Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Allow this to serve as an apology for using the famous last lines of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in the headline for THE TIME MACHINE picture. They’re both iconic lines, haunting for very different reasons, in their own films, but a fair amount of you were disappointed to find a pic of George Pal and Rod Taylor instead of George Lazenby’s 007.
So, I did some digging and came up with a couple pics, the best of which I’ve included below.
I’m no Bond scholar, but I’ve seen all of the movies. As a teenager I kind of shunned this film for being “the boring one,” but as I matured a bit I came to deeply appreciate the tone and the real world consequences of this particular story. It really is a gut-punch of a movie and a pretty ballsy move to take such a serious and dramatic turn coming off of the Connery Bonds, which were just like big giant balls of escapist fun. Smart, edgy and wonderfully involving, of course, but escapist for sure.
Lazenby isn’t my favorite Bond, but he was in one of the best Bond films. And he got to marry Diana Rigg and face off against Telly Freakin’ Savalas! Top that Timothy Dalton!
Here’s the pic! Enjoy (and click for a slightly bigger version)!
Not as bloody as the last BTSPotD, but hopefully a little Bond nugget for those hungry for 007.
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Tomorrow’s behind the scenes pic continues our Bond weekend with the bests of the Jimmy Bs! See ya’ then!
