Why did Roger change his gun barrel


Starting in TSWLM until his last film AVTAK, Roger's gunbarrel changed from his first two movies. Anyone ever hear why he made the change after TMWTGG?

reply

They shot the first gunbarrel for LALD which was filmed in the 1.85 aspect ratio. Starting with TSWLM they went back to the wider 2.35 ratio and thus needed to refilm the gunbarrel.

The same happened with Thunderball which saw Connery actually film the sequence unlike the original which was Bob Simmons I believe.

You are right, I remember hearing about the ratio. Roger actually changed his stance also.

Different aspect ratio, that’s the same reason why they had to reshoot the gunbarrel for Thunderball.
