Revision as of 11:24, 17 October 2023
- Crowning Music of Awesome: John Barry's atmospheric score, down to the pioneering use of synthesizers.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Despite being one of the most obscure Bond films amongst the general populace, often inaccurately thought to be a financial failure, the producers and EON have gone on the record saying that if they had to choose one Bond movie to preserve for future generations, it would be OHMSS.
- It Was His Sled: Tracy dies. Following movies up until Craig's reboot mention there and there Bond was married and his wife, killed.
- Replacement Scrappy: It's widely considered a good Bond movie... except for the protagonist.
- Even Lazenby is considered to be Vindicated by History by many fans; lots of Bond and film critics now think he did great, most of the movie's bad reputation now almost solely falling on Lazemby's authentic failure of an agent.
- Values Dissonance: Draco slaps Tracy unconscious when she refuses to leave without Bond, and commments "Spare the rod and spoil the child, eh?"
- To be fair, he was trying to save her life.
- Vindicated by History: Among fans, anyway. The film was not well recieved when it was first released (for reasons regarding Lazenby), but since then many fans of the series regard it as a classic. Also, EON Studios has demonstrated their own love of the film on numerous occasions.
- While the casual moviegoer or average film critic tends to think Goldfinger is the best Bond movie, hardcore Bond fans- and Bond fans who happen to be respected movie critics- have a good chance of listing this film as greatest in the series. Thats how vindicated it has become.
- The Woobie: Poor, poor Tracy.
