Sean Connery actually had two different gun barrel sequences. The one below is the one that was used most often. In the case that someone ever tracks you with a gun barrel, try not to make as deliberate a move as seen below. It's guaranteed death. I do like how he swings his arm out at the end. It's got a very Frank Sintra "zing pow" vibe to it. Plus, they don't make guns like they used to. That thing POPS!:



George Lazenby's tracking is almost worse. Not only was his walk boring and stiff, and not only does he take way too long to walk across the screen, he almost dances down to his shooting position. It's James Bond meets Fred Astaire. Plus, that gun sounds like it was fired under water. His movie was pretty solid, but his gun barrel track was pretty bad:



Roger Moore's getting a little closer to the mark, but James Bond should NEVER EVER EVER be in bell bottoms:



Hey, Timothy Dalton. Learn how to walk while swaying both hands:



Pierce Brosnan's gun barrel sequence is completely on the money. This shit is lethal. Not only is his walk suave as hell, he actually does a good job at making his gun pull look pretty quick. And he did it all with that Brosnan sense of style:



Ooh. Aren't we all post-modern? James Bond movies need the opening gun barrel track. I hope this is remedied in "Quantum of Solace":
