Well done, i just don't like the gun sound. It sounds as if she would have shot with a small pistol not a machine gun.



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 it was already clear that Lazenby wouldn't play Bond again at/before the release of OHMSS?

Yeah, he announced it half way though the filming of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Peter Hunt said the PTS of Diamonds Are Forever, would've been the wedding scene in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Which gave the marketing team a tough job. How do you market a film when it's already known the lead actor won't be back.

And seemed to be doing everything to sabotage the film by his odd behavior, from announcing his departure just before the film opens to looking like a caveman in a tux at the premiere. It's a wonder that OHMSS did as well as it did, given that it came at a time when Connery WAS Bond and given all the other problems faced by the production.
