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"

The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia, p54

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?

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