- On this day in 1974 the scene where Bond navigates the klongs of Bangkok was filmed for THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. The sequence included the return of LIVE AND LET DIE’s Sheriff J.W. Pepper (Clifton James). “I was surprised to be asked to reprise the role,” James remembers. “Cubby called me up and said, ‘Give me some ideas of what you think the character should be doing. He’s going to be on vacation’.”

I love that JW Pepper doesn’t cause an issue or get in Bond’s way. He just gets super excited to see Bond again and, upon realising he’s stumbles into a chase, he goes all in on it without regret. That’s how you write a good side character with actual character 👌🏼
A SECRET AGENT??? ON WHOSE SIDE?
讚啦
YOU'RE THAT ENGLISH SECRET AGENT..FROM ENGLAND!!
Yeah a dumb racist redneck, basically he would be voting Trump.
JW Pepper also play in “Live and Let Die” if am not mistaken
RIP to both Roger and Clifton.

These 2 were great actors
Bond still owes that kid 20,000 baht.
Yeah Daniel Craig wouldnt have pushed a kid into the water- kind of egregious.
just for the opening of the kill switch on the fuel line.
I never noticed that the boy shouts bloody tourist when bond pushes him off the boat 😂
Me too
Roger Moore always regretted doing that scene, this shows how naive & gentle he was in his real life.
The boy would never have said that in real life. He would have said in Thai "Farang kee nok".
Same for when the director made him slap a woman. He didn't want to do it, but they forced his hand. I know it's a fictional character and not Moore himself, but that speaks volumes about that wonderful man.
@@electricmaster23 a bit in contrast to some of the things Sean Connery said about hitting women, IRL.
I don’t think you could get away with a character like Sheriff J W Pepper today, but Clifton James certainly knew how to make it work.
"We're Democrats Mabel" lol
Haha no you couldn’t, but he sure did excel at the role. Similar to how sheriff Buford T Justice couldn’t be done again now
What the hell was J.W.Pepper doing in this movie?
I wonder if the average viewer realizes that Clifton James was a real bad ass in WW2. He was decorated multiple times. I read an article by someone who was in his platoon and he said he was a rock and had the courage to shame a lion
He was also from Spokane, WA
I think the reason why the J.W. Pepper character isn't universally despised is because, for the most part, he minds his own business. He does nothing to crimp Bond's style.
In fact, Bond's world interfers with his life more than J.W. ever interfered with Bond's.
facts
My favorite line of his was "SECRET AGENT! ........ON WHO'S SIDE?"
th-cam.com/video/5P08jgr9SQc/w-d-xo.html
@ james1148. What about the even funnier J.W. Pepper line of dialogue from "LALD", "That's my brother-in-law!". LOL! Or how about his first line of dialogue in "LALD" -- "I got me a regular Ben Hur down here doin' 95 minimum!".Lol!
So his racism is ignored, he calls the Black guys, boys in the previous movie and calls Thais, pointy heads and pyjama wearers - today he would have his fat ass rightfully kicked.
My family visited Thailand around 1971 and took a tourist boat ride on the klong and yes kids really did swim out to the boats to sell stuff. i thought our boat ran over a kid but then his hands appeared over the sides of the bow and he pulled himself up and climbed in. The guy driving the boat had no problem with it, business as usual on the klong
I hope you pushed the kid in while saying "I'm afraid I'll have to owe you!"
I just love the fact that you can see the long boat break appart before Bond even hits it.
Lmao
And then for some reason, having broken it, Bond turns round and comes back!
never noticed that it's pretty subtle
Only if you slow it down.
And they’ve moved from being sat in the middle to just standing around. It works though.
Love the safety aspect of this scene! Roger Moore is fiddling with what looks to be a real, operating engine with a very baggy sleeve that is mere inches from the moving belts! Could so easily have gotten caught up. I can hear in my head all the gory stories my shop teacher told of loose clothing near rotating equipment.
One of my favorite scenes is when the 2 young ladies rescue Bond from the karate school in record time. And I love JW. And the corkscrew car jump.
(Sheriff J W)..."You not....not gonna do THAT are ya...?
(J B) ..."I sure AM, boy...."
(Lands the car's barrel-roll safely)
(J W)... "Whoo-hoo. I ain't NEVER done THAT before....!
Priceless. The part of sheriff JW Pepper was a real comedic genius. Wonderful!
@@stephenphillip5656 Wasn’t that great?👍
"Something I forgot to tell you .....their father ....runs a karate school!".
Like how Hai Fat left it to the most convenient last moment to let Bond in that one.
Clifton James was a superb dramatic and comedic actor! He was excellent as an aviation expert/scientist in an episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man" TV series. He was also superb in the Kevin Costner film, "The Untouchables".
Not to mention a veteran at Tarawa.
When I saw the Untouchables I couldn't place him. Then after repeated viewings i finally realized who he was . My God!! It is Sheriff Pepper.
Clifton James was awesome in Cool Hand Luke.
@@DixiePokerAce . At some point I'll have to watch that movie to see Clifton James in it!
This is my favorite of all the James Bond movies!
They followed this up with one of the greatest stunts ever filmed--the AMX doing a corkscrew jump over the canal.
JW: You're not gawna...
JB: I sho am, boy...
th-cam.com/video/-WztLMATGH0/w-d-xo.html
@ Mister Schubert. The AMC car corkscrew stunt jump off the curved ramp in "TMWTGG" was unfortunately ruined by (1) John Barry ridiculously including a toy flute sound as the car slowly twists and turns in mid-air in that scene and (2) the slow-motion film technique utilized in that scene. They should have shown the car jump off the ramp in normal speed.
@@michaelbarlow6610 yep, I agree that the slide whistle was worse than unnecessary, but I didn't mind the slow-mo. I think it was a post-production decision as the regular stunt may have happened too quickly for audiences of the time to register what happened, or thought it was fake.
@Mark Richards good call. I always thought it was an AMX, but I think I may have been confused because I do remember being at a car show where a guy had a Hornet X and a nice little still of the scene from the movie. Plus, I remember Hornets being 4-doors and station wagons, so there's that...
@Mark Richards Well, in the movie, the Matador beat pigs to flying, so...
My 7th grade science teacher had a red Javelin with fake wood paneling. That car stood out..
Sheriff Pepper, He DID do that in Your Bayou! LMAO

The sheriff J W Pepper the actor was also in Superman 2 may the both Rest In Peace Sir Roger Moore is the second best James Bond very
he was? WHAT!
Jon Kee Vose yea Clifton James was Sheriff in Superman 2 in 1980 and in the classic Cool Hand Luke in 1967 as Carr as well in The Untouchables with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery in 1987.
@@jonkeevose498 - - he was the senior sheriff that General Zod messed up with when Zod and his henchmen landed on earth.
He also played a cop in Silver Streak in 1976.
60 bahts ? A mere $ 2.35 Canadian dollars. Bond should have bought the damned elephant.
RIP Roger Moore, Clifton James & Elder Julius Harris!
Also Christopher Lee
RIP Roger Commander bond moore.Ans Clifton a great Bond, film with everything action humour tragedy.
J.W. Pepper probably does the most swearing I've heard in almost all of the Bond films. Lol
Way before their was the Newspaper kid saying “2 Dollars!” There was this kid, saying “20,000 Baht!” I’d like to see him show up in another James Bond movie as a villain looking for his money. They call him, The Handsome Man.
i heard moore had problems pushing that kid out of the boat as he felt it would hurt his image as a spokesman for unicef as he did care about children.
thevoid99 just say he saved that child from getting killed
Roger Moore was told that if he fell in the water that he shouldn’t ingest any water, as it contained bacteria unknown to medical science.
He later wrote in his autobiography that he felt so bad about pushing the kid in the water because of this
@@geoffrogerson9937 the kid and his mates are native thai i believe... they are immune to local germs and bacteria.. but not roger moore.. those kids are safe i bet.. in fact in many parts of south east Asia.. to this day.. people ingested such canal waters daily with few problems..
th-cam.com/video/i85HYJVgbLw/w-d-xo.html
@@geoffrogerson9937 The kid jumped into the water on his own and swam from boat to boat.
Clifton James was born in Spokane Ws. and raised in New York. His movie roles depicted small town southerners. That showed how great an actor he was
Amazing to see all the JW Pepper fans in the audience. Guy Hamilton would be delighted
So many wonderful scenes!
Supposedly, Moore was told not to ingest any water if he fell into it during the filming of this scene. He did eventually fall in, but saw under the water what the locals did with the bodies of their elderly. That must of been a bit horrifc.
What did they do??
Oh dear. No wonder he didn’t want to push the young boy in. I know the water was filthy anyway, but that’s an extra layer of nastiness.
Different culture of course, so I shouldn’t really judge.
@@horrorfanandy4647 I've been living here for a couple decades, never heard of that. I've only seen cremation and forest burial. The closest thing would be ash scattering, but most cultures do that too anyway. What Moore saw were probably not undertakers, but rather local mafia.
@@SirHellNaja Thanks for the correction. Not any less grim I must be honest! 🤣
I think the thing that makes the least sense to me in any James Bond movie is why in the hell J.W. Pepper would ever go on vacation in Thailand.
he was such a popular character they bought him back for the next movie. The same with Richard keils character Jaws
@@kingfish4242 crazy to think this guy just died recently..
He likes green curry .
His wife probably talked him into it.
i always wondered that
Those dang pyjamas always making me late for work!
Rest in peace Man U guys made my child hood 🤣
Filmed in Thailand some four decades ago.
More like 5
" I'D HAUL YO AZZZZZ!!!!! "😂😂😂😂
Gotta love Clifton James! Loved him in "Live And Let Die", "The Man With The Golden Gun", and "Superman II".
I see Thailand hasn't changed much in the decades since.. for you hansum man
Boy, you cut out the hilarious part after this when J. W. Pepper tried to mess up with a young elephant and ended up in the water.
Classic Bond. Love it!
His voice is still lingering inside my head and it quite intrigued me about him once saying to the elephant in The Man with the golden gun scene "You is ugly".
You just don't see enough pyjama-clad, boat chases anymore.
I had a similar experience in Bangkok
I wouldn’t be able to refuse such a determined lad!
“You just try that in my bayou boy!”
“I’d haul yo ass!”
They cut off this videoclip from "TMWTGG" just as Sheriff J.W. Pepper was about to recognize Bond as he maneuvered his boat down the river with "The James Bond Theme" playing!
Look how the young boy comes to bond and helps to get his engine on the boat working normally again
Jackie Gleason of James bond movies.
J W Pepper the funniest hillbilly of all time. I would have loved to see him pop up in atleast one more James Bond movie
"Elephant? We're democrats Maybelle."
Obviously, suspension of disbelief is very necessary when enjoying a Bond film, but I cannot accept that this guy would take a vacation in Thailand. This guy would never even leave the southern US.
Hilarious how he pushes that poor kid overboard hahaha, it would drive a certain group of people in 2020 very mad ;-) The seventies had such cool movies and the best music.
A certain group of people?
Moore himself didn't feel great about it. But the important thing to realize is that it's in line with the Bond character, not Moore's.
@@electricmaster23 Besides, he *did* say "I'm afraid I'll have to owe you" and it might be that Bond didn't want to risk the kid's life. It's not like we get to see him go back there to re-pay the kid, if he ever does off-camera.
@@101Volts haha, to be fair, the kid was being annoying, although he _was_ just trying to make a living haha
I bet Moore would fit right in with your "Certain group of people." This is what would haunt him for decades because some asshole decided throwing a kid off a boat into a dirty canal is "Funny"
The good old BANGKOK river chase sequence in the man with the golden gun
JW Pepper is a character!
Never get bored watching Bond movies.
I believe the older ones are the best as you certainly wouldn't get away with certain words now!
The best Bond movie of them all. Filmed in the Exotic East truly made it ranked # 1.
0:30 been seeing and laffn at this while watching this on TV, especially the second runner 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My fav hero,
I want to more
What the! I have that exact wooden elephant
Wieder Bond in guter Manier. 👍👍🍒
007 meets Dukes of Hazzard.
Sheriff J.W. Pepper, The Sequel!
My dad bought that exact same elephant back in the 80’s
These movies were just fun
Tous.Les.Bond.Sont.
Excellents.😀.
2:46 AHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAA I bet even N. Pelosi would hate Clifton James for that quote if he were alive.
I first saw that movie ( my first ever ) when it came out, I was 8...BUT... I was horrified when Bond pushed that kid back in the water...After all these years I still think this was wrong...on so many levels 😄😄
James bond in thailand ( my country) wellcome to thailand
LOVE YOU 007...
Classic bond, roger moore was class
They need to bring JW Pepper's character back in the new Bond films, it would be hilarious.
"We got us a swamp full of black russians driving boats to beat the damns down here boy"

3:25 when my brother gets told off for something I did
20,000 Baht, that was decent huge sum of money back in 1974.
Back then according to my grand parents, Mercedes Benz 280S (W108) would cost you 240,000 - 260,000 Baht. Most Japanese car such as Toyota at the period would cost you approximately 70,000 - 90,000 Baht.
Most Swiss Made wristwatch would taking you another 4,000 - 7,000 Baht but Patek Philippe would asking you for 20,000 - 30,000 Baht or more.
Thai ice coffee, Oliang, or Gopi would cost you 0.75 Baht to 1.25 Baht
Average daily meal would not exceeding 2 or 3 Baht.
2:53 if you got your pointy head out of them pajamas you already been late for work!
Did JW say to Chula’s students of karate “Pajamas”?😆
這個片段也很好看
2:02 to 2:04
What a hunk !
RIP Best Bond.
The only guy to rival kratos in the number times he says ‘boy’
Clifton James was great in Cool Hand Luke.
I Love You Roger Moore James Bond My Sweetheart Darling ♥️🌹💋❤

this is like the temple of doom with the kid
accept there in Thailand not India.
Now I know you.... You're that secret agent. You're that English secret agent from England.
Sheriff Pepper was a product of his time, when we were allowed to be individuals.
I'm come from Thailand
Welcome to The Man With the Golden Gun videos.
'' Bloody tourist, 20,000 Baht. '' 😄
That was cold how 007 ripped off the little kid 😡... even though he was probably just trying to protect him... you know that kid gonna collect one way or the other 😂
i know..
you a the secret agent
bond: OH SHIT
JW from live and let die at 2:07 lol
The pajamas comment ended me.
The bad guy in front of the boat (wearing the black robe), wasn’t he also in Moonraker (the guy who tried to kill Bond with the centrifugal force machine)?
The one in Moonraker had a moustache
@@youngmultiverser9311 Oh, well that PROVES they were not the same person.
@@youngmultiverser9311 😂
It's his brother.
Oh boy it’s sherif J.W pepper again -_-
I'll tell you what sunny, I'll give you 20,000 bhart if you can make this heap go any faster 😂

Bind must have hit the gas valve!
That looked like a GM four cylinder on that little boat. Does anyone know?
D.M.O. ............you may be right , it looks like a Rochester 1 bbl carb ????????
always wondered about that myself
No,it is second hand four cylinders Izusu disel engine made in Japan.from native Thai
Little Brown Water Hogs lol if you get your little pointy heads out those Pajamas you would not be late for work
Be Careful J.W Pepper don't laugh at those Guy's They make Come out and Kung Fu your ass.
I don't think many of you get it. It is called comedy. We are laughing at the ignorant sheriff not with him. Big difference. It's a comedic take on certain US Southern attitudes.
Do you think JW pepper could catch the bandit
😂😂😂😂 FANTASTIC 👏👏👏 SCHENE🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Bloody TOURIST! , 20000 bah! :D
As of December 2020, 20000 baht = £502 or $664. Bloody tourist.
The next JW Pepper should be Ginger Billy
20,000 bhat!
"God damn little brown water hog!!!!!" Ah Ah Ah Ah!!!
As a kid in the 2000s, I thought he was referring to how hippos spray their dung (brown) and are ugly (hog).
I was heavily sheltered…
$20,000 bucks to open the kill switch on the fuel line.
