For Your Eyes Only: A Fan Edit (Released)
Time

Just watched your edit Echo3 , and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it.

The film really benefited from the removal of the really silly lighter parts, and the use of different music.
It made it a more serious Bond movie IMHO, and less ‘cringy’. Not having the somewhat ‘creepy’ scene with Lynn Holly Johnson coming on to Roger Moore in there was also a benefit, that scene always felt a bit weird given the ages.

I am curious, the scene with Bond at the grave of Tracey in the original opening, that was cut out, I am assuming you cut that out because of the whole helicopter, fake Telly Savalas, attempt at humour scene that came after it. I quite liked the grave side scene for its links to the past, and to Flemings Bond, but can see the issue with what came after it. Was that the reason for cutting that part out, or did you have another reason in mind.

Once again, really good edit, which I enjoyed greatly.
Good word!
