Come see where the title for the movie Q Planes originated. We’ll look at how history gave it its name.
Q Planes gives us what may be the birth of a famous line from Mission: Impossible (disavow) and a real-world historical reference (The Nelson Touch).
This scene in Q Planes shows Hammond getting out of an airplane and asking a man “Got a cigarette?” You can probably guess what happens next.
There have been six actors who have played James Bond so far in the EON Production James Bond 007 movies. Hundreds of articles and polls rank these actors as to who is the best, with rankings from one to six. This article will spend some time concentrating on the 2 actors who often don’t rank very high in those polls. We call them the Lost and Overlooked Bonds as we think they did a great job.
In this scene from Q Planes, the jig appears to be up for Jenkins. Here, Jenkins is almost run down by a car as the villains try to kill him. We see parallels to this in numerous spy movies. A relatively current example comes from the 2017 movie, ATOMIC BLONDE.
