Worst. Special. Effect. Ever!


The sequence where Stromberg jettisons his speedboat from the tanker has to be one of the worst special effects in any of the Bond films. I don't know how they thought they would get away with it.

I agree, The cgi is terrible in that sequence

CGI? In a 1977 movie?

lol - I think he's mocking the OP. Personally, I'd rather see a cheap effect like that than just about anything CGI.

So, anyway, was that scene done as a composite, or with a miniature boat, or something like that, rather than launching a real speedboat with stunt persons in it?
I'll check next time I watch.

It's been a while now but from what I remember it was a miniature that was magnitudes worse than anything Gerry Anderson ever produced.
