So i just watched the first 007 movie that doesnt star Sean Connery, On Her Majesty's Secret Service(1969). Surprisingly the movie has very little grain and the starting visuals where way smoother. The movie was made at the end of the 60s which you can see because some 70s stuff has started to leak in. My favourite scene was where they are on some improvised racetrack in the alps near Piz Gloria during Christmas celebration that they drive onto trying to escape Blofeld's goons and well i like to call it a demolition derby since well its a race in snow but my father kept saying its a stock car race. Another cool scene was the part where Draco and 007 invade Piz Gloria to get Tracy back after Blofeld takes her, also its rather wackass how easily swiss air-traffic control seises its demand that they land theyer helicopter convoy. Anyways some wackass stuff in the movie: Piz Gloria which is now Blofeld's "research station" for allergies, all the patients are females(🤨). Also apparently Sir Hilary Bray is gay or something because when James Bond(he was disguised as him) sneaks into the womens room to show a coat of arms or something and makes advances they all say stuff that indicates hes gay and James Bond just play along with it(he also wore a kilt to dinner idk that entire part was just wackass). Also when Blofeld discovery that Sir Hilary Bray is 007 he says that he needs some therapy and locks him in the gear room of the cable-car system. Another wackass thing is where James Bond breaks into a lawyers office and has to crack a safe where Darcos guys use a crane to bring a safe cracker/printer into the office and the safe cracker takes way longer to crack the safe then the safe cracker he used in the last movie. Also like in the last movie they just immediately fold when Blofeld threatens the UN with bacterial weapons that would make everything sterile. In the beginning James Bond has a encounter with the daughter of Marc-Ange Draco(Tracy) who has like the second biggest criminal organisation after spectre of course. This lead James Bond to marry Tracy who in typical movie fashion gets shot by Blofelds goons directly after the wedding. Over all it was rather wackass over long parts of the movie but honestly the action scenes make up for it and there are way worse movies then this even in the 007 franchise.
