Shit was so darn quick lol.
Not saying it doesn't happen like that, but it didn't work for me in the film.
You're right though.
Mine Scenes Good.
Lots of things to like in this movie.
The aerial maneuvers were good.
My favorite part was when the guy ran down the other guy in the Rolls Royce lol.
That shit was funny.
And of course, he ended up digging two graves as the Chinese Proverb said.
I was just thinking they had too many board members making this decision.
I was like all these people have to die.
You can't have all those witnesses!
I'm pretty sure that Arthurs Butler was going to send them all bombs in the mail eventually.
Yes I believe the plan was to kill off most of the syndicate members (along with Bond). The German guy didn't follow instructions and put his money into action earlier than instructed, so he got the bomb first (in the form of a present, which also killed his family at their Christmas meal you'll recall). The other deaths were implied to happen at a later time of course as you mentioned. Yes the car death scene near the end was terrific. It's possible (like one in 10000) Bond's boss could have survived as a cripple with pulverized legs - but maybe I misinterpreted that scene and there is no chance he survived rather than an exceedingly small chance that did.

Great quote from the movie: "What I want I can get for free" - said to Kowalski by Tex (Bond's two underground night shift and day shift managers).
That was a good quote.
Nice Catch.
If you didn't realize it, Peter Hunt directed this movie.
He also directed On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
He worked as an Editor on Goldfinger, Dr. No, Thunderball and some other Bond Movies.
That's why the action scenes in GOLD were so good.
I did see that he was the director of Gold during the opening credits, however I didn't know about his Bond film credits - thanks for the interesting info.
