The Hat Toss - James Bond Easter Eggs

[@MattMorgan813]

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service definitely had the best one! Lazenby does it so quick and casual, a Bond with confidence and precision. And pretty sure in No Time to Die, the ID badge toss was a nod to these classics.

[@Rhubba]

I never drew the link between the hat toss in Moneypenny's office and Bond throwing Oddjob's hat at the bars. Bond prides himself on never missing the hatstand...could it be that he was always intending to lodge the hat in the bars? Goldfinger's script was already great, it might have got greater!

[@janicecampbell4212]

A better scene would have had Bond striking Oddjob with the villain's own hat; hoisted by his own petard! I mean please we've had worst clichéd villain deaths through the years...Hell the series is practically known for them! Then again I wish Jack "McGarrett" Lord would have stayed as Felix. There was such a strong chemistry between him and Sean. But yes Oddjob's hat flying through the bars and landing on the ground behind them would have been OH so much more satisfying than the hat getting stuck...Although it being stuck did lead to Oddjob's demise so maybe...just maybe that was Bond's plan from the beginning. The metallic sharp blade frying him just like the fan in the bathtub during the pre-title sequence. I don't know how many times I've seen Goldfinger, it's one of my all time favorite films. I can't believe I never made that connection before! What a great script!!

[@gordontli]

It's just that a hat stand wouldn't duck but Odd job did.

[@ZombyMammoth]

of course he did. if you watch, Bond sidesteps so that oddjob backs up to the bars.

[@DM-kv9kj]

The first half of Goldfinger is good but after that it becomes really boring and laboured, and I can never get over Bond properly forcing himself on Galore and thereby changing her sexuality too...the suggestions and implications of that are absolutely bizarre, and creepy doesn't even come close. That being said, Craig in Spectre forcing himself on the woman who's husband he's just executed is a very very close second.

[@Argumemnon]

Love how Lazenby just does it so damned casually.

[@mingodingo]

Connery's Bond had the best chemistry with Moneypenny. None of the other one's even came close.

[@jaymalley8866]

@Jack The Film Fanatic correct

[@kyllepoiencot4361]

I think with Lazenby, it was like a son and a mother figure especially at the end with the wedding. It felt like a son going off. With Moore, it felt like Connery’s relationship but aged. They both grew up as an aged couple.

[@frankie3987]

Moore's Bond and Moneypenny is especially disappointing because Moore and Lois Maxwell were friends offscreen. The writing never translated well with the two until the last few entries in the Moore era but they aged so much at that point.

[@M1tjakaramazov]

That’s because Connery’s bond was a more aggressive kind of womaniser and he seemed genuinely into her. In the later instalments the women mostly fell in his lap with zero effort…

[@BlackMuslimConservative]

Skyfall - old dog, new tricks

[@stuartforbes6954]

I'm convinced the moment he throws his ID badge into the bin by Moneypenny's desk in No Time to Die is a nod to the hat toss.

[@glen1555]

Exactly.

[@melvinsamson5684]

Same here!

[@thejumbokomodo6405]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@kingshekk6882]

I wish they just brought back the hat toss somehow in that movie though

[@michaelcarrasquillo4781]

I noticed that when I saw it. It stood out so I figured it was definitely a reference.

[@MooseWithFleas]

Thanks for this collection of hat tosses. Lazenby nails it so effortlessly. I think there is one missing, it's a random short one, but in Moonraker, RM tosses a gondolier's hat after the venice chase.

[@thomasvinciguerra9459]

Quite right. Add it!

[@jjryan1352]

you are a fan!

[@darthraver]

In No Time To Die, we get a similar thing with Bond throwing his name tag in the bin

[@ForceMaximus84]

Bring Back the Hat Toss, EON!!

[@ZombyMammoth]

unfortunately nobody wears hats anymore.

[@KenFromBeara]

And the 007 mission in progress theme

[@UmbrellaGent]

They do have a little callback to the hat-toss in No Time To Die. That's nice.

[@dodykusumanto8377]

We need James Bond hat toss again.

[@akhilvvv1925]

Hats are out of fashion now I'm afraid. Perhaps if they go to the old times in a new bond movie.

[@Ali-xs2ij]

Watch Spectre then

[@jjryan1352]

well the new one is full of tossers. and q is a catcher

[@stevenspenneberg7407]

A lot of people didn’t like the George Lazenby movie. But it was a great film. With some very touching moments. Who didn’t FEEL IT when she cried at his wedding??

[@MyNaday]

I indeed agree that Lazenby's film was one of the best

[@murakisadao]

In No Time to Die, when Bond comes out from M's office after an angry discussion he throws his visitor cars in the trash bin in the same way. Moneypenny ask later in front of the elevator: "do you have any plan for dinner" ...

[@becomematrix]

Sad moneypenny catching the hat in ohmss

[@Jantv81]

Bonds one true sweetheart was Moneypenny of course.

[@ZombyMammoth]

that should've been sean connery throwing it though, shame.

[@ZombyMammoth]

@@TriforceOfMayhem Explain. Sean and Lois Maxwell had 5 movies of chemistry.

[@ZombyMammoth]

@@TriforceOfMayhem A) It isn't rude to ask you to explain your opinion. Get over yourself. B) All you did was explain what happens as if i didn't already know. That's not an argument for why Lazenby's bond has more of a connection than sean's. Its just your personal preference. Sean had more history, plus ian fleming wrote OHMSS specifically for sean's scottish background

[@rwboa22]

@@ZombyMammoth if Sean Connery did OHMSS, just imagine all of the talk about the coincidence of both his death and the death of Dame Diana Rigg in the same year, yet nearly two months apart.

[@MrMwafick]

Too bad nobody wears a hat these days, we need more hat tosses

[@starwarspotholesandtheorie2690]

Bond always was happy that he never missed with his hat toss but then moneypenny throws the hat carelessly and doesnt miss and you can see connery bonds saddesh expression

[@jaketullo317]

Loved the reference in no time to die!

[@platform1productions297]

You forgot the hat toss Easter egg in moonraker where bond throws the stroamboader hat onto the gondola, besides that well done. The interaction that bond and moneypenny have at his wedding always gets me. Man I wish Lazenby did diamonds are forever

[@Argumemnon]

Lazenby doing Diamonds would've been far more fitting, and he did a fine job in OHMSS.

[@ZombyMammoth]

1:10 - "Alright, Bond. Years of tossing your hat in Moneypenny's office has trained you for this very moment. Who's laughing now, M? Certainly not you you old stick in the mud."

[@janicecampbell4212]

Nice touch with Q at the end!

[@XanderPhillips]

That look when moneypenny throws the hat 😂

[@scotia7326]

Wow, I never noticed that the hat toss is what bond applied to kill Oddjob. In Goldfinger, we see bond watch moneypenny throw the hat and he has this small look, we see it come into play later when he gets ahold of Oddjob’s hat and lodges it in the electrical bars.

[@kgvc3421515]

Ending up with Q's complaint is funny.

[@AHHHHHHHHHHHHl]

He tosses a hat in Moonraker too.

[@darkroger7379]

james bond: for my next miracle i... m: really niggha?

[@jerrykochjr]

you missed one! In "Moonraker", Bond is wearing the hat of his dead gondolier, while paddling a gondola in Venice. When he gets out of the boat (to sneak into the glass factory) he tosses the hat onto an oarlock of the gondola, in classic Bond fashion. It's an obvious reference to the hat toss tradition.

[@mantabond]

Well spotted, sir.

[@birdleso]

You missed the follow up on TB, when Bond exits the meeting with M and his hat is missing. "I think I had a hat when I came in."

[@CamaroAmx]

It was done because wearing a hat was going out of fashion so they made a way to have Bond stop wearing one.

[@henryviii6341]

Do the number of wallflower prints in the office denote the number of movies a particular Miss MoneyPenny has been in a Bond Movie? and am fascinated by the changes to the desk lamp and plant pot in each movie.

[@Simple1DEA]

I feel like James' pen toss in NTTD was a throwback

[@jjryan1352]

maybe to golden eye

[@FroMarty]

The visitor badge into the bin

[@DokkaChapman]

and yet I can never picture Bond wearing a hat (unless it's part of a disguise).

[@FroMarty]

It was part of fashion with a suit up until the end of the sixties. Look at Connery and Lazenby in the gun barrel and they are wearing one

[@mantabond]

Well, Connery's Bond did. On not a few occasions.

[@duncanidaho2130]

What a great little gathering. Thanks for the video. Have a great day.

[@delhonradorivera1265]

R I P Sean Connery ☹️

[@WhiteJarrah]

Interesting how Dalton and Brosnan never got the option to do the ceremonial hat toss. Craig still has a chance.

[@dodykusumanto8377]

Because sadly by that point, even since Roger Gunbarell, James Bond never really bother with hat anymore.

[@justcaused6182]

Nop.

[@darylcheshire1618]

I was once audited at work, the auditor resembled Oddjob but without the hat.

[@MyNaday]

A real feast for the eyes, indeed

[@ellipsis-007]
