[Speed Tracer]

When I read the thread title I started singing to myself.

I got a fever
Got a permanent disease
And it'll take more than a doctor
To prescribe a remedy
And I got all the symptoms
Count 'em 1 2 3

[Kimp the Shrimp]

sorry to hear


but when i'm sick Cowbell always cures me

[Speed Tracer]

Am I the only one who still really likes Bon Jovi?

[Ilikemuppets]

Well, he just sold his 100,000,00th album a long time ago, so I highly doubt that.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

this is obscure but i woke up this morning with Disco Fever and Johnny Fever is eating my frosted flakes

[Ilikemuppets]

I was just whatching The Disco Frog yeesterday and it was so cool!

[muppet baby]

[Teheheman]

Daniel

[muppet baby]

[Speed Tracer]

[muppet baby]

[lael]

How cold you not?! I love all incarnations of FEVER!

[Frogster]

Fellas, when we're done here, ya'll be wearing gold-plated diapers!

[travellingpat]

Guys next time you watch this sketch....watch Christopher Walkin back when hes in the booth behind the dark glass....hes cracking up its very funny

[Gonzo14]

i would definitely recommend seeing the SNL Best of Christopher Walken, and Tom Hanks too

[lael]

Christopher Walken is the greatest... why you ask? because he scurrs me alil.

[anytimepally]

He was also a decent Bond villain.. granted, in the movie I believe to be the worst Bond movie.. but just think how bad it would've been without him!

[redBoobergurl]

Christopher Walkin is a talented genius! Have you ever seen the video for Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim? It's awesome.

Will Ferrell is pretty much the only one who holds it together in this skit I think. Too funny. Cowbell is my favorite of all time.

[Winslow Leach]

I think Walken was wasted in A View to a Kill. He'd make a great Bond villain, and he has his moments in AVTAK, but the script really lets him down.

And as much as I like him, Roger Moore was waaaaaaay past his prime in this one. I remember a quote from a review of the film: "Roger Moore is not only long in the tooth--he's got tusks!" Even Moore admitted this was one Bond film too many. He originally wanted to leave after For Your Eyes Only, but was lured back for Octopussy (James Brolin screen-tested for this one; you can see the test on the DVD). Then after Octopussy he planned to quit. But was lured back once again.

But Walken is a multi-talented performer who also sings and dances (as he's done several times on SNL). Check out his performance in Pennies From Heaven. It's great!

[Winslow Leach]

One more thing about A View to a Kill...

Tanya Roberts.

Worst. Bond girl. Ever.

[Winslow Leach]

The "Cowbell" sketch is one of the better SNL moments from the last 10 years.

They tried to get Dalton for A View to a Kill first, but he was unavailable, as was Pierce Brosnan, who they also went after, so Roger Moore ended up being the third choice for the movie, and he was right about being too old.. I thought he was too old for Octopussy myself.. but, yeah, the script and his age combined to make this the worst Bond movie, IMO

can't argue with that either

[anytimepally]

He's just wonderful in Around the Bend (as Michael Caine's son, no less) if you're looking for a new movie to see.. and he's also rumored to be playing Ozzy Osbourne in an upcoming film

The producers wanted to cast Dalton as early as 1968 when Connery left, but at 22, Dalton felt he was too young for the part and declined.

And of course, Brosnan was almost hired for The Living Daylights, as his series Remington Steele had just ended. But once the producers of the TV series got wind of Brosnan about to sign for Bond, they hastily brought the show back, and bound him to a contract he couldn't get out of.

Who, Roger Moore?

;)

I heard about the Ozzy film, but had no idea Walken was considered. Wow!!

accorrding to the DVD, the producers had all agreed on Sam Neill for The Living Daylights once Brosnan couldn't do it.. all except Albert Broccolli, who was the only one who mattered, and the delay while they were considering Neill allowed Dalton to finish filming Brenda Star so that he was free to play James Bond, and since Broccolli'd been trying to get him since The Lion in Winter (my all-time favorite movie, by the way), he got the job

Yeah, isn't Neill's screen test included on The Living Daylights DVD?

I really wish Dalton made a 3rd Bond film...it was announced for release in 1991. But the producers were involved with some messy legal issues that kept 007 off the screen for so long, that by the time the franchise started up again, Dalton was off doing other things.

well winslow leach, i totally agree with you about Dolton he will always be james bond to me .
i wish that he would have contenued with the contract instead of taking the scarlett film that really was not a true sequal to Gone with the wind .

The point that i am trying to make buy saying that is the fact that he was such a great bond that is him all of the way .
:)

[anytimepally]

he's my favorite Bond as well.. it's good to know I'm not the only one! :)

Yes, despite a lot of controversy, Timothy Dalton is an excellent Bond. Despite what some critics and audiences said, Dalton's Bond films did make money and were successful. Again, he wasn't fired from the role for being "unpopular." He didn't quit because he thought the role was beneath him. It's just that, as a working actor, he didn't have six years (the time between the release of Licence to Kill and GoldenEye) to wait for the producers and their legal troubles to be solved. In fact, if you read interviews with Dalton between 87-89, he'll say what a dream come true it was to play a childhood hero, and how he went back to the original books to create his Bond. He also did many of his own stunts in both films. So he was clearly glad to play the role; it just wasn't in the cards for him to continue. Although, I have to say, I enjoyed his bad guy character in The Rocketeer, which came out the summer the next Bond film should have come out.

[Winslow Leach]

he's my favorite Bond as well.. it's good to know I'm not the only one! :)

Yep, he's one of my favorites too. Like George Lazenby, Dalton has a love/hate among fans. Most either like him or don't. There's no real middle ground. If you check out commanderbond.net (one of the best 007 pages out there, IMHO), you'll find forums dedicated solely to Dalton and his two films.

Wow yes i do remember reading some of those intervewiws that he gave about playing his childhood hero , i was so glad to know that it made it seem more to me that he was the best bond .

tim was so great in the part, it was to bad though that he could not wait with the legal juck going on but i undertand that , if i was him i would have done the same thing .
you never know what can happen to you in Hollywood you have to careful with the chioices that you make there .
