So, we all know DAF was an utter letdown, mainly because the producers didn't let Bond avenge his Late Wife or even remember her!!, But, what if Lazenby stayed, would we get something like this?

Anyway i worked for a few days on this, so enjoy...:cooltongue:



btw if your wondering what the gunbarrel music is of, its off 2006 Children in need - Bond special, i thought it gave a late 60s/early 70s feel to it.

Not bad, although whomever made the video forgot that Ilse Steppat had passed away shortly after OHMSS, and so wouldn't have been in the credits for DAF. But nice find!

What a find, indeed. What when we think what might have been...I believe Laz could have evolved into a very fine Bond. And that clip's enough to make me forget Rigg's claim that she had to bite George in the leg to get him to really emote there.

But Bond did get his own back in For Your Eyes Only some 10 years later.

There's an excellent idea from our bud, Zencat that the PTS of For Your Eyes Only was a dream???.

Qwerty, me old bud. Any chance you can find the thread?. :cooltongue:

I think you made a great job here. This was intended to be the original idea of DAF-pts i think(?). It would be great to se how you tie it up with the rest of DAF. Edited to be..not so silly.

The moment we cut from Bond crying to the title sequence is one of the most depressingly haunting images I've ever seen in a Bond film. If this had actually been the way it was, this would have been one of the best teasers in the series.

Great job mharkin :cooltongue:

That is pretty well put together. I like it. It would have possibly made all the future films different than how they became.

Awesome job. It is a mammoth shame Lazenby didnt do DAF - he would of rocked the house. I agree, that would of made the best PTS in the series history.

Pretty good, mharkin. Now how would this Lazenby/Savalas Diamonds Are Forever played out? That is, how much of what turned up in DAF's script would end up in this "alternate universe" DAF film? It would have been interesting to see although I can't really picture Lazenby with Jill St. John's Tiffany Case. Perhaps Raquel Welch or Faye Dunaway in the role instead.

I just wonder if it would work...imaging the PTS (with Lazenby) we seen made by mharkin, followed by a re-edit version of DAF (with Connery) that follows a more revenge-themed storyline...kind of. Hard, yes, I know but maybe someone could make it work. DAF is one of lowest ranking Bond-films in my opinion. What you think? Is it possible?

For me it just seemed the wrong way..bond seemed to forget the death very quicky..i'm not sure i could actually see Connery upset at the death of tracy..Lazenby for me anyway had just what they needed..they said it themselfs in the trailers "this one is different..hes got heart"

Lazenby would have made a great bond..he was foolish to quit. and lets face it..diamonds would have been a better film..it would have had a different tone altogether.

Wow, that one's great! Totally makes the film look more impressive than it is. I would have been even more disappointed in DAF if I had first seen this trailer and then watched the film! :cooltongue:

This teaser made me think of this link off Far Up! Far Out! Far More! The OHMSS website. It's called "For Her Majesty's Eyes Only"-

this idea is the one Hunt mentions on the extras for the OHMSS DVD... he said it would have been much better this way... and yeah.... I think it does.

Here's a remake of the video I threw together. :tdown:
Considering the other one is long gone and I've discovered Sony Vegas! B)


On the 'Inside OHMSS' Documentary, it stated that, IF Lazenby Stayed as Bond, the Diamonds Are Forever Pre Title Sequence would basically be end of OHMSS.

So, Here's my attempt at recreating this, I've added a Gunbarrel and an Opening Title Sequence, featuring Lazenby's name and a few others, that would probably
return if Diamonds was a direct follow up. I've also rescored the piece...

Yes I know 'Harry Saltzman' is spelt wrong. I can't be bothered to upload the piece again due to a minor gramatical error.

And YES I know Ilse Steppat died 2 weeks after OHMSS was released. This is just a 'What If' Scenario, so it doesn't really matter, anyway. :tdown:

I've also removed the following lines, as I think they ruin the mood:

Bond:Thank you Q, but this time I have the gadgets, and I know how to use them...

Moneypenny: I always cry at weddings.
Q: 007 never had any respect for goverment property!

I cut on Moneypennys sad expression, watching Bond drive off, as I think this shows her agony as her 'office crush' drives off into the sunset.

This one was really good, nice concept, I put it in my favorites. B) (I'm SFisher1993/Powersevilgoldmember from Youtube).

I never saw the original that you made, but I'm sure this one's better. xD
