India - the hunt for Bond showed all sorts of crazy animals


He runs through a huge spider nest, smashes a spider the size of his hand, then a tiger jumps at him, then a huge snake crawls over him, then he falls in a puddle and gets a leech on his chest. All in five minutes. Not to mention being hunted by men riding freakin' elephants. Loved it.

think the jungle scene was somewhat inspired by the Raiders jungle opening just 2 years before

And a crocodile was after him in the lake

reply

That wasn’t a real crocodile, it was a fake one made by Q branch, seriously do you even pay attention? We even see the mechanical crocodile in Q’s lab in Die Another Day.

reply

Yes, but in the lake in that scene, it was a real croc. I know more than most everyone else when it comes to James Bond. You should agree with me, rather than dispute my post

reply

No the crocodile in the lake was the fake crocodile provided by Q branch. You’re wrong again.

reply

Q was no where near Kamals palace when Bond escaped to the jungle. Bond met up with Q way after the jungle scene. You keep forgetting. I know more about James Bond than anyone else

reply

Um, we see Q’s laboratory in India before Bond goes to Kamal’s palace. The crocodile was the mechanical crocodile.

reply

If anything, the tiger was a mechanical one, since no real tiger would ever sit like the one did in the movie. The croc was real though. In fact, it was the same croc that killed the guy when Bond and that thug fell into the water after fighting in Octopussys place. Bond was able to sneak away in his mechanical croc. I told you. I know more than anyone else when it comes to James Bond

reply

I don’t recall Q branch ever producing a mechanical tiger, now you’re just being silly
