[@RealEllenDeGeneres]

Was it really even an error though? It just seems like it'd be hard to track a car moving like that as you're passing by fast while zoomed in. This is more a case of doing it live and hoping for the best. You can't really plan the perfect shot with so many variables.

[@andrewbevan4662]

Dude I freaking love Living Daylights, one of the most underrated Bond films with the most underrated Bond actor.

So glad to see The Living Daylights getting some love! Both of Dalton’s Bond films are super underrated and are well worth a watch.

[@QueenFiria]

Fun fact about the Bond set. After they were done with the submarine hanger, the set went to Riddley Scott for the filming of Legend (1986). The set was furnished with a foam forest with some real trees for filler, birds, and lots of bird feather shavings for snow. Over the course of filming fumes from gas-controlled bonfires gathered in the rafters. Then one day this powder keg of a set caught fire and it ALL burned to the ground. Ridley Scott shelved his work and went golfing after seeing the set completely engulfed.

[@cheekychappy1234]

This sound stage was rebuilt, then burnt down again in 2006 after Casino Royale had wrapped, and then once again rebuilt.

[@scottmanley]

Moonraker had janky 1970's special effects.... but it's the only movie I know which had the space shuttle taking off inverted like the real shuttle did, every other movie gets it wrong, or just uses stock footage. The best sequence in that movie is right at the start where there's a fight for a parachute while falling from a plane. Really, you should do a Stuntmen react to some of the classic bond stunts - like the base jumping in Spy Who Loved Me & View To A Kill. The fights on top of a Train and a Plane(!!!!) in Octopussy. Using live aligators as stepping stones in Live & Let Die. And of course the corkscrew car jump in Man With The Golden Gun

@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive but it was "right in front of the camera" - the camera is on the side facing away from you to capture the background, the display is what faces towards you.

[@HorySmokes]

Fun fact: the submarine hanger set was designed by Ken Adam who had been the Bond production designer since Connery. He was having trouble lighting the set due to the size & ended up contacting an old colleague for help - Stanley Kubrick. He agreed to come in under absolute secrecy on a Sunday to light the set with Adam & it was Kubrick who suggested building the lighting into the set.

The CGI Daniel Craig hands were in the Shanghai Fight earlier. Not in the Macao fight. You see it in Skyfall. He’s wearing the gloves when he’s fighting the guy who falls out the window. They shot it with the gloves on, but had to CGI hands later. It’s the fight with Patrice

[@Thwoorp]

He's wearing gloves in the original trailer.

The most jarring thing about the Spy Who Loved Me shot is the absolutely perfectly straight horizon line of the ocean. Other than that it looks great! Especially for its time

[@grutarg2938]

Yeah, the building is beyond the horizon instead of standing in the water.

[@1zymn1]

Timothy Dalton is the most underrated Bond and his two movies are excellent and he deserved more. I slept on him for too long because of what I heard about it, but having a Shakespearean actor in the role adds gravitas and levity unlike any other Bond performance. You believe it when he's angry, and every other emotion. Everyone should check them out, it's almost Craig before Craig, in some ways I prefer actually.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

[@cameralabs]

Love it, great episode! While the fights in The Spy Who Loved Me look and sound goofy now, that helicopter car chase ending with the Lotus turning into a sub still holds up for me. Some really cool shots in it, especially with the helicopter popping in and out the scenery.

[@AccAkut1987]

17:33 that granate throw is actually pretty realistic, they teach soldiers to throw/roll them like a bowling ball basically in indoor use, as it reduces the chance of accidently letting go of the trigger

[@madmajek]

Yeah i didn't why the laughed at.

[@mrcroob8563]

Do they also teach you to throw it like 80 degrees away from the spot you are looking at?

[@ACuriousTanuki]

Also, it appears to be tossed away from where he's looking because the camera is near the target, looking up. The arc of the grenade as it falls means it moves away from the guy's (and the camera's) line of sight, but would presumably end up pretty close at the end.

[@cheeseninja1115]

@@mrcroob8563 if you actually watch the clip, he is looking where he is throwing. It just seems like he isn't because his head is cocked to the left. You can actually see he has his eyes trained on where he is lobbing the grenade.

@@mrcroob8563 thats not the main point. The actor just looked towards the camera (sort of mistake) and had to let go away from the camera for obvious reasons - imagine you hit the lens with that or any of the operators in the face. 😅 All he had to do to make the shot perfect was look where he dropped the grenade at.

[@umumaomao]

[@lukebaxter3252]

You guys had better do a Stuntmen Reacts dedicated to James Bond to follow this up.

[@DaveNagy]

Fun fact guys: for the supertanker set Ken Adams had some guy he knew come in and help plan out the lighting. That guys name was Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick. He says it somewhere in one of the dvd extras.

Kubrick's inspiration was, instead of trying to illuminate the surfaces directly, to use highlight reflections from the metal elements to define the space.

Still the best fight in any Bond film.

[@chancepaladin]

i'm glad these are finally called out. some of these are like 2-3 cuts PER SECOND.

[@Isnogood12]

After that Moonraker bit, would you maybe do a special on zero-G and how it's been done well and not so well?

[@vincentn.9744]

Wow wow it was such a great episode.. thank you for it guys

[@VikCain]

Ugh, all these old movies hiding their crappy visual effects with fun writing, originality and compelling characters, gross.

[@Daniel__Nobre]

😂

[@coffeecrusader4863]

I know right it's disgusting

[@faizanbaber]

How about we force entire movie on cg artists and make it a cg asset compilation of 2 hours, sounds cool

[@Plexippuspetersi92]

What originality? They're all adapted.

[@coffeecrusader4863]

@@Plexippuspetersi92 only like half of them are. And it's very loose anyway.

[@TheCatBilbo]

8:54 One of the best, Bond openings, I think. Nearly the whole sequence was filmed in Gibraltar, using a lot of military areas closed to the public. Civilians can only travel so far up 'The Rock' because of that. The Land Rover going over the cliff was filmed at Beachy Head, Sussex, UK. Beachy Head is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain (530 feet).

My heart yearns for stunt man reacts 💔

I'm sure Gui is working hard on it at Corridor!

[@TheEnderBand]

perfect timing, I just started re-watching the James Bond movies last night

[@bejita7831]

6:55 - honestly, I feel the Casino Royale scene is too over-the-top to be cool/tense - it's just obviously stunt actors in a stunt scene doing a "big action" sequence. The old version is clunky/cheesy, but I think it does a much better job of conveying an actual man who can get hurt and who should fear danger. New James Bond is just a superhero with unstated superpowers, like a mini-Captain America. I think new-Bond is quite Americanised in the way it communicates to audiences.

[@charoleawood]

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

If having inhuman superpowers and stamina is Americanised, I think Moore’s bond and especially Brosnan’s already started that

[@bejita7831]

@@GuineaPigEveryday Yeah things definitely started getting out of hand with Brosnan (the surfing bit etc.) but not Moore; that's literally the clip we're comparing it to. But still it's become even moreso recently, like the clip at 19:28 - that is straight up the demeanour of a superhero that doesn't fear mortal wounds

[@XxWolfeXx]

Ok. I saw something I haven't seen in a long time, and I feel it is underappreciated. This is the community to ask about it. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans: The fight between the werewolves and the vampires is technically beautifully done. The transitions from people in costume to CGI is seamless, and the lighting shifts in the transformation scene is a straight flex I can go on. I would love to see you guys react to that. Does anyone agree or am I biased on nostalgia?

bond james, bonds the james, bames jond's having a stronk, call a bondulance

[@DiLeggeBrothers]

You’re next themed video should breakdown VFX in Liam Nesson movies, everything from Taken, The Commuter, and The Grey, to more unique works like The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Schindler’s List.

[@chineserockethands4578]

I wonder if the invisible car leg thing was an inside joke referencing John Cleese’s walk in the Ministry of Silly Walks skit from Python.

[@Isnogood12]

It wasn't an inside joke as much as it was hiring Cleese to milk his Python fame.

[@lollyluvsall]

I’m so glad you guys were making fun of the quantum of solace car chase. It drove me crazy as a 15 year old watching this. I immediately noticed every cut lasted 1 second and I couldn’t handle it.

[@BricklyDragon]

Hey corridor crew, I just wanted to say that Daniel Craig's glove hands was a thing but not in the sequence that yall reviewed l. If you look at the scene in Skyfall, where bond sneaks up on the sniper, his hands were cgi. The proof is that at the beginning of the sequence, he takes off his gloves but the scene was shot with his gloves on so they use cgi to replaced his hands. You can see this when he's sneaking up on the sniper in the shadows. Then at the end of the sequence the gloves are magically back on as he drops the guy. The story is real just not in the scene you guys debunked.

[@ChaosPootato]

21:34 In the komodo dragon scene, when the camera is low to the ground and filming Bond from behind when he's getting ready to fight the big guy, his hands are weirdly shiny. They look very matte in the other scenes

[@Isnogood12]

Already been said in other comments, but the gloves thing was another scene.

[@AWSVids]

@@Isnogood12 It's both. The skyscraper scene is why the gloves were in play for Bond's wardrobe in the movie, and then they had him wearing them during this scene AS WELL. This is the one that involved more extensive work for the removal of them, though. You can indeed still see them at 21:35

[@Wheels-of-terror]

Can you guys take a look at the 2008 Journey to the Center of the Earth movie and its sequel during the next VFX artists react?

[@Drrobverjones]

I'm with Wren. I like that super fast cutting style. It always made it feel extra intense for me. I also loved the Bourne Ultimatum.

[@Wogle]

Fun thing about the Skyfall gloves: This happens twice. It also happens in the Shanghai sequence, because at the end of the fight sequence Bond is wearing gloves when he wasn't previously, and they disappear again. Originally, it seems he was supposed to because the first promo stills for the film also showed him wearing gloves there.

[@imniallg]

It wasn’t twice. They just got the scene wrong.

[@jedkleebaum7235]

Yesss love a bond flic. Loads of other stuff from bond movies they can react to.
