Is this the only Bond movie with a tarantula in it?


Reason I ask is because I have a big phobia of spiders that I even get scared watching movies with them in it and I recall as a child there was another movie with one in it unless I'm remembering wrongly. Is it just Dr. No, then?

Off the top of my head, the only other thing I can think of is the scorpion in Diamonds are Forever. Live and Let Die seems like the type of setting that might feature them but I don't specifically remember any from that film.

Aside from this, the only other Bond film I recall with a tarantula was Live and Let Die.
It is very brief as Bond runs through the jungle/ forest and runs through webbing causing a spider to land on his chest but he swats it away quickly.

I think that was Octopussy

There were some leeches and some other creepy-crawlies in Octopussy, if memory serves me right.

and the only one without sharks, right? πŸ™‚ wow, the lip πŸ‘„ syncing sure don't match at some places, and what's up with the echo when the professor is speaking... any more bright ideas professor? 🧐 at least on the version i saw, spoiler, odd how bond gave him one more gunshot in the ass, what a beautiful shot of london at the beginning, this doesn't have an opening sequence as the following bond flicks, differs from the rest like "never say never again", it has the trademark gun barrel opening though, which is actually lacking or remade in some of the recent bonds i think, i haven't seen them, got to be connery or moore. that is one short tie bond is wearing, notice also they're not wearing seat bealts. i remember bbc pointing out how sylvia trench set off bond with his trademark bond, james bond as she first introduces herself as trench, sylvia trench, (by the way bbc, stop zooming out laura trevelyan you geniuses) both sylvia trench and jack lord were suppose to be re occurring actors but lord wanted too much money and sylvia trench only returned for one more flick, the role of felix returned of course but with other actors, i don't know what happened after "license to kill" though as i don't watch the movies made after 1985, here bond had only heard of leiter. takes a long time before the main bond girl in this shows up. i don't recall ever anywhere else with saying who are you "ringing" rather than "calling". i'm surprised bond's hat didn't fly off when in the speeding one.

Yes this was the movie but no need to be afraid of tarantulas here. Tarantulas don't live in Jamaica and this was a plot hole. They do live in the Americas, but since spiders can't swim, they have no way of coming to Jamaica
