  • @josephjenkinson7839

    According to John Cleese, Wilson and Broccolli were planning on bringing back Llewelyn for at least four more films and Llewelyn himself stated he would happily continue playing Q "as long as the producers want [him] and the Almighty doesn't." His very sad and unfortunate death in a car accident prevented this.
    But personally, the final scene he has in The World is not Enough is THE perfect, most subtly beautiful send-off for the actor who was in this series for thirty years. It wasn't overplayed, yet every ounce of sentiment was there...
    1) announce of retirement and impending successor
    2) Bond asking him "you're not retiring anytime soon... are you?" - the pause gives an intimate layer to their relationship as if Bond is genuinely taken aback by this Q leaving, especially if Licence to Kill is considered wholly connected to the Brosnan era
    3) the way Llewelyn says the last line is somewhat of a fatherly approach
    4) "always have an escape plan" is a perfect way of making a farewell a classic Q gag as he descends through the lab doors, another brilliant use of mise-en-scene
    It's very bittersweet and beyond fitting for the great man that gave Bond his gadgets as well as being a great rival in the one-liners. RIP Sir Llewelyn, forever the definitive Q

    Fascinating that Desmond originally wanted Q to be a massive fan of Bond, constantly gushing about how cool it was that he got to make all of his gadgets and equipment, before he was told "No, Bond is the guy who breaks or loses your equipment on the regular. You don't worship him, you think he's annoying as hell." and Desmond agreed that made for a far better dichotomy between the two characters.

    Desmond and Pierce were the perfect combination. They kept trying to outdo each other while filming and had the staff in stitches.

    He will be dearly miss 😥😥! Desmond Llewelyn love playing Q in 007 and shows 007 Sean Connery the gadget features in the Astro Martin D5 car in the movie Goldfinger 😍😍👍👍!! The inject seat in the car is the best ! He was great in all the Bond films !! My favorite lines from Q was "I never joke about my work, 007"!

  • @dirdib69

    From his wiki:
    His last appearance as Q prior to his death was in The World Is Not Enough in 1999. During his briefing of 007 in the film, Q introduces John Cleese's character, R, as his heir presumptive, and the film alludes to Q's retirement, to which Bond, after seeing Q, expresses his hope that it will not be any time soon. Q's response is to admonish Bond to "always have an escape plan", after which he lowers himself through the floor of his lab. Llewelyn had stated not long before his death that he had no plans to retire and that he would continue playing Q "as long as the producers want me and the Almighty (God) doesn't."
    I guess God decided that He wanted him.
    I think I've seen Brosnan make some comment about that scene - Llewelyn had died just 3 weeks after the film released.

    Q is so much a part of my child hood. The way most people look at Batman and Alfred, I look at bond and Q. I can’t wait until a VR bond game where you get to play Connery, my life will be complete when I hear Q say, “and try not to break anything 007”.

    no, THANK YOU!!, its not bond without the Gadgets... but there are none without Q! and Llewelyn was the BEST. the only better "gadget discovery" scenes where from Inspector Gadget (the modern one with Matthew Broderick)- that only for comedy value{when he first found himself, trying out his body}, for 'serious' bond was it!!!
