Bond films seem to be getting more and more action/special effects orientated, and less of the clever thinking spy with a smart mouth. I dont mean to start the "old arguement" but they seem to be getting more American and less British by the film. Mind you, playing to your largest audience always makes sound economic sense!

My personal helicopter manoeuvre favourite is the Squirrel in a recent Bond flim (Tomorrow Never Dies??) that parks itself vertically nose down and uses the rotor disc to chop all sorts of things up as it slowly progresses toward the heros. Surely you would get a sore neck from looking up through the overhead window wouldn't you?
