30 Years Of James Bond Part 2/5

30 Years Of James Bond -- London Weekend Television Documentary

This is the crème de la crème, the original and best of James Bond tributes. The program was broadcast on Saturday October 3rd 1992 and followed the UK première of The Living Daylights. Although the stunts and special effects have been thoroughly documented on the DVD's since, this was the first program that lifted the lid on how they achieved them. Rare interviews with the late Derek Meddings and John Stears are featured here and have never been seen since. Also all 5 Bond directors and the 4 Bond's, up until that point agreed to be interviewed especially for the show. I don't remember Sean Connery giving an interview specifically related to Bond since he recorded this one during the filming of Rising Sun, so that's quite a coup in its self. Also there was some incredible behind the scenes footage like glimpses of George Lazenby's screen test and outtakes of Ross Kananga's crocodile run that although common place now were unseen at the time. There's also a great title sequence, the show was very nicely produced and left you wanting more.

@eljefekief Derek Meddings was a genius in Special F/X plus Models & Miniatures The best Special Fx he had done were in The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only & Goldeneye his Last James Bond Film (R.I.P) pity that he didn't win an Oscar for Special FX in Moonraker, He did Win For Superman (1978)

[charlieiscool1000]

LOLLL did anyone else notice the police cheif say "What the...Fuck"

[TheLegendfamily]

Yeah, and I think that it's a form of continuity as well, which fans seem to find reassuring. Changing it would be like switching Bond's designation to 0098, or something akin to that.

[beastcreation]

like with M, used as a position of power.

[TheLegendfamily]

Agreed, I think that they made Cleese the new Q because they were probably sticking with the whole "Q" stands for Quartermaster thing. That originally comes from the Fleming authored Bond novels, IIRC.

[beastcreation]

Ironically, in the world is not enough, Q was training him as R. I think they did a big mistake by making him Q and not keeping him as R...

[TheLegendfamily]

Yeah, so do I mate; I've heard a few rumours here & there, but nothing definite so far I'm afraid.

[58fenix]

I hope whoever they pick to play Q in

bond 23 if there is a Q.I hope he's

great.
