He gained recognition for his film editing techniques when he utilized quick cutting, allowing camera swings during action and inserts interleaving other elements while working as editor on the first three Bonds.

Hunt then acted as second unit or action unit director until his directorial debut, the sixth James Bond film, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. He also worked with Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli on the 1963 Bob Hope film “Call Me Bwana”, and with Saltzman and a few other Bond veterans on the non-EON thriller “The IPCRESS File”. “Call Me Bwana” is the only film produced by the James Bond production company Eon Productions that is not a Bond film. Hunt also directed some episodes of the 1971 British television series, “The Persuaders!”, which starred future James Bond Roger Moore, and Tony Curtis.
