Definitely the one I watched most as a kid. Probably then overtaken by Goldfinger.
ReplyDeleteSweet Christ this song is like my ears grew balls and Lulu decided to jump up and down on them.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha
DeleteAnd a theme loaded with innuendo!
ReplyDeleteQuality 'Allo Allo' French accent there.
ReplyDeleteChrist, working in that wonky boat must be like working inside a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteThere is some ferocious hair in this!
ReplyDelete"Phuyuck?!"
ReplyDeleteDames. Never do as they're told. End up causing trouble.
ReplyDeleteWho'd have thought they'd have spotted being followed by a bright red car weaving wildly all over the road.
ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest stunts of all time and they put a fucking slide whistle over the top of it. Bourne wouldn't stand for that.
ReplyDeleteFirst car stunt designed and calculated by computer. And considering it was 1974 and probably a sinclair zx81 it's a wonder everyone in a 1/4 mile radius wasn't killed.
ReplyDelete"This is the bit where your seaplane lands Roger, if you could just bounce in your seat a bit, that would be splendid."
ReplyDeleteMother of God, what a jacket!
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't really be laughing at Goodnight pointing out Scaramanga's junk, but there you go.
ReplyDeleteApart from contracting ear AIDS during the opening credits that was surprisingly enjoyable...despite its own best efforts at times! Lots of 'almost favourites' the list hasn't changed...
