Goldeneye Parker Pen... 3 Clicks?

My wife and I watched some of Goldeneye last night and my beautiful and observant wife noticed something about the scene in Q's lab when he demonstrates the explosive nature of the pen.

After Bond clicks the pen 3 times and asks Q how long the fuse is - when Q takes the pen off him and tells him to grow up - it appears that he only clicks this 2 times.

Has anyone else noticed this? If so shouldn't Q have been splashed on the wall along with the writing and the remains of our good friend Freddy?

    I just watched the video online and I hear three clicks, but I could be wrong.


    However, I was writing my work reports with a parker jotter when i clicked on this thread


    ...I clicked it three times just to make sure

    Imagine rigging a mac so on the third click of the mouse... BOOM!

    Every time I watch GE, I find myself "counting the clicks" when Boris accidentally picks up Bond's pen. It's very difficult to figure out when the pen has been triggered and then deactivated. (I'm sure there is much editing there, too.)

    I have to admit guys counting Clicks seems a little excessive, The closest I've ever come to that was being forced many years ago by my wife to watch children of a lesser god, I was so Bored that I counted the small mosaic tiles around her fire place ( and thats not an Euthanisum ) :))

    Dunno Thunderpussy, you want excessive, the Mathis is a Traitor thread suffices.

    The click issue is important as it's meant to be a suspenseful moment near the end of the film (is Cumming gonna set the bomb off or not?), but I agree, I can't figure out when it's been charged and when not.

    The funniest thing I haven't seen mentioned is the dubbing in of the three clicks right before the pen is knocked out of Cummings hand. All the other clicks might be hard to hear, but when it's important the clicks are obvious.
    Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
