Bond Gun Barrel: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

 

* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' did this when Kenshiro was attacked by raiders with crossbows; he kicks the arrows back at them and we see the view from one of the raiders' scopes as blood comes flowing down.

* ''[[Sonic X]]'' pulls this one - in Francis's imagination about their supply teacher - she laughs at the mental image, not knowing that Mr Syewart IS really a secret agent.

 

* In an [[Elseworlds]] L.E.G.I.O.N. annual parodying James Bond, [[Lobo]], rather than shooting the barrel, spits it.

 

* ''[[Casino Royale]]'' incorporates the sequence into the action of its opening.

** ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'' does the regular gun barrel at the end of the movie.

* In ''[[Flushed Away]]'', the gun barrel is actually a DVD that Roddy shoots with a suction cup dart to drop into the player.

 

* The ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' sketch "The Pantomime Horse Is A Secret Agent Film" had a [[Pantomime Animal|pantomime horse]] at the end of the gun barrel.

* Parodied on ''[[Strictly Come Dancing]]: It Takes Two'', with Anton du Beke dancing inside the gun barrel. Used the Bond theme and made two "Licenced to" jokes.

* 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.

 

* Sheryl Crow uses it at the beginning of her video for the song "Tomorrow Never Dies", the theme song for the [[Tomorrow Never Dies|Bond movie of the same name]].

** [[Madonna]]'s video for "[[Die Another Day]]" ends with her going through a door - and cuts to her silhouette in the gunbarrel, which promptly gets the red wash.

 

* The [[James Bond]] video games themselves have ripped off the red wash at the end of this sequence to symbolize when the player dies.

** There was also an ad for ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'' on the [[Nintendo 64]] asking if players ever wondered what it was like to be Bond, followed by a fat guy jumping around as shots were fired through the barrel.

* Two "gun-barrel-cam" shots were added to the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: [[Video Game Remake|The Twin Snakes]]'': The first is just before you fight Ocelot (the barrel of his revolver, obviously), and the second is just before you fight the tank (with the tank's barrel being used). They're over relatively quickly, but given the other shout-outs to Bond in the series, the homage is obvious.

 

* ''[[Arfenhouse]] Teh Movie'', where Housemaster's demented laughter apparently suffices to cause the blood to drip down.

* [[The Nostalgia Chick]] [http://esda06.deviantart.com/art/Dragon-Bond-Walk-149940873?q=gallery%3Aesda06%2F24008294&qo=20 has an animation of a dragon doing this] during her ''[[Dragonheart]]'' review because the dragon was played by [[Sean Connery]]. It plays three times.

 

* ''[[American Dad]]'' parodied this by having the gun barrel actually shoot Stan, with Stan just now realizing that the scope is a gun instead of an eyeball.

* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Homer Simpson]] does this in the [[Couch Gag]] for the season six episode "And Maggie Makes Three" (the episode with {{spoiler|Homer changing his "Don't Forget; You're Here Forever" sign to "Do It For Her" by covering it with the missing pictures of Maggie}}), later [[Rerun|recycled]] for "The Springfield Connection" (the episode in which Marge joins the police force), only the [[James Bond]] music was at a lower key.

* Used in a ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' episode with a pie, the whole of which was a parody of Bond films.

* Used in an episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' where the gun barrel was actually Patrick looking through a straw.

* Also used in an episode of ''[[Johnny Test]]'', only with Johnny and Dukey shooting a green goo at the camera.
