Oh im happy you are watching JB again! This is one of my fave franchises!

Douglas McCabe

Mr Wint is the father Crispin Glover

I wish this movie acknowledged the previous movie more. He is angry at the beginning but then nothing. I don't know which is the bigger missed opportunity: Sean Connery not being in Her Majesty's Secret Service or George Lazenby not coming back for this movie.

Robert Cooper

Jill St John is fine here, but she's obviously doing a part that was meant for Jane Fonda

Darren Harrison

This movie almost had James Bond played by an American. American actor John Gavin was signed on a 3-film contract to play James Bond. Shortly before filming commenced, the producers secured Sean Connery. For his troubles, Gavin was paid for all three movies - a very wealthy man for no work. Connery donated his entire earnings to a charity for Scottish arts and culture. Frankly Connery looks terrible in the movie. He actually looks a lot better 12 years later when he returned as 007 in “Never Say Never Again” (1983) for a rival production company that held the film rights to the novel "Thunderball". One of the deleted scenes, available on the DVD release, explains how Plenty O'Toole finds out where Tiffany Case lives. The plastic surgery theme is a holdover from an early script for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," where the change in actor from Connery to Lazenby was to be explained by way of plastic surgery, because Bond was becoming too recognizable. The original plot involved Goldfinger's twin brother (to be played by Gert Frobe) and the laser was to be fired from an oil tanker that opened up. This plot line was never fully discarded, the tanker idea appearing in a later movie. This movie regularly is in the bottom tier of rankings by Bond fans and when you watch it, with the knowledge it was written for Gavin, you can tell it was written for an American actor. Next up is Roger Moore who played James Bond 7 times including my personal favorite “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977). And, for George - Bond in space is "Moonraker" (1979), and as George predicts in this reaction commentary, the Bond in space element appeared heavily in the promotional material for that Moore movie.

The next movie Live and Let Die is great and a breath of fresh air to the series. Its one of my favorites.

Robert Cooper

"Felix was like, Hey!" Felix wasn't there 🙃. The CIA can't operate on US Soil without an FBI attached. Also, until the Nixon administration, Taiwan was "China" and the PRC was "Red China"

Benjamin Herrera

Diamonds are forever, and so is Ric Flair! WOOOO!

Marko T.

Its interesting that after Connery looked a bit old in this and they chose an actor who is 3 years older. Moore does look younger though.

Big Mac

"This is the last Sean Connery"... Never say never ;)

rictus grin

bit of an aside but for me Bond movies are christmas movies, especially this era of bond movie because growing up this is the time of year the TV channels would play them one of the highlights of christmas day ;)

Brandon

I've always loved how Bond is on a warpath at the start of this film. You can only assume it's because of what happened to Tracy, since the film never actually mentions her by name... or her death. 🤣 The tonal shift to being less serious and not mentioning Tracy at all makes it a strange entry for Connery's return to the series. I like it anyway, though. It's such an unserious entry that I can't stay mad at it. The books were pretty much adapted in random order. In the books, this was the fourth entry and Blofeld hadn't been introduced yet. The final entry in the Blofeld saga was You Only Live Twice, which had already been adapted.

weyland1000

George mentioned that Mr Wintt looked like Crispin Glover and he’s right because Wintt is played by Bruce Glover , Crispin Glover’s father 👍

Darren Harrison

Connery would have been terrible in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. As is obvious in “You Only Live Twice” Connery had grown bored and resentful towards the character, His appearance in “Never Say Never Again” for a rival production company in 1983 was an F-you to the Eon producers who he felt had cheated him out of royalties. Indeed, the only reason Connery agreed, at the last minute, to “Diamonds Are Forever” was because the producers agreed to give his fee to a charity Connery wanted to set up for Scottish arts and culture.

Matthew Wabals

Simone frowning at the Elephant … broke my heart .

QuiGon

Really happy to see you are continuing the Bond movies!

Darren Harrison

Remarkable....even as a long-term Bond fan, I had never made the connection, but I totally see it now.

Dioskur

You misunderstood one thing: Its not bathosub for "bathtub-sub". Its "bat-ho-sub". It was initialy designed to get Batmans girlfriends throu the waterfall into his cave.

Ben Gilbert

Connery returned to play James Bond in 1983 in Never Say Never Again which was made by a different production company. It was based on the novel Thunderball. Kim Basinger was the Bond girl. The title derived from Connery's statement after Diamonds Are Forever that he would "never again" play Bond.

Dan

The weird flip where they had the car go from running on one side's wheels to other side's wheels (in the middle of the narrow alley, which doesn't make sense) was because they messed up and shot the entrance and exit shots with the car on a different side each - and they couldn't just mirror flip the footage because there was writing etc in shot.

Philipp Roensch

Welcome to Bond in the 71s, it's going to get even raunchier and funnier, they acknowledge the ridiculous parts now. I like this one a lot though, quick to the point, then good mystery where the Diamond trail leads and iconic villains. More excellent stunts as well, the elevator and two-wheel drive, are still selling. The special effects comp for explosions and lasers could use some work though^^. Bond in space is later, for now we get the most powerful moon buggy.

Philipp Roensch

Platform worker: "Hey, you are that new accountant right, how long do you have to work today?" Countdown man: "9 hours, and counting."

Sumner Hayes

Lana Wood (Plenty O'Toole) is Natalie Wood's sister. Natalie divorced actor Robert Wagner in 1962, but remarried him in 1972. Jill St. John (Tiffany Case) married Wagner just a couple of months after Natalie's death in 1981: A decade after this movie came out, Natalie Wood died under suspicious circumstances aboard Wagner's yacht (Christopher Walken was aboard the yacht). Lana has publicly stated that she believes Robert Wagner killed her sister. The official cause of death is accidental drowning, but the case was reopened in 2011 and Wagner was named a person of interest in 2018. Sean Connery dated both St. John and Lana Wood during production. Jill St. John and Lana Wood do not get along.

rictus grin

i don't know if you recognised him but blowfeld (Charles Grey) was the criminologist in rocky horror

Robert Finlay

I think actors let themselves go a bit when the pressure of playing Bond is off. Sean Connery didn't expect to come back after YOLT, and FYEO was supposed to be Roger Moore's last movie, they brought him back because they didn't want to debut a new actor going up against the rival Bond movie starring Connery. Moore looked a lot older in Octopussy.

Robert Finlay

Jill St John is also in the first episode of Batman.

rictus grin

the chair looks like a chaise longue.

rictus grin

and i don't know if you picked up on Willard White being a stand in for Howard Hughes made his money in oil, but his passion was aviation and film making there is a good biopic called The Aviator

rictus grin

edit the first chair simone mentioned in the penthouse

micah saldana

Since George likes cooking, you guys should watch The Menu, with Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor Joy

Bookwormy

I looooove this one

Relic

Shirley Bassey again. One of my favorite JB title songs.

JoeNotCharles

I like how you never once questioned that Blofeld would be back after the opening. I always thought they were trying for a fake-out, make the audience think they were disposing of Blofeld and Bond's revenge quickly before the credits so they didn't have to deal with the emotional impact of the last movie.

JoeNotCharles

One of the worst Bond movies, but one of the best Bond theme songs.

Darren Harrison

Connery was given almost universal creative control of “Never Say Never Again” which included getting the original composer James Horner fired. Connery largely agreed to play 007 in NSNA as a f-you to the Eon producers who he felt had cheated him out of royalties.

Darren Harrison

Cubby Broccoli was against the “alimentary” joke as he believed nobody would get it. At the premiere one man laughed and Cubby reportedly said, “big deal, one doctor.” I think the biggest thing missing in the commentary is mention of John Garvin who was signed to play the role of 007. The script is very obviously written for American actor Gavin. Shortly before filming Connery agreed to return and Gavin was paid his full fee.

Relic

Willard Whyte was played by Jimmy Dean. He was a country music singer (Big Bad John,) actor and TV host. He also co-founded Jimmy Dean Sausage that I still buy sometimes.

Eversharpe

Big Night is one of my favourite foodies films. Bottle Shock with Alan Rickman, and The Hundred-Foot Journey with Helen Mirren I would also highly recommend. And lets not forget possibly the best food documentary, Ratatouille (I kid), Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

Marcus Hicks

Was just about to say the same thing. Clearly a very strong family resemblence.

Ron

In addition to wanting more money (and who could blame him), Connery was very concerned with being typecast as Bond as well do wanting to do more varied and serious roles. Like Connery, Leonard Nimoy, was also quite concerned with being typecast and even wrote a book, "I Am Not Spock (1975)" to vent his frustrations. Because of the furor caused by the book (and his later reconciliation with the role 20 years later), he wrote, "I Am Spock (1995)". His very positive experience working on ST2 with Nick Meyer as well as the chance to direct ST3/4 were instrumental in his change of heart. Anyway, Connery was very eager to work on movies where he would play someone as far away as possible from James Bond. 3 years later, he worked on a film for his friend, John Boorman ("Excalibur (1981)"). Called "Zardoz (1974)", this movie was intended as a launchpad for his post-Bond career into more varied and serious roles. I think this would be an interesting reaction. (No spoilers please.) "Hi, I'm Plenty."

Mike FromOz

Although this isn't a good Bond film, it does have my favourite car in it - a 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. I love the styling of it, but much prefer it with the rear spoiler option. I agree that OHMSS was a fantastic Bond movie, which sadly wasn't followed up well with this one. Oh well. I don't have much more Bond movie knowledge, so I am interested to see how the others go. I did like "Live and let Die" though, even with its weirdness.

SbE

If you by chance remember in The Rock, where Nicholas Cage's character enters the interview room where Sean Connery's character is sitting: "Hi, I'm Stanley Goodspeed" "But of courshe you are" I feel that Stanley Goodspeed is definitely a name a male bond-girl would have. Sean Connery's character is certainly, definitely not the actual James Bond in that movie, though *wink wink* This Bond movie though, whew, I had forgotten how bad it was. The plot seems so unfocused it kinda just meanders around, the dialogue is so stilted at times, and the delivery of some of the lines from side characters are like they're just reading the words off a page for the first time. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd are the inspiration for the two thugs in Sin City who keep mangling multi-syllable words, I forget the names. No idea if this was before Frank Miller or not.

steezo jckson

bad movie but atleast we got one of kanye’s best songs and jay z’s best verses out of it

CappyZed

Don’t forget Nimoy’s third book “I am also Scotty”

Simon Williams

Well spotted George that is Crispin Glovers dad...

Darren Harrison

Yes, but Brolin was never actually signed (the movie was "Octopussy"), and there's even some evidence that the producers dangled him as an incentive to get Moore to agree to a smaller fee (i.e., Brolin was never seriously considered). Gavin is the only actor who has been signed to play James Bond, but didn't. Cubby Broccoli insisted Gavin be paid in full for all three 007 movies he had signed on for.

Christian Valdersnes

One of the most silliest bond movies... Roger Moore: Hold my Beer. But Roger does silliness great imo. He is not the best bond, but my favorite. The spy who loved my me is one of my favorite movies.

Simone's Coconut Squire

Hello, I’m a lawyer representing Simone’s cats. They want to know why THEY don’t have diamond collars, and unless they get them immediately, they will be pressing charges for neglect.

Marcus Hicks

Not sure if George and Simone recognized that the actor playing Blofeld also played the narrator on Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Ron

Agreed. Also, it's release order which is how they've been watching Star Trek. So, it's consistent with how they've doing handling this kind of thing in the past.

The Real Andrew Kim

It's not a coincidence the villains are portrayed as homosexuals again, Ian Flemming was a very vocal homophobe and made sure a lot of his villains were effeminate or queer. Not surprising since it goes hand in hand with the misogyny. I'm glad Simone finds it cute and not repulsive, but I thought it is important to point out the true intentions of making the villains that way.

Christian Valdersnes

True, but the movies are very different from the books. I belive the movies didn't have Ian Flemmings intensions.

Brandon

Ironically, in the book, Wint and Kidd were more threatening and not used as slapstick relief. It's a shame about some of Fleming's beliefs, and it's like that with a lot of material the further back in time you go. Homosexuality was sadly illegal in England during Fleming's lifetime and the law wasn't lifted until several years after he died.

Christian Valdersnes

"Homosexuality was sadly illegal in England during Fleming's lifetime" that's just insane. i mean we are only talking about 70+ years ago. I know Alan Turing was convicted of "homosexuality" and he helped the allies win the war. He killed him self. But he got an apology from the PM of England in 2009,. so i guess that evens it out.
