She was on an action series for years called The Avengers.

@@taliamason7986 he just said that

@@Modernww2fare My bad. I somehow didn't read that part.

@@taliamason7986 and in that tight-leathery suit that allowed her to kick really high!

RIP Diana Rigg.

They knew how to shoot films back then. Look at movies like Lawrence of Arabia. No jerky hand-held camerawork and confusing quick editing

@@geoffrogerson9937 I wouldn't say a more modern type of film is worse, I think they're just different, altho it's all down to personal preference.

Peter Hunt was the film editor for the first five Connery films, and only directed this one film. The man knew what he was doing.

@@geoffrogerson9937 you have not seen the fight scenes in the beginning of this movie?

@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip ituol

Firing multiple double-taps too! Very disciplined shooting.

In terms of movie script... The best by far

@@toivonencresto yes indeed 😍

This movie is generally faithful to the novel, more so than other, later Bond films.

@@markreeter6227 that's why I love it 🥰

Culture shock. He wasn't bad as Bond, his way of playing the character was just rather different to Connery's, which was all the audience knew at that point. The same thing happened when Dalton took over from Roger Moore, but to an even greater extent.

Super video

It's impossible to follow Sean C. No one has done it well.

probably cause he only made this one and it seemed more like a parody since it wasn't Connery and since he was the 1st person to play Bond other than him

I like the style of this movie and the really different story approach- the music is my favorite. The acid-bottle-throwing scientist was a good inspiration for a specific enemy in the game "XIII".

Far from the best one

Its the worst

Agree. The best of the lot - story, locations, cast, script, cinematography...all top drawer. And Lazenby is good. Makes Bond human and vulnerable.

Yes I agree

Lazenby continues to be unfavorably compared to Connery to this very day, in a way that the others just aren't.

Definitely not one of the best

Don't get me wrong he was a bit wooden but I expect that cause it's his first major acting role and he's taking over some big boots hell Roger Moore was wooden as hell in Live and Let Die I think given more films George would have fit the role quite well.

@@SeizureGman You might be right

Its 💩

Most likely it's because of George Lazenby.

It's not "just" Lazenby. The plot of this one has been constructed around Bond falling in love, for which he had to appear more fragile and weak than ever before, especially during his escape from Piz Gloria and the subsequent chase through the nearby villages. This feels a bit alienating and drags on for a good bit, which for me I find it kills the mood midway through the movie. On top the conclusion of the movie isn't really satisfying. Bond loses for the first time, I could be okay with that but not in this one as it was totally avoidable. Had Bond taken the time to make sure Blofeld was dead after the bobsled chase, and he should know to do that as the veteran secret agent he is, the movie could have ended differently. Even had Blofeld not been found Bond would have known to stay careful and maybe not have a public wedding sometime soon. Instead he gives his arch nemesis a chance to get away and a chance to exact revenge - two mistakes in a row. Duh. This would indeed never have happened to the other fella. This all feels a bit too much constructed just to get to a bad ending and not enough like a logical flow of events.

People don't hate on this, it's seen as one of the best movies

Well in 1969 this film didn't do as well as Sean Connery's first 5 Bond movies.

I thought it's one of the best, but I'm simply not a fan of Lazenby. He's the weak part of it.

He said it in this movie too. He later said in The World Is Not Enough that it was his family's motto

2:52 You can say that again!

💪👍🤣

You’ve got to be joking 🤣🤣 You’ve clearly not seen any other Bond films then

@@user-mistereye Actually, I’ve seen them all (and read all the books). Eye swear!

@@thomaschacko6320 Okay, fair enough then 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good pun, by the way 😆

@@user-mistereye Thanks! I’d be interested in knowing about your favourites. And in a spirit of fun, you may remember this from “Never Say Never Again.” Bond and M are discussing the hijacking of two US nuclear missiles. They can only be accessed by a scan of the President’s right eye. BOND: “If this Petacchi was involved, is it conceivable that he could have used a false eye?” M: “Ohh, do come along, Bond! Let’s think of a more logical explanation, shall we?” Guess who turned out to be right! I liked this film. Tell me what you think.

@@thomaschacko6320 One of my faves in terms of pacing, characters and enjoyment-factor has to be Licence to Kill. But there are elements from practically ever film that I love (apart from Spectre). Never Say Never Again is kinda fun but since it’s an unofficial remake of Thunderball, I don’t count it properly as part of the main Bond series. The fight with Lippe is one of my favourite Bond fights ever though

I thought the same thing....like who jumps out of a helicopter head first when over land?? Haha

She's the reason I married the woman I did - Power Couples are best couples.

😉

Or at least had Lazenby do one more film with "Diamonds Are Forever".

@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip Mmmm. No. No, that's definitely not what I was driving at.

From what I gather, Dalton was considered for the role but he thought 💭 he was too young( 24 or 25) ? Patrick Mower was also asked but turned it down( he was a year younger than George. Also Oliver Reed was considered, a lot of people think he would have been an excellent Bond, it was his drinking and divorce from his first wife that stop him being chosen 😒.

Dalton turned down the role as felt he was too young at age 22 then to play Bond and inexperienced. He was considered several times in 80s but Moore returned each time to play Bond 3 more times before he retired from playing Bond.

SPECTRE as well

I like this thinking. Bonus points if at least one of the main Super Mooks is a former British SAS/SBS that knows Bond, and was the reason he got Shanghai'ed in the car earlier in the film. Like "Oh, hello, James! Been about ten years! Come here - my boss wants a talk with you and he's not taking 'no' for an answer." Then proceeds to relieve him of his gadgetry because he knows where he wears it at, while keeping it very Britishly polite and gentlemanly.

UB

Aww Timothy Dalton was nice and so is George Lazenby but Sean Connery is the best of all

wait for Steed.

They didn't want to risk killing Tracy

They were trying to pass off as relief personnel. Guns and rockets would’ve given them away

Chuck Norris

Henry Cavill

Connery should have been here, and in ''Diamonds'' as a revenge film. His last Bond film in ''Live and Let Die'' in 1972 for the celebration ten years Bond films. He would end in Jamaica, where he started ten years before.

Because the film is a highly faithful adaptation of the Fleming novel which precedes YOLT in book publication order. YOLT should have been produced after OHMSS , which was the original intention.

@@michaelschramm1064 Thank you!

I believe yours is a very minority opinion.

@@stevearmstrong5324 Lol, seriously? How many acting awards does Lazenby have, then?

@@marioozzie Irrelevant.

@@stevearmstrong5324 Fine, Lazenby still was at best a soap opera actor

@@marioozzie Look, you have your opinion and I have mine. Neither one is the truth. I think he did just fine in his one movie of a series, NONE of which is exactly Shakespearean material! They are for entertainment, and he entertained me. If you were disappointed, then you either need to lower your standards or move on to material with more teeth in it. But as a self-proclaimed "expert" in acting you don't impress me much, to paraphrase Shania Twain.
