Slick, innovative, compelling and give you a real feel for Jamaica when the animations fade out and the real images appear with the calypso song "Three Blind Mice". It draws the viewer right in, clever stuff.
shareI agree! Love the intro with Connery walking into the picture to that primitive music, and the gunshot was so huge! If I had it any louder it would have blew out my eardrums! The Three Blind Mice that comes later is very colorfully Carribean. A joy to watch.
shareI agree too ! It's got a very enjoyable 60's feel.
The only problem I have with this is the 3 "parts" composing the opening : the dots with the Bond theme (my favorite part), the dancers with the jazz music and the 3 gangsters with the 3 blind mice song.
I feel each of them is great in its own right and I wish they were each an opening to a Bond film.
I don't like the fact that it's kind of a mashup.
yes, groovy and memorable, and the only bond flick (with the exception of never say never again) not to have a sequence before the opening credits, as this opens you could get the idea by the first seconds of the gun barrel the movie is in black and white, goodness a lot of people in this are dubbed, sylvia trench is dubbed as well, and man does she sound good, did you know she was suppose to be a re occurring role in this franchise, she did return at least once more in "from russia with love", and the guy helping bond who, spoiler, ends up getting burned, the role of his son appears in "live and let die", there's at least one scene in this spoofed in austin powers 🚿. there is some music featured in this i can't recall hearing on the soundtrack cd. how about "you'll be sorry, you'll all be sorry, you rats.", also another bond girl spits on him... the first time audiences saw the entrance of honey ryder must have been quite the sight, i was a kid first time i saw it so i thought nothing of it and under those circumstances getting used to it so i never thought it was anything special but i know it's sort of legendary, funny enough i remember always being hooked on galore though in "goldfinger", don't know if i can say her first name without getting a beep thing, considering she's the bond girl with probably biggest rack and greatest curves it would have been something if she made the scene in this. oh, i almost forgot to mention the most important thing, notice sylvia trench sets up for bond to deliver what will become that iconic line "bond... james bond", before he utters that for the first time ever, she has opened with "trench... sylvia trench", hehe, after all these years i didn't notice that until just recently.

full pack of memories,
no u-turn travelling,
today road bleak,
hard view ahead with cracked windshield,
in a world thats faded and withered,
cant bring new life but im still in it,
waiting to pull off the road,
and saviour take me home.
They're looking for the cat
The cat that swallowed the rat!
