    Good to hear on Mr. Lazenby. All best to him and his family.

    'Tis the season I'll be searching him out.

    George is a tough chap. I'm sure he'll recover. :)

    That shot of Lazenby smoking, along with John Barry's music... perfection. The opening to OHMSS is magical. It's the perfect combination of Ian Fleming/Cubby Broccoli Bond.

    I hope Eric Roberts had a nice afternoon shooting his headline role :D

    I mean, it's a Z-movie so it makes sense.

    Thing is, it really doesn't look cheap. It clearly has a level of production/costume design, varied locations, choreography, and indeed actors (ok, Daniel Craig isn't going to make a surprise cameo, but even Eric Roberts and George Lazenby require a certain amount of money). It simply has all the staples of a relatively well funded but badly made low budget movie - the bad colour grading, the bad ADR/dubbing, weirdly flat or overexposed lighting at points, and indeed the absolute scale of it despite how rubbish it looks. Reminds me of Uwe Boll films more than Tommy Wiseau or Neil Green (so boring and not worth watching).

    Haha, the man with the shaven head and the beard at the very end is the prison inmate from Wishmaster 2, the one who wishes his lawyer to go eff himself, and yes, a truly ridiculous scene ensues.

    His best films outside of Bond: The Man From Hong Kong, Who Saw Her Die, and Stoner.

    Wait, has no one's seen Saint Jack, the Peter Bogdanovich film (maybe his best) set in Singapore from 1978?

    Lazenby has a small part near the end as a closeted gay US senator set up for blackmail by the CIA, if memory serves. But it's a crucial plot point in a morality tale centered around the titular Ben Gazzara character, with a strong supporting cast (Denholm Elliott, James Villiers) and a seedy milieu fans of American Cinema from the pre blockbuster era will likely enjoy.
