Just remembered this too about this segment. Trina is and was at the time a black belt in Karate. In the beginning of the scenes she knees Bond in the groin. She kept pulling the kick so as not to hurt Connery. The director approached her and told her not to pull the kick. Trina expressed her concerns about hurting Connery, and the director told her not to worry, Connery was wearing protection. When you see her deliver the kick, although they cut the actual impact, you can see the power of the movement. Had this been a real fight, it would have most likely been over at that point.

It appeared Lola Larson was the real deal, she was a trained gymnast and athlete. Judging from the over the top dramatics she incorporated in her fighting style, Trina Parks was a trained dancer...and she did not do some of her stunts. I can see they used a double for Thumper's cartwheel and when she dived into the swimming pool. I am thinking that Donna Garrett, the original Bambi and Trina Parks were the "actresses", and Larson and the unidentified Black lady were their stunt doubles. And in the end, perhaps to maintain more continuity and have less cuts they retained Larson for Bambi's entire role. Parks they kept because she had more close-ups and had the looks.

Connery was getting long in the tooth good time to call it quits

[@zedsdeadbaby]

He was much fitter and more agile in NSNA though, which was twelve years later

[@mdidris4414]

He wasn't actually old, he was only 41, which is younger than when most bond's start their 007 careers. Rodger Moore was older than Connery by 2 years and was about 45 when he took his first role in live and let die. Unfortunately Connery did not age well or take care of himself, hence why he looked older in this film than his actual age.

[@indriadrayton1132]

Connery was great in this movie! Peep how he sneaks into a Vegas hotel wearing a tux and sniffing a carnation standing on top of an outdoor elevator. They used that tux espionage stuff in a Metal Gear game.

[@ΜακηςΛ-ε5ρ]

Connery is Bond until the early 70s. He should have played in O.H.M.S.S. and I can imagine him in ''Live and Let Die'' (producers wanted him), if they made the film in 1972 to celebrate ten years of Bond films. Connery would had ended as 007 from there where he started ten years before (Jamaica). 36.00 - 36.53 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6CXmHl8Z9itjpI

ridiculous ending to this scene. The girls kick Bond's azz until they're in the pool when he nearly drowns them both just by holding their heads at arm's length. Phony, even for 1971.

[@markreeter6227]

Only redeeming quality of this film was Jill St. John.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

@Stepping Playlist 1 Plenty O'Toole, indeed. Wint and Kidd were also entertaining and still managed to be a bit sinister. Jill St John was one of the most incapable of Bond girls - when Wint and Kidd move in for the kill, her contribution is to go "Yee!" and throw a cake, which happens to contain a bomb.

Thank you. From fine tuned fighting machines to damsels in distress. I guess Bond had Baron Von Rashky's claw power in both hands. Wasn't this movie made before Helen Reddy's song Police Woman and Cleopatra Jones?

[@heycidskyja4668]

Bond is clearly letting these girls have their fun and enjoying a little rough and tumble before causally dunking them in the pool.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

Dan Clark Bambi and Thumper specialized in fast attacks with lots of acrobatics involved, and the latter was simply not possible to pull off in the pool, let alone as effectively as they did on dry land in the open air. They might’ve still had a good chance if they had avoided the pool altogether or somehow managed to make it out of the pool, but since the pool took away their biggest advantage in the fight, 007 was able to use that to his own advantage and overpower them. That’s just my guess based on this scene, but it would make sense.
