With most of the nation having seen Daniel Craig’s latest outing as James Bond one fan decided to piece together every single Bond opening (minus Spectre) together in a synchronised gif.
Imgur user TheThingsTheyCarried posted the 15-secnd-clip - featuring Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig - which is currently doing the rounds on the internet.
Some quick bits of trivia: the first three clips don’t actually feature Sean Connery in them, instead it was his stuntman Bob Simmons who did the famous opening. After the move from 4:3 ratio to 16:9 in Thunderball, Connery took over.
Also, notice Pierce Brosnan’s last clip in the bottom right is the only one featuring a bullet flying towards the audience while Craig’s Casino Royal is the only one without the iconic white blobs beforehand. Watch the longer, YouTube edition of the Gif below, with the synchronisation starting at the 36-second mark.
Spectre could mark Craig’s last act as the MI6 spy. The 47-year-old has not confirmed whether he will return to the role but previously said he would rather “slash his wrists” than play the spy again. It was reported that Sony bosses told him to “shut up” by soon after.
Producers have since said they hope Craig will sign on for another film but no contract is in place yet.
In other Bond news, campaigners in Mexico have criticised the Mexican government for offering tax incentives for them to film in their country. One local said: “Bond may be a hero to some but for many here he is now cast as a villain.”
Spectre, starring Craig, Christopher Waltz, Ben Whishaw and Lea Seydoux, is in UK cinemas now.
