DR. NO | James Bond dispatches Professor Dent

“That’s a Smith & Wesson and you’ve had your six.” James Bond ruthlessly dispatches Professor Dent in DR. NO (1962). Three versions of this scene were written; in the first Dent fires an empty gun and then Bond shoots him dead, the second had Dent fire at Bond, miss and Bond fire in retaliation, the third had Bond shoot Dent before Dent could get to his gun. The first option was the one used in the final film.”

[@chrismc410]

So is Sir Roger Moore. Check out the death of Scaramanga, lied in wait and shot by Bond, much like as we see here. Stromberg's death was also just as ruthless, shot four times, two in the groin, two to the heart Blofeld's death, as silly as it was on the surface, it was long overdue revenge and no matter what the reason is, picking up a wheelchair-bound archenemy and throwing said wheelchair-bound archenemy down a smokestack is a cold and cruel death. Locque's death was also as cruel as it comes, kicking a man's car down a cliff and saying said man has no head for heights is cold as it gets. Octopussy, killing near 100 people in the pre-title sequence alone in the attempt of destroying a plane while evading a surface-to-air missile. Said missile destroyed the plane, killed the colonel he was sent to impersonate, and nearly 100 guys in that hangar Shooting four guys on a train, no words, no quips, no nothing. Mowed down 10 guys in Kamal's palace, also pretty cold and cruel. When one thinks of Bond, one of two men come to mind, the only two men who were knighted for their portrayals of Bond. The two men who one, created the the onscreen character, set the standard as well as the ruthless side of Bond, the other portrayed the charming gentleman side and a reminder that the cold, cruel ruthless side is still there. When one thinks of Bond, no matter who gets the role in the future, two men will always come to mind: Sir Sean Connery and Sir Roger Moore.

[@johnnytyler5685]

For anyone wondering...the reason Connery says "that's a Smith & Wesson and you've had your six", despite Dent CLEARLY using a Colt 1911 (which held seven in the mag and could hold eight total with one in the chamber) was because the script initially called for Dent to be using a REVOLVER in this scene. But at the last minute, someone decided they wanted Dent to use a suppressed weapon. While revolvers CAN be suppressed, the only gun that fit the bill and was available to the production team at the time was the Colt 1911 with a suppressor on it, and so that is what they went with. Unfortunately, they switched guns and then never changed the line of dialogue to more accurately describe the gun that Dent ended up using in this scene, so Connery pointing out that Dent is using "a S&W" is simply wrong and sounds ridiculous, even if the line itself is a great one. Also, as other people have pointed out, Bond didn't even really have to count the rounds because once the slide locks back on the 1911, it's empty. But that again points to the fact that a revolver was initially called for in this scene...without counting the six rounds off, there would be no way to know if Dent had another round or two left in the cylinder had he actually been using the S&W revolver that was initially in the script. But as you can see in the video, Dent DID fire off six rounds and his gun WAS empty...he simply was NOT using a S&W revolver as Bond claims, and the Colt 1911 he was using should've had AT LEAST seven rounds in it, and it could've held as many as eight.

I've come to appreciate Connery's reaction to the killing. It can be taken different ways but I see James breathing a sigh of relief, having encountered a man determined to end his life and making sure he'd never ever get another chance at it. This is the stress that can explain a lot of his quirks and habits.

[@0megacron]

Perfectly sums up the reason Bond always wins. The villain fired all of his bullets at a single target without even verifying it was Bond first. Bond, on the other hand, easily dispatched his target with a single shot. The second shot was just in case. Better safe than sorry, after all.

@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Not neccessarily. Firing seven or so shots before checking is actually intelligent for two reasons. 1) If Bond were a light sleeper, then getting close to check the face would mean risking Bond waking up and tackling Dent before getting a shot off. 2) Firing 2 or 3 shots might not have been enough to kill or disable a normal human being, especially in the hands of a "less accurate" gunman like Dent who might not hit any vital spots. Being smart enough to know that, Dent firing all six or seven shots would have insured keeping Bond either dead or disabled enough not to get up right away. This "assassination" would have worked for almost anyone. It just so Dent was dealing with a high level operative who planned ahead.

The victim does not have enough time to do anything. The assailant would shoot, see the person move (thus confirming it is a person) and then shoot again. The victim isn't going to pull some black magic before he gets shot again. It's laughably dumb that someone coming to kill someone wouldn't confirm where the person is.

in the movie dr. no the villain dr. no is killed but in the cartoon series james bond jr. dr. no is alive that does not make sense

[@JThom529]

Yeah for efficiency. The Professor felt too doomed to give up info or turn himself in so Bond pretty much did him a favor since whatever Dr. No would do is probably a lot worse if said Professor was willing to die than sell him out

[@PabloRuizMega]

@@JThom529 it does not make sense at all

[@waynecassels3607]

I remember as a teenager, when I first saw this scene I realized that it was the first time I had ever seen the "good guy" kill someone who was completely defenseless. And the second shot in the back! I was both shocked and fascinated. James Bond changed movies forever! And no one could have done it better than Sean.

[@sanapadsense1999]

Defenseless maybe but with the intention to kill him.

Rest In Peace, Sir Sean. You will go down into the annals of cinematic history as a legendary actor. Your charisma and style will never find any successor. I am sure you are having a jolly time wherever you are. - An ardent fan

I have seen um all, Moors, persons and Craigs, but none even come close to the real one. Walk, talk, looks, timing and whole persona will never be matched. He owns the damn franchise. RIP Mr Bond, I mean James Bond. May all the drinks are shaken without asking for eternity.

So he fires three shots, then three more, and the slide is back, so that means he’s out of ammo. Then he picks up the pistol and the slide is now closed. He must have seen the slide back and saw he was out of ammo. Then when he dropped it, the slide must have returned into battery. He fired on an empty chamber. Bond doesn’t miss much.

[@jedley01]

I appreciate this movie understands that a suppressor doesn’t completely eliminate the sound of a gunshot.

[@jbkormos]

Problem is that Dent's weapon was a Colt 1911. More, when he initially fires it, he empties it and the slide locks open. Later in the scene, the slide is closed imparting that it is still loaded. A serious mistake in terms of continuity. What's interesting is that I picked this up as a child when I saw the film for the first time.

[@clintleffingwell8129]

And it went to slide-lock after only six shots. I read somewhere that the script was originally written for a S&W revolver, but they didn't modify the dialogue after the prop was switched to a 1911.

Lots of people commented about the gun being a 1911 or that it has more rounds than that. The Smith & Wesson Model 52 is a 5+1 38 special 1911

[@mrradman2986]

And first produced in 1961 according to Wikipedia so would have been available to Dent.

thats why i love Connery's James Bond. No special effects or superhero stunts, just a professional and cold blooded agent. "its a S&W and you've had your 6" is the best bond line ever.

The fact that Bond's second shot generated a big reaction from Professor Dent means that Dent was just pretending to have died.

No, he wasn't pretending, he was wounded severely. You shoot someone in the spine while they're still alive they're going to twitch.
