The movie was a bit of a disappointment, but the death of Sir August De Wynter was a highlight.

Maniacal meteorologist, Sir August, has used his Prospero organisation to design a device in order to control the world's weather.

Following the destruction of his plans, Sir August and John Steed have a painfully slow fight with Steed using his bladed umbrella and Sir August using his blunted cane. In the background there is rain and lightning.

John Steed manages to disarm and stab Sir August with his own cane, which serves as a lightning rod. It is not too long before long he is electrocuted by a bolt before being sucked up into a cloud and disintegrated.

I looooooooooooooooooooved this movie.I do not know why eveyone else hated it. I mean I have respect for the guy who sent this in, but we have different opinions. The daethhhhh: best death I have ever seen in my life. The death had great special effects which made it even better.

I didn't like it because Sean Connery was the bad guy. I mean, he's Henry Jones Sr.! Indiana Jones' friggin' dad! Even beyond that, he's James friggin' Bond! How can you ever harbor anything but love for Sean Connery? I ask you this.

Nice, unique death, though. If I hated the bad guy, I would have loved the death even more.

Hey, it was a death worthy of Sean Connery. Impalement + Electrocution + Disentigration = Fun!

what if his demands weren't met by midnight?it's very simple.if Sir August De Wynter had lived the weather in London would have gotton colder and colder and colder until everyone there has to go to hell just to warm up.
