Not to mention in DAF there are a few close ups of his shoes.
Oddjob smiles.
Although I had been watching some of the later Bonds recently, I must say they don't quite capture me the way these early Connery's do.
And the classic line-"Fetch my shoes!"
Bluray on my 55" t.v..
Did they recycle the same gunbarrels for each film or did they film each one individually
It was the same footage of Bob Simmons for the 1st three films. Then the footage of Sean filmed for TB (color), was used in YOLT (black and white) and DAF (bluish tint).
Binder only re-shot the gunbarrel when the aspect ratio of the film would change or a new Bond actor was cast. Therefore, Roger had 2 gunbarrels: LALD and TMWTGG in the "flat" aspect ratio. Then his TSWLM "scope" gunbarrel footage was used for the rest of his era.
I think Binder tweaked the design itself from film to film. He uses a rippling effect on OHMSS and DAF. Also, the FRWL version seems more sepia tone in some transfers rather than straight black and white.
The background on the second Roger gun-barrel seems to change hues as well. Sometimes it looks pinkish, sometimes yellowish, and in AVTAK seems pure white. That said, it could simply be in the DVD/video transfers. I've always maintained the opinion that the gunbarrel is one element most videos/DVD's and even Blu-rays don't quite capture accurately. When seen on a 35mm print, the blood is considerably richer and seems to have a thicker texture. Vibrant red. Not too bright not too dark, and that applies all all of the films up until GE.
It's always time for GE.
Been a while,one of my favourites ...BrosnanBond so suave on the Manticore.
I've missed Bond,anytime i can spend with him in his adventures is time well spent !
