At 2:23 when the car rolls and stacks.. the wheel from the buggy that must have fallen off when out of shot was still used... they didn't do a second take on the stunt.. only one buggy :-)
The moon buggy is a Corvair chassis with fiberglass wheels that kept breaking off. I didn’t notice the wheel in the theatre in Dec. 1971. They had problems with Ford which supplied vehicles for this demolition derby and, after wrecking two Mach 1s doing the jump, Ford gave them one final vehicle. They had to call in legendary stunt driver Bill Hickman to make this work(strangely, he resembles Connery).
Fun fact: The tri-wheel bikes are Honda US90s, one of the earliest commercially available ATC/ATV model. This makes this scene one of the earliest movie depictions of ATVs.
Oh, boy I believed every bit of this when I got to see it way back in 1971 as an 11 year-old. That ultimate-cool yellow Mustang and especially Jill St. John. I think this also includes 2:22 an infamous on-scene goof all likely noticed. Last shot of the buggy before the car roll shows one of its wheels flapping before it fell off, crashed and bounced into frame.
This, Goldfinger and Live and Let Die are peak Bond for me. Perfect blend of drama, action and humour. Charles Gray is the definitive Blofeld for me too.
This film, those two films and Man With Golden Gun share Mankiewicz as writers and Guy Hamilton as director. I wouldn't say all of these are GREAT blends.. but Hamilton does have a certain command over the proceedings that make them exciting... he's able to blend showing action, with lighthearted dialogue, and keep things moving though it would have been nice to have seen if Peter Hunt had directed again, a solidly written final script in hand before shooting began and MORE money for the production of the film ALONGSIDE Connery's deserved ransom. Similarly Live & Let Die might have been a more legendary actioner if there'd been more money in the production and the villain's organization had more notable interesting characters & some speaking parts for the muscle(and maybe Calvin Lockhart as the main villain with Kotto as his henchman!) and again.. a SCRIPT that held together with Hamilton or Hunt on the job from the start!

Notice how the fallen motorcycle guy, after he gets back on his cycle, just "waits" for Bond to come run up from behind to knock him over... I blame that sequence on the scene director, but it sure must have ruined that dude's acting career....
Certainly the action in these classic movies are a product of their time, but at least many of DAF's sequences don't look quite as obviously fake as those in other movies, including Bonds, around that time. Still those guys in the green cars must be notoriously bad drivers, seeing as they take every possible opportunity to crash or flip the car upside down 🤣
As we can see, the battle electic vehicle vs. Gasoline limousine is nothing new.:-). I like this escaping scene since first look in early 80ies...from a time were small mistakes do not really count. Or am i wrong, at 2.24min. When the Limousine crashes and the tire of the electric escape vehicle rolls in front of it? Lol. Epic . Same as the special method of " kickstarting" the mini trike...thanks for uploading
You'd think the Security Guards would have something like Jeeps or anything else better suited for than kind of terrain instead of Plymouth Satellites.
What model are the green Fords? LTDs or Galaxie 500s? They were great for cruising the highway, but they just weren't built for off road adventures. The red Mustang Mach I was nice, but in the early 70's the Mustang was almost as big as an LTD or a Thunderbird.
i was wondering if the crew had wrecked a couple of those rover props during fiming and judging from the loose rover wheel that appears @2:23 the rover must have flipped or something

I got a Honda 3 wheel tricycle. Very dangerous to ride. My parents bought it years ago one time it lended to a friend of my parents his son decided to take for a joy ride and he suddenly braked with front wheel and he flipped to front of bike and crashed it and broke the headlights.
2.25 approx you can clearly see a buggy wheel rolling down in front of the car that crashed over the bank, with all 4 wheels intact, followed by 3 trikes all with Thier wheels
What sense does it make for the standard security vehicles to be sedans in a desert with rough terrain? They should at least be Jeeps like the gas Jeeps from Jurassic Park. Guy Hamilton just hated the "oversized" American cars so much that he loved crashing them.
Very good job dudes and nicely well done!! Congratulations 994.14% yo throughout the 3rd sizzling patriotic week of said amazing August y'all. Funny part is that they left that LTD sitting there for another 40 years. Used to see it all the time playing in the desert east of Vegas.
that one astronaut who's so committed to the bit he misses Bond because he's pretending to move in moon gravity is the best part of this scene
hahahha i love it
Those astronauts are really fine actors they even move in slow mo when trying to catch Bond lolllzz.

Absolutely love the music score here. Captures, the 70s vibe for this film. Watched, early teens…will always be a classic favourite of mine
