When lazenby played as Bond he had the potential but not the experience. You can't campare Lazenby to Connery because he only did one film. and Connery did six films as Bond. The only reason people think lazenby was good was because of the story in OHMSS. But lets face it if Connery played in OHMSS it whould of been the best bond film of all time. If Lazenby kept his role of Bond he would of done terrible in D.A.F Because that wasnt the greatest story and I kind of didn't like that movie even that Connery was in it. But my points still stands People only think that Lazenby was good cause of the story in the movie. I some times forget about him because in my opion from frist to last of the Bonds would be Connery,Brosnan,Moore,Dalton and Lazenby. Many poeple hate Brosnan because he is better then Moore.

I disagree completely. In fact Cubby Broccoli said numerous times they ONLY made OHMSS as it was because Connery was not in it. The fact is Connery would not have even made this type of film. The people who keep asserting otherwise know nothing of the issue at hand.

Hello! I totally agree that George Lazenby was and is the best ever Bond! On Her Majesty's Secret Service has always been one of my very favorites, I enjoy the story line, the music, the intrigue, and especially the ski scenes!!! I also like Roger Moore; come'on people, this series is a very glamourous, exciting, comic strip. George is as unsung an actor as is my favorite female-"would be"/"should be" Bond Girl-Morgan Fairchild. Thanks for reading my opinions! http://www.MorganFairchildTribute.com

Personally I think he was an upgrade over Connery. Connery was more charismatic, and had more animal magnetism, BUT Lazenby was Bond.
Just look at the pre-title sequence, Lazenby wasn't some supermodel type guy lucky to be Bond as so many people claim, no that was Brosnan, he wasn't some British stage actor who looked tall dark and handsome and thus simply was given the part like Dalton, he wasn't some superstar English gent actor like Moore who was naturallu given it because simply of that, and he wasn't a guy that was given it simply because the producer's wives thought he was sexy, which is how Connery got it
Lazenby actually got it because he was totally believable as being the guy from the books in every way, and because you really believed he could do those things you see him doing in the film. That makes him unique among all the actoirs who played the part so far, and indeed it is why Cubby Broccoli, Peter Hunt, and John Glen all said Lazenby would have been the best Bond if he simply stuck with it. -

I grew up on Roger Moore playing James Bond and I remember when I first saw Sean Connery as Bond I didn't like that idea much. But now that I've seen all the Bonds including the great George Lazenby in his only role, I must say that his physical screen presence dominates the other Bonds. What I mean by this is from what I recall most of the physical fight scenes were all him and not some stunt double. In the IMDB facts it is noted that he was a martial arts instructor in the Australian army, and holds more than one black belt in the martial arts. He studied martial arts under Bruce Lee himself. He was probably the most believable Bond in my opinion because of that. He talked the talk and walked the walk. I think if he had done more films I would have actually enjoyed his version of James Bond the most. I bought the OHMSS DVD off eBay as a single from a DVD set since they don't release this as a stand alone DVD which is unfortunate because "You are missing out!". I like collecting and watching rare DVDs/movies that people rarely get to experience. If you truly enjoy James Bond movies, get this one off eBay if you can instead of spending over 100 bucks for a DVD set that it is contained in. It's well worth it.
This movie was release in 19 "69"
Guess he also lucked out on the release year.
I also love the Soundtrack to this film. It reeks of classic JAMES BOND! -

His physical fighting skills was only one skill which was impressive, that's as far as it went. His voice was even dubbed which goes to show he also wasn't cut out for Bond apart from the physical aspect.
Upgrade for Connery?! lol Thank for for one of the most amusing statements yet - classic! -

Man, you didn't get any of these right. It goes like this: Dalton, Lazenby, Connery, Brosnan, and then Moore.
