“No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!” This was actually the first scene to be filmed on GOLDFINGER (1964) between Sean Connery and Gert Fröbe. Special effects supervisor Cliff Culley said: “They bought a real laser in, which looked great. It had a pencil-thin line, but as soon as you turned all the studio lights on, it disappeared. So John Stears and his special effects team made up this fake one, and we optically put the laser beam on afterwards.” | James Bond 007
