@@SirWilliamDeHooton: That was really funny what you said. Pretty traumatizing for a tike at the time. I didn’t see it first run. Just in re-run on TV. Still chilling though.
This sound track has stuck with me ever since I watched the movie as a kid. What an awesome scene. The sound track (Capsule In Space) just amplifies the movie. This sound track inspired me to pursue science and Physics. I just love it!!
There's a music CD available: Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project On it, he has taken various James Bond title songs and had them re-done with different artists. It includes a couple of instrumental racks, one is called "Space March" and is an extended version of the music used for this scene. A techno-funk version. Here's a link to listen to it. ruclips.net/video/1z_PMAR2apI/видео.html

@@BearofTexas we don't actually know he died. Another comment here suggested he might have fallen back to earth and somehow survived. I know, I know.!
In the entire franchise this is one of the scenes that really haunts me - the music, the creepy models, the fate of that poor astronaut. Just chilling.
Jason Henry I'm watching this and 2019 and this is still actually horrifying if you think about what was going through Astronaut Chris' mind when he realized the Bird 1 capsule was going to cut his EVA tether...
Jason Henry I six at the time and my sister and her friend (who was a James Bond fan) took me to see You Only Live Twice at the Fulton Theatre. The audience freaked out at this scene! I was mesmerized by the music for this scene!
Between this, Diamonds are Forever, Moonraker, and (while not a JB film) The Black Hole, there is John Barry’s consistent vision of space that nobody else has replicated. It’s a beautiful and alluring place that can also eat you alive any time.
Shane Rimmer once said that because he and Ed Bishop appeared in so many movies together playing Americans, they should have advertised themselves as "Rent-a-Yank." Rimmer can convincingly play Americans. But at 2:53, his Canadian accent reveals itself when he mispronounces the name "Houston." Americans say "Hughes-ten" while Canadians pronounce it "Hoos-ton."
@@IHateRUclipsHandles615 Yes. At 2:50, that is Ed Bishop facing the camera. But then it pans over to the right and that's Shane Rimmer in a profile shot.
He also had a bit part in Diamonds Are Forever as a scientist that Willard Whyte chews out when he asks about the satellite “he” told him to take care of.
arh man! pure cold war 1967 Bond Thriller ..This is one of the best bond opening sequnce's ever!! Love those Brits and there Bond!...amazing goosebumps with the sountrack too! ,thanks to John Barry.
Ed Bishop & Shane Rimmer. Aka Captain Blue from Captain Scarlett & Scott Tracey from Thunderbirds. Are in this scene! Love it when my fandom's collide :)
JONNOG88 cool. Met Shane Rimmer at a con 3/4 years when the reboot was just starting filming and they'd only done the pilot. Also "Parker" 😃 who i remember telling me he was voicing more than just the pilot which was a scoop back then and was really exciting. Sadly never got the chance to meet Ed Bishop.
JONNOG88 Fun Fact(s): Scott Tracy's puppet is based off Sean Connery, and Derek Meddings created all the practical effects for all of Gerry Anderson's puppet show and Eon's Bond films right up to "Goldeneye".
.......silence in space apart from Jupiter 16 orbiting Then John Barrys piece of music slowly builds up just before Spectres rocket comes up behind them. Panic and chaos....Silence That's how you direct a scene
If we turn off the sound in this scene, we start to think: "The ship that captures the capsule looks like a cheap toy! The special effects team managed to build the ugliest, most ridiculous and non-plausible model possible!" It's this John Barry's masterpiece that makes this scene awesome!
looking back now and comparing the original films to the daniel craig films....I've gotta say Craig is the best bond out of the lot of em... but this film and on her majesty's secret service are the best films
Does anyone remember when they used to show the James Bond movies on ABC on Sunday nights? They played a version where the sequence of events were cut and spliced out of order? It used to make me furious but it spoiled the whole mood of this great beginning, (I originally saw it as a kid in the theater and it blew me away)! ABC continued to re-show this botched splice version for years!! DUMMIES!! I always went to school tired on Mondays following a James Bond Sunday night!
I would prefer Chris to return in the capsule, not to have the scene where the spaceship takes the capsule into it (the scene where the spaceship hatch opens in 2.07 would be when takes the Sοviet capsule), and when N.A.S.A. loses communication, we wouldn't know how it was done. This happened after ten years in the opening scene of ''The Spy Who Loved Me'' a remake of Y.O.L.T.
SinDawg030 I can't... it would go over your head Space Shuttle style... Let me give you a hint, who is crazy enough to mess with stingrays enough to get hit in the heart by a stinger? Who is crazy enough to jump in the ocean and wrestle a Great White Shark? who's crazy enough to drink Foster's? also, some salve or listening to the Cure will help your hurt feelings
Ed Bishop played the Radiation Safety Officer Klaus Hergerscheimer at the WW Techrtonics facility. Don't recall Rimmer's Character in DOF but he was in it
Ed Bishop and Shane Rimmer are terrific in this sequence, but the two British actors who play the astronauts make some errors in their American accents.
For the US ship to be captured, the US have to essentially be sitting still. If the US ship just moved a bit, they would be way harder to capture. Then it would be like a harder version of skill crane or claw machine to eat the US ship.
Well, first of all, they needed to develop and construct (in secret) a reusable spacecraft, something the USA and USSR wouldn't manage for many years...

As someone who grew up with The Incredibles, I only now realised how much John Barry inspired the soundtrack for that film as I am going back to the classic Bond films
That's something I noticed as well. Especially this movie has some similar scenes with the incredibles
Arguably the best soundtrack for an opening scene in cinema history
John Barry was a genius. The fate of that astronaut haunted me as a kid.
Any composer in the 60s with the name *Barry* are geniuses..
@@SirWilliamDeHooton: That was really funny what you said. Pretty traumatizing for a tike at the time. I didn’t see it first run. Just in re-run on TV. Still chilling though.
@@SirWilliamDeHootonoh I never even thought of that. I always assumed he’d been lost forever in space.
Awful way to die I thought 🥺

Not just you Kandaman - Stephen Hawking also claimed to have been inspired by this movie score.

Wouldn’t it make you want to pursue music? 😂
Fantastic. It's an awesome soundtrack.
@@andrewmurray5542 no it’s not
The music in Bond films from John Barry are usually great, but this has to be one of, if not, *THE* best theme ever in those films. Poor Chris......😔
Chris died a hero. A Patriot who served his country.
... and then there are the songs they recorded but didn't use in the film.
Here's Thunderball as performed by Johnny Cash:

Probably the greatest opening movie sequence in the history of cinema! John Barry and James Bond-a wonderful combination!
This is one of the great thematic music pieces for Bond movies. John Barry is great
Couldn't agree more. This is my favorite score of any Bond movie.
OHMSS is my favorite score.....and then The Propellerheads came along and combined it with this piece, and.....well, oh my god.
For a long time I thought this music was from Stravinsky.
Reminded me of the Firebird suite.
In the entire franchise this is one of the scenes that really haunts me - the music, the creepy models, the fate of that poor astronaut. Just chilling.
I remember the entire theater freaking out at this opening
Jason Henry I'm watching this and 2019 and this is still actually horrifying if you think about what was going through Astronaut Chris' mind when he realized the Bird 1 capsule was going to cut his EVA tether...

You can hear ATC.."Chris, get back in the spacecraft!"
Jason Henry Chris should have listened!!!
JW you act in live and let die
such a fantastic opening to a spy film
Two Gerry Anderson vets in this sequence - Ed Bishop (Captain Scarlet and also UFO) and Scott Tracy himself, Shane Rimmer.
+Michael Daly I was trying to place Ed Bishop's voice ! Thx.
***** Glad to help.
Ed Bishop also appeared in Diamonds Are Forever 2 Bond films later.
@@AndrewChapman So was Shane Rimmer
@@davidfrost2819 Yep, quite a connection between Bond and Gerry Anderson shows here.
One of the better soundtracks in the series

"Mike, it's coming right at us! The craft is opening up! I repeat, the craft is opening up!"
It's almost as if he *WANTS* it to devour them!
Excellent piece of music It brings a shiver to my spine 😊😊😊😍
Nobody does it better than John Barry
A great opening for any suspenseful movie let alone a bond movie
I loved this as a kid. Now I get it’s 50% about the great musical score.
This scene was so cool when I first watched it. And it still is.

Rimmer can convincingly play Americans. But at 2:53, his Canadian accent reveals itself when he mispronounces the name "Houston." Americans say "Hughes-ten" while Canadians pronounce it "Hoos-ton."
33VMUH I didn't realize that was him!! The US Navy sub commander in The Spy Who Loved Me
Wait, I thought that was Ed Bishop?
@@IHateRUclipsHandles615 Yes. At 2:50, that is Ed Bishop facing the camera. But then it pans over to the right and that's Shane Rimmer in a profile shot.
Wasn't Shane Rimmer the inspiration for Scott Tracey in Thunderbirds? And Ed Bishop was Ed Straker in U.F.O..
@@andrewmurray5542Bit more than an inspiration, he played him!
The music for this scene is amazing! ❤
John Barry is most Fantastic theme music.
Love John Barry's Capsule in Space music score!
R.I.P. Chris.
As soon as 0:51 hit you knew something was going to go badly wrong from the music. It really builds that foreboding feeling.
I saw this movie when I was ten years old. 55 five later I feel the suspense and emotion. John Barry made a perfect match for this 007 opening movie.
I was 8 when I saw it and we hadn't landed on the Moon yet . It freaked me out.
I was 3! And I still remember it too!!
fantastic opening, classic and classy. Bond at its best. The hijacker missile was known as a Donald Pleasance Craft.
Absolute classic scene!
Ed Bishop. He was also in 2001: A Space Odyssey as the Aries 1B pilot on the way from Space Station 5 to Clavius Base on the Moon.
Most famous in the UK for the UFO TV series.
"Cape Can to Hawaii, this is flight control. Come in please."
Hawaii. Roger.
a good old portion of Cold War space race with a magnificent Barry score.
Geeky Fact: The astronaut who performs the EVA is played by British actor Norman Jones.
And the guy sat at the next desk is Shane Rimmer, who played the captain of the American submarine in The Spy Who Loved Me.
RIP Shane. He was also in several episodes of The Saint with Roger
He also had a bit part in Diamonds Are Forever as a scientist that Willard Whyte chews out when he asks about the satellite “he” told him to take care of.
John Barry's score made this all the more awesome!
Imagine seeing this scene in your local cinema in 67----must have been mind blowing 🤯
arh man! pure cold war 1967 Bond Thriller ..This is one of the best bond opening sequnce's ever!! Love those Brits and there Bond!...amazing goosebumps with the sountrack too! ,thanks to John Barry.

Well if you look at Elon musks Starship, the design for a reusable spacecraft is remarkably similar
A plastic model astronaut has been orbiting Earth for 46 years now.

Jupiter 16 Roger! Restoring all lose gear ready for the EVA.
the astronaut on EVA doesn't bother to even move an inch to get back into the capsule. Wow.
"Chris, get back in! Get back in!"
Astronaut: "Eh, you know what? I had a good run"
I think he was spellbound by the craft coming towards him and couldn't move.
Cut the space cord of doom he could have moved the ship capsule lol😂😂😂
Bye Chris.
It's Captain Blue and Scott Tracy. :D
He's free!
Can't people be happy for that at least?!?
Classic John Barry
2:42 lol at the sound of the cord being cut. PLOP YOU'RE DEAD.
Wrong.
He's *FREEEEE!!!!* 😆
A masterpiece 💖

Yes they even hacked up OHMSS by inserting a narration that wasn’t in the original
🎶Da Da Da Da Daaa....Da Da Daa..Da Daa🎶
This music cue is slightly longer.
I would prefer Chris to return in the capsule, not to have the scene where the spaceship takes the capsule into it (the scene where the spaceship hatch opens in 2.07 would be when takes the Sοviet capsule), and when N.A.S.A. loses communication, we wouldn't know how it was done.

i should've known their are no palm trees in kazakhstan(where Bakinour is located),alas i was only 10 years old.
So, this is Planet Houston!
poor spaceman loosing his lifeline ouch!
I know! Poor Chris.
I wonder how long he would have lived for floating in space.
NASA had CAPCOMs (capsule communicators), not capecoms. Also, a mission controller pronounces Houston "Hooston."
The big fish is, eating the small fish , but lille one escaped. the mouth great show now let us all eat the big fish in space
'MY LIFELINE!!! IT'S CU......' *floats away in outer space*
He just would not listen. Houston told him, "Chris, get back in! Get back in!"
@@scottmitchell3641 Pretty sure he tried.
@andy Pete
Sure.
"Tried" not to be free 😉
This score is so scary it scared me as a kid
It's a Gemini capsule
I think he used this piece in Diamonds are Forever
It’s similar, but not the same, in DAF soundtrack, it is called “007 and Counting”, (when Blofeld’s satellite is wreaking havoc.
2:53 We need to launch Thunderbird 3!
1:25 I swear that's Ed Bishop, AKA Commander Ed Straker from UFO!
This movie came out the same year as two space disasters--the Apollo 1 fire and the Soyuz 1 crash.
Luckily, we've never had a real life Chris situation.
That guy at the end, was he in Thunderbirds?
Ed Straker !
Yes, lucky Ed Straker! Soon he would be in command of SHADO, and that includes all those hourglass figure SHADO women with the shapely rear ends.
"MY LIFELINE! IT'S Cuh........................"
Funny how so many Bond film actors appeared in The Saint
Hey, isn't that William Daniel's voice as ground control?
I think I'll download this and strip out the dialogue.
Got to wonder why he didn't pull himself back in with the line or why his crewmate didn't yank him back in with it.

1:02 - no I'm still getting static on my TV
Brano semplice ma immortale.
Man, turn the space capsule to the left or right so that it cannot be swallowed.
Is Jeremy Wilkin in this?
yeah you're right too. didn't rimmer also play some scientist in diamonds are forever too?? as well as the sub captain in spy
Ed Bishop played the Radiation Safety Officer Klaus Hergerscheimer at the WW Techrtonics facility. Don't recall Rimmer's Character in DOF but he was in it
JK Wiseman shane rimmer was in the spy who loved me.
They should have stuck with the Jupiter 2. Blofeld would not have wanted to capture Dr Smith.
I felt bad for that astronaut.
You mean the one that's now free to go wherever he pleases?
When his air tube got cut off by an enemy spaceship.
@@kunlesanders well, at least he gave the camera a wave before we said goodbye to him for the last time.
