For the last last time he says. He means it. I kinda see this as the equivalent of bringing Robert Downey Junior and The Russos back to Marvel. They were clearly trying to repeat the success of Goldfinger and had the same director, same Bond, same writer and same singer. But did it work? Well throughout this video we’ll be going through the movie and breaking it down scene by scene. Will this be a rough diamond or a diamond in the rough that sends off connery with his pierce de resistance. Pierce de resistance Well that’s what I want to discuss and we’ll also be going through the book as well. 3 Initial Thoughts Now as for where i’m coming into this…this was one of my least favourite films and books in the series. I felt like Fleming was kind of just spinning his wheels and I got the feeling when reading it he’d run out of road. It was fourth in his run and come Russia we end with him seemingly killing off the character. Now as we mentioned on that breakdown…that was the book that gave him a second wind. However coming before this….felt like it killed it for him. Which is something I feel when reading it. I think that feel is also something that was happening when they were making the film as well. The producers…and everyone involved…they were all just kinda dragging their feet. Whereas the team had a blast making thunderball…at this point tensions were frayed. Connery had been replaced and then Lazenby turned down the sequel. The producers couldnt live with their failure and where did it bring them…back to him. And to be fair to connery he was like.
