It certainly was. Surely the greatest missed opportunity in all of Bondage?
But then saying that,it would mean Sir Roger would never have been Bond,and we cant have that !!
I would have been happy if GL did 3 films ,OHMSS,DAF and I think TMWTGG.
Then Sir Roger would take over from LALD and on to TSWLM etc etc.
No Moore, but more George, I could live with that.
I agree, Laz was the best fighter.
Lazenby was so tough in fact that he broke the stuntman Borienko's nose for real in a pre-filming practice fight! Yuri Borienko went on to play the henchman Grunther in the finished film. I don't believe that had ever happened before or since on a Bond film. It all added to the sense of realism in OHMSS I suppose though.
Haha. Yes, I read that recently. Like you say though, more realism. Always felt he was better than he's given credit for.
I read an article one time in which a post Bond Lazenby was out for dinner with a girlfriend (I think he was in Australia) when a chap picked a fight with him. George broke his jaw.
Interesting. Nice to know George has those skills for real life situations too! The Lazenby is not to be messed with!
he was one bad Mother.......
If I had to pick my favorite it would be the PTS fight. the way he handled that big guy and the knife carrying punk was very good and thrilling.
The sounds, the fast cut editing, the way the guys were tossed and tumbling about that entire scene was so thrilling.
Yes, very nice to know it wasn't all acting. Lazenby was a real diamond in the rough.
Yes, that's another favourite of mine! Lazenby certainly knocks ten bells out of them!
b-(
Yes, one of Fleming's original titles for the OHMSS novel. Could be.
The crane/chase sequence in Casino Royale still gets me every time.
There's that shot of the two soldiers coming at him and he takes them both out at the same time.. The Hinx fight!
So badass. I say top three,
1. Craig
2. Lazenby
3. Dalton
4. Connery
5. Brosnan
6. Moore
In my opinion Bond should always be a "dirty" fighter—not to the point of being downright nasty and making the audience squirm uncomfortably, but headbutts, knee and elbow strikes, doing whatever it takes. Unless of course they're going for a comical tone like Craig's Victorian boxing stance in Skyfall or Moore's slow-motion karate chops and headlocks.
Hey it was releastic, look at Bond fighting Jaws. Bond can't always beat everyone right away, Someone Craig's size could ever beat a guy that big let's be real. Bond dispatched if him in the most Bondian way possible! Every Bond has gotten his ass kicked at some point but Craig's Bond has done some pretty badass fighting.
