    Good to see the Defender in real action since most of them in NTTD are CGI.

    It doesn’t surprise me that Lazenby wasn’t name dropped. But let’s be brutally honest: Lazenby’s presence in OHMSS has nothing to do with why it’s a great Bond installment. If you swapped out the part with Sean Connery, Roger Moore, or any other decent actor, and everything else remained the same, it would still be a top tier Bond film.

    The only thing you’d lose is Lazenby’s “this never happened to the other fellow”, and I don’t consider that a great loss.

    I disagree. Props to Lazenby for being the most physical Bond, and for being credibly frightened when SPECTRE was chasing him at the ice rink (probably because he was literally frightened by the acting challenge.)

    He absolutely fights better than Roger Moore would have done, but I tend to think everything else would have been better with Roger in the lead.
    But hey, no offence to the guy: it's nice to have an extra Bond.

    Agreed. Lazenby is one of many aspects that helps prop the film up as one of the greatest ever and in my Top 3 of the series. He's terrific in it, especially considering the large shoes he had to fill.

    For me, the physicality isn’t that essential. It’s all about the charm and charisma, and Lazenby had none of that, or at least anything close to the other actors.

    It would've been truly impressive if it had gotten even one.
