be Q in the next film, which he was. The actor had been a part of the franchise so long, that they wanted to give him a proper send off as Major Boothroyd left his position and was replaced by a new man on the job. I don't think R was anymore than Bond's jab at him rather than an official job title.Whislaw's a very good actor so it will be interesting to see him and his interplay with Bond.
