Over the years I've learned to not hate this movie, but instead enjoy it for what it is. lol. There are so many ridiculous things about it you just can't go in to it the same way as the other Connery Bonds.
The revenge films of Bond have always been Good. Diamonds are forever and For Your eyes only are the examples. Quantum was ok for me but i still prefer the other two
Nice job and i agree this trailer makes the movie stronger....And to bad George did not stay on..,he was the youngest at 29 to play Bond and could have had one hell of a run with it.....
I have to admit that this is one of the best remixed trailers I have seen to date..and the only one that has the 'graveyard' seen from fyo I'm very impressed this was added! Please add more...
the way to justify this movie is put it right after yolt so connery doesn't have intervals
then put in ohmss then start of the roger moore generation with for your eyes only and go from there you get a good intro to roger you get better revenge and finish blofeld I do wish mcclory hadn't been such a douche so there was no blofeld for tswlm but now that hes dead prey for cat
This is a great trailer but I love DAF the way it is. It has a truly awesome soundtrack by Barry, which I think is his best, and a Connery performance where he seems to be enjoying it all. Wint and Kidd, much maligned in some quarters, are memorable Bond villains, and I've never seen Vegas look as glamorous as it does in this film. The climax could, and should, have been better, with Bond chasing Blofeld to a salt mine, with a fight to the death, but I'm grateful for this memorable Bond movie.
@MrGazMac omg you are like a genius or something I mean that wouldve been all the better they need more hand to hand bond and blofeld thats why i always defend this movie too is connery and blofeld this was definetly good and anyone who calls it the same shit as DAD is a asshole not saying u did but wih the whole laser thing
Definitely looks better than the film. The only thing I missed was the use of the James Bond theme at some point, but still this is an improvement. Since OHMSS didn't do well financially it just seemed that they wanted to pretend that it didn't happen or something. It's sad because OHMSS has since gone on to be considered one of the best in the series. I would have really liked to see a gritty revenge story like the one you show here.
@vaj99, I chose my words poorly and yes it certainly wasn't a failure. What I meant was that the film was considered disappointing when compared to the other Bond films, especially by the studio. They even make that clear in the OHMSS documentaries on the dvd. They wanted a scape goat so they blamed it on George Lazenby. It definitely seems ridiculous all considering but for some reason that was their conclusion.
@vaj99 that's what Lazenby said but the studios deny this. They said that they replaced Lazenby because they felt he hurt the film from earning higher profits. The film was a success but for what ever reason it was not the success that the studio was hoping for. It seems unfair. If you don't believe me then watch the making of feature on the dvd. David Picker, former president of United Artists said "The fact is that the film didn't do as well. We had to blame some body, so we fired the star"
I dont like the space laser idea but it was such a better film than moonraker or die another day or any peirce borsnan 007 movies that sucked and I like it better than ohmss just because no connery but right on with licence ta kill and i love livin daylights too
It could have been so much better if it was played as a revenge movie with a much more sinister Blofeld and lived up to the teaser. Also Bambi and Thumper deserved a bigger role.
I love all Bond movies but Diamonds Are Forever was the weakest one - typical storyline, not so many action scenes plus Bond girl (Jill St. John) was weak and useless. I wish Lana Wood had more screen time She ws really great.
where as the choice of Tom Mankiewicz's screenplay to make Bond a little more 70's American definitely has mixed emotions especially following up OHMSS... it began an entirely different franchise, in my opinion. There are moments that are very 60's Bondonian (pre-title sequence, battle on oil rig, Vegas car chase for example)... however, if it werent for John Barry's brilliant score, cinematography, fast editing and Ken Adam's sets & connery's return, this film would have been a massive failure.
Thanks for your comment. It's interesting that Connery, who became superstar in the 1960's as Bond, did not appear in OHMSS which was the last Bond film of the 1960's era...that distinction, as you know went to Lazenby. And then, Connery "returns" and takes
the role on last time in the first Bond film of the 1970's... there's so much "reversal of fortune" in the Bond film legacy...
So, what is your favorite Bond film and your favorite Bond actor?
call me old fashioned... connery... From Russia With Love... the most 3 dimensional, cold war thriller that Hitchcock could have easily made. Thunderball is simply fun... love it, love the beach and tropics, so this is a no brainer- barry's score superb. Best Moore: For Your Eyes Only... entirely different from the other Moore's prior to that... again, 3 dimensional with villians less so megla-maniacal. Although Im not that old, was introduced to the films, later the novels at an early age-hookd
From Russia w/Love happens to be my favorite as is Connery.
As for Roger Moore, my favorite is his debut film, Live and Let Die. Your comment about For Your Eyes Only is interesting. Personally, I think this should have been Moore's last Bond film...never cared much for Tim Dalton or Pierce Brosnan...
i can watch live and let die, the man with the golden gun, the spy who loved me, moonraker, and octopussy all day!! my best friend is a conney fan, and always defeat our favorites bond films.
Realy nice trailer. This makes me want to see this movie again, even though i know how bad it is:P This movie should have been the epic final chapter in the Connery/Lazeby era, 6 films to build up the tension, they had everything to make this the greatest and most interesting Bond film, and they blew it.
Interesting and good retake on what I consider the nadir of the Bond franchise. (having only seen through the Connory, Lazenby and Moore eras so far). Somehow some of the more daffy Bond movies deserve treatment like this in your trailers...(something akin to "Moonraker" or "A View to a Kill"...can't say "The Man with the Golden Gun" cause that film just works start to finish)
@powersevilgoldmember well i kind of liked connery in this one and it wouldve been interestin 2 see how ohmss wouldve turned out with him but still i liked lazenby 2 a little it was just too spurr of the moment 2 have the most pivital bond flick with a one time guy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
greattoseeyoufriend is right, you mixed em up all together: on her majestys secret service, diamonds are forever, for your eyes only, and the world is not enough. its a ruin.
The idea for this trailer obviously flew over both your heads.
If I wanted to make a straight DAF trailer I would've put some cheesy music with elephants pulling the slot machines and all. This trailer is just an idea of what the movie would look like had it followed OHMSS.
I thought I made that clear in the description but apparently some people can't grasp the concept of storytelling through clever editing.
Oh, and DAF a classic? hahaha, maybe it would be if they made it like this.
@Chigawa while i side with u i do personally love diamonds are forever the only over the top thing was the laser but blofeld had the right idea on how 2 use it i mean i just like blofelds face time v.s yolt and how its not a dramatic ending like ohmss or casino royale like they shuldve just said she was assassinated in between movies idk im just tryin to justify the flaws in this movie
@TheDrYes then it would have killed the whole concept of the importance of her character tbf ur idea is jus really the same of how they ingored her in this film.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Excuse me, but you must veiw 1:09 lol, you can see her tit. Going wayward from imaturity, this is very good. DAF was funny, not gritty. I like funny, but gritty's abit better.
Holy hell! That was your best Bond trailer hands down...
Considering 'Diamonds' is really a bright, light hearted film, you made it look dark and badass... A more direct sequel as it should have been. Much like 'Quantum'.
I absolutley love the dark, grittiness you added to this film... Superb, excellent work!
An A for effort but nothing could make this movie gritty or half way decent.
