When Waltz returned for a cameo appearance in Daniel Craig’s final 007 outing, his character was quickly killed off, with Craig’s Bond casually quipping that it was good “ he's not a real brother.” Yet however history might feel about Spectre’s Blofeld twist, Waltz himself seems to be a fan of the controversial decision. Far from the intimidating and powerful head of SPECTRE’s criminal empire, Waltz’s Blofeld was reduced to an impish foe who harbored a personal grudge against his former foster brother.Įven No Time To Die would eventually come to poke fun at Spectre’s unexpected sibling twist. Considered by many of the franchise’s avid followers to be one of the biggest missteps of the entire series, establishing a familial connection between the two characters transformed a once iconic rivalry into something far pettier. Oberhauser: My wounds will heal, what about yours?Ĭ: Why can't you just face it, M? You don't matter any more.While the character’s return in Spectre was first widely hailed by expectant audiences, the decision to have him become Bond’s own adopted brother was quickly panned by viewers and critics alike. Ouch, I do hope that doesn't hurt to much. M: And now we know what 'C' stands for: 'careless'.īond: You're a hard man to kill, Blofeld. But then isn't that what 'M' stands for: 'moron'? Because people like you, paper-pushers and politicians, are too spineless to do what needs to be done, I made an alliance to put the power where it should be, and now you want to throw it away for the sake of democracy, whatever the hell that is. We're going to stop this system going online, and then I'm going to bring you in.Ĭ: Take a look at the world: chaos. M: I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick, Max. But in case you hadn't realised it, you two are out of a job so you're trespassing. M: No, but my quartermaster is and he's extremely talented.Ĭ: Oh, bravo. M: Not a good feeling being watched, is it?Ĭ: Don't tell me you're responsible for this. Madeleine: I can't go back to this life and I can't ask you to change. Oberhauser: Do those blue eyes still recognise you?īond: I'd recognise you anywhere. The man you're talking to now, the man inside your head, is Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Oberhauser: Franz Oberhauser died twenty years ago, James. Madeleine: Yes, it forces the other eggs out. Oberhauser: You know what happens when a cuckoo hatches inside another bird's nest? Oberhauser: This brief moment, between life and death, there was nobody inside his skull. Oberhauser: The things that bring people together. M: It's the fate of glass to break well maybe its the fate of spies to just disappear.īond: Visionaries psychiatric wards are full of them. Oberhauser: I thought you came here to die.īond: Well, it's a matter of perspective. ![]() A huge unstoppable force.īond: Except it did stop, didn't it? Right here. Think about it: so many years up there, alone, silent, building momentum until it chose to make its mark on Earth. The very meteorite which made this crater. Oberhauser: The Kartenhoff, the oldest in human possession. Madeleine: Why, given every other possible option, does a man choose the life of a paid assassin? Bond: Well, it was that or the priesthood. It's no surprise that this James Bond episode was filmed all over. Spectre was primarily filmed in England, but 007 also took us from the desert of Morocco to the icy heights of Austria, and from the madness of a Mexican festival to the glamour of Rome. Bond: Well, you shouldn't look like that. The twenty-fourth Bond movie, released in 2015, came packed with awesome filming locations. M: You're a cocky little bastard aren't you? I like you alive.Ĭ: It's not personal, its the future, and. Madeleine: Come anywhere near me and I'll kill you.īond : Who are you working for? It's name is Spectre.īond : The man I met should have been dead weeks ago, the only reason his heart was still beating was you. Swann, I am you best chance of staying alive.īond: This organisation, do you know what it's called? ![]() M: A licence to kill is also a licence not to kill.īond: Well that's not the sort of thing that looks good on a form.īartender: I'm sorry we don't serve alcohol here.īond: Because, right now, Dr. White: You're a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. ![]() M : An unelected one.īond: It wasn't MI6, it was Rome. You should try it some time.īond: Come on Q, give me something. It's been a long time but finally here we are. Lucia: If you don't leave now, we'll die together. ![]() Q: May I remind you I answer directly to M, and have a mortgage to pay, and two cats to feed. Might help with your punctuality issues.īond: Q, now you know exactly where I am, all of the time, can you do me a favour? Tanner: Q wasn't exactly feeling at home in Whitehall given the current merger, so he set up shop here, away from prying eyes. Moneypenny: And what makes you think you can trust me? Kill him, and don't miss the funeral.īond: I heard a name in Mexico: the Pale King. M : I need you to do something for me, 007. Moneypenny: Well I like what you've done with the place.
