Agreed... with the exception of the _"Die Another Day"_ (2002) movie intro @ 8:34 .. For starters, it literally sounds like someone laid one of those stereotypical, generic preset drum tracks that come built into those cheap Walmart keyboards over the original James Bond theme music, meant to delete it, but accidentally forgot to remove it from the final recording and was just like _"Oops 🤷♂️ oh well. F it, too late now."_ .... I mean it's not even set at the same damn tempo or close to being in sync! C'mon man! 🤦♂️ Secondly, wtf was he shooting at us with? A freakin futuristic, alien laser blaster 🤨??? Cause that's exactly what it sounded like. And lastly... no, you know what? I'm gonna let the egregiously awful looking CGI "bullet" speak for itself..
@@GeoffGorman08 you pretty much summed up the whole movie, someone forgot to press delete. I’m a bond fan so I like it regardless but die another day isn’t exactly the greatest bond movie ever.
Just something about the way Pierce Brosnan’s Bond is a simple turn and shoot. Unlike all the rest who are taking a knee or adding a slight jump, his is exudes pure confidence and professionalism. And finally what sets it off into the stratosphere for me it’s his iconic dead pan serious stare that so few can pull off.
The first time I saw it in GoldenEye, I thought it was really stiff looking but I’ve come to love it. I also love the CGI shadowing for the gun barrel itself. They should’ve never gone away from that imo.
Hits the mark for me because he's one of the few looking down his sights- The other Bonds' walked and did a Swish and flick like they got lucky, but Pierce walked into that line of sight like he already knew where the target was.
My favorite gun barrel is still Timothy Dalton's for "License to Kill." Such a dark and dramatic musical choice for it and set the tone for the movie right at the start.
When I was watching all the Bond films, in 2020, hearing that score for the first time, made me realise I was in for something much darker and more serious than anything up to that point. God, it's just perfect.
The first time I saw Casino Royale, when the mook went for his gun, I knew Bond was going to blow him away, but I was NOT expecting the gun barrel POV - when the music came roaring in, I was like, "Oh, HELL yeah!"
I think the way they handled it in that film was spectacular, and I was perfectly fine with them breaking tradition because it was so well executed. Can’t say the same for the other Craig gun-barrels unfortunately. Pretty poor.
Wish all Bond movies remastered and released in Dolby Atmos Sound system. The neat,clean,stylish ,manly,hand some James Bond characters - a big WOW ! Understand ,The creator of Bond character ,Ian Fleming lead the ditto bond character life himself.
I love that how each Bond's film's gun barrel scene is unique, different from each other. The gun sound, the music's theme pitch, how the circle moves, Bond's shooting pose,... are all different.
Daniel Craig has the most interesting gun barrel sequences. Casino Royale is the most creative. Spectre has the best depiction of a classic Bond gun barrel. No Time to Die has the best transition to the start of the movie.
No Time To Die is actually the most special one, as you can see the zoom-in transition means the barrel fired before 007 fires and no blood dripping effect, meaning the end of 007
Pierce Brosnan’s (minus Die Another Day’s gun barrel sequence) were the best ones by a long shot. His walk is just perfect and the way he stops and shoots too. He is so suave, purely confident, and does it without hesitation.
@@chrisredfield2301 Don’t pretend you don’t know! It’s obviously because the CG bullet and its sound effect ruins it, dumb ass! The fact that I needed to explain to you just shows how stupid you are.
such an iconic shot. i hate to admit ive never seen a single james bond movie but even i knew of this iconic shot going back decades. its like a trademark by now
Especially with the 3D glasses... LOL !!! Way to go DAD ! I laughed though at SPECTRE (2015) gun-barrel sequence. Watching Craig, yet again, re-shoot another gun-barrel sequence... but this one is just plain ridiculous. Craig walks around waving his gun back & forth VERY VISIBLY and then turns & shoots. Is he expecting to surprise anyone ?!? Is that professional assassin or a crackhead with a gun ?!?
Love how different the soundtrack sound each movie. It's the same theme, but performed, recorded and mixed different giving each one a different character while still having the same feel. They just change enough each time. Truly one of the best soundtracks of all time
I think Bond must have one of the most brilliant music themes in film history. It's amazing how they have managed to change for every movie and follow the time but still it's that very recongniseable Bond theme, sure in some movies they have done it better than the others.
@@teijaflink2226 Yes. You could also maybe say that, at least to a degree, to the films as well. They just change enough for them to feel fresh. It's like they found a way to be in an optimal zone between old and new.
I think No Time To Die has the best version of Bond’s theme, while Casino Royale has the most creative gunbarrel scene, while Tomorrow Never Dies is the most precise
Bob Simmons was one of the best stuntmen of his time. He used to work for Ranks as a tool maker, my father knew him well, met him myself a very nice man.
Those who are curious about Bob Simmons being mentioned as 007 in the gunbarrel sequence from 1962 - 1964, rather than Sean Connery, are the former (on some occasions) referred to as another 007. Simmons served in the military as a Physical Training Instructor at Sandhurst and was interested in being an actor at first, however, the idea of stunt performer/coordinator was far more attractive to him, he appeared in other features besides the 007 series (1978's The Wild Geese being one of them) before passing away in 1987.
As someone who otherwise never was into James Bond, I think Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are my favorites. The sleek and shiny gun barrel leading into Brosnan's perfect turn and shoot, and Goldeneye's iris opening into a dramatic shot over a dam was really good, while I really like the sly music of Tomorrow Never Dies's. Also, Casino Royale's unique twist on the gun barrel sequence works really well. The cold open ending with the unexpected gun barrel shot, Craig's turn and shoot looked really good, and the music starting up after the shot all worked really well.
Dr. No gun barrel is my favorite. It looks very cinematic, very spy-like, and I love how it has that ambient beeping noise and then breaks into the theme song. So cool!
George Lazenby's walk and pose for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" gun barrel sequence is the best but I think the best variation of the 007 theme itself belongs to "For Your Eyes Only", "Goldeneye", "Quantum of Solace", and "Spectre".
Lazenby overdid it in my opinion. He walks on to the screen without much commitment, drops on one knee, and flops his arm a bit. It doesn’t help that the music’s a bit off and that you can barely hear the gun firing.
Same, except for the movie. I prefer the music in License To Kill over the Living Daylights. As for the gun-barrel turn-n-shoot sequence, I believe it's the same for both movies. Dalton only needed to do it once and he NAILED IT. Unlike Craig... who needs to re-shoot it for every movie. Oh ! And the SPECTRE (2015) one... Jesus ! The guys walks around swinging his gun back & forth VERY VISIBLY and then turns and shoots ?!? LMAOL !!! Is he expecting to surprise anyone ?!? Is that a professional assassin or a crackhead with a gun ?!?
Ranking: Best Sean Connery - 2:59 George Lazenby - 2:28 Best Roger Moore - 5:18 Best Timothy Dalton - 7:04 Best Pierce Brosnan - 8:38 Best Daniel Craig - 10:27
I should dislike this just for picking Die Another Day as Brosnan's best lol The theme didn't work with the techno stuff and the flying bullet was...ambitious. Tomorrow Never Dies is Brosnan's best imo. I would argue that No Time To Die is Daniel's best, but I personally like how aggressive he is in Quantum Of Solace.
The most unique gun barrel of them ALL is Lazenby's, the way he strolls with so much confidence and then dropping to one knee with jacket tail flapping shoulders back and chest out.... As a 55 year old life long Bond fan, it's definitely the best for me
Oh the first few are so iconic yet so very very goofy. The first man is firing before he stops waving his arm into the position. Pierce is the first to really square himself at the target and fully reach his firing position before pulling the trigger.
The one intro that is completely different than the others are the one for Casino Royale where the classic white circles are not present although the returned in later movies, perhaps by public demand? Anyway, the Casino Royale intro sequence going from the gun barrel clip to the Chris Cornell intro is just magnificent and never fails to give me goosebumps. RIP Chris.
I’m 13 years old and I am glad I saw the last James Bond movie at the cinema it is the only bond movie I saw at the movies and I can remember when the gun barrel came on
In case you haven't watched any other ones-you should totally check them out,a few stinkers in there,but a generally fun and enjoyable series. Pretty sure all of them are on Amazon Prime now
@@victorfadel06 I believe Dalton didn't change his either. It's the same for LD & LTK. And personally, Dalton takes the number #1 spot for me. I put Brosnan in 3rd place. 2nd place goes to Lazenby, the ONLY Bond who kneels, blood drip erases him and a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT over Connery's silly intro.
Honestly, the cold start of Casino Royale is my favorite because it uses the classic shot in a creative way. I want to see more of that: There's a cold start. We don't know what's going on. Somebody's about to shoot 007, we see the gun, then the gun barrel, the iconic shot (heh) and BOOM!! The opening credits...
Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are just perfect. The soundtrack, the quick draw, the stare, the blood effect and gun wobble. *chefs kiss* Edit: After watching them again Die Another Day is also really cool with the bullet coming straight for you lol.
Casino Royale: Bond becomes 007, the camera zooms out into the barrel Quantum of Solace: Bond walks fast because he was chasing his enemy. Skyfall: Bond walks slow because he lost his condition after his train accident Spectre: Bond didn’t hide his gun because he’s expected by his enemy No time to Die: Bond dies, the camera zooms in out of the barrel
It's either a stupid mistake on the production team's part,or a deliberate choice. Bond is so good and feared as an assassin,that hiding the gun at this point wouldn't change anything
And the fact that the blood erases his image foreshadows that the violence that occurs in the film (the bloodshed of his wife) will destroy Bond on the inside.
Quantum of Solace is the only gunbarrel where he shoots and walks away afterwards. Like a badass. I’m quite fond of that movie, though I know many don’t like it in comparison to other Bond films.
Love Simmons' jump, but it looks a little goofy next to future shots. -Poor old Connery always looked like he was about to topple over. -Lazenby drops, draws, and shoots so quickly you'd be dead before you even knew anything was happening. -Moore full on misses in his first attempt, then pulls the gun so slowly in his second try there's no way he'd survive. -Dalton is so smooth, almost cat-like, ready to pounce. -Brosnan is calm, confident, and deadly. -And unfortunately Craig never quite hit his stride, literally. His most natural shot is Casino Royale, which is brilliant, but the walks in all the others show he's not comfortable. So stiff and awkward, going either too fast or too slow, and swinging the gun around in his last two. It's tough, Lazenby's shot is perfect and Dalton's walk is like a prowl, but I'm giving it to Brosnan for balancing both brilliantly well.
That’s a very well reasoned argument. I think Connery’s gun-barrel is iconic and I love it, but you get the sense that he really is using that hand to steady himself 🤣
So, in some things I'm a Johnny Come Lately. I'm 78 and it was just and around two years ago that I realized in the Bond logo that was the rifling of the barrel of a weapon.
Craig paradoxically has the best one (casino royale) and the worst ones (the rest you can clearly see the gun swinging in his hand before he turns to fire) I think just in terms of impact, Brosnan's - although clearly reused for every film - felt the most sudden and visceral
I’m the original 007 this is for the books and for your videos fan! Thanks for the takes on all gun barrels that reminded me who I am today an ex mi6 agent and cia director
1. Casino Royale 2. Brosnan 3. Connery 4. Spectre 5. Dalton 6. Moore 1 7. Moore 2 8. Simmons 9. No Time to Die 10. Lazenby 11. Skyfall 12. Quantum of Solace
my go-too opening for 007 is goldeneye, i love the tempo and drums and the bass kicks nicely ps, would have been better without the pause description. just having the words briefly at the start of each would have kept the pace
Aww man! I wish you'd went with the MGM/Universal version of the _No Time to Die_ gun barrel. That black and white globe blending seamlessly into the black and white gun barrel blew my mind when I first saw it in the cinema!
Aside from Casino Royale (which was very creative btw), everyone in charge of Daniel Craig's gunbarrel sequences should be never allowed to work in cinema again. They are a parody. The best, by far, is Pierce Brosnan's Goldeneye gunbarrel. It's easily the most fluid and my God he looks suave. It's incredible.
It's amazing how they filmed Daniel Craig's one five times, and they never got it right. Okay, Casino Royale can't really be thrown in there, and it was nice and creative (my favourite of his), but the rest are all just wrong for various reasons (QOS: too quick, Skyfall: horrible lighting, but probably the closest, Spectre: you can see the gun hand waving about, NTDD: too quick, again that gun hand).
Agreed. How hard can it be? His pose isn’t too bad, but everything else is just rubbish, except No Time To Die, which I thought was… OK, but it still has all the problems you mentioned. The Casino Royale one is brilliant however!
Golden Eye and Casino Royale were my favorites. It seemed like these two set a standard by changing the gun barrel from a PNG to a 3D model and then started using it as a part of the animation.
I can't believe they ruined Die Another Day's one using a stupid CGI bullet. My favorite would be from Casino Royale: i just love that opening riff in You Know My Name!
I always felt the Goldeneye intro was the best out of all of them. My favorite Bond movie for sure! Freakin awesome in my opinion. That intro always gets me pumped for the movie! Can’t believe how old it is already! Pierce will always be my favorite Bond! Change my mind 😉
I know there were many more technical limitations in the 60s/70s, but how did they mess up Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moores's (first one) with the shot of the actors having a black line between them and the Gunbarrel graphic?
Ranking of the gunbarrell of respective actors/performer Bob simmons(1962-64) 3. From russia with love 2. Goldfinger 1. Dr no Bob simmons made the gunbarrell we know today, well even tho all of his gunbarell arw similar, it's dr no that deserves some credit. Sean connery(1965-71) 3. Thunderball 2. You only live twice 1. Diamonds are forever Well all of it comes down to music, DAF actually had great music behind the gunbarell. Roger moore(1973-85) 7. The spy who loved me 6. View to a kill 5. Octopussy 4. Moonraker 3. The man with a golden gun 2. Live and let die 1. For your eyes only Well only LALD and TMWAGG were good gunbarell because roger moore had correct posture. But FYEO takes the top spot for amazing music Timothy dalton 2. The living daylights 1. Licence to kill Well dalton had excellent gunbarell. But it comes down to music and LTK sets the tonw of the movie with that music Pierce brosnan 4. Die another day 3. Goldeneye 2. The world is not enough 1. Tommorow never dies I hate both DaD and goldeneye's gunbarell, dad for the CGI bullet but loved the music and hated goldeneye for that awful music but loved the overall design of gunbarell. So TND has great music and design Daniel craig 5. Quantum of solance 4. Spectre 3. Skyfall 2. No time to die 1. Casino royale Well QoS has the most rushed aand spectre looked so dull. Skyfall was good but it doesnt deserved to be placed at the end of the movie. NTTD had the best transition and foreshadowing yet CR one is still amazing
We're in an exciting time now. Even though the next version of Bond is probably still years away, we're in that transition period that's always exciting for the series. Getting to find out who the next actor is, getting an idea for the tone, seeing the first Gunbarrel for the new actor. And if you factor in IOI's Project 007, that's two new iterations to look forward to in this regard.
Ranking of gunbarell preformer 7. Roger moore "no roger pls dont hold the gun with two hands" 6. Bob simmons well he made the gunbarell we know today but its plain af 5. Daniel craig Shocking considering he had some of unique gunbarell but it ultimates comes to consistency and he had terrible consistency 4. Sean connery :- he did it with class. 3. George lazenby :- that knee drop followed by the echos of gunshot was amazing 2. Pierce brosnan :- well CGI helps the design of gunbarell with the animation and brosnan brings out his swag. 1. Timothy dalton :- he looked like a professinal killer who could strike out anytime and both of his gunbarell had awesome music.
The blood flow is different with every new actor, and every time they did a new gun-barrel throughout their run. What you probably mean though is that Goldeneye was the first to have CGI blood.
0:00 The start of the legendary series with a simple but iconic Gun Barrel sequence. 1:36 The Gun Barrel sequence of Thunderball with Sean Connery is now the one shoot the barrel, paving the way for future James Bond actors to do the same iconic opening sequence. 2:29 The Gun Barrel sequence of On Her Majesty's Secret Service where Bond shoots while kneeling in one knee was a foreshadow of Bond's marriage with Tracy and you know what happened at the end. 3:27 The start of Roger Moore era as James Bond. 5:44 The Gun Barrel sequence of Octopussy was a personal for Eon Productions because the same year, longtime rival producer Kevin McClory and his own production who still own the rights of Dr. No, Thunderball, Spectre and others, also released Never Say Never Again starring OG Bond actor Sean Connery. It was the Battle of the Bonds which with Eon Productions got last laugh in the end. 6:37 The start of dark, violent incarnation of Timothy Dalton as James Bond. 7:04 The darker, brooding theme plays in the Gun Barrel sequence in Licence To Kill, confirming you are watching the darkest, most violent & revenge story of the series. 7:29 The start of Pierce Brosnan era as James Bond. 8:38 The end of Brosnan era as Bond in the 40th Anniversary of the series. 9:03 The start of Daniel Craig era as James Bond. No Gun Barrel sequence was played at the start of the movie until the end of the Pre-Title Credits, meaning you are watching a fresh reboot and the origins of how James Bond becoming 007. 9:17 The Gun Barrel sequence followed by the opening title card and ends with 007 was quite good than the whole movie. 9:41 The Gun Barrel sequence after the End Credits was rolled, celebrate 50th Anniversary of the series. 9:59 The Gun Barrel sequence with fade gold background in Spectre, confirming the titular character will face his biggest challenge in the form of the aforementioned villainous organization led by the villain with a mysterious connection with him. 10:26 The end of Daniel Craig era as Bond with the Gun Barrel sequence in No Time to Die with Bond shoots but faded away, foreshadow his fateful end.
My favorite gunbarrels: Dr. No, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall, Spectre, No Time To Die
I prefer the music in License To Kill. As for the pose, I believe it's the same for LD & LTK. I believe Dalton only shot this once and he did it perfectly. To date (2024/01/04), Dalton has THE BEST turn-n-shoot gun-barrel sequence. 2nd, for me personally, is Lazenby. The only Bond who kneels. And the blood drip erases him. Creative thinking for 1969 and a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT over Connery's turn-n-shoot. 3rd goes to Brosnan. His turn-n-shoot is both efficient & cool looking.
Good lord all these comments about people not knowing who Bob Simmons was....it's not even that hard to do a basic Google search rather than comment and insist the uploader doesn't know what he's talking about and making yourselves look like fools in the process.
I’m gonna be biased here as Roger Moore as my favourite James Bond actor (although Pierce Bronson is a close second) but I honestly think that For Your Eyes Only has the best gun barrel sequence. For the most part, every other movie has a very simple instrumental that roughly follows the James Bond theme. However, in FYEO, the score is so intense and charismatic and energetic and I’m instantly invested in the movie. Not to mention it’s one of the more grounded and realistic James Bond films with a focus on technology falling in the wrong hands instead of the more fun (but silly) villains with supernatural or mysterious personas.

Just something about Craig that doesnt fit as Bond. He's short and looks like a hooligan compared to the rest and walks like he needs to take a dump.
That percussion reverb in the Goldeneye barrel is hard to beat. So smooth and Pierce is stunning
Amen! It’s so different from the rest! That intro always pumps me up!
Love it
Goldeneye is definitely my favorite.
Actually, the lands and groves in the earlier barrels are far more realistic. The later barrels look like the inside of an air conditioner ductwork.
@@shenmisheshou7002 we love that for you I guess?

The "The name is Bond...James Bond".
Perfect start and perfect ending if you ask me.
I think the way they handled it in that film was spectacular, and I was perfectly fine with them breaking tradition because it was so well executed.
Can’t say the same for the other Craig gun-barrels unfortunately. Pretty poor.

I absolutely love Casino Royale's intro

Shout out on the camera man who took all of the gun shots like a champ

Brosnan looks best when shooting is concerned. Least actory show.
Bob Simmons was one of the best stuntmen of his time. He used to work for Ranks as a tool maker, my father knew him well, met him myself a very nice man.

The Lazenby “floppy arm”. Bit dramatic for my taste lol.
I love OHMSS so much it's the only Gunbarrel scene I ever practiced until it becomes my muscle memory
¡¡¡ Impecable presentación de George Lazenby !!!
Lazenby overdid it in my opinion. He walks on to the screen without much commitment, drops on one knee, and flops his arm a bit. It doesn’t help that the music’s a bit off and that you can barely hear the gun firing.
Best one for me is Dalton’s first ever gun barrel for The Living Daylights because he walks in a very dark manner.
Same, except for the movie. I prefer the music in License To Kill over the Living Daylights. As for the gun-barrel turn-n-shoot sequence, I believe it's the same for both movies. Dalton only needed to do it once and he NAILED IT.
Unlike Craig... who needs to re-shoot it for every movie. Oh ! And the SPECTRE (2015) one... Jesus ! The guys walks around swinging his gun back & forth VERY VISIBLY and then turns and shoots ?!? LMAOL !!! Is he expecting to surprise anyone ?!?
Is that a professional assassin or a crackhead with a gun ?!?
@@Factboy12
In fact, Craig usually played drugheads or drugdealers. Hence the walk.
Muy favorite gunbarrel is Goldeneye. The music is so good.
Amen! The intro is so amazing! Gets me pumped for the movie every time!
Ranking:
Best Sean Connery - 2:59
George Lazenby - 2:28
Best Roger Moore - 5:18
Best Timothy Dalton - 7:04
Best Pierce Brosnan - 8:38
Best Daniel Craig - 10:27
I think Casino Royale’s would be the best for Daniel Craig, but the rest are accurate 👌🏻
Nah, best Roger Moore was Live and Let Die or The Man with the Golden Gun simply because it was a better pose.
But...and Bob Simmons?
I should dislike this just for picking Die Another Day as Brosnan's best lol The theme didn't work with the techno stuff and the flying bullet was...ambitious. Tomorrow Never Dies is Brosnan's best imo. I would argue that No Time To Die is Daniel's best, but I personally like how aggressive he is in Quantum Of Solace.
@@ZalesakVID Personally, GoldenEye was my favorite of his, but you're right Tomorrow Never Dies was also an excellent gun barrel.
Brosnan really had the best gun barrels. 7:30 is probably the best one ever done in my opinion. Just gets you so excited for the movie
The most unique gun barrel of them ALL is Lazenby's, the way he strolls with so much confidence and then dropping to one knee with jacket tail flapping shoulders back and chest out.... As a 55 year old life long Bond fan, it's definitely the best for me
I agree. His swaggering cool walk is amazing
2:25
Agreed.
Totalmente de acuerdo...Excelente Lazenby....Majestuosa presentación.
Confidence was the one thing Lazenby really lacked when playing Bond.
Oh the first few are so iconic yet so very very goofy. The first man is firing before he stops waving his arm into the position. Pierce is the first to really square himself at the target and fully reach his firing position before pulling the trigger.
I love the Live and Let Die music, so funky!
Most iconic intro sequence of cinema history. James Bond was a legend, is a legend and will remain a legend forever.
Not my favourite bond but Brosnan has the best gun-barrel of them all, his posture, confidence etc it’s all perfect.
Agreed
This is iconic. There is no franchise that gets better. 007 is the best intro of all time.
Live and Let Die and Casino Royale, the best walkthrough hands down.
I like how the final movie doesn’t have James Bond shoot the screen, instead moving the camera forward, foreshadowing the ending.
The one intro that is completely different than the others are the one for Casino Royale where the classic white circles are not present although the returned in later movies, perhaps by public demand? Anyway, the Casino Royale intro sequence going from the gun barrel clip to the Chris Cornell intro is just magnificent and never fails to give me goosebumps. RIP Chris.
I’m 13 years old and I am glad I saw the last James Bond movie at the cinema it is the only bond movie I saw at the movies and I can remember when the gun barrel came on
In case you haven't watched any other ones-you should totally check them out,a few stinkers in there,but a generally fun and enjoyable series. Pretty sure all of them are on Amazon Prime now
Peirce Brosnan has the only gunbarrel that wasn't changed. Other that CGI bullet in Die Another Day. He really does have that swagger.
You can't change perfection.
@@victorfadel06 I believe Dalton didn't change his either. It's the same for LD & LTK. And personally, Dalton takes the number #1 spot for me. I put Brosnan in 3rd place. 2nd place goes to Lazenby, the ONLY Bond who kneels, blood drip erases him and a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT over Connery's silly intro.
Honestly, the cold start of Casino Royale is my favorite because it uses the classic shot in a creative way. I want to see more of that: There's a cold start. We don't know what's going on. Somebody's about to shoot 007, we see the gun, then the gun barrel, the iconic shot (heh) and BOOM!! The opening credits...
Man, the earliest gun barrels were trippy
I actually love how the _No Time To Die_ one forshadows his death
Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are just perfect. The soundtrack, the quick draw, the stare, the blood effect and gun wobble. *chefs kiss*
Edit: After watching them again Die Another Day is also really cool with the bullet coming straight for you lol.
The gunbarrel of A view to a kill is so underrated
A view to a kill è fantastico
I love how for Spectre, Craig is clearly not trying at all to hide the gun 😂
Casino Royale: Bond becomes 007, the camera zooms out into the barrel
Quantum of Solace: Bond walks fast because he was chasing his enemy.
Skyfall: Bond walks slow because he lost his condition after his train accident
Spectre: Bond didn’t hide his gun because he’s expected by his enemy
No time to Die: Bond dies, the camera zooms in out of the barrel
He's like: "Come at me, Spectre"
It's either a stupid mistake on the production team's part,or a deliberate choice. Bond is so good and feared as an assassin,that hiding the gun at this point wouldn't change anything
I’ve watched this move tons of times loved the whole vibe of old school bond but now it’s ruined with the gun waving 😂😂😂
@Natanaelluna007 Idk,IMO Spectre is not that good. To each their own
2:43 I didn’t realize this till recently that Lazenby’s pose foreshadowed Bond’s marriage.
And the fact that the blood erases his image foreshadows that the violence that occurs in the film (the bloodshed of his wife) will destroy Bond on the inside.
God, how did George do that. He literally gets down on… one… knee…
.
Those sneaky bastards
Yeah his is the best because that's not as easy as all the others ;Infact, it's the hardest one & most physically out of all of them.
@@Elknkam It's also the only movie where Bond gets married, so him getting down on one knee is foreshadowing
¡¡¡ Excelente presentación de George Lazenby !!!
Quantum of Solace is the only gunbarrel where he shoots and walks away afterwards. Like a badass.
I’m quite fond of that movie, though I know many don’t like it in comparison to other Bond films.
Love Simmons' jump, but it looks a little goofy next to future shots.
-Poor old Connery always looked like he was about to topple over.
-Lazenby drops, draws, and shoots so quickly you'd be dead before you even knew anything was happening.
-Moore full on misses in his first attempt, then pulls the gun so slowly in his second try there's no way he'd survive.
-Dalton is so smooth, almost cat-like, ready to pounce.
-Brosnan is calm, confident, and deadly.
-And unfortunately Craig never quite hit his stride, literally. His most natural shot is Casino Royale, which is brilliant, but the walks in all the others show he's not comfortable. So stiff and awkward, going either too fast or too slow, and swinging the gun around in his last two.
It's tough, Lazenby's shot is perfect and Dalton's walk is like a prowl, but I'm giving it to Brosnan for balancing both brilliantly well.
That’s a very well reasoned argument.
I think Connery’s gun-barrel is iconic and I love it, but you get the sense that he really is using that hand to steady himself 🤣
Goldfinger and Thunderball are my favourites of the older Bond movies and both have a great score!!
I like how the first James Bond movie open are just a calm music before the real thing kicks in
So, in some things I'm a Johnny Come Lately. I'm 78 and it was just and around two years ago that I realized in the Bond logo that was the rifling of the barrel of a weapon.
Craig paradoxically has the best one (casino royale) and the worst ones (the rest you can clearly see the gun swinging in his hand before he turns to fire) I think just in terms of impact, Brosnan's - although clearly reused for every film - felt the most sudden and visceral
I’m the original 007 this is for the books and for your videos fan! Thanks for the takes on all gun barrels that reminded me who I am today an ex mi6 agent and cia director

Can I just say that reverb in the percussion in Goldeneye sounds absolutely ethereal!
I pretty sure that’s what all the small enemies and main villains see when they die
my go-too opening for 007 is goldeneye, i love the tempo and drums and the bass kicks nicely
ps, would have been better without the pause description. just having the words briefly at the start of each would have kept the pace
Brosnan has always been my favorite.
Aww man! I wish you'd went with the MGM/Universal version of the _No Time to Die_ gun barrel. That black and white globe blending seamlessly into the black and white gun barrel blew my mind when I first saw it in the cinema!
Aside from Casino Royale (which was very creative btw), everyone in charge of Daniel Craig's gunbarrel sequences should be never allowed to work in cinema again. They are a parody. The best, by far, is Pierce Brosnan's Goldeneye gunbarrel. It's easily the most fluid and my God he looks suave. It's incredible.
Maybe they should have stick to the realistic gunbarrel like they did on casino royale
My fav 6 would have to be:
1: Goldeneye
2. Casino Royale
3. For Your Eyes Only
4. Licence to Kill
5. Thunderball
6. Live and Let Die
I LOVE how Daniel is the one how dies from the gun barrel scene in No Time To Die, implying he dies in that episode.
It's amazing how they filmed Daniel Craig's one five times, and they never got it right. Okay, Casino Royale can't really be thrown in there, and it was nice and creative (my favourite of his), but the rest are all just wrong for various reasons (QOS: too quick, Skyfall: horrible lighting, but probably the closest, Spectre: you can see the gun hand waving about, NTDD: too quick, again that gun hand).
Agreed. How hard can it be? His pose isn’t too bad, but everything else is just rubbish, except No Time To Die, which I thought was… OK, but it still has all the problems you mentioned.
The Casino Royale one is brilliant however!
I never thought Skyfall looked great in general. I thought the digital cinematography stuck out like a sore thumb. 🤐
A moment of silence to all the brave camera who gave their lives to make these intros.
I only just realised how terrible the lightning is on the Skyfall one. Very harsh lighting with half of Craig's head obscured as he walks in.
Not to mention the gunbarrel itself looks awful
@RandomRUclipsChannel, except they weren’t talking about GoldenEye.
That was intended one,
Skyfall showed James Bond's dark past
It was showcased in the gunbarrel as Bond emerging from dark
It looks horrendous. His walk is awful as well. He was too fast in Quantum, and like a pensioner in Skyfall 🤣
It's intentional. Whether or not it was a good idea is up to you, but it was definitely on purpose. I liked it.
Goldeneye's music was... interesting. Certainly more jazzy than the usual.
90s af and I love every second.
Golden Eye and Casino Royale were my favorites. It seemed like these two set a standard by changing the gun barrel from a PNG to a 3D model and then started using it as a part of the animation.
No time to die's Gunbarrel fadding to light is foreshadowing for James going to the light meaning he's going to die
That Goldeneye music, just night and day different from either of the films around it. Definitely makes a statement.
I can't believe they ruined Die Another Day's one using a stupid CGI bullet.
My favorite would be from Casino Royale: i just love that opening riff in You Know My Name!
We have different definitions for "ruined"
Tomorrow never dies is the best IMO, the perfect blend of the classic theme, modern graphics, and syncing the shot with the music.
Ё... КЛМН ! Так много частей! Даже подумать не мог что в Бондиане столько фильмов😮
Something about Dalton in License to Kill is all around perfect for me. It’s dark and gritty yet familiar and comfortable at the same time
Did you know . The first couple of gun barrel sequences were not performed by sean connery, it was performed by stunt arranger/performer bob simmons
It does actually say that in the intros to be fair
I always felt the Goldeneye intro was the best out of all of them. My favorite Bond movie for sure! Freakin awesome in my opinion. That intro always gets me pumped for the movie! Can’t believe how old it is already! Pierce will always be my favorite Bond! Change my mind 😉
I know there were many more technical limitations in the 60s/70s, but how did they mess up Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moores's (first one) with the shot of the actors having a black line between them and the Gunbarrel graphic?
My favorite is Moonraker's I think the trumpets make it sound epic... the following (For Your Eyes Only) needs more cowbell XD
My favourite ones are For your eyes only, Licence to Kill, Goldeneye, Spectre and Diamonds are forever...
Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond. Best gadgets, coolest intros, and he just fits Bond more than any other actor imo.
Ranking of the gunbarrell of respective actors/performer
Bob simmons(1962-64)
3. From russia with love
2. Goldfinger
1. Dr no
Bob simmons made the gunbarrell we know today, well even tho all of his gunbarell arw similar, it's dr no that deserves some credit.
Sean connery(1965-71)
3. Thunderball
2. You only live twice
1. Diamonds are forever
Well all of it comes down to music, DAF actually had great music behind the gunbarell.

7. The spy who loved me
6. View to a kill
5. Octopussy
4. Moonraker
3. The man with a golden gun
2. Live and let die
1. For your eyes only
Well only LALD and TMWAGG were good gunbarell because roger moore had correct posture. But FYEO takes the top spot for amazing music
Timothy dalton
2. The living daylights
1. Licence to kill
Well dalton had excellent gunbarell. But it comes down to music and LTK sets the tonw of the movie with that music
Pierce brosnan
4. Die another day
3. Goldeneye
2. The world is not enough
1. Tommorow never dies
I hate both DaD and goldeneye's gunbarell, dad for the CGI bullet but loved the music and hated goldeneye for that awful music but loved the overall design of gunbarell. So TND has great music and design
Daniel craig
5. Quantum of solance
4. Spectre
3. Skyfall
2. No time to die
1. Casino royale
Well QoS has the most rushed aand spectre looked so dull. Skyfall was good but it doesnt deserved to be placed at the end of the movie. NTTD had the best transition and foreshadowing yet CR one is still amazing
We're in an exciting time now. Even though the next version of Bond is probably still years away, we're in that transition period that's always exciting for the series. Getting to find out who the next actor is, getting an idea for the tone, seeing the first Gunbarrel for the new actor. And if you factor in IOI's Project 007, that's two new iterations to look forward to in this regard.
Rip cameramans 😭
GoldenEye and the few that follow were very nice. Walk and turn, a quick draw with very few movements, straight to the trigger.
I love the first couple of ones, I find the little hop he does so amusing
Dalton, Brosnan and Craig's gunbarrel scenes are superb.
Wow Is A Stunning Gunbarrel In The Philippines🇵🇭
Ranking of gunbarell preformer
7. Roger moore "no roger pls dont hold the gun with two hands"
6. Bob simmons well he made the gunbarell we know today but its plain af
5. Daniel craig Shocking considering he had some of unique gunbarell but it ultimates comes to consistency and he had terrible consistency
4. Sean connery :- he did it with class.
3. George lazenby :- that knee drop followed by the echos of gunshot was amazing
2. Pierce brosnan :- well CGI helps the design of gunbarell with the animation and brosnan brings out his swag.
1. Timothy dalton :- he looked like a professinal killer who could strike out anytime and both of his gunbarell had awesome music.
Goldeneye The Movie is the first one they start changing the blood animation
The blood flow is different with every new actor, and every time they did a new gun-barrel throughout their run. What you probably mean though is that Goldeneye was the first to have CGI blood.
I love how smooth Lazenby is, looking like he’s dodging a bullet while aiming to shoot back.
0:00 The start of the legendary series with a simple but iconic Gun Barrel sequence.
1:36 The Gun Barrel sequence of Thunderball with Sean Connery is now the one shoot the barrel, paving the way for future James Bond actors to do the same iconic opening sequence.
2:29 The Gun Barrel sequence of On Her Majesty's Secret Service where Bond shoots while kneeling in one knee was a foreshadow of Bond's marriage with Tracy and you know what happened at the end.
3:27 The start of Roger Moore era as James Bond.
5:44 The Gun Barrel sequence of Octopussy was a personal for Eon Productions because the same year, longtime rival producer Kevin McClory and his own production who still own the rights of Dr. No, Thunderball, Spectre and others, also released Never Say Never Again starring OG Bond actor Sean Connery. It was the Battle of the Bonds which with Eon Productions got last laugh in the end.
6:37 The start of dark, violent incarnation of Timothy Dalton as James Bond.
7:04 The darker, brooding theme plays in the Gun Barrel sequence in Licence To Kill, confirming you are watching the darkest, most violent & revenge story of the series.
7:29 The start of Pierce Brosnan era as James Bond.
8:38 The end of Brosnan era as Bond in the 40th Anniversary of the series.
9:03 The start of Daniel Craig era as James Bond. No Gun Barrel sequence was played at the start of the movie until the end of the Pre-Title Credits, meaning you are watching a fresh reboot and the origins of how James Bond becoming 007.
9:17 The Gun Barrel sequence followed by the opening title card and ends with 007 was quite good than the whole movie.
9:41 The Gun Barrel sequence after the End Credits was rolled, celebrate 50th Anniversary of the series.
9:59 The Gun Barrel sequence with fade gold background in Spectre, confirming the titular character will face his biggest challenge in the form of the aforementioned villainous organization led by the villain with a mysterious connection with him.
10:26 The end of Daniel Craig era as Bond with the Gun Barrel sequence in No Time to Die with Bond shoots but faded away, foreshadow his fateful end.
Brosnan is so elegant
My favorite gunbarrels: Dr. No, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall, Spectre, No Time To Die
Where are you finding the ones for Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre?
I think the best is the living daylights from Dalton. Good music and good pose.
I prefer the music in License To Kill.
As for the pose, I believe it's the same for LD & LTK. I believe Dalton only shot this once and he did it perfectly. To date (2024/01/04), Dalton has THE BEST turn-n-shoot gun-barrel sequence.
2nd, for me personally, is Lazenby. The only Bond who kneels. And the blood drip erases him. Creative thinking for 1969 and a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT over Connery's turn-n-shoot.
3rd goes to Brosnan. His turn-n-shoot is both efficient & cool looking.
Yes. Licence to kill has a splendid music. Very agressive.
but i prefer Barry. The music is better i think.
Gracias por esa excelente introducción,de uno de mis agentes favoritos.
Casino Royale is definitely the best, the screensaver is cool and the movie itself is amazing 10/10
whaat noo dont agree but the movie is good yeah
@@ps123fan “Casino Royale” is the best James Bond film, even all Bond fans will confirm this
Agreed. My favorites are casino royale followed by Golden eye and then Skyfall.
@@dachosen7368 "Goldfinger" with Sean Connery is also a very cool film, I recommend it
Licence to Kill was very foreboding. Suited Dalton's darker Bond perfectly.
Good lord all these comments about people not knowing who Bob Simmons was....it's not even that hard to do a basic Google search rather than comment and insist the uploader doesn't know what he's talking about and making yourselves look like fools in the process.
that goldeneye one is so god damn good man
So funky at 5:17 Love the cowbell
Bond meets Rocky (both movies had Bill Conti as the composer)
I’m gonna be biased here as Roger Moore as my favourite James Bond actor (although Pierce Bronson is a close second) but I honestly think that For Your Eyes Only has the best gun barrel sequence. For the most part, every other movie has a very simple instrumental that roughly follows the James Bond theme. However, in FYEO, the score is so intense and charismatic and energetic and I’m instantly invested in the movie. Not to mention it’s one of the more grounded and realistic James Bond films with a focus on technology falling in the wrong hands instead of the more fun (but silly) villains with supernatural or mysterious personas.
The power of Bill Conti's cowbells
