[[File:Bond-Gunbarrel-sequence.jpg|link=James Bond (
An imitation of the sequence that precedes The Teaser in almost every [[James Bond]] movie: looking down the barrel of the gun at the agent who turns and fires, and a wash of red drips over the screen. The [[James Bond]] theme music or [[Suspiciously Similar Song|a variant]] may play over this sequence. [[MST3K Mantra|Try not to think about why the blood appears to be dripping down inside the gun barrel.]]
[[The Other Wiki]] calls this "[[w:Gun barrel sequence|Gun barrel sequence]]".
See also [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You]].

* Appears in the commericially released ''[[Highlander (TV series)|Highlander]]'' blooper reels. The scene starts off as it does in the actual ep, but when the character walking with Duncan says "I didn't catch your name" Paul answers "Bond...James Bond." He does the Bond shot and both start singing the Bond theme tune. This is probably a shout out to the fan campaigns for Adrian Pault to play Bond.
