Entertainment films james bond
People are shaken and also stirred by the comedy James Bond edit in which 007 gets killed by one of Q’s gadgets
Film editor and director Peter R. Hunt directed On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and edited four other Bond films, including From Russia With Love, in which he made a very funny edit that would have gone down a storm on TikTok.
It’s no longer available, but Tom Mason recreated it, using a clip from The World Is Not Enough. It’s pretty special.

One of the best things about being an editor is making a joke edit, then screening for a director/producer/writer, and watching them lose their shit when it happens. https://t.co/XLfvNj1LLs

…as if such a minor blip would upset a British secret agent! – Bond: "…oh, was THAT supposed to be an explosion? – did I tell you the time I ordered a Vindaloo…" JW.

Eeryone’s a critic.
If they'd done this in "Die Another Day", it would have improved the movie immensely. https://t.co/MPddrYE8ub
