Having negotiated his way through the underwater lair (and, no doubt, past various underlings, whose deaths are not considered worthy for us to see on film), Bond emerges in Stromberg's dining room, where the villain is sitting at the end of a large Chippendale dining table.
Bond, trying and work out why this loony possibly wanted to create Armageddon, sits at the other end of the table for a semi-rational discussion.
However, unbeknownst to Bond, Stromberg has one final ace to play. He fires a concealed harpoon stored under the table at our hero, only for Bond to roll out of the way and deliver the line "you have shot your bolt Stromberg", before firing an unnecessary amount of bullets into the salty sea dog.
if Karl Stromberg had lived mankind would have been obliterated from the surface world and a new undersea kingdom would have been built by Stromberg.
Doesn't Bond fire right back through the super long under-the-table barrel of Stromberg's harpoon gun?
i think he did fire through the tube under stromberg's dinner table.
It would've been cooler if he could somehow have pushed Stromberg into his fireplace.
Bond: You know so much about water, Stromberg. Feel the power of fire.
Stromberg: AAAAAAAAAAAGH! You killed sexy Naomi!
AAARGH! Who are you and what have you done with AARGH and ARRGH!?! Anyway, I Don't think of this as much of a gunfight, I think of a gunfight as all of the villain's henchmen with machine guns against one hero with an eight-shot pistol, Stromberg didn't even have a gun, he had a weird torpedo-tube, at first he planned to simply drop Bond to the sharks in the elevator-trap, what happened to shot? Gunfight, unlike head-shot doesn't immediately mean shot.
I'll bump this up since no one saw it.
[quote Karl_Eichholtz_13]if Karl Stromberg had lived mankind would have been obliterated from the surface world and a new undersea kingdom would have been built by Stromberg.[/quote]No, Bond had already destroyed the submarines before he killed Stromberg. The only thing that would have happened if he'd lived is being taken into custody.
Can I suggest Contrived Self-Defense for this one? Bond could have just arrested him pretty easily, he didn't technically have to kill him.
