The power of marketing!

@@Pablo-nx9zh The power of a fantastic piece of music

Lmao because it is one of the only blockbuster series back then. And film history is only 100 years old.

Not one of most iconic… THE most iconic theme in film history.

Definitely

Monty Norman's iconic theme song for the James Bond franchise has stood the test of time over 60 years, solidifying its place as one of the best in cinematic history.

Absolutely, the James Bond franchise has produced some iconic theme songs over the years, thanks in large part to the talents of Monty Norman. Their music truly stands the test of time.

I believe he had a serious leg injury, which is why he was walking so carefully

I bet you didnt watch any of the old Bond films.

@@jangdi. lol I've watched all 25 of them. Then again so what if I didn't watch the old ones, it's just i love that scene, it didn't mean that's the best one. What a clown

Classy?? He looks like some short little Russian henchman or someone's embarrassing dad trying desperately hard to look like James Bond and failing badly. He is walking really stiff and his suit looks horrendously tight and ill-fitting. His gun is a bizarre thing for a spy to be using, the scene makes no sense whatsoever (even within the context of Bond writing)... Daniel Craig's movies are just awful. Casino Royale showed potential but that went straight out the window with the next one. I found it particularly bizarre how they made such a huge song and dance over rebooting the entire character and franchise, saying it needed radical modernisation, yet they just immediately went on to try desperately hard to make them look really retro 60s, do very little else but endlessly reference the old movies over and over, obsess over terrorism and the fact Bond likes his martinis shaken (we get it...you don't need to make such a massive deal about talking about this is every single movie). Every single Craig movie is just the exact same plot points repeated each time, and every time starts as if "Oh! He's not the real Bond yet, not quite the Bond we know and love, but wait for it... (3 hours of dreary and depressing movie later) Aaaand, NOW he's REALLY James Bond!" (and the movie ends). Then the next movie just goes all the ay back yet again and we have to sit through another 3 hours of depression and systematic destruction of every character since 1962 before being once again conned into thinking Craig is finally going to be James Bond and not some weird, fuggly, stiff and awkward pretend Bond who's always desperately overcompensating and trying too hard to look cool and suave when he just isn't.

Lol what’s wrong with these salty people 🤣

Don’t forget Eric Serra.

It’s basically John Barry , he’s the one that crafted it , only used three measures from Monty Norman’s weird Sitar Indian piece It’s all Barry

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the tribute to the talented Bond composers. Their contributions to the iconic franchise are truly remarkable.

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the tribute to the talented Bond composers. Their work has truly made the 007 franchise iconic.

that's the G.O.A.T

One of the very best Bond scenes across the franchise.

That's great to hear! It's always exciting to hear about someone's introduction to the Bond franchise at a young age. Bond films have a way of capturing the imagination and staying with us for a lifetime. Enjoy the journey through the iconic series!

That's awesome! It's great that you discovered the Bond franchise at such a young age. "4:38" must have been a pivotal moment in your introduction to the world of James Bond.

Craig hates Bond. He insisted he be killed off. Far cry from the gentlemen Moore and Brosnan. I can't support a Fond who runs it in fans' faces he's doing only for the cash cow. Realistic? Breaking doorknob with one hand . A bond who's a whiner and gives up..ugh. But to each his. etc

@@jakemay637 Each to their own opinion.

@@jakemay637 Craig will.always kick Arse as a Realistic Bond in Casino Royal and Skyfall and Said's it perfect at the end of Casino Royal."The Names Bond James Bond "!

@@anthonylynch4737 How realistic is Bond breaking off a door knob with one hand? Bond's primary trait is that he never gives up. Yet, Fond in the last film gives up as the baddies shootup the Aston. He whines in deep despair. He kills himself stupidly when he could have lived..oh, I forgot Craig insisted Fond be killed off. I forgot the Bond of the books had fun, a sensahuma...

@@jakemay637 Every Kick Arse Bond does at least two good performances like Craig and Dalton !

Thr real genius was John Barry, who massaged the melody into its classic form. Think of it this way: if Norman was really the guy behind the Bond theme, the producers would have asked him back to do FRWL.

John Barry was the composer of the James Bond theme by an overwhelming margin. All Barry did was to incorporate two bars of Norma’s silly sounding ditty from a failed musical.

@@michaelschramm1064 That court case was a sham. Btw, if anyone really wants to know which theme Norman wrote, go to the last track on the Dr. No soundtrack album. Are you kidding me? No wonder he didn't get asked back to score any more films🤣

@@nigelinasia2088 Nice input, Nigel. Yes the court case (2 of them, I believe) were a sham. Norman’s underscore for certain scenes in “Dr. No” are just plain terrible, having the unintended and unfortunate effect of relegating the film to 1950s era B movie status. So many have singled Norman out as some sort of musical genius on behalf of the JB theme they think he crafted by way of composition/arrangement and I always respond with the same thing: “He wrote NOTHING that sits in the music listener’s collective memories in the last 50 years-nothing”.

​@@michaelschramm1064So, who composed the theme?

The submarine one in for your eyes only is just brilliant isn’t it

When I saw Goldeneye pop up...I don't like Eric Serra's version of the Bond theme, but I'm still a little disappointed that it wasn't included.

Also missed Vijay playing it on the snake charmer's flute when Bond arrives in India in Octopussy. And was the theme really not used in FRWL or QOS? Additionally, the clip with Denise Richards at the nuclear facility is out of sequence.

james bond is so stupid . at least people have moved on to better movies

@@comeon100100 "☝🤓"

Thank you sir!

I never noticed the Bond theme in Trip Aces before. I always thought the only time we hear the main theme is right at the end of the film when Bond shoots Mr White. Well spotted!

@@katemara667 It's used a couple of times in the Casino Royale soundtrack- we also here it in Dinner Jackets, when Bond stalks Vesper/ when Bond kills Gettler. There are little pieces of it Arnold worked into the score to show Bond gradually building up to becoming Bond.

james bond movie is no good to the society. it glorifies all mistakes tht humans make.

Many thanks!

I'd love to see a video where excerpts from all the Bond songs cleverly segue together!

Why does like nobody in the world seem to know that was just lifted directly from the Goldeneye movie's teaser trailer... It wasn't some genius original creation for the game.

​@@AD-kv9kjbut made with shitty n64 sounds , they made a great 007 soundtrack . Listent to the rest

The JB theme would be absolutely NOTHING without John Barry’s input for composition/arrangement.

If he truly composed this theme, we would know Norman for other themes as well. There basically aren’t any of any repute, because well, it was John Barry who bailed out Norman by writing 90% of the theme.

Thanks!

@@EVERYJAMESBOND who is your favorite bond actor and film

Roger Moore, A View To A Kill

@@EVERYJAMESBOND why roger and the film

Wow that’s a great idea 💡

Norman had basically nothing much to do with the theme-he just laughed all the way to the bank on royalties to a theme 90% composed by John Barry.

@@michaelschramm1064 the man died, give it a rest.

@@zachlewis9751 Well that’s bloody useful. FYI I’ve attempting to edify people on the origins of the theme for damn 20 years. You’re thanking him for nothing by the way…

Yes, Michael Kamen is amazing. He made License to Kill feel like a Lethal Weapon movie.

@@EVERYJAMESBOND I love his themes in Highlander & how he referenced them in X-Men
