SciCast Notes:
Aw, it’s such a shame about the sound on this — I’ve cleaned it up as best I can, but a few of the lines are still rather hard to hear.
Otherwise, it’s a terrific film. Ridiculous concept, some terrific little touches, and somebody walking around with badminton racquets on their feet. Genius, love it.
Low points? I’ve never been a fan of casual gun use (just me, or is that a bit gratuitous?), but that’s about it.
The original version of this film had an hilarious Jewish jazz/rock version of the James Bond theme over the end, but sadly we had to remove it — it really added to the film, but of course even though the recording was available, the music itself is still copyright Monty Norman. There is no escape from music licensing, even for Bond.
