    Because Binder had designed the gun barrel sequence to feature James Bond only in silhouette, with a non-widescreen aspect ratio, he used stunt man Bob Simmons, rather than Sean Connery, to film the scene. Simmons hops slightly as he pivots to assume the firing position and, following the blood wash, the dot becomes smaller and jumps to the lower r...

    For Thunderball (1965), the aspect ratio of the films was changed to a Panavision (real) anamorphic format and so the gun barrel sequence had to be reshot, this time with Sean Connery actually in the role, making it the first time a Bond actor is seen in the gun barrel.It is also the first gun barrel sequence in which the white dot segues to the fi...

    With a new actor, George Lazenby, in the role of James Bond for On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), a third sequence had to be filmed. As with Thunderball, the sequence was once again shot in color. In this rendering, the white dot stops mid-screen and the credit line "Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli Present" appears, much as it did in Dr...

    When Sean Connery returned to the role of James Bond for Diamonds Are Forever (1971), the gun barrel sequence filmed for Thunderball was used. As with You Only Live Twice, the sequence was rendered in black and white, but was given a bluish tint. As in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the barrel is awash with prismatic splashes of light, which this...

    With the introduction of Roger Moore, and the use of a 1.85:1 matted aspect ratio, a fourth sequence was shot. It was used for just two films: Live and Let Die (1973) and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). Moore wears a business suit and uses both hands to fire his gun, his left hand bracing his gun arm. This is the first gun barrel sequence in wh...

    The anamorphic format was reinstated for The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), necessitating a fifth version of the sequence, and needs to be reshot. Moore's Bond, wears a dinner suit rather than a business suit and again uses both hands to fire his gun. Unlike the 1973 version, Simmons, and all previous (and later) Bond actors' versions, Bond's gun is nots...

    In The Living Daylights (1987), Timothy Dalton fires with only one hand unlike Moore, and leans towards the right of the screen, crouching slightly, similar to Sean Connery. As with the openings for Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker (the latter of which used a near-identical arrangement of the theme), the blood-flow effect begins before Bond's gun fir...

    Following Maurice Binder's death in 1991, Daniel Kleinman became the designer of the Bond opening graphics. Beginning with GoldenEye (1995), the barrel was now computer-generated (but still resembles the original images of the barrel itself) emphasising light and shade variations in the rifling spiral as the reflected light shifts with the gun's mo...

    The gun barrel sequence was completely revised again for Daniel Craig's first portrayal of 007 in Casino Royale (2006) (not rip off). Unlike previous installments, the gun barrel sequence does not open the film as a standalone segment: it is instead part of the plot. Having committed the first kill on his way to becoming a Double-O agent, Bond stop...

    A redesigned and more traditional-looking gun barrel sequence is reinstated for Quantum of Solace (2008). As the result of a late decision – after a final cliffhanger scene was cut by director Marc Forster– it is placed at the end of the film rather than the beginning, immediately preceding the closing titles, resulting in some cinema-goers rising ...
