This James Bond spoof action television commercial (tvc) was made and first released between the James Bond films 'The World is Not Enough' (1999) and 'Die Another Day' (2002). This tvc's major inspiration was 'GoldenEye' (1995). All three of these movies starred Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.
This television commercial was made in thirty second and one minute versions.
This 7 Up James Bond themed television commercial is for the most part a parody of the tank chase sequence from 'GoldenEye' (1995).
John Frankenheimer, the director of this television commercial, famously said that it cost three times more than his first feature film, which was 'The Young Stranger' (1957).
Director John Frankenheimer between the years 1955 and 1956 directed twenty-six episodes of the American television series "Climax!". It was this TV show that had made the first ever James Bond feature film, which was the 52 minute black-and-white television episode 'Casino Royale' (1954), which was directed by William H. Brown Jr.
