I couldn’t stand it anymore! The constant comparison! Do you have any idea what it’s like living in someone’s shadow?!
Says the bad guy King in Batman Beyond.
King is voiced by George Lazenby.
I bring this up purely because it raises OHMSS only real problem - the fact that they wanted to emphasise that this wasn’t a reboot and was very much the same man as the previous 5, on a level that no other Bond movie would do for over 3 decades, with the clips in the starting credits and looking lovingly at props from Connery’s films - and even when it does happen with other actors, they don’t do it in the actors first film. It forces Lazenby into Connery’s shadow.
Edit: I’ll say the only other film to emphasise it’s the same person from all the other films is Die Another Day and that film didnt stick clips in. Even A View To A Kill got rid of it…
Spectre did, but to emphasise that Craig’s films are connected in their own little Bond Bubble.
