For me at least I feel like Daniel Craig was a hearty mix of Connery, Lazenby, and Dalton.

@@maxfrankow1238 Not even remotely

@@maxfrankow1238 Craig would've been awesome as a gritty action hero outside the bond franchise. I don't consider him Bond by a long shot.

@Matt the irony is that he’s a lot closer to Bond in Ian Fleming’s novels than most other Bond actors.

@@wjsproductions1784 Including more outrageous outings like Dr No ? Please....

Don't kill James Bond like you did before. You don't just kill James Bond & wait for the cops to arrive.

@@brianheistan9859 "miss Case I presume ?"

Yes, for a man in his eighties, George Lazenby is in fine form. Last year, he was photographed riding a bicycle in London. Among other things, he was doing motocross into his sixties! Just what one would expect from a retired 007. I’m glad about two things: that he didn’t stick around to do crap like “ Man With The Golden Gun”; and that he is still here to see how much his film is appreciated, however belatedly. (I take pride in having done so from the beginning - Christmas 1969.)

Totzo2to

Greengrass and Gilroy have watched this, I am sure.

That too it was without the computers

It was directed by the editor of the previous Bond films at that point, it really works for this movie.

Well, Bond didn't have any gadgets in Dr No either.

Its my 2nd favorite Bond movie

@@nikolaiquack8548 He got his Walther PPK from Q in that film. Technically his first "gadget".

@@colliric I mean, if you really wanna stretch the definition of gadgets in a Bond film, suuure :D

My favorite pre Craig Bond movie. Lazenby totally pulled off who the F*ck else is Bond? I'm Bond, let's go. And that Toboggan scene is not only great, it's the first time movie Bond had actual hand to hand combat with the main villain. Only once repeated at the end of Goldeneye in another great scene. (For England, James? No. For me)

One should also credit Willy Bogner for his camera work.

Yes, John Glen shot the scenes under the instructions and storyboards of Peter Hunt. John said "When I headed over, Peter shared details of the On Her Majesty’s Secret Service bobsled sequence and said “How would you like to direct this?” I took 10 minutes to read the sequence - it was a very good action scene. Peter had run behind schedule in Switzerland because, as usual, as soon as a film crew arrives, the snow stops and the sun shines. The bob run was melting away so he needed someone to go in and shoot it quickly before it all disappeared. I jumped at the chance and within a couple of days I was on my way to Switzerland! It was the most important film I’d worked on at that time. A fantastic crew and fantastic facilities. I worked mainly with the expert skiers. I think I was the only one who didn’t ski. "

@mo zack Those Craig movie lifted from Bourne's persona.

LIKE WHO IS HE TALKING TO LMAO 🤣 I love that Bond like says this shit to amuse himself, considering the subject matter it's just so fucking wholesome and human

Now a member of Special Branch??

He's underrated but I dunno about him being the "ultimate" bond

Second only to Sean Connery

@@sharonmcgillivray2119 fair enough

@@sharonmcgillivray2119 Lazenby's Bond, relatively young, vulnerable and infinite, has some similarities with Graig in ''Casino Royale'' without the final scene. In this scene we see the character of Bond who had to be in O.H.M.S.S. A mature man with experience, like the actors in the other roles.

Same batch was used in Die Hard 2 when McClain was in the plane cockpit.

Movies lol 😆

Nothing compared to the A-bomb in Goldfinger. Took about 10 minutes of screen time, for 30 seconds to go off the timer.

Savalas is Greek like me, and advertise Greece in the film (What were all the world's charms to mighty Paris, when he found that first dawn in the arms of his Helen?). In novel, Blofeld's father was Polish, and his mother was Greek, hence his Greek name Stavro. But Yul Brynner is closer to the role, as required by the film series. Savalas as Greek and Balkan must take the role of Yul Brynner in ''Battle of Neretva''.

@@user-xp2gm8im2c Yul Brynner would have been truly intimidating as Blofeld.

From Russia with love, old school, fair play

Are you serious? This was the worst Bond movie. The story was nonsense and poor. Furthermore, Lazenby didn't convince as Bond.

@@Thales1997 Everyone has their best and worst.

Maybe Irma Bunt had already taken Blofeld away by that point. At least that's what my head canon says. Also, I think both Bond and we are meant to assume that it had killed Blofeld.

@@nikolaiquack8548 Yeah Blofeld is like the Nick Fury of bad guys. He always has a backup. More likely his men got him rather than Bunt.

Sir it would not have stayed true to Fleming story. Best bond film that stood true to the best Fleming novel.

I'm assuming he was just under the impression that absolutely no one would survive being smashed in the neck with a tree at 50 miles per hour and considered going back pointless, especially since he was probably tired after doing all that. Perhaps the dog showing up at the end and the feeling of "I'm safe at last..." kinda distracted him from finishing the job.

Most movies don't acknowledge how bloody exhausted one is after a fight.

No he made the worst choice by being in this one cuz it would have been way better with Connery or Moore instead of an Australian model who lied his way into the role lol

I'm glad he didn't. He just wasn't good as Bond in my opinion.

MISTERCR0WBAR I thought George Lazenby did an excellent job, and I do not believe in this myth that it would have been a better film with Connery. There is no way his Bond would have convincingly shown the more vulnerable moments. George would have improved with each film too. If keeping him meant more OHMSS than Diamonds Are Forever then I would have signed him to an 8 film contract!

@@liquidgeorge ehhhh, if we're going for vulnerable Bond we mayswell root for Craig and Dalton although I suppose theyre both a bit young to have been in OHMSS lol

MISTERCR0WBAR Dalton would have been brilliant if he was old enough. I like Daniel Craig, but all his films make him too vulnerable. It’s a tough balancing act.

Bond in O.H.M.S.S. is a mature man with experience, like the actors to the other roles. Not relatively young, vulnerable and infinite. Connery in ''You Only Live Twice'' is the character of Bond here. An agent tired from his job, finds happiness in love and marriage. With Connery would have other romance, Bond and Tracy would be like him and Bardot in ''Shalako''.

it is for me as child a wrong movie ONE actor as Bond when I older i'm reading the books and this MOVIES was teh BEST of IANS bond.. OHMSS

Connery was stellar in his first three outings. I don't know what the Hell happened after that but it looked like he wasn't even trying to act but just reciting his lines.

Ok boomer

@@colliric Agreed

Agreed. Diamonds Are Forever would have been a good send-off. He would have gotten his revenge and closed a chapter in Bond history.

Yes, but the reason they delayed it is because the Snowfall in the Swiss alps wasn't as good as they needed that year, so they pushed forward with You Only Live Twice instead.

@@colliric True!!!

The first official one at least

yes it is!

@L0wki no it isn’t, he was in the next movie, perfectly fine.

He was paralyzed because Bond used Blofeld’s submarine as a wrecking ball to demolish his control room on the oil rig.

James Mathhew I think Donald Pleasance is the greatest because (although he had a short role) he had that deranged face that Christoph Waltz’s Blofeld had, and I think that’s the great feature of Blofeld

@@nickymckellar6423 Pleasance wasn't remotely imitating nor commanding as a villain. Huge miscasting given the all nice, sweet guys he played in films prior. Especially the sweet blind guy he played in The Great Escape. Great actor in general but just wasn't ever a good fit for a villain role. Its like giving Audrey Hepburn a villain role. Just simple doesn't work and looks completely out of place both in the film and who the actor is and portrayed for most of their career.

Telly Salvalas is easily without question the best of all of them. He was imitating, menacing and very commanding as a villain. So much so Bruce Timm used him as inspiration for Lex Luthor (the best one ever done in media) in Superman The Animated Series, Justice League TAS and Justice League Unlimited. When you watch those cartoons you can very clearly see the resemblance in both the looks and the voice acting by Clancy Brown. He also was the inspiration for Dr Evil who was of course a parody of Blofeld in the Austin Powers films.

I understand I just thought he was great

Worst Blofeld is Christoph Waltz, but who knows, he might be good in No time to die. Oh don't forget Charles Gray, him dressing up as an old lady is pretty bad.

That fight scene is nuts, Bond straight up does a John Cena Attitude Adjustment on a motherfucker

Good news. He already did it.
