One of the Bond series' more daring stunts can be seen in Live And Let Die, where Roger Moore's Bond finds himself trapped in a farm surrounded by hungry crocodiles, crocodiles he's forced to use as stepping stones in order to escape. You'd think the main focus during shooting, then, would be on the stuntmen not dying, but the filmmakers still found the opportunity to sneak in a reference to a true James Bond legend. As Julius Harris's Tee Hee taunts Bond by feeding the animals, he points to one particular croc and remarks, "That's Old Albert". This was the name given to the creature on the set before they decided to include it in the film - it's named after longtime Bond producer Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli, one of the masterminds behind the film series.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
