Yes, a classic Q line. Others include, "Don't touch that - that's my lunch!", "Made one of these for the kids last Christmas.", and my all-time favorite, "I never joke about my work, 007."
According to John Cleese, Wilson and Broccolli were planning on bringing back Llewelyn for at least four more films and Llewelyn himself stated he would happily continue playing Q "as long as the producers want [him] and the Almighty doesn't." His very sad and unfortunate death in a car accident prevented this. But personally, the final scene he has in The World is not Enough is THE perfect, most subtly beautiful send-off for the actor who was in this series for thirty years. It wasn't overplayed, yet every ounce of sentiment was there... 1) announce of retirement and impending successor 2) Bond asking him "you're not retiring anytime soon... are you?" - the pause gives an intimate layer to their relationship as if Bond is genuinely taken aback by this Q leaving, especially if Licence to Kill is considered wholly connected to the Brosnan era 3) the way Llewelyn says the last line is somewhat of a fatherly approach 4) "always have an escape plan" is a perfect way of making a farewell a classic Q gag as he descends through the lab doors, another brilliant use of mise-en-scene It's very bittersweet and beyond fitting for the great man that gave Bond his gadgets as well as being a great rival in the one-liners. RIP Sir Llewelyn, forever the definitive Q
I've been on a spree rewatching Bond from Connery to Brosnan and the one constant that has me smiling is Llewelyn's portrayal of Q. He is most sorely missed.
Fun fact, Desmond Llewelyn was an officer for the Royal Welch Fusiliers, he was taken as a prisoner of war and was kept as a prisoner of war until the camp was destroyed, they had attempted to tunnel out once before
Thank you to all military women & men (including Mr. Llewelyn) for your service. The world is much safer because of your bravery and sacrifices. To all military families who lost loved ones, my sincere condolences for your loss. Rest In Peace. 🪖🎖🇬🇧😔
Yeah, it dawns on me that he was funny in kind of the same way that Maggie Smith is. There's something about an older, stiff-necked British person (and I say that respectfully) that is just somehow ripe for comedy, especially if they've got wonderful vinegar-laced dialogue to deliver.
Q: now pay attention 007 There's only two things I've always tried to teach you .. 1st .. Never let them see you bleed. Bond: and the 2nd ? Q: always have an escape plan . (Gawd I miss him )
Last year marked twenty years since Desmond died on that horrible day, but let us think about the many laughs and incredible moments from our favorite Quartermaster, Mayor Boothroyd.
I’m never certain whether Roger Moore interfering with the camera in Octopussy was written into the script, or if it was Roger trying to mess with Desmond. Roger admitted he often did things that messed with him, such as changing a cue-card held by a stage hand from a complicated word to ‘Bollocks’
I remember Desmond saying Sean Connery used to play with the gadgets to wind him up at that point they were going for a 'Frustrated Teacher and Naughty school boy' dynamic between Q and Bond
his smirk gave it away: he caught him with that prank and it was too good of a take to not use- he showed Q had a sense of humor even if he tried to be deadly serious
Even in his first appearance in From Russia With Love where the role is purely functionary and devoid of character… there’s just something magical about Desmond in the role.
@@michaelgreenwood3413 Yeah… I think I know what it is now… as grumpy as he can be towards Bond he always sounds like he’s holding back a TON of childlike excitement and pride for what he’s crafted, even in From Russia With Love.
Desmond Llewellyn is my favourite actor to play q I am currently on James bond film marathon I Always look up at the screen when Desmond Llewellyn is on the screen
I wholeheartedly agree To me Desmond Llewellyn is to James bond is what Bernard cribbins is to doctor who two absolute gems of human beings who steal the show consistently and are both sorely missed
Q: Need I remind you 007 that you have a licence to kill, not to break the traffic laws? Bond: I wouldn't think of it. Q: Good! Also Bond: Destroys half of St. Petersburg's Streets, cars and Monuments with a Tank.
The line ' I want this back in PRISTINE order, 007' when you know full well that will never happen gets me every time. RIP sir - you were a gem despite your relatively short screen time
My favorite Q moments is during the Moore, Dalton and Brosnan era, mostly because that's where he's at his funniest and it seems like Desmond Llewelyn loves to joke around.
The good old days bond, in like flint,the saint,mat helm,man from Uncle,the avengers excellent movies from the past and I still watch them every chance I get o and I spy to I think that's it👍
There's a few extra scenes in Licence To Kill (1989) that you missed... e.g. Q as a chauffeur, Q helping Bouvier & Bond in framing Krest, Q reporting Sanchez's position with his garden sweeper...
From the You Only Live Twice segment...the fact that Bond doesn't even consider Tiger's offer to use his helicopter instead of Little Nellie says a lot; Bond may relish giving Q a hard time, but he's got faith in the man's work.
The only reason the real Q retired from service was because the gadgets suddenly were a chip in a bloody I Phone... No wonder he felt for sodding off in the end... Rest in peace legend..
Since Desmond LleweLyn R.I.P. no longer in James bond, that's when James bond went downhill. I loved Character Q in it. Sometimes people forget he played big of success of James bond franchise. They actor Desmond LleweLyn R.I.P. he will be missed.
Name 2 things that made the 007 franchise amazing? Everyone else : the cars and the girls. Regular fans: the action and the gadgets . Me: the og Q and a good Bond . TwT
He will be dearly miss 😥😥! Desmond Llewelyn love playing Q in 007 and shows 007 Sean Connery the gadget features in the Astro Martin D5 car in the movie Goldfinger 😍😍👍👍!! The inject seat in the car is the best ! He was great in all the Bond films !! My favorite lines from Q was "I never joke about my work, 007"!
Q is so much a part of my child hood. The way most people look at Batman and Alfred, I look at bond and Q. I can’t wait until a VR bond game where you get to play Connery, my life will be complete when I hear Q say, “and try not to break anything 007”.
Fascinating that Desmond originally wanted Q to be a massive fan of Bond, constantly gushing about how cool it was that he got to make all of his gadgets and equipment, before he was told "No, Bond is the guy who breaks or loses your equipment on the regular. You don't worship him, you think he's annoying as hell." and Desmond agreed that made for a far better dichotomy between the two characters.
Time goes on, and the torch has to be passed. The new guy, or kid, playing Q now is an original twist. I like to think of him as old Q's genius grandson.
I love 10:40 where Anya just casually says "Good morning, Major Boothroyd". I feel like it's a flex, like the KGB knows more stuff than they let on, like who the MI6 quartermaster really is.
3:51 - my favorite "it's waterproof of course," "but of course" Q looks at him like Bond's comments and shenanigans happen every day on the microscale hahaha
Haha @ 12:48 I like the "easter egg" (for lack of a better term) that the filmmakers for For Your Eyes Only added there... not the first time they've done that in the Bond films.
From his wiki: His last appearance as Q prior to his death was in The World Is Not Enough in 1999. During his briefing of 007 in the film, Q introduces John Cleese's character, R, as his heir presumptive, and the film alludes to Q's retirement, to which Bond, after seeing Q, expresses his hope that it will not be any time soon. Q's response is to admonish Bond to "always have an escape plan", after which he lowers himself through the floor of his lab. Llewelyn had stated not long before his death that he had no plans to retire and that he would continue playing Q "as long as the producers want me and the Almighty (God) doesn't." I guess God decided that He wanted him. I think I've seen Brosnan make some comment about that scene - Llewelyn had died just 3 weeks after the film released.
It's hilarious every Gadget that's in the James Bond movies ... comes in handy ... in each one of the movies like they know ahead of time that he's going to need it lol
no, THANK YOU!!, its not bond without the Gadgets... but there are none without Q! and Llewelyn was the BEST. the only better "gadget discovery" scenes where from Inspector Gadget (the modern one with Matthew Broderick)- that only for comedy value{when he first found himself, trying out his body}, for 'serious' bond was it!!!
"If you were expecting an exploding pen, we don't really go for that any more" -the new Q I disagree completely, you can never have too many fancy gadgets, and an exploding pen is always a good start
Yeah, that's why I can't get too jazzed up for the Daniel Craig films and their darker grittier "oh, we don't goof around anymore" tone. I like my James Bond with a little bit of escapist fun. Sure, stuff like the exploding pen is silly and implausible, that's why it's so cool!
@@jbwarner8626 And that is exactly why in my book it's still Brosnan who's "borrowing" the 007-title from Connery. The reboot to "darker more serious" which happened with the switch to Craig made me feel like I was watching "Jason Bourne" and not Bond...James Bond. Thank God for the 007-Collection Box!

@johnbrennan4449 yes. He was, I think

@@aleksandarvil5718 that's fucked up man don't joke about that stuff
The irony of his role was that Desmond Llewellyn in real life was actually quite awkward with technology.
The only time "Q" addresses 007 as "James" is in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. What a touching moment. It's kind of like Father - Son talk.
I reckon after Tracey's death, Bond was crying on Q's shoulder since Q clearly cares so much about him, but won't say it to his face
Maximum Bond Fanatic detected!
*Respect*
And also license to kill. He called James Bond " Bond ".
@lucyhardy-styles-shield2728 same could be said for M(Bernard Lee) closest thing Bond has to a father he's called him James at least twice: The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Yes M(Dame Judi Dench) also counts as she was the closest thing he had to a mother.
he’s more like an uncle but one who’s close to his nephew since his dad isn’t able to be
From the moment Q says, “Now pay attention 007” you’re in for classic moment
Yes, a classic Q line. Others include, "Don't touch that - that's my lunch!", "Made one of these for the kids last Christmas.", and my all-time favorite, "I never joke about my work, 007."
"Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws." Best Q line ever.

4) "always have an escape plan" is a perfect way of making a farewell a classic Q gag as he descends through the lab doors, another brilliant use of mise-en-scene

Well said 👏🏻👏🏻
I've been on a spree rewatching Bond from Connery to Brosnan and the one constant that has me smiling is Llewelyn's portrayal of Q. He is most sorely missed.
He did car accident to put himself out of misery.
Better than on death bed and wasting so much money on pills.
“I have always tried to teach you two things...”. 😢😢😢
1. Never let them see you bleed
2. Always have an escape plan
Same feelings...
Sadly (NTTD spoiler alert)...... in NTTD, Bond failed to follow both advice....
He wasn't talking to Bond when he said that. He was talking to the audience
@@andrewchung2940 Well to be fair, we " lost" a cheap ripoff of Bourne, not James Bond.
So no problem at all.

Royal Welch Fusiliers, he was taken as a prisoner of war and was kept as a prisoner of war until the camp was destroyed, they had attempted to tunnel out once before
If I remember right, he wears their regimental tie in a couple of Bond films, implying that Q was a member as well.
Thank you to all military women & men (including Mr. Llewelyn) for your service. The world is much safer because of your bravery and sacrifices. To all military families who lost loved ones, my sincere condolences for your loss. Rest In Peace. 🪖🎖🇬🇧😔
He was a naturally funny man. He got funnier as he got older. M.

Yes that’s true. It’s rare for entertainers to accomplish that,

Yes, John Cleese in a Bond film.
We all missed him very much.

1st .. Never let them see you bleed.
Bond: and the 2nd ?
Q: always have an escape plan .

I saw this in theaters and it broke my heart as a kid. I couldn't believe Q left.
Yes but poetry❤
Desmond Llewellyn was phenomenal as Q and no one quite said "007" like he did.
"My god, what is bond doing?" "I think he is attempting reentry sir." -Q's best line, had me in
stitches. :D
Moonraker had the best soundtrack of all Bond movies.
Last year marked twenty years since Desmond died on that horrible day, but let us think about the many laughs and incredible moments from our favorite Quartermaster, Mayor Boothroyd.
"Something we're making for the Americans...it's called a 'Ghetto blaster'" LMAO!!!
Drops the sick beats, and Tanks!
Q - Definitely the best Bond character.
"I never joke about my work 007!"
RIP Desmond Llewelyn (September 12, 1914 - December 19, 1999), aged 85
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Desmond has and always will be the best Q in the Bond franchise. I will miss him.

Classic!
I was honestly expecting that sandwich to shoot out a poison dart or something.
I can also imagine the sandwich having a pressure sack filled with an acidic sauce that squirts out towards the target.
'Quite Spicy, Q..'

Desmond Llewellyn is my favourite actor to play q I am currently on James bond film marathon I Always look up at the screen when Desmond Llewellyn is on the screen
I wholeheartedly agree
To me Desmond Llewellyn is to James bond is what Bernard cribbins is to doctor who two absolute gems of human beings who steal the show consistently and are both sorely missed

Q: Good!
Also Bond: Destroys half of St. Petersburg's Streets, cars and Monuments with a Tank.
Tanks are excluded from traffic laws
Just part of working out in the field
Rest in peace, Desmond Llewelyn. We will always pay attention.
The line ' I want this back in PRISTINE order, 007' when you know full well that will never happen gets me every time. RIP sir - you were a gem despite your relatively short screen time
My favorite Q moments is during the Moore, Dalton and Brosnan era, mostly because that's where he's at his funniest and it seems like Desmond Llewelyn loves to joke around.
Imagine if there would have been a sitcom between Brosnan and Llewellyn. They definitely had amazing chemistry.
Brosnan had the best chemistry with him. they worked off each other so perfectly.
The good old days bond, in like flint,the saint,mat helm,man from Uncle,the avengers excellent movies from the past and I still watch them every chance I get o and I spy to I think that's it👍
Bet you liked Secret Agent with Mcgoohan ;)
There's a few extra scenes in Licence To Kill (1989) that you missed... e.g. Q as a chauffeur, Q helping Bouvier & Bond in framing Krest, Q reporting Sanchez's position with his garden sweeper...
Yes I was also looking out for those.
Plus, he was at post-victory party celebration in the end of movie.
I think there are to more scenes missing from octopussy 1 He is disguised as a priest 2 vijay Reliefs q in guarding the palace
There was also a q branch scene in moonraker he missed where he tells bond and q about the results of the vial bond sent him earlier.
Always my favorite part of any Bond movie, when I was a kid. Loved all of Q's gadgets and toys.
The scene I like most Is where he says “I think is is attempting re-entry” is hilarious
Q was just as a good as Bond, every movie I was always excited to see what new gadgets he had for Bond.
From the You Only Live Twice segment...the fact that Bond doesn't even consider Tiger's offer to use his helicopter instead of Little Nellie says a lot; Bond may relish giving Q a hard time, but he's got faith in the man's work.
Bond trusts Q with his life. His life depends of what Q and Q Branch develops and they never fail him.
he jokes but is listening intently and respects him and knows Q would never put him in danger or hurt him…unlike others
Just the look on Bond's face after Q tells him about the ejector seat during Goldfinger... you know Bond wants to have some fun with that.
Add in the smug look when Bond does use it later on in the film
There has not been, is not, and will never be another like the original Q. Desmond Llewelyn...may he rest in power. There is no other.
I always loved this guy's, iconic scenes
Its 2021 and I am still a Bond freak,thanks to Q(Desmond)now pay attention.
Same Here !!!
Breaks my heart that final clip.
The only reason the real Q retired from service was because the gadgets suddenly were a chip in a bloody I Phone... No wonder he felt for sodding off in the end... Rest in peace legend..
Just imagine what that Q could’ve done with this eras tech.
technically this was the second Q..
@@uptheroadreviews9464That would’ve been impressive!
I was very sad with his last appearance...it was the end...a farewell of so many years in several films of the franchise
Through 5 bonds he was omnipresent , he really did make each and every Broccoli Bond extraordinary! ... 5 bonds ....count them 5 !!!
His role in Licence to Kill was awesome, he did an amazing job.
I love how he only calls him 007: Strictly business.
Except at his wedding which is pretty fitting and understandable.

Q: Frequently.
As Bond squeals off in the new Lotus Esprit! lol
I’ve known a Q or two in His Majesty’s Service. This depiction has been very accurate and true. Absolutely marvelous. 😊
People asked how the rebreathers in Thunderball worked and the producers said “As long as the actor can hold their breath.”

The inject seat in the car is the best ! He was great in all the Bond films !! My favorite lines from Q was "I never joke about my work, 007"!
I think there's always going to be a feeling of something missing in future James Bond films without Desmond Llewelyn around.
I feel like you can know how good a Bond film is in how good it’s Q scene is. (Excluding Casino Royale ofc)
That reentry line cracks me up
He was also present at the Ascot scene in A view to a kill, only a minor detail
If I were an agent, i could of always relied on Q for my weapons and equipment. Miss him dearly
He had starred in Bond movies a lot more times than any Bonds .
Q is so much a part of my child hood. The way most people look at Batman and Alfred, I look at bond and Q. I can’t wait until a VR bond game where you get to play Connery, my life will be complete when I hear Q say, “and try not to break anything 007”.

My favorite bond character, even more than Bond himself.
I always loved the scenes with bond’s gadgets
Not many actors get to go out in such style
@5:15 They kept out a line Desmond had wanted to add. "Well there is another way, but you may find it rather uncomfortable." LOL
Ahh such a shame, that would've been genius
“The Ghetto Blaster” 😂😂😂
The nostalgia is overwhelming
RIP Desmond Llewelyn *(1914 - † 1999)*
Boy, James really knows how to irritate and annoy Q, especially when he doesn’t take the latter’s advice’s on the gadgets seriously.
What a king.
no, THANK YOU!!, its not bond without the Gadgets... but there are none without Q! and Llewelyn was the BEST. the only better "gadget discovery" scenes where from Inspector Gadget (the modern one with Matthew Broderick)- that only for comedy value{when he first found himself, trying out his body}, for 'serious' bond was it!!!
17:00 'We haven't time for that.' Q Brain Recalculates 'Ok maybe later'
Now THAT is how how you exit a franchise. Desmond was a great Q 😊
12:48 the code was the notes to Nobody Does It Better 😍
19:40 i love the way he says Ghettoblaster!
I swear to god I could listen to q list down spy gadgets all day long
I never understood the suitcase being so secrety full of hidden gadgets... only to be filled with a massive gun in plain sight.
Best Q ever!
Love to see Vijay smile at Bond whenever he said or did something immature.
