My SKYFALL

I saw ''SKYFALL'' yesterday...so I'll tell ya a thing or two that I liked a lot.




All the things I loved though:

1. The big use of original James Bond soundtrack....just made it so much better...can't show it here though. -.-




[Sadly I can't show you the music video from the beginning of the movie either....that one was really cool with all the graphic design and everything]


2. All the amazing scenery and sites they used...Scotland, China, London...

3. And of course the Skyfall mansion

4. The Bond' girl's (aka Berenice Marlohe) beautiful hair

5. The fact that not everything turned out soooo perfect like it always does in Bond movies...things and plans AND 007 failed but it still showed how to come out of all that crap. And how 007 is not always young enough and in flawless shape.

6. Those AWESOME dragons :D

You have to watch the movie for them cuz Bond won a fight thanks to the two dragons. xD


7. The underwater scene...

8. The funny gay scene between Mr. Silva and Mr. Bond xD

And for that I give you 8 fun facts about the movie:

1. M’s house in the film is the former home of the legendary Bond composer John Barry. Filmmakers thought it would be a lovely tribute to the late composer, who passed away in 2011.

2. Multiple British rally car champion Mark Higgins, was Naomie Harris’ driving stunt double for wide-angle shots of the Land Rover weaving through traffic.

3. It took 9 weeks and 250 crew to build the underground MI6 Headquarters on the 007 stage.

4. Bond’s tie had to be weighted for the motorbike chase. The weight kept the tie from flying around when he drove at high speeds.

5. Coca Cola was sprayed on the tarmac of the streets in Istanbul to keep the bikes from sliding.

6. In order to film the chase in Istanbul, the production team had to remove the existing tiles from the bazaar and replace them with rubber tiles just in case the stunt didn’t go as planned. Once the filming was finished the original tiles were then put back in place.

7. Stunt Coordinator, Gary Powell, comes from a dynasty of stuntmen.  Between them, the Powell family have covered every James Bond film since DR NO in 1962.  His father, Nosher Powell, and uncle Dinny, worked on all the Connery and Lazenby films, his brother Greg worked on all the Moore and Dalton films, and Gary has worked on all the Brosnan and Craig Bond films to date.

8. Undergoing weapons training, the cast went through 200,000 rounds of ammunition.


Hope you enjoyed!
