 Alright, let me just stop you there for a second. Here's a question to you, Bond fans. Did you expect or remember Joss's nerdy little girlfriend, Dolly, having braces? If your answer is yes, then you may have experienced what is apparently called the Mandela Effect, a theory concerning multiple alternate realities. And if you're anything like me, you're probably going, what the hell is this nonsense, followed by some hysterics? Multiple realities, shared memories? What is this all about? Alright, you know what, let me just start this thing from the beginning. Beware though, some of this stuff might creep you out a little bit. And I sure as hell ain't gonna make a habit of these types of videos. So anyway, a couple of weeks ago I received a random comment on Recapping Episode 11, my Moonraker review. The comment was quite simple. Do any of you remember Dolly having braces? I thought it was quite funny, as I do always kind of expect her to have braces, and then I'm like, oh right, I guess she doesn't have them. I personally can't remember for sure if I have memories of her ever having them, but I do remember that Cleavage clears day though, so I responded to the guy and he gave me this comment back. Well, I do. She had braces. Weirdest thing though, they aren't there anymore, so strange. She had gaudy, ugly, silver braces that gleamed in the sun like Joss's teeth. It was their connecting point. Now the scene makes no sense. She had braces. Now again, if you're anything like me, your first thought is probably, ah, so it must have been digitally altered then. I've been watching The Bond Blue Race for a few years now, and they could have easily been changed. Well, turns out YouTube has quite a few videos of people remembering these braces, and turning in the earliest Moonraker VCR copy to check it out, and of course find out she doesn't have braces in that one either. Fans apparently were so baffled by this that they managed to contact Blanche Ravillac, the actress that played Dolly, and she confirmed that she never wore braces, and that they were never involved during the making of this film. Well, fair enough case closed. Well, apparently not quite. This guy was so convinced of his vivid memory of her having braces, he told me this phenomenon was called the Mandela Effect, and that I should google this stuff and look it up, and unfortunately, I did. So first off though, Mandela Effect, as in Nelson Mandela? Well, yeah, apparently the phenomenon is a theory behind large groups of people whole sharing the same vivid memory that never existed before in this reality. This occurrence was named the Mandela Effect because apparently thousands of people in the world remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison during the 1980s, but as we know, that never happened. These people actually believe we made a certain shift between different realities. The theory goes that when that company CERN activated that quantum physics machine a couple of years ago, some weird shit started happening and people apparently have been experiencing these things since. So they remember a certain thing being in a certain way in, say, reality A, and it turns out it's actually different now. Thus they believe they have shifted to, say, reality B. Whoa, this is heavy. And there's plenty of these Mandela Effects that people seem to share, some of which really creeped me out and others were pretty hilarious, but I don't want to go into that stuff as my channel is just focused on James Bond only. So, back to Dolly. I fired up Google and started looking into this stuff and it turns out thousands of people remember this chick having braces. Discussions everywhere of people having vivid memories of this. Some even remember jokes that were made about it. Things got a bit more serious when I saw what kind of proof these people were backing this up with. Apparently they have pointed out that there were some discussions between people on very old forums from back in 2001 where the people were actively discussing Dolly's braces, suggesting this conversation took place before this supposed shift. They also found old websites that have character descriptions of Dolly having braces, while the picture next to it clearly doesn't show that anymore. Some have even pointed out the countless parodies done on this scene, and the most notable one for me was the one where Richard Keele is starring as Jaws, and at the end of the commercial it turns out the chick is wearing braces. Was this meant to parody the scene in Moonraker or was this just a funny commercial? Now, more fans were so passionate about all this, they started a full-on investigation on the subject. One guy has done lots of examining on Dolly's teeth in all kinds of instances in the film. Apparently when she drinks the champagne glass by the end of the film for instance, they claim you can slightly make out the braces as if reality truly got distorted. Now, what do I think personally? Well, I like to go for a more rational explanation to all this, like this explanation from a topic on IMDb. When Jaws meets Dolly, there is something cute and clever about this scene. It's that huge Jaws has found his love in such a tiny girl, but in the back of everyone's mind, or maybe talked about later with friends, everybody agrees that the scene would have been perfect and more cute and clever had Dolly worn braces. Then years later, when you watch the movie again, the scene is approaching where Dolly is walking up to Jaws and you think, oh yeah, I remember this, there is something cute and clever about this scene. Yeah, what? She's gonna have braces. And then it turns out she doesn't have them. It's just a false memory, folks. Whatever the case is, I personally don't have super strong memories of her ever having braces, but it's definitely remarkable how much people do seem to have this memory and it's certainly interesting to see how passionate people get about this whole Mandela effect. I mean, you can now even buy your Dolly had braces t-shirts. So I thought this was worth a little video. So what are your thoughts on the whole matter?
