The iconic scene where James Bond walks out into the middle of screen is observed from the barrel of a gun. The “gun barrel sequence” is featured in nearly every James Bond film and is one of the most recognizable aspects of James Bond, along with the theme song. While the scene has become extremely famous, most people do not know that it is filmed with an actual gun!
In 1962, Maurice Binder first thought of the idea and made efforts to have it filmed, yet ran into a small problem. He planned to use a camera aimed down the barrel of a .38 caliber gun, yet this caused some problems and he could not focus the lens. Instead he created a pinhole camera, making the barrel crystal clear! Another interesting aspect of the scene is the white dots, which were actually just white price tags that Binder had lying around and thought would look good for Bond to walk through!
