:That's not A View to a Kill. I think you're thinking of the music video for Fatboy Slim's single Weapon of Choice. K1Bond007 02:37, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Walken

message: I was the one who originally put in the trivia item about Living Daylights being written for Roger Moore. Although it may not be true I have seen this mentioned in a reference book on the Bond movies. Darned if I can remember which one -- possibly James Bond: The Legacy or perhaps even Benson's Bedside Companion. I think it was also mentioned during some behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of Living Daylights. 23skidoo 20:53, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I can tell you right now, it's false :) Moore retired in '85 and the first draft (there were 6 overall) of TLD is dated '86. Furthermore, the first draft of The Living Daylights was a "Bond Begins" treatment that saw Bond as a young lieutenant in the Royal Navy. This whole idea, inronically being talked about now for Casino Royale, was rejected by Broccoli who stated that the general audience didn't want to see Bond starting out; they wanted the older/professional James Bond that everyone knows and loves. The treatments that were along the lines of the finished script were written for a "generic" James Bond. LTK and GoldenEye were written for Dalton. K1Bond007 21:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is this in the TLD article? It should be -- cool info. If I can track down the book that had the earlier information, I might put it back, if only to indicate that it has been debunked. I wish I could remember the book where I read that stuff about Moore. It was hardcover and it was a book on the Bond movies... methinks a trip to my public library is in my near future. 23skidoo 00:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Living Daylights script

message: I chose to remove the recent "Ready to retire"-related edits for several reasons. For one, there's no reason to place this at the very beginning of the article, plus the quotes included were not cited or sourced. The image uploaded (which appears to show Patrick Macnee and Roger Moore walking down a road but to be honest the image was so tiny I could barely recognize them) does not appear to meet the Fair Use criteria that Wikipedia is using for images. Obviously the content added hasn't been permanently deleted and can be recovered from the History, but if restored it needs to formatted properly and sourced. 23skidoo 21:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looked to be a copyvio, too. Written by a newspaper - or with a newspaper tone. Maybe a fan site or something. I agree with removing it. I think if the information can be properly cited then it can be included somewhere - certainly not at the top though. K1Bond007 21:24, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The photo also appears here http://www.swindonweb.com/guid/renault.htm - "the Bond movie A View to A Kill featuring Roger Moore and Patrick Macnee was filmed at the Renault Building in 1983".  also http://www.swindonweb.com/guid/connbond0.htm -- Beardo 05:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Moore didn't actually start filming till August 1984, but I guess that's beside the point. K1Bond007 05:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ready to retire edits

message: On July 22nd as split tag   was placed in this article.  Not a bad idea overall; if someone is willing to do the work, I’d support, but...  Lacking any discussion pro or con for over 40 days, the recommendation is considered to have failed due to lack of support/interest.  Skål - Williamborg (Bill) 04:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: In the scene where Stacey Sutton realizes Zion's plan, she is shown walking without panties on and only wearing shirts. The pubic hair is visible to the camera. It is the scene where Stacey says, "I have to stop Zion". Should we put this into the Trivia section? lol.  Reinn 06:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: GA fail

message: This article states that the film was a commercial success, but the soundtrack article states that it "underperformed commercially" (the movie itself, not the soundtrack). Which is correct? Cerdic 01:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Commercial Success 

message: *For the casting section, are the mentions of David Bowie and Sting included in the last reference. Even if they are it would be best to cite them multiple times because to me that seemed unbelievable. Also need to cite the quote.

*The Max Zorin photo needs correct fair use rationales and may need to be removed from some other articles.

Besides those it looks good. T Rex | talk 05:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements. Please comment at the corresponding section within the image cleanup listing. Before contributing the discussion, please first read WP:FILMNFI concerning non-free images. Ideally the discussions pertaining to the spotlight articles will be concluded by the end of June, so please comment soon to ensure there is clear consensus. --Happy editing!

message: Any reason why Mary Stavin isn't mentioned as being the Bond girl inn the teaser?  I ask wondering if the consensus is to leave the teaser girl out of the articles.  For some of the movies, she's not included while others do list them.  --172.72.47.40 (talk) 17:58, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Who was that drunken man in the crowd? Why did he get so much focus on? Was he some famous person or a member of the filming group?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.190.161.115 (talk) 13:00, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean the guy who nearly drops his bottle when Bond is coming down with Sutton?  IMO he's just there to heighten the suspense. He's not listed anywhere that I can find - IMDB, Allmovie, Rotten Tomatoes, etc.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 13:27, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
