    I don't think I've ever seen health advice given in such an agressive way!

    Not sure there is going to be another one as unintentionally hilarious as this for a while.

    "Do you always wear a parachute when flying a plane"
    "Erm, yeah. It's good for back support. Just get comfy"

    I'm getting the impression that Tanaka gets paid more than M. And M doesn't have a ninja training school.

      M could take tips on being more of a wind-up merchant, as well.

    Tiger: You have to marry an Ama girl.
    Bond: Is she pretty?
    Tiger: She has a face like a pig.

    Majestic! Presumably not sexiful either.

    I had to sit through 5 minutes of a tedious wedding scene. A wedding that has been completely pointless. Very strange story decision.

    "Remove his helmet" Jesus, Blofeld doesn't play about.

    Worst one for me so far. Had a lot of the elements I like about Bond films but some of the other stuff was just awful. Wedding and 'ninja training' was a real slog to get through.
