Having seen Casino Royale in blu-ray two days ago (it's one of the most stunning blu-rays do date), it just came to my mind why re-editing both movies would (IMO) beneficial.

End CR with Bond and Vesper together...and start Quantum with the bank thing, and leave the intro song after Bond catches the 'bad guy' and the 'chase scene', just like the original movie that way we get a 'normal' Bond-movie intro...what do you t think?

How about we use the ending to Casino Royale, ignore QoS, and make a good sequel to Casino Royale.

You guys are a tough crowd but I have to agree that Casino Royale was the better of the two.

yeah. Casino Royal was bond stripped down to the basics. no gimmicks, no tech junk and with an added touch of "tuxedo-grit", thanks to paul greengrass and the Bourne trilogy, whose influence is far more apparent in Quantum Of solace, in which i would definitely cut-out the "guy-in-appartment" fight scene near the beginning, which was placed there just to imitate bourne's fight with desh in Tangiers, and maybe the boat chase right after, with that shot of the motorcycle flying on the boat, another Bourne rip off.

I agree. C.R. was better, Hoever taking in consideration the whole, its just a piece of the story, shinanigans... I dont think it was that bad. maybe a re-watch would change my mind.

Either way. just move on, and make a kick ass third. I like this bond dude, isnt he on contract for four?

Have you realized that the ending shot of Bond holding the gun on CR is the exact same shot of him on the Quantum blu-ray?

Well... I'd settle just for an uncut version of CASINO ROYALE on Blu-ray (like they get in other countries, Australia, etc), as the version we have here in the USA is edited to get a PG-13 rating. You can see the numerous cuts made in the list @ DVDCompare's site (link above). Scroll down to under CUTS. The all-region import "R-Rated" BD edition from Australia runs about $50 shipped.
