  • The gun barrel sequence is a signature device featured in nearly every James Bond film. Shot from the point of view of a presumed assassin, it features James Bond walking, turning, and then shooting directly at camera, causing blood to run down the screen. The visuals are usually accompanied by the "James Bond Theme", written by Monty Norman. Originally designed by Maurice Binder, the sequence has featured in every James Bond film produced by Eon Productions. While it has retained the same basic elements, it has noticeably evolved throughout the series. It is one of the most immediately recognizable elements of the franchise and is featured heavily in marketing material for the films and their spin-offs. The British media historian James Chapman suggests that the sequence is a significant part of the James Bond mythos because it "foregrounds the motif of looking, which is central to the spy genre".

  • La séquence d'ouverture des films de James Bond (en anglais Gun barrel sequence [ɡʌn ˈbæɹəl ˈsiː.kwəns]) est le dispositif signature qui ouvre la grande majorité des films de la franchise cinématographique James Bond. Ce pré-générique représente une cible dans laquelle le personnage de James Bond marche de profil jusqu'au centre de celle-ci avant de se tourner vers le propriétaire du revolver, tirer à travers la spirale du canon de l'arme qui évoque le diaphragme du cinéma muet et voir le sang de l'interlocuteur remplir l'écran. La séquence est créée par Maurice Binder pour l'ouverture des titres du premier Bond, James Bond 007 contre Dr No, en 1962. Au fil des films, la séquence évolue, en bénéficiant du progrès des technologies, notamment informatiques. Elle est l'un des éléments les plus immédiatement reconnaissables de la franchise. (fr)
