Max Von Sydow is closest to the hidden Blofeld of “Thunderball” and “From Russia With Love.” Resonant voice and the slender hands. It’s fun to see him listen to Largo’s plan while kissing the cat!
Look how elegant the film is. Beautifully figured out and shot. Attention to performance. Subtle little soundtrack cues. Quieter scenes that aren't just there to link action set-pieces but sustain and build dramatic tension. And genuinely funny in places. No wonder the public was confused! 😆

@@andya.4253 Well yeah I mean Christoph Waltz sucked as Blofeld. Terrible version. Sydow is the best 'face' of Blofeld after Pleasance and Savalas. Hell, I wouldn't put up a fuss if someone said Sydow was their favourite Blofeld. He's really great in the little screentime he has.
"Pretty good"? "Marvelous" like its synonyms in the Oxford Dictionary (awesome, breathtaking, sensational to name a few) are more adequate to describe his performance. He was just perfect in every role he ever played.
In Thunderball, Blofeld himself was referred to as "Number One", but in this film (essentially a Thunderball remake) his highest ranking lieutenant has that title.
Max Von Sydow was a perfect choice for Ernst Stavro Blofeld. That is one thing I wish the actual franchise did was find one single actor (Donald Pleasance, Telly Savalas or Charles Gray) to remain as the head character of SPECTRE. I kind of wish they retained Donald Pleasance as Blofeld. But Max Von Sydow was a perfect choice and perhaps the best for the role and to stay in that role. Either him or Pleasance...
100% agree with your comment! Eon Profuctions shouldve just stuck with just 1 Blofeld ...Donald Pleasance in the original franchise. This Blofeld is also very good as was Charles Gray was great.
But then we would have never had Dr. Loomis as we know him today without Donald Pleasance not playing Blofeld. I like Waltz as Blofeld and Max Von Sidow.
Yeah it rlly kind of went downhill from Fatima Blush’s death. She was a kickass character and her death followed a kickass chase scene. After that it was mostly just a huge shootout, still a rlly fun film.
@@GuineaPigEveryday NSNA always seems to me a film that had the brakes pressed throughout. . A scene would build up and then little would happen or it was just too easy for bond to handle.
If Spectre needed a "cruel mistress" to take control over Jack Petachi, why did they use Heroin? They have Fatima Blush ;)! She did it so well in this movie :)!
Getting your ass beat by a hot woman ultimately is counterproductive and beating said ass often enough might ruin the false eye, bringing down the entire operation. Heroin and shall we say "feminine charms" compared to daily ass beatings are much more conducive.

What intrigues me about James Bond is that everyone knows him, yet he can still travel around the world incognito.
Much like mafiosi or bankers, known in their circles but the rest of us gives a sh#t 😂
Yes. And the reason is because it's _bollocks._
Well, even famous "spys" are often not known to football watchers, which is most people.
I think this movie was better than some of the official Bond films and way better than Diamonds are Forever.
That's not saying much. Diamonds are Forever was a pile of crap. One of the worst of the franchise, and easily the worst featuring Connery.

I love how elegant the bit where Sean Connery bond implies his piss has a range of five metres is ☺️
It's a pity we never got a follow up or even an official film with Max von Sydow as Blofeld. He's pretty good in what screen time he has in this film.
His voice kind of fits well with the one in Thunderball.

Now, as of 10/31/2020, RIP Sir Sean Connery
In Thunderball, Blofeld himself was referred to as "Number One", but in this film (essentially a Thunderball remake) his highest ranking lieutenant has that title.
In the book, it was like this too. Blofeld was Number 2 and Largo was Number 1
I love the opening theme music of this film. Barbara Carrera appeared in the television series "Dallas".
And she played almost the same character in Dallas. It was during "the dream season".
So smoking is bad for Jack's eye, but beating the crap out of him and repeatedly ramming his head into a wall isn't??
It’s just her being domineering.
There is something about getting your wig split by a hot woman
Nah, that's just tough Spectre love.
Good point!
Barbara Carrera should have been arrested for theft. She WAS the movie.
They would be lining up for a night with Fatima Blush! 😂
SPECTER must have a large payroll to keep everything secret.
