Diana Rigg was one of the few actresses at the time who could do action scenes and hold her own (thanks in large part to her three years as Emma Peel on "The Avengers"). Most leading ladies of this era would seem out of place battling bad guys on screen but Rigg makes it work.....
Culture shock. He wasn't bad as Bond, his way of playing the character was just rather different to Connery's, which was all the audience knew at that point. The same thing happened when Dalton took over from Roger Moore, but to an even greater extent.
probably cause he only made this one and it seemed more like a parody since it wasn't Connery and since he was the 1st person to play Bond other than him
I like the style of this movie and the really different story approach- the music is my favorite. The acid-bottle-throwing scientist was a good inspiration for a specific enemy in the game "XIII".
One of the best Bond movies, and Lazenby was a great Bond also, underrated, maybe because the popularity of the great Sean Connery, back on those days, the people didn't accept other Bond but Connery.
Don't get me wrong he was a bit wooden but I expect that cause it's his first major acting role and he's taking over some big boots hell Roger Moore was wooden as hell in Live and Let Die I think given more films George would have fit the role quite well.
That first scene with the helicopter flying over the alps with the perfect sunset poking through the holes in the barrel of the gun... Lazenby looks SO cool in this film
Most realistic of the action endings. You can really get into the logistical efforts to fly those choppers at altitude drop the team and succeed. Has a bit of cinema verité falir to it too. Machine guns have a different, lower pitched sound. Even as a kid I thought this was the baddest ass assault in the Bond Universe. The jumper from the chopper goes headfirst on purpose!
SPECTRE vs the Corsican Mafia... Blofeld and co. come off pretty "Dr. Evil" here vs the pros! 🤣 Also, Tracy definitely channels her inner Emma Peel in that fight!
It's not "just" Lazenby. The plot of this one has been constructed around Bond falling in love, for which he had to appear more fragile and weak than ever before, especially during his escape from Piz Gloria and the subsequent chase through the nearby villages. This feels a bit alienating and drags on for a good bit, which for me I find it kills the mood midway through the movie. On top the conclusion of the movie isn't really satisfying. Bond loses for the first time, I could be okay with that but not in this one as it was totally avoidable. Had Bond taken the time to make sure Blofeld was dead after the bobsled chase, and he should know to do that as the veteran secret agent he is, the movie could have ended differently. Even had Blofeld not been found Bond would have known to stay careful and maybe not have a public wedding sometime soon. Instead he gives his arch nemesis a chance to get away and a chance to exact revenge - two mistakes in a row. Duh. This would indeed never have happened to the other fella. This all feels a bit too much constructed just to get to a bad ending and not enough like a logical flow of events.
They still do tours at the summit of Schilthorn, Switzerland where this was filmed.. when we are all able to travel again, you best believe I’m sliding 007 style head first on that helipad walkway.
Dame Diana Rigg, We are all gonna miss you bad. Your fire was hot and beautiful. You were ALIVE. You were your own woman. You were free. Someone may have called you a Bond girl, but they were wrong. You were Diana. I love you. I will never forget you RIP, Great Woman. As Bond would later one day say: "The World Is Not Enough"
I like this attack because along with being an action packed scene followed by a great chase scene, I see the machine gun Bond is using and think "hey, those are the type we used when I was a Reservist!" . Fun to shoot!
Quite simply: the best Bond film, starring the best Bond - George Lazenby. The standout of the series, in every aspect, thanks to the vision and determination of director Peter Hunt.
@@user-mistereye Thanks! I’d be interested in knowing about your favourites. And in a spirit of fun, you may remember this from “Never Say Never Again.” Bond and M are discussing the hijacking of two US nuclear missiles. They can only be accessed by a scan of the President’s right eye. BOND: “If this Petacchi was involved, is it conceivable that he could have used a false eye?” M: “Ohh, do come along, Bond! Let’s think of a more logical explanation, shall we?” Guess who turned out to be right! I liked this film. Tell me what you think.
@@thomaschacko6320 One of my faves in terms of pacing, characters and enjoyment-factor has to be Licence to Kill. But there are elements from practically ever film that I love (apart from Spectre). Never Say Never Again is kinda fun but since it’s an unofficial remake of Thunderball, I don’t count it properly as part of the main Bond series. The fight with Lippe is one of my favourite Bond fights ever though
They say you should marry someone whom you have a lot in common with. lf the abiliity to go toe-to-toe with Blofeld's men isn't a sign, I don't know what is.
For 1969, Blofeld's plan was terrifying. We had something similar happen naturally in the early 2000s. There was an outbreak of FMDV in the UK that spread across continental Europe. The disease didn't kill any livestock directly, but it injured them so badly and spread so quickly that the outbreak ended with the culling of hundreds of millions of cattle, swine, goats, and sheep, and cost the EU in total something around 10 billion dollars of lost revenues simply because of the number of animals infected and then killed.
From what I gather, Dalton was considered for the role but he thought 💭 he was too young( 24 or 25) ? Patrick Mower was also asked but turned it down( he was a year younger than George. Also Oliver Reed was considered, a lot of people think he would have been an excellent Bond, it was his drinking and divorce from his first wife that stop him being chosen 😒.
Dalton turned down the role as felt he was too young at age 22 then to play Bond and inexperienced. He was considered several times in 80s but Moore returned each time to play Bond 3 more times before he retired from playing Bond.
If I was updating this movie for the 21st century, I would have made Tracy's father the head of a Blackwater-esque mercenary organization. He'd have a literal private Army to call upon.
I like this thinking. Bonus points if at least one of the main Super Mooks is a former British SAS/SBS that knows Bond, and was the reason he got Shanghai'ed in the car earlier in the film. Like "Oh, hello, James! Been about ten years! Come here - my boss wants a talk with you and he's not taking 'no' for an answer." Then proceeds to relieve him of his gadgetry because he knows where he wears it at, while keeping it very Britishly polite and gentlemanly.
Most original plot of any 007 franchise. They broke the mold and made a Bond film into a real piece of cinematic art. Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas nailed it, and George Lazenby would’ve only gotten better given the opportunity I think it was too much change (different 007 actor + not the “formula”) for the audience which is why it didn’t do well at the box office.
Why are George Lazenby like Thimothy Dalton not too much appreciated by the public (but loved by the fans) ? Just because "it takes three films for an actor to be accepted as James Bond by the audience *" and the only two who haven't made three films are George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton. * quote from producer Albert R. Broccoli.
If the Bond movies are supposed to form a continuity, then how was it that Blofled did not recognize Bond immediately upon meeting him in his office Piz Gloria after their encounter in Japan in "You Only Live Twice"?
Because the film is a highly faithful adaptation of the Fleming novel which precedes YOLT in book publication order. YOLT should have been produced after OHMSS , which was the original intention.
Connery should have been here, and in ''Diamonds'' as a revenge film. His last Bond film in ''Live and Let Die'' in 1972 for the celebration ten years Bond films. He would end in Jamaica, where he started ten years before.
I do think ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE is an underrated movie and one of the best in the series, but I have never liked how they use the Bond theme in this scene. It seems a bit out of place.
@@marioozzie Look, you have your opinion and I have mine. Neither one is the truth. I think he did just fine in his one movie of a series, NONE of which is exactly Shakespearean material! They are for entertainment, and he entertained me. If you were disappointed, then you either need to lower your standards or move on to material with more teeth in it. But as a self-proclaimed "expert" in acting you don't impress me much, to paraphrase Shania Twain.
This was such a beautifully shot and staged scene. And the cinematography is fantastic.
Also nice to see Tracy got to do something as well.
She'll be missed, amazing actress and constant scene stealer!
For 1969, this had outstanding cinematography
They knew how to shoot films back then. Look at movies like Lawrence of Arabia. No jerky hand-held camerawork and confusing quick editing
@@geoffrogerson9937 I wouldn't say a more modern type of film is worse, I think they're just different, altho it's all down to personal preference.
Peter Hunt was the film editor for the first five Connery films, and only directed this one film. The man knew what he was doing.
@@geoffrogerson9937 you have not seen the fight scenes in the beginning of this movie?

I love how the Bond theme is playing over the scene of Tracy besting a bad guy. Emphasizes how she really is “the female Bond” and thus his soulmate.
One of my favourite bond movies that showed a human side to James and the delightful Diana Rigg
Bond on the ice shooting badass
Firing multiple double-taps too! Very disciplined shooting.
In my opinion one of the best 007 movies - and books!
In terms of movie script... The best by far
@@toivonencresto yes indeed 😍
This movie is generally faithful to the novel, more so than other, later Bond films.
@@markreeter6227 that's why I love it 🥰
I dont know why many people hate George Lazenby, he played well.
Culture shock. He wasn't bad as Bond, his way of playing the character was just rather different to Connery's, which was all the audience knew at that point. The same thing happened when Dalton took over from Roger Moore, but to an even greater extent.
Super video
It's impossible to follow Sean C. No one has done it well.
probably cause he only made this one and it seemed more like a parody since it wasn't Connery and since he was the 1st person to play Bond other than him
I like the style of this movie and the really different story approach- the music is my favorite. The acid-bottle-throwing scientist was a good inspiration for a specific enemy in the game "XIII".
This is my favourite Bond film, and in my eyes the best one, And with it's plot being so close to the book that's what makes it good...
Far from the best one
Its the worst
Agree. The best of the lot - story, locations, cast, script, cinematography...all top drawer. And Lazenby is good. Makes Bond human and vulnerable.
One of the best Bond movies, and Lazenby was a great Bond also, underrated, maybe because the popularity of the great Sean Connery, back on those days, the people didn't accept other Bond but Connery.
Yes I agree
Lazenby continues to be unfavorably compared to Connery to this very day, in a way that the others just aren't.
Definitely not one of the best
Don't get me wrong he was a bit wooden but I expect that cause it's his first major acting role and he's taking over some big boots hell Roger Moore was wooden as hell in Live and Let Die I think given more films George would have fit the role quite well.

People don't hate on this, it's seen as one of the best movies
Well in 1969 this film didn't do as well as Sean Connery's first 5 Bond movies.
I thought it's one of the best, but I'm simply not a fan of Lazenby. He's the weak part of it.
OHMSS is the best Bond film ever
2:30 - 'Whuuueegh!' ...that is the sound one makes when their spine is pincushioned by ski removal spikes!

RIP,
Great Woman.
As Bond would later one day say:
"The World Is Not Enough"
He said it in this movie too. He later said in The World Is Not Enough that it was his family's motto
The first scene is Lazenby's silhouette with machine gun in hand...classic
Flamethrowers + UH-1 Huey. It's like Vietnam in the Alps
I like this attack because along with being an action packed scene followed by a great chase scene, I see the machine gun Bond is using and think "hey, those are the type we used when I was a Reservist!" . Fun to shoot!

IN HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE US THE GREATEST JAMES BOND FILM
Great classic traditional bond film and george was great as bond.
This was a very good Bond movie!
You would upload it with the Original audio "MONO", in the bluray it is included, it listens much better
0:24 i guess they had to use 2 shots, look at the helicopter in the right side. :D
The first use of the 007 answer to the Wilhelm Scream is between 3:11 - 3:14.
Movie hand grenades are interesting. They either explode on impact or delay just enough for dramatic effect or the hero to throw them away.
Definitely in the top five Bond flicks all time
This was the main one Austin Powers drew inspiration from
I so wish this was a Dalton movie.
Or at least had Lazenby do one more film with "Diamonds Are Forever".
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip Mmmm. No. No, that's definitely not what I was driving at.

Chuck Norris
Henry Cavill
Choppers with no guns and rockets.
They didn't want to risk killing Tracy
They were trying to pass off as relief personnel. Guns and rockets would’ve given them away
Now, what would Mrs. Peele do?
wait for Steed.
How does Lazenby kill the acid-throwing scientist at 03:25, when you don't see any bullet holes through the glass door when he walks in?
functional art
My favourite part of the film is when the massive printer gets craned to the window where he is.
Tracy is actually pretty competent in her own right. I can see why she would be plausible as Bond's wife.
Still, there was realism in her fight with the henchman. Not that "strong independent woman" -bullsh*t you see in movies too much these days.
George Lazenby looked somewhat better than Timothy Dalton as Bond.
Aww Timothy Dalton was nice and so is George Lazenby but Sean Connery is the best of all
People overlook this film sometimes though has a few good things going for it, which would put it just behind Goldfinger in my top 2 James Bond films.
