I'd love to see it too.
I don't think he ever filmed any actual DAF scenes???
No ,but the gunbarrel was filmed and exists out there somewhere !
Wow! Didn't know that. They should add that as a feature to a future DAF Blu-ray someday. I was always curious what Gavin would have looked like in DAF; hairstyle, clothes etc.
I wonder if they would have had him wear a hat.
I never knew that. I agree then, I'd love to see that.
I'm not sure if Binder made this, or what.
Maybe, but the Simmons one doesn't look so goofy.
The used gunbarrel also looks a bit like Connery's stance from TB-DAF. I am quite convinced this was all done on purpose by Tim.
Each actor had a radically different pose during the Binder era: Simmons slight hop, Connery balancing himself, Laz on one knee, Rog with 2 hands, Tim's sort of thrusting stance. The later Kleinman poses are all more similar:one hand, upright for the most part and so forth. I preferred Pierce's two handed TND trailer pose a bit more than his final version actually.
That issue of Stalog magazine from 1987 with Dalton on the cover shows how cool something like that pose might have looked. I can remember a generic image of Bond at the time that utilized Moore's pose for the FYEO poster with a generic face in place of Roger's. That image of Bond pointing the gun -left arm out wearing the black dinner suit, is pretty iconic and would probably look great in a gunbarrel sequence. I wonder if there is indeed another unused Dalton GB with that pose?
I don't think there is that much similarity between the Connery & Dalton gunbarrels. During his pose, Connery lowers his centre of gravity, further than Dalton, to the point where he has a noticeable wobble. His (Connery) left arm is held straight out, with his hand pointed slightly upwards, while Dalton holds his left arm at at his side.
I'm not sure if Connery filmed a gun barrel for NSNA, but according to the liner notes of the CD release of the NSNA soundtrack, the first track titled "Bond back in action" was the track meant for the planned NSNA gun barrel.
You would know, Rob. After all you are @Gunbarrels007.
In all seriousness it's a shame I discovered this topic so late as i've started one about the Casino Royale 1967 one sometime ago unfortunately I haven't seen that one:

Wish they used this one instead of the one in the final.
I Like the pose of Pierce holding the gun with both his hands.
Sorry for the poor quality, but it's the best I could find.
Made a vid on youtube to compare:
