Agent R Entertainment James Bond Month: OHMSS OT

[bluebellbodie]

this tune rocks-2012 an it's still being hit on

[ndjcful]

Greatest soundtrack till Casino Royale

[sotahullu56]

best Bond song ever :)

[rocksmeller99]

what a coat of arms!

[aztecgoddess83]

My all time favorite Bond film!!!!!!!!!!

[Tabish29]

@keirdullea You're in a small minority. OHMSS is a cult favorite. Lazenby had never acted in his life prior to this. He was very very good.

[Tabish29]

The bezst score of them all. So much emotion for me when I hear it. And I LOVED the old footage they used int he credits. Class.

[BIAPBLUE]

its a pity he didnt make more

[JaReD123RoX]

has anyone ever read the book? i did in juvienial hall, the day i got out i watched this sexy movie

[armageddon2419]

HANDS DOWN....THE BEST BOND FILM EVER!!!......and bye the way.....LAZENBY IS MOST LIKE THE BOND FLEMING IMAGINED

[texsportpub]

@armageddon2419 Yes, he was. This is the BEST Bond film ever.

[gouzbekistan1]

I am in the minority fo people who think George Lazenby was the best Bond. After that, Dalton, Craig, Connery, Brosnan and Moore, but even Moore was a great Bond. I guess I'm just an optomist

[jimjam69]

john barry at his finest and this james bond at his worse.ty for posting .

[3friend]

One of the best Bond movies-John Barry a genius-music brilliant,fantastic stunts,great adventure-5*!!

[lynhoward1]

I agree. Best Bond, Best Bond movie, Best Bond girl, and the whole film does not date like the others because it was made way before it's time and that's probably why the audiences did not take to it at the time. They should never have let the press on to set. It caused a lot of misery all round.

[10010056]

The best Bond film of them all with the best Bond of them all.

[MCP2012]

HOWEVER, not to be a wet blanket, but there's the glitch at the very first, not catching the first measure or so of the score. Then there's other glitches near the end, particular at 2:11, where it just skips a measure or so, then also it does actually follow-thru to the actual end of the Main Title score, but instead truncates it bit. Again, not to be gratuitously nit-picky, BUT: WTF is up with all THAT, gfdi!? If u're gonna post it, post it f'ing right, again, gfdi!

[odannyboj]

@MCP2012 you wish your blanket was wet!

[MCP2012]

@odannyboj Not especially, no.

[JaReD123RoX]

@MCP2012 fag

[MCP2012]

@JaReD123RoX F.O.A.D., bitch, F.O.A.D.!

[MCP2012]

OHMSS is still, to this day, the best (i.e., best-realized) Bond film of all time, as good as the others (especially the Connery ones and Dan Craig's) nonetheless also are. George Lazenby did a fine (if not indeed superb) job in his first acting role. Diana Rigg is, well Diana Rigg. Telly is great. The direction & editing is crisp. And John Barry's score, as with virtually all his work, is simply magnificent! Thanks for posting!

[DanielBowden1975]

Best Bond Soundtrack by miles

[madeinprl78]

In my opinion Daniel Craig is really great actor as a James Bond, i think one of the best.

[sugreev2001]

I think this is the most underrated movie in the series.If George Lazenby wasn't such a pain to work with,maybe EON would have continued the series with him.I liked the fact that he gave Bond a kind of vulnerability that only recently we saw again with Daniel Craig.

[MCP2012]

@sugreev2001 It wasn't that Lazenby was such a pain to work with. He just mistakenly thought the series had run-its-course, and didn't want to be saddled & typecast with it. Big mistake on his part, bless his Aussie heart. His Bond is a good as Sean's (which is, of course, mind u, saying a lot!), and, yes, ideally, he should've stayed with the series. But OHMSS remains an absolute cinematic GEM! Almost, if perhaps not quite, flawless!

[TheGuyThatsAwesome]

This was a pretty good Bond film. The skiing part was cool.

[glenw89]

i love the film :-)

but this song sound's abit like someone farting lool

[NYCPulpHero]

dumbass

[antiochus66]

this really is one of if not the best bond films.

i came to this film very late after seeing most of the others and i thought lazenby was really rather fantastic.

i am not a fan of the latest james bourne i mean bond,daniel craig looks like the bastard son of sid james....

[stardingo747]

It has to happen man, it hast to happen.

I wanna see Bond duel Golgo 13.

[stardingo747]

Eon pictures is very patriotic.

they make Bond films for queen and country.

[supermankicass]

I love this pose 2:23. And I love the theme and movie.

[welcomegohome]

i miss old bond opening themes like this...

[MicroBrainy]

Thanks to Propellerheads for re-version of that music/

[DangerouslyYours]

It is a masterpiece of a Bond opening theme. One of the all-time greats.

[kassop]

The first instrumental bond theme, love it.

[jasongreenwooduk2]

second after dr no

[pelayofromhell]

actually the third one... from russia with love had also an instrumental theme... yeah there was vocal song but is used only at the end credits

[qusola]

Lazenby is a very good bond in a very good movie ! and the music is excellent !

[Omega6334]

I agree, Lazenby was a very good Bond in O.H.M.S.S. The theme is excellent as is Louis Armstrong's We Have All The Time In The World, the last song he did before he died.

[JimJoker0077]

I think this is the best bond theme ever...

[ElectricBluePetroil]

60s: Best Bond-Thunderball Worst Bond- Dr. No (but not one of the worst)

70s: Best Bond- The Spy Who Loved Me Worst Bond - The Man with the Golden Gun

80s: Best Bond- For Your Eyes Only Worst Bond- Licence To Kill

90s: Best Bond-Tomorrow Never Dies Worst Bond-The World is Not Enough

New Milenium: Best Bond- Casino Royale  Worst Bond- Die Another Day

[kassop]

wrong

[surferriness]

george lazenby was the best bond

[john6380]

The Best Bond Movie Ever!

The Best Plot, Score, Woman, Villian, Locations, Opening Credits Sequence (Can you believe USA Network edited out the nipples? IT'S PG FOR GOD SAKES!), Lair, Battles, Stunts, I can go on and on and on.

George Lazenby wasn't as good as Sean Connery, but he could have been if he'd stayed on. So much potential was wasted there.

[sligo74]

For your eyes only was dodgy, Goldeneye was shite too, actually Brosnan was shite fullstop

[ElectricBluePetroil]

I wouldn't exactly say For Your Eyes only was "dodgy" per se, although I do agree that Goldeneye is overrated :)

[bigdaddyjoe99]

all the bond movies are good. some better than others, but they are all good to some extent. the three films i personally dont like is die another day, a view to a kill, and the man with the golden gun

[bigjamesbondfan]

There is NO bad Bond movie!!!!!!!

[JWade29]

I take it you didn't watch Die Another Day

[bigjamesbondfan]

I have watched every single Bond movie and I love them all!!!!!!!

[Tabish29]

@bigjamesbondfan Quantum was terrible. So was never say never and Diamonds.

[bigjamesbondfan]

@Tabish29 Both QOS and DAF were terrific Bond movies, NSNA wasn't part of the official James Bond series so I dont consider it an official 007 movie.

[Barbituranek]

England for White People

[stevestutz]

most underrated bond, it's a shame that inside politics didn't let him come back! Lazenby was awesome!

[Setebos]

I'm glad someone else appreciates Lazenby as Bond.  And Diana Rigg as a Bond Girl!!!!!!! Wow!

[Ferosious3]

Worst Bond ever, and i dont want to start an argument, Daniel Craig is the best Bond.

[itwontcomeout5678]

this is one of the best. don't post if you don't like it. shut the fuck up. the only bond film you can "hate" is that god-awful abomination of incest called "Die another Day"

[germanjaguar]

Lazenby was the best!

[Kubrickfan1]

must agree...moore too cartoonish....connery too serious...dalton too blah...craig way gay (this is from a fag)...niven too wooden...sellers too ernest...lorre... no one remebers this do they?

[spicnspanish]

LMAO at the thought of a gay guy thinking Craig is "too gay!"

Did Niven play Bond in the original Casino Royale? What about Sellers and Lorre? Just how many Bonds are there lol?

[Kubrickfan1]

Yeah all my friends are Bond fans now that Craig is playing him, their hearts are a-flutter. Yes Niven and Sellers played Bond in the original Casino Royale. Peter Lorre played him in a TV pilot that I think you can see a clip of on YouTube:)

[antibs99]

sellers wasn't bond he impersonated bond his character was evelyn tremble. the original casino royale was so loosely based on the book i dont regard it as a true bond film. nor was the latest casino royale based on the book but at least it falls in line.

[Kubrickfan1]

Thank you I forgot to split that hair. :)

[Gispero]

I would not claim that he was the best Bond however is performance has been hugely under-rated. I would have like to see him in a few more Bond films.

[SgArchive]

best bond by far.

[Kubrickfan1]

footfalls in perfect synch with the downbeat

[Australopiticus123]

George Lazenby did a very good job for this time, without having any experience as an actor.

The only thing i dont like is, he is talking bad about Pierce Brosnan

[frododarg]

when ?? recent interveiw???

[Australopiticus123]

there was an interview where he was asked which is the best Bond

and he said, that Brosnan was the badest of all actors, and has a feminin look, that woman like at this time.

perhaps you can get more information via Google

[frododarg]

makes sense - all about marketing and

target audiences today

maybe they should take a chance once

and have an independent filmaker do one

of flemmings books !?!?!?

[frfa974]

The best Bond titletrack ever!!

[eddfan13]

the music is best

[alexkrycek21]

Didn't use to like this but have grown to admire it more over time. Similar to For Your Eyes Only with the ski and bobsleigh chases and the lack of gadgets. Bond feels more vulnerable. Very good character development and brilliant support from Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas.

[WillYouDoTheFandango]

Why doesn't GL get his name above the title?

[rogiet3]

OHSS has the best credit scene, the music is brilliant

[sportandmovies]

great film

[Koende2]

I Think the movie is great in story and music

only Lazenby just isnt a Bond guy his accent

and what he dresses in the film just stinks haha

The ski scene i really like!

[qusola]

This opening fit with the tune macarena XD

[zprodigy]

Overrated movie, but one of the best Bond themes ever, i'll give it that. And no lyrics, either, which is even more impressive.

[johan861]

Overrated? This movie follows flemings original novel more than any other move in the series, so do you call flemings origial books overrated?

[zprodigy]

Um, well.... O_o

I didn't like the parts where Bond dressed in a kilt, or the villain's stupid plot. But I wouldn't say its a bad film by any measure. I really liked the bobsled chase.

[johan861]

Bond was disguised as a homosexuall professor.

Thats why he had a kilt.

[zprodigy]

I still didn't like it. Or Blofeld whispering hypnotic messages over the intercom, saying "When you came here you hated chickens. I have taught you to love chickens!" :p

[johan861]

Telly savalas was good as blofeld ;)

[zprodigy]

Not good enough to make "You love chicken!" sound frightening

[matt2house]

I have to agree this wasnt really a top bond film. didnt think lazenby was the type to be bond  mainly cos he wasnt convincing enuff as an englishmen since he's australian. 2ndly he didnt exactly have that english charm & suaveness as connery did. so I still say connery was the best out of em all.

[matt2house]

3rdly terry salvas was probably the worst actor to play as blofeld. The only actor that shined in the film was diana riggs. who can forget her as emma peel eh lads?

[amarsbarr]

Telly Savalas was excellent m8! and diana riggs was ok, i think all the LADS prefer galore... PUSSY Galore aeh hehe :) but i respect your opinion

[CountNomis]

Compared to Sean Connery, Roger Moore was a contemptible, pathetic punk. For that matter, the screenplays for the films that he starred in were crap.

[debaucheryBotched]

It was nobodys fault otherthan it was the 70s ............everything stunk.

[Wierdperson31]

I have never seen the movie, though I'm trying to get my hands on it. I know Blofeld and Bunt drive by and kill Tracy. But then what?

[rezzmenow]

Then the credits roll coz that's the end of the movie...

[Wierdperson31]

That sounds like it would be more fitting for a pre-title sequence. But fine, what happens BEFORE that point?

[vegraville]

The best of all the Bond films and the best theme tune in my opinion. The shot of Lazenby hanging off the clocks hands and almost pulling the clock to run backwards (0:33) is a great image. It was felt by the producers that the Bond films were now over reliant on gadgets at the expense of story. This film was meant to be a return to a stronger narrative base with the 'new' Bond. Hence Lazenby was supposed to, literaly, turn back the clock to the original style of the earlier films

[wftjet]

I never understood the clock turning backwards until now. Definitely a return to old school Bond (e.g. From Russia with Love as the ideal).

[johan861]

It´s the best of all bond film yes.

Lazeby is actually quite good as bond.

[coachhrothgar449]

MOST underrated film of the series. Excellent title, as well.

[amarsbarr]

HAHA OH MY GOD, 7 years of being a Bond Fan and I only just worked out what 'this never happened to the other fella meant' he meant Sean Connery being BOND!! HAHA omg, silly me, lol. i never really knew what he meant by that, but wow great first liner! - yeah i forgive lazenby now after that small small difference - WOW

[pollard7545]

It had two meanings as the slippers were meant to imply Cinderella as well

[saxophone69]

OHMSS represents an identity crisis in the Brocolli camp. How to deal with a change in actor and a change in decade ? The opening sequence has almost apologetic references to the old Bond decade but the John Barry theme still tingles the bits that other themes dont. We are unfairly disparaging towards Lazenby. Successor Bonds were able to learn from the mistakes of his producers. "This never happened to the other fella". No, but to be fair, the other fella didn't have a DB7 or Diana Rigg either.

[Beamshipcaptain]

I saw this film in the theatre when I was 8 years old. Love JAMES BOND in our family, we have all the DVD box-sets!

[krazyrobus]

I like this one because of how they walk us through the good memories of the previous bond movies.

[rickram1961]

This is one of best Bond openings ever.

[JudgeRabbi]

Very stylish. I personally vote this opening theme as my fav. Wish I could get a high res image at 23 seconds into the vid though.

[c5vtman]

My mom and dad's favorite of all of them since they were married the same year this came out.

[ianclivewright]

I always felt this movie was underrated. It works well as a Bond film

The truth is whoever followed Connery was going to have and up hill struggle.

How anyone could say this was a bad Bond after Roger Moore's terrible run of joke Bond movies is really beyond me(I'll give Live and Let Die a pass, just)

The ending was the best as well.

I'd like to see it remade with Daniel though, just for the ski chase.

From Russia with Love, best movie fight or what?

[Hasselhoffhater]

How can you say Roger's films were jokes? Sure they were campy but at least you have fun watching it.

[qusola]

J'aime vraiment l'air et le film avec Coodjak XD et frosshteen :P mais je déteste George lazenby et Diana rigg elle ressemble dun lapin et lui dun commique

[Green18600]

Excellent Opening!! The prevalence of the Union Jack symbol and the clock from London's Big Ben Tower were noticed well in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" from 1969. Spectacular Color Changes!! A Brilliant 6!!

[ghostdivision7]

The first Bond film I have seen.

[graythedude]

i love this theme!

this is one incredibly underated bond film.

and i personally don't think George Lazenby was that bad :)

[yogafan6500]

The 1969 bond classic On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of the best underappriciated bond movies ever made. With George Lazenby as the George Clooney version of James Bond. and Telly Savalas as the real Blofeld he's a lot more better than Donald Pleasance in Y.O.L.T and Charles Gray in D.A.F. check this out on dvd if you like.

[LZBlues00]

This movie may be considered bad, but it has the most important ending of all 007 movies, behind Casino Royale's.

[thedoctor1812]

I think if Lazenby had stayed on, Diamonds Are Forever would have been a lot like Quantum of Solace is about to be.

[rmoshammer]

Great novel, weak movie...

[Burns476]

Very Good special effects for late 60's!!

[sportslover26]

i say it is the best theme and movie

[TroyRulz007Videos]

def best theme

[mkaczam]

This Bond is my favourite, it still holds up today - from the music, to the action sequences (ahead of their time), to Diana Rigg's performance, to the shattering ending.

[007InMiami]

I think it was a mistake showing clips of the Connery films. Should have let this film stand on its own. Not be reminded. And to think OHMSS was followed by the awful Diamonds Are Forever.

[xl319]

Anyone know how the effects for this intro were made? Some pretty advanced stuff here for the 60s. The hour glass must have had coloured sand when it was ebbing away, like a blue screen type thing, some of it gets stuck if you notice as it fades to the next section at around 1:33.

[2hot4paper]

I'd love to know too.

[FabinhoBlue]

Great music [2]

[dcasey77]

Great music, hasn't dated at all

[flyingfortress44]

Truly a masterpiece theme.

[thefreedman]

This is for me the best of the 007 intro, the film it self is great too!

[rrsb]

In despite of Sean Connery quit the role, for me it was the best 007 movie ever made...

[LordAdrian]

One the best openings to me!

[inversion66]

Perhaps lyrics were written for the theme to increase the royalty rate. Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the original Star Trek theme so he got a cut from the theme every time it was played, even though the lyrics weren't actually used on the series.

[Sammy4549]

It's kinda funny how the credits mention lyrics, even though the intro is an insturmental.
