Bond film crew.. er, On Film ?

in The James Bond Films
Movies are complicated things and even with the most careful planning
sometimes a member, or several members of crew can accidentally be
caught on camera.
I was hoping to compile a list of all these moments. ( if it doesn't already
exist ) .
A few famous examples would be from TMWTGG, the studio crew caught
reflected in the mirror during a fight sequence, and when Bond meets Miss
Anders in the shower. Another lady's face can be seen in one of the small
round mirrors. ;)
Any more examples spotted by eager fans ?

    In the pre-title sequence of Goldeneye, when Bond jumps off the dam wall the wide shot briefly reveals a crew truck and crane on top of the wall which clearly shouldn't be there! I can't remember if any actual crew people are visible.

    I'll have to keep an eye out for that one next time. {[]

    ;) as if we need an excuse :))
    It came to me today watching TWINE during the opening boat chase, just after Bond is forced
    in to the riverside restaurant ( lots of smashing glass) as the boats leave ( top left of screen )
    You can see the camera crew, in a boat complete with camera on its support arm.

    quickly watched the pts to Goldeneye, and yes. I caught the brief glimpse . -{

    Even though you can't see them..."Watch that door" in AVTAK is a pretty big one.

    Another one in TWINE is just as the gunbarrel fades and Bond comes into view if you look quickly in the background you can see across the street where a fence is up with bystanders watching the filming.

    Lewis Gilbert does a director's cameo in Moonraker, when the Bondola is going through St Mark's square, he gets a drink spilt on him by a waiter. I can't post a screencap, as it's against forum rules.

    For the ultimate edition release, they considered trying to "fix" that little mistake. (or so says one of the technicians in the special features)

    I doubt it qualifies as "crew" but I always laugh at the Junkanoo scene in TB when the "007" banner is clearly visible among the parade participants.

    Also, the dog relieving himself. :))
    Hilly...you old devil!

    :D yes, The dog is hard to miss, once you've seen it.

    I wasn't aware that the dog was part of the film crew. :p

    ...Mr Piss Piss Bark Bark?
  • Golrush007Golrush007 South AfricaPosts: 3,421Quartermasters
    I've never spotted Mr Piss Piss Bark Bark, I'll have to rewatch the film. :))

    One doesn't need much of an excuse to revisit a classic.

    I recall the peeing dog being so motionless that it looks fake.

    I'll have to keep an eye out for that 007 banner next time.

    One of my favourites is in LALD. To get an overhead shot of the police cars crashing after
    The boats cross the road. A very obvious shadow of a scaffolding tower can be seen, they
    Have tried to disguise it by sticking on a couple of tree branches, ... But still funny. ;)

    I know the revelers in the Junkanoo scene had hats with 007 on them.

    I never notice any of this stuff. Put it up on the screen and I'll buy it (complete suspension of disbelief). I didn't even have a problem with Brosnan's wind surfing in DAD.

    OTOH, clunky dialogue and stupid plotting really bug me.

    Forgive if I'm losing it, but wasn't there a boom microphone that made it into one of the movies?
