He was Bond because he used his initiative on few occasions in getting seen by Bond producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, and because he looked the part quite alright and was basically asking for the part - he got it :)
it just back fired on him because he's acting ability wasn't the best, and his fucking accent. God if only he worked on his accent he would be a commendable Bond. He was just in it for the attention and power of other roles and that too backfired on him. what an ass.
i know so many people will disagree, but he was and remains my favourite Bond !
He stepped into an almost impossible role, and was the one to carry the story forward in a real way, rather than special effects.Also, he was the first believable
version of the character, as opposed to the fairy tale version that preceded him, and all the rubbish that carried on after him.how sad it is, that he did not get achance to carry on the role for whatever reason......WE WAS ROBBED!
@ROLANDMC80EX After this he was offered a multifilm deal and turned it down, believing that Bond would wane in popularity during the '70s. And it's probably good he did, as the series probably would have declined in popularity had he stayed in the role. He got the biggest break in film history and threw it away. And while this is one of the better Bond movies, he is absolutely terrible outside the fight scenes.
@ROLANDMC80EX I've always liked Lazenby as well. He's not my favorite, but he does a good job. His agent was the reason he didn't return. He said "Oh, James Bond isn't going to be poular in a couple years, don't sign a contract." What a dumbass.
The music when they beagn to fight, was in my head when i got beaten up a few weeks ago. I tried to defent me, but it where four guys, and one on them had a wooden stick. My wounds where not very bad, but it didn't feel good. When that incident happened, i only could think to this scene.
@nza8888 I agree completeley. But poor Lazenby was duped out of making more. It was his agent's fault. Although I wonder why he didn't sign a new contract...
I like George Lazenby as James Bond. This clip, and indeed his other fight scenes in OHMSS, shows him to be very tough and physical. Lazenby's incarnation of the character could certainly handle himself!
I love the chivalrous imagery in this scene. Having recently read the Ian Fleming novel of the same name, I am eager to re-watch this movie after a long absence.
While the film is a nontraditional Bond affair in terms of both style and narrative, I think it is an important part of the character's development and a mesmerizing look into the compassionate side of a darkly tragic Bond. I actually really want Daniel Craig to be in a remake of this; he could pull it off with a good script..
filmed in Portugal, Cascais, guincho beach

He would have been a great Bond but his ego too big and they dumped him unfortunately.
