Half the reason the movie exists the way it does is to explain how Iago appears in the Aladdin TV show
I had no idea they had character posters for this movie (or any posters at all aside from the bat symbol, come to think of it). I appreciate the post!
I feel like a De Palma Psycho II would've been more or less the same movie except with a lot of boobs, and Mary would've been played by Nancy Allen who would've showed her boobs at some point. Also lots more splitscreen, spinning camera moves, and split diopter shots. All involving boobs.
It's just some low-key sarcasm/sass from Tanaka pertaining to Bond's immature concerns over his partner's looks (going by his reputation it's obvious Bond is asking about her because he wants someone to put the moves on and not for any reason related to the mission). Sort of like, "Oh, and what're you gonna do about it if she's ugly? That's what I thought. Get serious!"
It's her natural accent. She grew up in Los Angeles.
The reason Shatner never directed another movie after this (the reviews weren't good but they weren't "career-ending" bad by any means) is because he literally could not finish the film. They had to cobble together the climax almost out of thin air in the editing room.
Luke saw her wearing the slave girl outfit on Tatooine so he knew she had it, she had it goin' on indeed.
Seriously though, I think he mostly just presumes that being his twin Leia would've most likely inherited the Force like he did, but I quite like the idea that her being able to hear his call at Cloud City was a sign she could use the Force.
Sure, but the production history of this movie's been documented pretty well so we pretty much know for sure there weren't any major changes during filming.
In fact there arguably weren't any truly radical changes at any point in the production - some of the early script drafts had differences in settings and characters (the Emperor's throne was at a city planet (this would've been what Endor was a moon of), Admiral Jerjerrod was more openly antagonistic with Darth Vader, there were two Death Stars under construction, etc.). But the story beats and overall tone were pretty consistent all throughout. There was always Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine, there were always Ewoks (it's true they were derived from a forest planet of Wookies, but that was during the drafts for the original Star Wars, not Return of the Jedi), and Darth Vader always sacrificed himself saving Luke from the Emperor.
The title was changed because there was some discussion within the production that it didn't really fit, and after the first trailer was revealed some fan reaction echoed that sentiment. They then ran a survey which revealed more people preferred "Return" over "Revenge" in the title, so they went ahead and made the change. It didn't accompany any change in direction for the film.
"Revenge of the Jedi" was just a title, it wasn't a different movie. They were already well into filming when they made the title change.
To be specific, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is "Moby Dick Vs. A Tale of Two Cities... in Space!"
