Danner Boots Ice Cleats (on screen!)

GaryD_007

Was flicking through the JB Archives and noticed Bond was (unless I'm very much mistaken) wearing ice cleats on screen after all.

I know Mantis had a pair of ones DC used/also used as have I however, they look to be different in the pic below....

Thoughts??
(Annoyingly the pics are on their side...why does this happen? Vexing X-( )

Good spot!!!!!

I don't have the book but whats odd is this similar shot he does not have them on so were they CGI'ed out?

TeenageBond

The plot thickens... :007)

sruzgar

crudely threw this together, maybe someone could do better but the photos are essentially identical other than the missing cleat, so now which one is real???

welshboy78

Guessing the real pic is with the cleat and CGI'd out as you mentioned above1!

Bond wearing Cleats prob makes him look a bit wimpy )

sruzgar

Same photo though one without cleats is a publicity still floating around online and one with is in bond archives book which you would think they would CGI out before that was published and out there forever!

My guess is that the images for the book had to be submitted and finalized before the film was complete. The removal of the ice cleats in the film could very well have been a last-minute addition to the VFX work in order to keep continuity in the surrounding shots/scenes, as you suggested, Simon.

Some solid theories here...Totally plausible!
But then filming the Solden scenes were done by February last year and the release of the updated archives was in November! It was a double take when I had it delivered this morning!! lol

I think the only time I remember seeing the cleats on film are when he's walking to the Hoffler Clinic?

Yup - just looked, you are correct.

Indeed...



Close up of cleats; pic presumably taken between takes...



Interestingly, we don't see Bond in full when he exits the plane (or what's left of it!) before he unplugs Madeline's seat-belt; only in the picture.



Being that he's going downslope I guess Bond slipping onto his hiney would be a brass neck hence the cleats lol

Like Walther and Welshboy said, we only seem to see them when he initially arrives at the clinic on film -{

Well I think like the American moon landings we will never know the answer to this one

always shaken

we had a tv programme on last night called how its made ,basically they take every day objects ,and show you "How its made"
last night they showed how Danners boots were made ,very interesting,

Whichever one has the six yellow dots underneath, originally bought a pair that came with four red dots underneath so be sure to clarify if possible.
