Absolutely staggering that Desmond Llewellyn started with 'From Russia with Love' in 1963 and continued to star in every Bond film(except Live and Let Die) up until and including 'The World is Not Enough' 36 years later in 1999.He was such an amusing and integral character in the series.Gone but not forgotten.R.I.P.

If Desmond had not died in a car accident, he would have come back for Die Another Day as well. It was a cruel joke of fate that they introduced a potential replacement in that film and then had to use that person as such that in the next one.

Desmond Llewellyn originally was going to play Q deferential to Bond, reasoning he must be impressed with him like everyone else. Director Guy Hamilton told him "No, no. You don't like the man! He has no respect for your inventions!" And that's the way he played it ever since!

WRONG Inside Bond movies documentary The original James Bond movies actor is CARY GRANT. He was the main candidate for James Bond in Dr No. Grant was an old FRIEND of Albert R Broccoli and attended his wedding.The best man. Roger Moore was also thought of as a BOND in Dr No. They could NOT spend almost all the money to buy Roger Moore free from the TV contract. By then there had been no Bond films. Then they waited and checked if Moore was available several times. 1961 1964 1967 1968 and 1972 when he got the role of BOND for the second time. Only debuted in the movies. Not like BOND 007. That's one of the few more reasons why Moore first played James Bond 007 in Mainly Millicent on television in 1964. Moore is an old FRIEND of Christopher Lee. Lee and Ian Fleming are in the same family. That's one of the few more reasons why ALBERT R BROCCOLI was an actor in his Bond films. The Spy who love me and Moonraker IMDB AND Wikipedia. Ian Flemings Bond movies actor: David Niven Fleming would probably accept Roger Moore as James Bond in Dr No. NEVER Sean Connery. That's one of the few more reasons why BOB SIMMON's STUNTMAN played Bond first in Dr No. Gunbarriel sequence HISTORY. Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman could only CONTINUE with BOB SIMMONS STUNTMAN as BOND in Dr No-Goldfinger. Wreck Connery as BOND in Dr No. . The way to say the name borrowed from The Saint films from 1939/1940. (My name is Templar Simon Templar / Templar Simon Templar) The Saint in London the Saints VICATION Connery debuted in Dr No in Casino. 7 minutes after Bob Simmons stuntman. Not in GUNBARRIEL SEQUENCE as MANY people think. Connery got the role of BOND in Dr No because of Darby O'gill and the little people and that CARY GRANT ROGER MOORE AND DAVID NIVEN can not. Connery is DANA BROCCOLIS BOND ACTOR. Dr No Director Youngs James Bond movies actor Richard Johnson The real Sean Connery's Bond movies are from Thunderball you only live twice Diamond are forever and Never say never again. There, Connery does the same as Bob Simmons' stuntman in the first 3 Eon Productions Bond films. Dr No From Russia with love and Goldfinger. Gunbarriel sequence HISTORY.

I never did work out why a car with bulletproof windows needed a bulletproof screen that rose up behind the rear window.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

You actually see it in the film, namely when he runs the guard shack and the grandma comes out with the MP40, she machine guns the front window and damages it pretty badly, and naturally as your not going to be driving out of the rear when your driving forward, or you need to back up without giving them a clear shot, it saves the rear window and prevents it from being badly damaged or broken as you do so like it was in that scene. granted your statement is an understandable one given the poor choice of words there, as it really should have been bullet resistant, not bullet proof in the script, as back then the way they did bullet proofing was basically just to put some really thick multi layered glass and then fill the car body with concrete, which under sustained fire like that probably isnt really that accurate to describe as bullet proof either. but given guy hamilton's son was the one who came up with a good portion of the gadgets, including the very unsafe and very inaccurate to use machine guns, I think its best not to really think about it too hard lol

They had the bulletproof screen up and showed us how the machine guns extended and retracted and how the number plates flipped. For all the other gadgets (such as the tire slashers), the sexy woman who was demonstrating the car told us they couldn't show them since the gadgets needed a certain amount of hydraulic pressure to operate and the ejector seat needed a 40 foot clearance which would have hit the roof of the building.

It's so much better than on tv/dvd to see it in the cinema, it's the sound in a large auditorium rather than just the visuals although you can't beat that either. Unfortunately we are being mostly denied of the cinematic experience in the pandemic😷

[@visionist7]

Last night I saw No Time To Die at the cinema in Italy, in English. Sadly the sound was turned down way too low for my tastes. Nothing boomed in that cinema. Way too quiet. Whereas when I watched Craig's four films leading up to NTTD, I had my amp on THX Reference level and it is absolutely deafening. Thunderous audio. I know which I prefer!

[@MetalHeadJagger]

Man Goldfinger had one memorable scene after another this movie is definitely one of the greatest of all time

[@whiteribbonman1]

Even in year 2020, with right-hand drive to boot, I would gladly, respectfully, eagerly drive his DB5 around California.

[@johntim3491]

A few years ago I was lucky enough to race a DB5 around Mallory Park for a few laps as part of a track day. Exiting Gerard's my instructor mumbled something about "outside" - so naturally I quickly pulled to the outside of the bend. Turns out that what he actually said was "mind the D-Type on the outside" - in reference to the Jaguar D-Type that was overtaking 100mph faster around the outside of the bend. My first introduction to "accelerated learning".

The Best Bond and Q - no contest

[@adrianl7147]

My single favourite Connery scene. Rest in Peace, Sir Sean and thank you for all those great moments.

[@ThatAlternateHistoryLad5]

It's depressing to know that both James Bond and Q in this scene have gone... RIP Sir Sean Connery and Desmond Llewelyn

Inside Bond movies documentary The original James Bond movies actor is CARY GRANT. He was the main candidate for James Bond in Dr No. Grant was an old FRIEND of Albert R Broccoli and attended his wedding.The best man. Roger Moore was also thought of as a BOND in Dr No. They could NOT spend almost all the money to buy Roger Moore free from the TV contract. By then there had been no Bond films. Then they waited and checked if Moore was available several times. 1961 1964 1967 1968 and 1972 when he got the role of BOND for the second time. Only debuted in the movies. Not like BOND 007. That's one of the few more reasons why Moore first played James Bond 007 in Mainly Millicent on television in 1964. Moore is an old FRIEND of Christopher Lee. Lee and Ian Fleming are in the same family. That's one of the few more reasons why ALBERT R BROCCOLI was an actor in his Bond films. The Spy who love me and Moonraker IMDB AND Wikipedia. Ian Flemings Bond movies actor: David Niven Fleming would probably accept Roger Moore as James Bond in Dr No. NEVER Sean Connery. That's one of the few more reasons why BOB SIMMON's STUNTMAN played Bond first in Dr No. Gunbarriel sequence HISTORY. Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman could only CONTINUE with BOB SIMMONS STUNTMAN as BOND in Dr No-Goldfinger. Wreck Connery as BOND in Dr No. . The way to say the name borrowed from The Saint films from 1939/1940. (My name is Templar Simon Templar / Templar Simon Templar) The Saint in London the Saints VICATION Connery debuted in Dr No in Casino. 7 minutes after Bob Simmons stuntman. Not in GUNBARRIEL SEQUENCE as MANY people think. Connery got the role of BOND in Dr No because of Darby O'gill and the little people and that CARY GRANT ROGER MOORE AND DAVID NIVEN can not. Connery is DANA BROCCOLIS BOND ACTOR. Dr No Director Youngs James Bond movies actor Richard Johnson The real Sean Connery's Bond movies are from Thunderball you only live twice Diamond are forever and Never say never again. There, Connery does the same as Bob Simmons' stuntman in the first 3 Eon Productions Bond films. Dr No From Russia with love and Goldfinger. Gunbarriel sequence HISTORY.

[@katrienbuekers8289]

Why not 2007?

[@marvinkelley6339]

I saw this movie when I was a child and it immediately made me an old soul.

[@mebsrea]

I didn't realize until seeing this again how big a man Desmond Llewelyn was when younger. Connery was bigger than most other actors of his time, but looks a size smaller than Q.

[@Martin9476]

Whenever I watch a film from the 1960’s, there’s a part of me that wishes I’d been around to experience that decade. Seems like it was a great time to live.

[@Atombender]

Q: *Uses a live human as a test subject for a newly developed bullet proof vest* Also Q: "It's not perfected yet."

[@doncallangher6177]

The Aston inspired me in my 2nd yr college engineering class to fabricate a double license plate (three was too difficult) as a final project using sheet metal, springs, and a bicycle cable feeding to a knob under the dashboard. The fake plate would hinge under the bumper and flip up over the real plate. I planned to use it to bypass parking meters, collect all the tickets I wanted and just keep swapping the fake numbered plate. I was shocked when my two professors thought it was a marvelous idea.

[@josef596]

Oh I miss these days. And I wasn’t even born then.

[@geoffreystout5814]

Desmond Llewelyn lived in Hastings and when he wasn't working signed on at the local dole office where I worked in the 70's. I signed him on at the desk many times, lovely man!

[@Jleed989]

I expect you to bring all of this back in pristine order!

[@red5llaw]

This was MOVIE HEAVEN. All acting, great writing and NO BLUE SCREENS.

[@AbrahamLechLacha]

Imagine going to the movies during this era? One would see this film and then walk into another theater and see a Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western. Or a Dean Martin film. Now, It seems like a Century ago...

[@ladamyre1]

This was the car that helped me teach my 4 year-old daughter the lesson that knowledge is power. Here's how... We were watching the scene where Bond uses the ejector seat to expel the Chinese henchman from the car. I then turned to her and said, *_"They call him James Bomb because he always has a bomb in his pocket."_* She dutifully nodded her understanding of my interpretation of how he got his name. But shortly afterwards she began to tug at my sleeve and when I answered she said, *"Daddy, They're saying BOND, not Bomb.",* and I replied, "I know. I'm so embarrassed. Boy, am I glad I didn't say that in front of a stranger. I'd feel like a complete fool." She nodded her agreement. After that she was a grammar nazi. I repeatedly would say stupid things and she would correct me. It is my belief that that one event is what flipped the switch in her brain that said, "Even though I'm little, I can learn things daddy doesn't know, and that is so cool!" Parents, never belittle your kids. Give them cause to believe they can be greater than you are, and they won't let you down.

[@Xtreemo]

That is so sweet! I hope your daughter turns into a lovely woman.

[@jonathannagel7427]

Next lesson for Little Nelly: “Never let them see you bleed, and always have an escape plan.” (And if you want to go deep, it’s morbid that Desi disappeared into the ground in his last Q scene before passing).

[@lukedaley17]

The debut of the DB5. Can’t wait to see it again in NTTD.

[@nozyspy4967]

I like how the guy with the ballistic vest gets shot multiple times with a machine gun, and Q nonchalantly says "oh its not perfected yet" 😅

[@ricardocantoral7672]

In the novel, Bond drove the DBIII which was equipped with a reenforced steel bumper, a storage compartment for firearms, and a radio that picked up the signal from the "homer". No machine guns, smokescreen, oil spray, revolving number plates, etc.

[@tomlake2732]

The DB III did have taillights that could change shape. That would be useful when being followed at night.

[@DavidbarZeus1]

The novel also had a glaring issue that the movie referenced and then fixed

[@AndrewPkr]

Near to me there is a nursing home that was the birth place of Desmond. By the front door there is a small unofficial plaque that says he was born there. Think it's nice that someone took the trouble to proudly remember him. I always look for it when I visit due to my profession.

[@nelsonc6173]

It's my all time favorite James Bond Film. All the characters and story devices are officially set here making the whole movie run smoothly! It really is Connery at his best as Bond!

[@jackcoombs8769]

A bond in another realm. Pure quality. These were some of the best films ever made full stop. Daniel Craig did a good job but directors and script writers actually knew their craft when this was made.

[@MWEric]

Q Branch always looked for to all the gadgets developed created in the Bond movies and how Q was no nonsense always serious demeanor.

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

It’s crazy to think that Bond’s OG car was a Bentley. But no wonder nobody remembers it, because the DB5 blows it out of the water with being so badass and iconic.

[@Glenn1967ful]

His original car was a Sunbeam Alpine in Doctor No. The Alpine was used in the first ever Bond chase, where 007 shakes off The Three Blind Mice in their hearse.

[@gorillachilla]

so crisp and clean, man cant tell this was made in the 60s

Hence having to stop off for a quick one en route.

i remember having this car in a matchbox sized version that i got at a toy store at the disneyland hotel in the early 1970s.everything worked,the ejection seat,the machine guns popped out dont remember what else it did.wish i still had it ,it would be a collecters item.

[@raminybhatti5740]

When Bond mentioned stopping off for a quick one en route, I'm not sure if he was alluding to a drink or a woman... 😅😂

[@sheldon-cooper]

All three

But in what order?
