Peter Hunt may have created the first James Bond shitpost while editing From Russia with Love "During the [preview] screening, when Bond attempts to open the briefcase, Hunt cut in a sequence where there is an actual explosion obliterating Bond, M, and Q"

Hahah I assumed it would either be that or stock footage (but didn't want to imply I'd had some lost version rather than making my own...)

The building shown in this clip was opened in 1994.

Yes, it's almost like I edited my own version together using footage from The World is Not Enough to make it blatantly clear that it wasn't the original!

Still a better ending than No Time To Die @podslikeus

He tells this story on the original Laserdisc commentary. Long since deleted.

"I should think so. It's a standard kit." Are phrases that occur to me every fucking day.

@hansmollman I can’t believe I’m asking this. Is the story true and this is a reimagining of the special edit? Or is everything I read on this awful platform a lie?

Tom Mason2 years ago

@hansmollman Haha don’t worry, the story is true - I just used a clip from The World is Not Enough when remaking it

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) remains one of the most distinctive entries in the Bond franchise. It was the only time George Lazenby portrayed 007 and the first film to show Bond marrying Tracy. Directed by former Bond editor Peter R. Hunt, it has since earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed films in the series.

CASINO ROYALE (2006) ending with “You Know My Name” kicking in as Bond finally says, “The name’s Bond. James Bond.” is still one of the best endings to a Bond movie.

Desmond Llewelyn played Q in 17 consecutive Bond films, from From Russia with Love (1963) to The World Is Not Enough (1999), becoming the most-appearing actor in Bond history. The scene where Q introduces the Aston Martin DB5 was the first time audiences saw a range of iconic spy gadgets such as the ejection seat, machine gun, and rotating license plate – a formula that became a trademark of the Bond series. The original DB5 did not have these special features. All the weapons and mechanisms in the film were designed specifically for filming by John Stears' special effects team. The success of GOLDFINGER transformed the Aston Martin DB5 into the most iconic Bond car of all time, to the point that it reappeared in many subsequent Bond films, including GoldenEye, Casino Royale, Skyfall, and No Time to Die.

Because of Roger Moore’s presence, there are numerous James Bond references throughout "The Cannonball Run" (1981), resulting in a rumor that producer Albert R. Broccoli had Roger Moore sign a contract which forbid him to spoof or make references to the James Bond character in any other non-Bond film. However, in September 2014 during an audience Q&A in Torquay, Roger Moore stated there was no such contract but that he had promised Albert Broccoli that he would never do anything that would hurt the James Bond character. When Hal Needham, the director of "The Cannonball Run" went to meet the Bond producers about the possibility of directing a Bond film, the first thing they said was "Perhaps we should think about suing you for Cannonball". ("End Credits 68: Cinema's 2017 Lost Treasures Roger Moore", Arthur Grant, The Cinema Cafe, 2017)

From Russia With Love is some of the best filmmaking to ever come out of the Bond Franchise. Sean Connery is excellent as 007 per usual, but Robert Shaw is an outstanding & worthy adversary. I love how this story embraces the Cold War & espionage because it shows us a more thoughtful, creative side of Bond. This is in the conversation for best Bond film ever made.

Its rumored that Sean Connery's character in the 1996 movie The Rock is actually an older, imprisoned version of James Bond. Matching age ranges, timelines, and skill sets help line up this theory. In The Rock, the FBI states that John Mason was a British operative jailed in Alcatraz in 1962 who escaped in 1963. 1962 is also the year of the movie Dr. No. In the 1963 sequel From Russia with Love, dialogue even mentions Bond was missing for months, possibly imprisoned before his escape. He was allegedly recaptured for good in 1971, the last year Connery was in an official Bond role. John Mason is a master escape artist, excels in weapons and hand to hand combat, and highly trained by British Intelligence. James Bond is just a code name and would explain why there are multiple people who go by James Bond, and why the Bonds use it so openly. Mason even uses exact dialogue from Connery's Bond era: "But of course you are" When Mason reunites with his estranged daughter in The Rock, it is revealed she was conceived during a one night stand, which would match Bond's history. Bond returned to the United States on a rogue mission to steal microfilm containing state secrets to use against the United States. His mission was a success and he hid the film in a church, but was then captured by U.S. authorities. Because the British government denied his existence, he was wiped from all records and locked away without trial. James Bond began a new era with a new agent, and John Mason ceased to exist.

Tom Holland says he went directly to Sony chairman to pitch a James Bond idea to him but it didn’t work. “I actually went to Tom Rothman and pitched him an idea for an origin story for James Bond.” “The idea was that you would meet this kid in the SAS. He exceeds in every category, does really well, goes on this mission, and at the end of the mission, is assigned the status of 007, which is, in turn, James Bond.” “But obviously, from a marketing point of view, you can’t make a James Bond film and then reveal at the end of the film that he’s James Bond.” “It doesn’t make sense. No one’s ever going to do…”

Ian Fleming initially wanted Alfred Hitchcock to direct the first James Bond movie. It didn't materialise. Cary Grant was also approached to play the character but it didn't work out as he committed to do only one movie. The helicopter scene in "From Russia with Love" (1963) was Terrence Young's idea and is a homage to the scene in Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" (1959). During the filming of this scene, a camera operator's leg was hit by the blades of the helicopter that came in too low and he had to have his foot amputated. Sean Connery too came close to death when an inexperienced pilot flew a little too close, endangering his life. (Sources: 1. "Revealed: The secret telegram that shows Ian Fleming wanted Alfred Hitchcock to direct the first Bond film", Graham Smith, Daily Mail, 2012. 2. "How Cary Grant nearly made Global James Bond Day an American affair", Amanda Holpuch, The Guardian, 2012. 3. "REVISITED: the ‘banned’ FRWL commentary", The Spy Command, 2014. 4.

Amazon MGM has gained full creative control of the James Bond franchise from the Brocolli Family. The first order of business should be to call Christoper Nolan — who previously had failed negotiations with Barbara Brocolli — and have him direct the next Bond film, which he says “would be an amazing privilege.”

LICENCE TO KILL released in the US on this day in 1989. While at the time it was felt to be too dark for a Bond picture it's always been one of the best of the series for me. The stunt work is peak Bond with the truck sequence being a standout.
