Trivia:
Timothy Dalton and Roger Moore were both offered the role of James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), but both turned it down. Dalton felt he was too young at the time, and Moore was still under his contract in the TV series "The Saint" (1962). moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: Flipped shot: In one shot where both Bond and Draco are shown in the cockpit, the Huey behind them has the tail rotor on starboard but all other shots show the tail rotors on port. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Q: I've been saying for years, sir, that our special equipment is obsolete. And now, computer analysis reveals an entirely new approach: miniaturization. For instance, radioactive lint. When placed in an opponent's pockets, the anti-personnel and location fix seems fairly obvious.
M: What we want is a location fix on 007.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) in my opinion was the best film of the series. I felt that George Lazenby was unfairly slagged by the critics for his performance. He did the best that he could. His acting fit very well for his character.
The direction moved the film at an even pace. The action set pieces were impressive and Diana Rigg was hot. Telly Savalas was excellent as Blofield, he gave the character a suave touch. But you call tell that underneath his mack daddy act he was all business, and violent business indeed.
Everything about this movie had a cool aura to it. The stunt scenes were amazing (for it's era) and the cinematography was beautifully shot. I had one bone to pick with the film. The in jokes got a bit heavy handed. Other than that it's a fun film. Too bad George Lazenby was demoted to B-Movie hell after this flick (at least he got a three picture deal with Golden Harvest where he made three classic action films).
I have to give this movie a high recommendation. If you love the James Bond series you'll enjoy this one.
