Final Act: Die Another Day vs SPECTRE

I'd rather sit through the Jinx movie than ever see SP again.

As would I.

As far as Jinx goes, she has some atrocious dialogue but she fills out her bikini well and looks believable in the action scenes, which is really the extent of her character.

The fight between Jinx and Miranda is superior to anything we ended up with in Spectre. Make of that what you will.

Actually that's true about the fight and we got a cheesy line ending in "bitch" which is always a laugh.
Didn't help that Jinx was a walking cliche complete with Yo mama jokes...where is Saint Wai Lin when you need her?

I've always thought that 'Read this, bitch' line was actually one of Jinx's better moments.

Don't get me started on the Wai Lin-in-DAD possibility. If only scheduling around DAD/Crouching Tiger could have allowed for it. At the same time, if DAD still blew up to the excesses that it was with Michelle Yeoh in it, then maybe it's for the best she's relegated to her one, superior film in the series.

Crouching Tiger came out in 2000, so it wasn't a scheduling conflict with that film.

A film called THE TOUCH did come out in 2002, but filming had completed on January 12th of that year, just two days before filming began for DIE ANOTHER DAY. So perhaps she could have made her cameo as originally planned for the Hong Kong sequence. Too bad that didn't happen.

As far as THE TOUCH goes, she did have a scheduling conflict that prevented her from taking a role in the Matrix sequels. Had that not been an issue, she would have shared a scene with Monica Bellucci.

Yes, I meant The Touch. I believe she also produced it, so that probably ate up much of her time.
