First used in the 1948 Western "Yellow Sky" with Anne Baxter and Gregory Peck. Unfortunately someone will always remove facts like this from the article claiming it needs to be verifiable, well, watch the movie, what more proof do you want. Wikipedia is so badly flawed that revisionists can just opionionate articles till they become worthless. Gunter ( talk) 18:53, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Just a though, but should the word "actual" in, "...introduced an actual CG bullet being shot..." be taken out? That's sort of like saying, "A real faux diamond".-- Lewk_of_Serthic 21:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Quote the article: It will differ from every previous film by not opening the film with the sequence, but instead ending the pre-title sequence with it where the viewer actually sees the assassin about to shoot Bond before he turns to fire on the assassin.
Just because the trailer shows that does not mean the film will start in that way. I mean, why would they change it? -- TonicBH 17:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

How about getting some images of the Connery & Moore shot in there? I'd do it but I dunno how. Tommyt 02:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Was the sequence really done with a pinhole camera in an actual gun barrel until the mid-'90s? Because, for one thing, the Dalton image in this article very clearly looks like a gun barrel element was "matted" to the film, and, for another, I don't think a pinhole camera would pick up the interior contours of an actual gun barrel. Max22 07:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
There is no way was this sequence done with a pinhole camera. First off, shooting through a pinhole requires a tremendous amount of light to get any image at all, even at a slow shutter speed of about 1/15 of a second or so, never mind the standard 24 fps at which a motion picture camera shoots. So never mind illuminating the inside of a gun barrel, you'd have a tough enough time filming anything.
And all of the barrel sequences up to and including License to Kill show telltale signs of compositing.
If anyone can actually reproduce the barrel sequence with a pinhole camera as described here, I will saw off my own foot and eat it. 70.72.14.12 ( talk) 20:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
I kinda doubt that it's random. I think it's just moving side to side... But I only saw the Tomorrow Never Dies movie and played the GoldenEye 007 game. --Addict 2006 22:16, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, after peeking at the gunbarrel sequences in a few other movies through the Ultimate Edition DVDs, I'd say they're not just going side to side but they were random at first, and that was changed. Nothing about Casino Royale though. --Addict 2006 15:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure if this is possible, both technically and copyright-wise, but perhaps the best way to illustrate the gun barrel sequence would be to put a video the sequence into the article, and set it playing on a loop? Editus 16:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

With regard to a recent reversion, the previous edit contained way too much POV, repetition and statements of the obvious. If you read my edit, you will see that nothing has been lost and I also added the Costume section and the info on Daniel Kleinman.

The section about the first appearance of the gunbarrel opening is incredibly incoherent. The Dr. No credits BEGIN with the gunbarrel bit before going straight into the geometric patterns of dots. To claim the film didn't use a pre-credits sequence because of its low budget is moronic, it's a stylistic decision which could have no impact on a film's budget. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.189.136 ( talk) 00:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The Gunbarrel Sequence has been parodied scores of times. Probably hundreds of times throught international media. It seems silly to list them all. I suggest altering this section to a brief paragraph summarising the fact that the sequence has been oft-parodied and maybe listing the most notable ones in prose. A bright cold day in april ( talk) 01:29, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
I suggest changing the title of this article to Gun Barrel Sequence. This is the name that the sequence is commonly called by / referred to by. And the addition of James Bond at the beginning of it seems unnecessary. Any thoughts? A bright cold day in april ( talk) 01:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
There is some room for improvement in this article. Whilst there is plenty of information in here and some improvements have been made since Quantum of Solace was released in the UK (although it seems as though some of this has been reverted). There is a very large trivia section at the bottom of the page, related to parodies, which is hideousley bloated. There is also vague, sketchy and misleading information in the article itself. The Costume section also contains information which would be more sensibly put in the "Evolution" section (as, indeed, some of it already is).
I would suggest removing the parody section as the first port of call (or, at least, condensing it considerably) M&m enterprises ( talk) 14:59, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
The usage is inconsistent throughout the article and a uniform style ought to be adopted. I'd suggest gun barrel. A bright cold day in april ( talk) 23:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Are there any sources for the gunbarrel sequence being at the end of the movie? I've seen a lot of editing around this but no references have been supplied. Spleep ( talk) 22:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I've found one from a website called "ReelzChannel". I'd imagine there will be plenty more once the film has been released internationally. A bright cold day in april ( talk) 18:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
The gun barrel looks dirty and has imperfections; exactly what a used gun should have. The other CG barrels were just too clean to appear real. -- IViking ( talk) 19:21, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Details are often added regarding unused gunbarrel sequences (e.g. those that are filmed but not used in the movies). I suggest a separate section - "unused sequences". I can think of at least five - Roger Moore in 1973 (used in several of his trailers), John Gavin in 1971, Pierce Brosnan in 1986 (mentioned in numerous reference works), Pierce Brosnan in 1995 (used in Goldeneye trailer), Daniel Craig in 2008 (as mentioned in the ReelzChannel interview).
I think such a section should be kept fairly brief, but it would stop irrelevant materieal being added to the main sections. Thoughts? A bright cold day in april ( talk) 12:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia's fair use rules only allow an image to be used once within an article; for that reason, since the QoS gunbarrel is used as the main image for the article, we can't have it used a second time in the list, so I have removed the second use. If another main image is used (for example, should Bond 23 use another gun barrell) then the QoS image can me moved down to the list again. 23skidoo ( talk) 18:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Apparently there were seven grooves in the gun barrel. They added the eighth one in Goldeneye.

Someone added the "improper use of copyrighted material" tag, but of course never bothered to add a rationale to the talk page. If the concern is over the use of images of the gunbarrel sequence, then it's obvious the editor who added the tag never read the article otherwise he/she would realize the use of the different images is appropriate for the topic and completely defendable under any sane interpretation of fair use/copyright. The only non-gunbarrel images I see is an image from the Great Train Robbery film, which is public domain as it predates 1923, and an image from the opening of Never Say Never Again which is once again acceptable and is also important for verification purposes in showing no gunbarrel was used in that film. So is there any need to keep the tag? 68.146.81.123 ( talk) 16:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Gunter, Do not insult editors in your edit summaries, please try to remain WP:CIVIL. I do not claim to own the article, and I strongly object to beging called "useless", especially when I am trying to ensure articles are properly sourced and formatted. The edit that you are trying to insert is neither sourced correctly or formatted properly. If you wish the information to be included, please find a reliable secondary source to back up any claim - see WP:RS for what constitutes such a source. You will note from that link thatblogs "are largely not acceptable". If the informaiton can be backed up by a reliable secondary source, it can go in. if no source can be found, it remains out. - SchroCat ( ^ • @) 18:46, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
When Sean Connery returned to the role of Bond for Diamonds Are Forever (1971), the gun barrel sequence filmed for Thunderball was used. As with You Only Live Twice, the sequence was rendered in black and white, but was given a bluish tint. As in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the barrel is awash with prismatic splashes of light, which this time ripple through it. Unlike On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the splashes of light are erased by the descending blood. This was the last time the sequence was rendered in black and white until Casino Royale (2006)
The last time when B&W sequence was used was "A view to kill" with Roger Moore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jFAwZYk6Zw 178.176.101.18 ( talk) 12:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Could anyone update the section for the film "Skyfall"?
-Costume -Music
greetings,
Years ago I read a contemporary review of the 1967 film (i.e. in a magazine or newspaper published in the late 60s) that mentioned that Casino Royale began with a spoof of the gunbarrel in which Peter Sellers does the walk, but instead of his gun firing, it makes the sound of a pop gun instead. I've never seen this, and I've never seen anything else to suggest this was ever actually filmed, but if someone can track down a source, it might be worth noting it. Similarly, I once read that Never Say Never Again was supposed to start with a gunbarrel-like sequence but they went with the screenfull of 007's instead. Without sourcing, neither of these, obviously, can be added to the article; I mention them here in case they ring a bell for anybody. 136.159.160.8 ( talk) 20:58, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
I’ve recently watched No Time To Die, there’s a moment in the last island base shootout when Bond shots at an enemy facing the camera, in which the tunnel resembles a gunbarrel and the scene itself is overall shot very similarly to the gunbarrel sequence. (I think it’s also shown in some of the trailers). Does it count? Sanhok ( talk) 02:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

With regard to a recent reversion, the previous edit contained way too much POV, repetition and statements of the obvious. If you read my edit, you will see that nothing has been lost and I also added the Costume section and the info on Daniel Kleinman.

Image:DALTONGUNBBAREL..JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The section about the first appearance of the gunbarrel opening is incredibly incoherent. The Dr. No credits BEGIN with the gunbarrel bit before going straight into the geometric patterns of dots. To claim the film didn't use a pre-credits sequence because of its low budget is moronic, it's a stylistic decision which could have no impact on a film's budget. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.189.136 ( talk) 00:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The Gunbarrel Sequence has been parodied scores of times. Probably hundreds of times throught international media. It seems silly to list them all. I suggest altering this section to a brief paragraph summarising the fact that the sequence has been oft-parodied and maybe listing the most notable ones in prose.

I suggest changing the title of this article to Gun Barrel Sequence. This is the name that the sequence is commonly called by / referred to by. And the addition of James Bond at the beginning of it seems unnecessary. Any thoughts? A bright cold day in april ( talk) 01:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
There is some room for improvement in this article. Whilst there is plenty of information in here and some improvements have been made since Quantum of Solace was released in the UK (although it seems as though some of this has been reverted). There is a very large trivia section at the bottom of the page, related to parodies, which is hideousley bloated. There is also vague, sketchy and misleading information in the article itself. The Costume section also contains information which would be more sensibly put in the "Evolution" section (as, indeed, some of it already is).
I would suggest removing the parody section as the first port of call (or, at least, condensing it considerably) M&m enterprises ( talk) 14:59, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
The usage is inconsistent throughout the article and a uniform style ought to be adopted. I'd suggest gun barrel. A bright cold day in april ( talk) 23:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Are there any sources for the gunbarrel sequence being at the end of the movie? I've seen a lot of editing around this but no references have been supplied. Spleep ( talk) 22:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I've found one from a website called "ReelzChannel". I'd imagine there will be plenty more once the film has been released internationally. A bright cold day in april ( talk) 18:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
The gun barrel looks dirty and has imperfections; exactly what a used gun should have. The other CG barrels were just too clean to appear real. -- IViking ( talk) 19:21, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Details are often added regarding unused gunbarrel sequences (e.g. those that are filmed but not used in the movies). I suggest a separate section - "unused sequences". I can think of at least five - Roger Moore in 1973 (used in several of his trailers), John Gavin in 1971, Pierce Brosnan in 1986 (mentioned in numerous reference works), Pierce Brosnan in 1995 (used in Goldeneye trailer), Daniel Craig in 2008 (as mentioned in the ReelzChannel interview).
I think such a section should be kept fairly brief, but it would stop irrelevant materieal being added to the main sections. Thoughts? A bright cold day in april ( talk) 12:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia's fair use rules only allow an image to be used once within an article; for that reason, since the QoS gunbarrel is used as the main image for the article, we can't have it used a second time in the list, so I have removed the second use. If another main image is used (for example, should Bond 23 use another gun barrell) then the QoS image can me moved down to the list again. 23skidoo ( talk) 18:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Apparently there were seven grooves in the gun barrel. They added the eighth one in Goldeneye.

Someone added the "improper use of copyrighted material" tag, but of course never bothered to add a rationale to the talk page. If the concern is over the use of images of the gunbarrel sequence, then it's obvious the editor who added the tag never read the article otherwise he/she would realize the use of the different images is appropriate for the topic and completely defendable under any sane interpretation of fair use/copyright. The only non-gunbarrel images I see is an image from the Great Train Robbery film, which is public domain as it predates 1923, and an image from the opening of Never Say Never Again which is once again acceptable and is also important for verification purposes in showing no gunbarrel was used in that film. So is there any need to keep the tag? 68.146.81.123 ( talk) 16:58, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

When Sean Connery returned to the role of Bond for Diamonds Are Forever (1971), the gun barrel sequence filmed for Thunderball was used. As with You Only Live Twice, the sequence was rendered in black and white, but was given a bluish tint. As in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the barrel is awash with prismatic splashes of light, which this time ripple through it. Unlike On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the splashes of light are erased by the descending blood. This was the last time the sequence was rendered in black and white until Casino Royale (2006)
The last time when B&W sequence was used was "A view to kill" with Roger Moore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jFAwZYk6Zw 178.176.101.18 ( talk) 12:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Could anyone update the section for the film "Skyfall"?
-Costume -Music
greetings,
Years ago I read a contemporary review of the 1967 film (i.e. in a magazine or newspaper published in the late 60s) that mentioned that Casino Royale began with a spoof of the gunbarrel in which Peter Sellers does the walk, but instead of his gun firing, it makes the sound of a pop gun instead. I've never seen this, and I've never seen anything else to suggest this was ever actually filmed, but if someone can track down a source, it might be worth noting it. Similarly, I once read that Never Say Never Again was supposed to start with a gunbarrel-like sequence but they went with the screenfull of 007's instead. Without sourcing, neither of these, obviously, can be added to the article; I mention them here in case they ring a bell for anybody. 136.159.160.8 ( talk) 20:58, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
I’ve recently watched No Time To Die, there’s a moment in the last island base shootout when Bond shots at an enemy facing the camera, in which the tunnel resembles a gunbarrel and the scene itself is overall shot very similarly to the gunbarrel sequence. (I think it’s also shown in some of the trailers). Does it count? Sanhok ( talk) 02:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
