That Dr. No trailer was wild Just like, pausing to calmly go "look how cool this dudes outfit is. And this gun. Quality. Amazing". I don't think i've quite seen a trailer like that before., What a different era.
My Dr No sgd posters : spain 1sh , R65 german 1sh , R65 italian 4sh......amazing , see them on my channel. Happy Bondiversary , 60 on october 5th !
New Bond Trailers: Action montages, fast cuts, epic rendition of the bond theme, reigning in the story
First Bond Trailer: *THIS MAN GOT D R I P .*
Why did this genuinely make me laugh
That first Dr No trailer was like it was made by Dave Zaritsky, talking about his clothes 🤣
I would imagining watching a Bond film with David is a lot of him pausing it to talk you through what people are wearing.
Bond in the 90’s/early 0’s: we have a epic trailer voice man
Bond in 60’s: hold my clothing explanation
I have an odd obsession with the 1960s so, regardless of the films' quality, I love these movies. It's like stepping into a time machine.
Oh man. The Dr. No trailer is like entering another universe. I had no idea movies were ever advertised in that way 😂😂😂😂
That’s the 60s for ya. It’s obviously changed since then it’s honestly funny to see now.
James Bond. Does it everywhere! In the park, in the bar, in space, on the moon, on the beach, under the sea, the morgue, the Statue of Liberty, in the air, underground, in Buckingham Palace, in a school. You name a place, he did it there!
Your mother.
@Under Changes that tickled me, thanks for the laughs!!
Considering some of the places Roger Moore's 007 did it, that isn't too far off.
@@al007italia but the morgue is pushing it , except for The Undertaker.......rest in peace *gong*
Dr No trailer: "Mr Bond is a man of impeccable style."
Thunderball trailer: "There's nowhere Bond won't fuck!"
👨🍳 🤌
Lol 🌭
Lots of interesting things:
1. The repetition of "gentleman agent" was interesting.
2. The YOLT seemed to blur the distinction between Sean Connery and James Bond, exactly what he complained about.
3. Interesting that Tracy is said to be a different kind of Bond girl. She certainly was, but I thought they might not have wanted to mention it when they are also changing the Bond.
Yeah "gentleman agent".... and then connery's Bond hits girls... XD
@@daminguez Looks up their skirts with a periscope.
I find it interesting that Sean Connery started being more advertised in Goldfinger since that was when they started having ‘Sean Connery in Ian Fleming’s (insert story)’ in the opening credits.
The "Hong Kong to Hyannisport" bit in the Dr. No teaser was a reference to then president John F. Kennedy being a fan of the books. Great video!
The OHMSS trailer must've been made before Lazenby said he wasn't going to return, as the posters for that film actively hide the fact that he's Bond.
they did that to drum up excitement for the new 007 so audiences would check it out due to curiousity at least
Great vid, really enjoyed that. I love the 60s trailers. They just conjure up what the cinema experience used to be. Curtains drawing back to reveal the screen. Being shown to your seat by a lady with a torch. Usherettes coming into the auditorium with a tray around their necks selling choc-ices and kia-ora orange. Pearl & Dean advertising. Art Deco lighting and ceiling mouldings. And then settling back to enjoy the film. How I miss those days.
15:46 damn, the Aston Martin wasn't messing around with that wall.
Also "The worlds winieest, toughest gentleman agent" is absolutely brilliant. 16:35
I’d wager that track at 7:05 is an unused John Barry piece - it isn’t in the final film, but has an almost identical orchestration to Barry’s later score for the DAF pre-titles sequence (specifically where Bond interrogates Marie)!
ooooooo wonderful spot :)
Maybe it is this version from John Barry Seven from the same year: th-cam.com/video/-v8tQ18pcD4/w-d-xo.html
@@jwpepper21 it’s not that version. No slow saxophone
The Connery voice-over for Dr. No was spoofed by Billy Howard on the B-side of his comedy record, "King of the Cops" ; "Bond is a Four Letter Word".
"Everything Or Nothing." Always thought the first three movies were released so close together that pre-production for the next film must have already been underway at EON during the release of the current film. In which case "the first Bond film" statement, while ballsy, was true to their intentions. They were ALL IN on bringing Bond to the cinema and making it an on-going franchise.
And now they can't stop. It's a tentpole of cinema
I get the impression from the YOLT trailer that they're trying to emphasize that this is the real James Bond film with the real James Bond actor from the real James Bond filmmakers, in contrast to Casino Royale.
And I wonder if that first Dr. No trailer was going for an Alfred Hitchcock trailer feel.
Since Casino Royale came out before YOLT you may be right.
Agree. If you can get your hands on other YOLT trailers, it is more obvious how they are trying to distinguish the "real" Bond from the "fake".
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the You Only Live Twice trailer!
3:28 ah yes the famous marine mammal, the honeychilus ryderus.
20:19 Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, she's a delight, passive aggressive, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays. Sundays, murderous monster.
20:59 hey kids your new 24/7 Bond butler has just arrived.
21:08 yes look at Martine Beswick with her not blonde or brunette hair
21:24 is that a euphemism?
31:09 your cat is James Bond, the hobo outside the supermarket is James Bond.
The hobo outside my supermarket is actually George Lazenby, but he's apparently doing it voluntarily.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer George "Lazyboy"
George Raft is also one of the key names on the poster. He only was in the film, because by then with his career washed up he was working as a Host at The Playboy Club in Mayfair, doing his coin toss to amuse rich punters, and having his photo taken with them. And in his downtime partying with The Kray Twins.
Funny how Raft was basically responsible for Bogart's stardom. He foolishly turned down all the roles that made Bogie a star.
4:22 I think the announcer said “Hyannis Port”, which is where the Kennedys lived - using the fact JFK was a fan of the books to help give the film some prestige (or book rather - he said he liked From Russia With Love but I don’t know if he ever publicly said he had read the rest). I assume Hyannis Port being where Kennedy lived would’ve been common knowledge back in 62. Sounds a bit jumbled though - I guess the film print deteriorated over the years.
Yeah, that'll be exactly it. The JFK FRWL link first arose in '61, so it would have been a pretty current reference to draw on at the time of Dr No's release.
yes he did BenCol. 👌👍
Yeah, FRWL was specifically chosen for the second Bond film due to the JFK connection.
Apparently JFK was a super fast reader and consumed all the morning papers while having his breakfast, so he probably did read all the books as none of them are that long.
@@vordman Damn so JFK died not knowing if Bond would ever get his revenge on Blofeld for Tracy's murder. Yet another reason his death was so tragic lol.
Anybody else ever thought that Connery's double kick [ knife / gut ] and throw, in the Quarrel & Puss Feller scene was nicely and smoothly done ? Looked like he'd had a proper karate lesson !
@28:26 Calvin!! You certainly know how to make a guy blush! 😉🤣
Wonder if it's a sign of the increasingly 'liberated' 60's why there is so much focus on Bond's women in some of these trailers? [Certainly compared to the later ones] as this much womanizing in movies probably wasn't seen much in the Hayes Code years.
Said womanizing isn't been seen these days, either.
Appearently the Cinematic Bond was heavily inspired by North by Northwest, so its my theory that that "clothing analysis" was an attempt to be Hitchcockian somehow, as Hitchcock often appeared in the trailers themselves explaining the film humorously....idk just a theory.
Interesting how much more the girls were a selling point in the 60's than later - makes you realise how raunchy these were for the time.
I find a lot of the voices in trailers sound better than the dubs they are given imo lol
Connery's v/o on Dr No is almost Chandleresque! (Raymond not Bing)
"Could I BE any more a spy?" - James Bing
Interesting as Ian Fleming and Raymond Chandler were friends in real life.
"OO7: The world's whiniest, toughest gentleman agent" Lol, that Goldfinger trailer narration could have used another take.
Maybe they got mixed up with Woody Allen in Casino Royale
All those narrators suck.
32:20 They probably were contracted to have the directors credit in the trailer [and the troubled production would be well know to the public at release] but having 5 directors at the end of that trailer [technically a 6th is un-credited as the second unit director took over for the final stretch] should have set off alarm bells.
I thought when they were casting, one of the troubles was that they were looking to find someone who was will to sign up for four pictures. Bond was the MCU before the MCU, planting seeds for future movies they were already working on. They were going to do four films in four years, rain or shine, failure or success. I mean if John F Kennedy's top ten favorite books list having From Russia With Love in it was what the the films going, then why not just do that film, or start with it and see how it goes, unless you were planning on doing a bunch at once.
The Dr. No "Teaser" is actually the US Domestic version that came out after the regular one.
"He's gotta a bigger C***!" l'm in tears over that one, mate. I wasn't ready for that.
In the You Only Live Twice trailer they affirmed Sean Connery IS James Bond to differentiate it from the Casino Royale spoof because both were released around the same time. Makes sense because the Casino Royale one sells all the actors who play versions of James Bond.
Thank you Calvin for making my wishes come absolutely true! You rock!!🎸😎👍 By the way, both Sean Connery and Roger Moore trailer collections are awesome!
Please do a video on teaser/ TV commercials on James Bond video games.
I love the commercial for the Tomorrow Never Dies video game where they got Desmond Llewellyn to hype up the game. It's funny in hindsight considering that when the game came out in stores, most of the features that Desmond talked about in the advert had actually been removed from the final game.
It's like the video game equivalent of The Man with The Golden Gun trailer, with both featuring cut material that has never been released in any other form.
@@HOTD108_ I hope one day someone release the playable build of that version of Tomorrow Never Dies video game.
It’s a shame there is no official trailer for Barry Nelson’s Casino Royale if I won the lottery I would have MGM create one just to see how @calvin Dyson would rank it
There's an interesting error in the From Russia With Love trailer. The announcer says "from Venice to Istanbul, from Paris to London". Paris doesn't feature in the film. However it does in the book, as that's where the Klebb attack on Bond in the Hotel Room occurs, rather than Venice. I wonder how this slipped in? Even if the other Venice parts were separate, surely by the time the trailer was assembled, they knew the Hotel Room scene was in Venice rather than Paris?
My favourite Bond trailer is the From Russia With Love one. I just really like it and I think the 1962 Bond theme works perfectly for that trailer.
Same here.
I def would rank YoLT’s trailer higher, but otherwise I agree a lot with what Calvin said. The first few films had a novelty, because they were still trying to figure out the formula, and didn’t have a template to build from.
The thing that most amused me though was when Calvin was rocking and slightly dancing with the music and sequences he enjoyed the most. It was adorable! It’s a reflection of their appeal when you can ease up, relax, and just groove while watching a video… and the camera is on you too. 😅
The first "Dr. No" trailer mentions then President Kennedy without actually using his name. "The favorite of millions from Hong Kong to Hyannis Port..."
The Kennedy Family home is in Hyannis Port.
"Go back to your superiors and report. Tell them the little fish I throw back into the sea" is my standard way to say good-bye to people.
"From Hong Kong to Hyannis Port...." The latter is a reference to the Kennedys (and JFK). The family, to this day, maintains a compound there.
Great video as usual! Have to say, I thought the on her Majesty's Secret Service trailer showed great scenes.
The thunderball one is disappointing mainly for not using the original score from that film (which is awesome!).
"Cum see his Thunderballs."
I'll show myself out...
I agree with your list, I remember getting CR 67 thinking it was serious.
I love your debates with David, thanks for the great content Calvin!
Thx for the vid. They had that tv ad feel to it , lol.
At 12:20 the pan on the train as it zooms by cutting to the shot of Tatiana as she does the twirl coming out is a great edit. Was that for the trailer or is that how it is in the movie?
Great thoughts on these trailers Calvin, I remember watching these on the discs years ago and being turned off by how antiquated they were, but you've really brought some nice historical perspective to their evolution.
Find it interesting how there's been less and less number of Bond films through the decades. 6 in the 1960s, 5 each in the 1970s and 1980s, 3 each in the 1990s and 2000s and only 2 in the 2010s. Wonder how many more we'll get in the 2020s after No Time to Die was finally released in 2021 following several delayed release dates. With the way films were often delayed during Craig's era, probably just 2 again (so long as we don't end up waiting til the 2030s for Bond 26)😄
If it were up to me we'd get at least have four more Bond movies this decade since Eon's lawsuits are all settled and coronavirus is more or less over. There's no real excuse to wait so long anymore. But knowing Eon, we'll be lucky if we get two lol.
@@spencerkindra8822 Exactly
@@spencerkindra8822 Aging like milk, huh? 4 more this decade is looking very unlikely now. Especially since we still don't know who is gonna take over the role from Craig.
I like the narration in dr no, first trailer, they have to let people know what they are in for since this is a new IP. dr no sean connery narration worked, i know roger moore did somewhat siilar stuff as well. i agree with your list, majesties was a good way to market a new bond, but dr no, through goldfigner was great, and then ohmss, was great. also saw spencer recently and jack farthing should be a contender as next bond he has young robert pattinson, charles dance, and ian flmeing vibes. and i dont mind slim bond than muscular manly bond.
That was an awesome review, thanks. I thought the best were Goldfinger, OHMSS and, of course, Casino Royale. And yes, that scene with the cowboy and the chandelier is in the final minutes of the movie. Incidental observation, the "gentleman spy" exits with OHMSS.
Great stuff once again
So glad there's someone with a channel dedicated to Bond, love the video's mate, really enjoyed your Q&A with drinks from the series aswell. Keep up the good work
I’m saying the first Dr. No trailer just because I’ve never seen anything like it
In the 60's version of Casino Royale, Bond has a daughter and he (and everyone) dies at the end and James Bond 007 is a code name.
Kind of reminds me of a recent Bond film...🤔
James Bond is not a code name in No time to die [though the title 007 gets reassigned to an agent not called James Bond while Bond is in retirement].
I do blame the 60's Casino for starting the code name rubbish in general despite being un-official and to me it never made senses in the Connery-Brosnan era anyway [with the characters aging in 'comic book time'] as Desmond's Q is present throughout and treats each actor as playing the same James Bond character.
The Dr. No trailer is giving me Monty Python "naughty bits" vibes.
Great video Calvin.
Have you ever checked the wiki page on the censor cuts before certification. It's very interesting.
I wonder what happened to the cut scenes.
"I think I will -- pass." LOL!
Very interesting Calvin. The first Dr No had me laughing non stop. When the gentleman was mentioning about all his clothes and whatnot I half, expected him to say “And Mr Connery’s toupee is made of the finest human hair, from Simon’s of London. It is waterproof and wind proof and even rust proof, for wears galore.” 😂 😂
Calvin, you should rerank all of the bond movies so we could see how NTTD ranks and to see if it has affected your opinion on another movie
Well done sir. I liked the first Dr. No trailer myself.
I like this classic trailer better then the new once. Especially the trailer and marketing stuff in the 1990. Very much krach bum peng and gadgets, but too less actor related.
20:47 Registered Bond Mark! Hilarious!
Throwing chairs?
By YOLT you could see connery getting older by lookin closely to his hair
I do it *everywhere* too, Calvin.
It would have been nice to have seen the sockpuppets again. I now can't hear Kevin McClory's name without thinking of them.
Interesting that versions of Monty Norman's Dr. No music ("Dr. No's Fantasy") shows up in the FRWL and Thunderball trailers!
Imagine a world where Sean Connery was in OHMSS that probably would have been the best film in the series
I think an enthused Connery would have made that a lot better. I kind of wonder if Lazenby had done You only live twice [as he was a good physical Bond] and Connery did OHMSS that would have been better.
From what I’ve read it would’ve been a very different film if Connery was Bond - it wouldn’t have simply been the OHMSS we know and love but with Connery instead of Lazenby. Earlier drafts were much more campy (including an underwater Aston Martin that could fire harpoons) - it wouldn’t have been the faithful Fleming adaptation we got in 1969.
Also they wouldn’t have cast Diana Rigg as Tracy with Connery as Bond.
I agree that Connery in the OHMSS we got would’ve been great but I’m glad we got the OHMSS we got rather than one which played up the campiness (also I don’t want to live in a timeline where Diana Rigg isn’t Tracy Bond - that was perfect casting).
@@BenCol Fair point. I heard Brigitte Bardot or Raquel Welsh were wanted for Tracy when Connery was going to do OHMSS which would have been awful. I do wonder if making it more serious might have kept Connery onboard as part of his disillusionment with Bond was the OTT aspects in Thunderball and YOLT.
@@jamesatkinsonja Yeah, he always said his favourite was FRWL so your hunch sounds right. I guess maybe they were too scared audiences, who’d come to like and expect all that OTT stuff, would reject it.
@@BenCol judging by the original script I wonder what it would have been like with Roger Moore
The spoiler Dr No. trailer used to play before the film on my VHS...
Ranking the 60s Bond trailers:
1. Dr. No
2. Goldfinger
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. From Russia With Love
5. Thunderball
Connery's voiceover in the Dr No trailer sounds to me like he's trying to sound more English. Which is fairly plausible, as his accent had not yet become his trademark, so the marketing people may have thought him sounding more English would sell the film better.
Casino Royal Tune is awesome I actually find the film quite entertaining and surreal
Does this mean a video every Sunday? Is this what happiness feels like?
Based upon these, you could make an entire video of things only in trailers, or things edited out of the films from the trailers, such as the voice changes/dubbing that wasn't dubbed in the trailer.
James Bond does it *EVERYWHERE*
James Bond does *it* everywhere!
Hey Calvin, are you reviewing the DS-versions of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, Quantum of Solace, Blood Stone and GoldenEye (2010)?
Unlikely. I don't think Calvin owns a DS. I definitely wouldn't hold my breath.
@@HOTD108_ I don't have a DS, but i'm planning to buy one just to play the Bond games.
Calvin your spoiling us by getting these trailer reactions out so fast :) . 1:39 "HOLD IT, may we call your attention to Mr Bonds Impeccable tailoring?" haha imagine if they did that for the Daniel Craig Bond movies in a modern cinema!!! you could do a parody edit maybe :)
Thanks for doing these man !!
but I hope this won't be the last time you'll do trailer reactions. ummmm VHS, DVD and blu ray ones maybe??? pleeeease?? Goldeneye VHS 1996 UK opening to be precise??? video game ones?? what ever you feel best man
Watch - Tag Heuer.
Bottle of Beer - Heineken.
Car - In several hundred pieces in the bottom of an Italian river.
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer ummmm what?
Great!
Calvin, is there _any_ chance of you doing a review of the James Bond-like _Kim Possible_ TV series?
1) Maybe Ian Fleming's name was featured so prominently in the advertising through Goldfinger because Fleming was still alive and after Goldfinger, the movies were less adaptations as just using Fleming's titles. 2) Whereas the '70s trailers featured the screenwriters' names prominently, the '60s trailers only featured the screenwriters' names on Thunderball. 3) If You Only Live Twice was released after Casino Royale, that would give context to calling Sean Connery the one and only.4) "Ravishing redheads." Was the nurse ravishing or did Bond ravish her? He did blackmail her into having sex after all.
OHMSS voiceover guy: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"? What's that even supposed to mean in the context of the movie?
12:46 Never heard this name before.
13:20 music from the Dr No soundtrack. Must be The James Bond Theme. Ansd Aagain at 20:06.
13:40 Paris ??
Hated the thunderball trailer too for the same reasons. great video though
Join the Casino Royale Fun Movement!
Nah I'm good thanks.
hey mate, id be intrested in wot you think about some of the othher super spies.. mat helm ,flint, u.n.c.l.e,smilie, harry palmer etc. i know you cant beat bond but id like to hear your thoughts. maybe a good idea for future vids.. helm vs bond etc. i love em all lol it would be interesting to know your thoughts :)
What about a video where you compare the books and movies and say which one you prefer, or ranking bond movies on accuracy to the books, even if the books scenes dont appear in the same titled movie (like all the live and let die inspired scenes in liscense to kill)
He does do that in his reviews of the books where he'll compare the book to the adaptions, usually towards the end.
I really couldn't care less if the movies are accurate to the books or not. Don't get me wrong, I like the books, but all that really matters is of the movie is good in its own right or not.
The 2nd (theatrical) Dr. No trailer is the 1 I remember. The 1st one (teaser) you showed was new to me. Pretty much agree with the rankings. Casino Royale's trailer was definitely in a class by itself & not fitting in with the rest. I do enjoy Casino Royale, & leave it at that. But you did leave out 2 trailers for 2 movies loosely connected to Bond, O.K. Connery (aka Operation Kid Brother) & Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Both of them had several actors from the Eon series.
I can’t believe this is what they looked like
Will we see a trailer ranking next?
With that Casino Royale trailer, they may as well had the cast say " I'm Spartacus".
Awesome :)
Calvin! Whilst youre waiting for IO interactives game i wonder if youd consider playing through the Metal Gear Solid series? Tonnes of bond inspiration! Especially Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ( bond-esq theme song included) could make for some interesting videos
The Dr.No trailer didn't make me want to watch the film but it was fun to hear Connery do the voice over in an almost English accent. In the first 2 films his voice is more "refined" but by You Only Twice he's full on Scottish. 😂 Ian Fleming seemed to disappear from the OHMSS trailer. It could be they were obligated to give Fleming bigger credit while he was alive. The film posters and promotional products were more about promoting Connery as Bond than the trailers.
hi calvin 👋
Yeah a lot of those Dr. No Monty Norman themes are in a lot of the Bond Trailers. You know I watched for the first time Casino Royale month ago. That movie is supposed to be a comedy. It’s supposed to be a spoof. But it is so wacky I really didn’t laugh. Second time I watched it in my life. I saw where they got the Austin Powers idea from. Austin Powers was funny. That movie is just bonkers Just like it’s Trailer.
One thing I wills interesting: Bond actually never used a Walther PPK in Dr No.
I like to think Bond uses the same Walther PPK that Hitler used to blow his brain out.
Love your videos!
Btw I think your trailer reactions are out of sync, like when something happens your reaction is delayed.
Example: 8:56
Playing videos out of sync are a Calvin Dyson trademark. Seriously, go watch any of Calvin's reaction videos, they're ALL out of sync.
Still love watching Calvin's content regardless though.
Looking closely at the scene where Bond shoots Professor Dent. . . It appears that 007 managed to snag that Beretta back!
