🚨 TEXAS SWITCH ALERT! 🚨 Wonderful example from Dr. No (1962) where both Sean Connery and Ursula Andress are replaced by their stunt doubles behind the conveniently placed wall of oil barrels. #sneaky

I've seen "Dr. No" multiple dozens of times. I hadn't noticed that before!

Connery could at least have ducked 😆

They do a great job of matching gait as well

As many times as I've seen Dr No, and knowing that the early Bonds did so much to pioneer the technique, wild I've never noticed this one!

That was a pretty cool trick, most people who watch it wouldn't even notice I didn't lol.

"Very clever, Mr. Bond" And no, you don't want your lead actor jumping 10 feet and landing in a rocking boat, and also, if you're going to have a stunt actor for Ursula, you might as well have one for Sean.

We did one of these on Royal Tenenbaums when the priest gets knocked down the stairs in the last part of the movie.
