I like it too but not my favourite. Some great bits in it. The scenes with the zepplins are great. Love the shots of San Francisco bay. But Moore looks like a 007 that is ready for retirement or promotion to M status.
You should watch From A View to a Mill ..... It will have you cracking up altogether at numerous bits
sure is, he didnt even flinch when Hawkins told him that his girlfriend has one that is as big as a house!
Frustrating how they all are filling their own pockets with under the table deals and doing what they want while imposing rules on the masses and running the country into the ground for their own agenda. I'm not just talking about the USA. It seems power really does corrupt.
love it. I had a few kowalski moments too but never thought of it like that till I read your comment, LOL. This needs a new thread
Oh I don't know. The newer films I dont know that well but from the older ones when you think what some of them did, Odd Job killing women with gold paint or his bowler, Jaws was evil in spy but was comedic too (did scare the life out of me as a young kid), what about Baron Samedi he must have been truly evil but didnt do much apart from the funny dance and laugh. I think Locke oozed evil with those eyes. Drax was evil for what he did to poor Corrine. Kid and Wint were evil but funny too. Zorin killing all his own men with the machine gun. What about Del Torro's character in Licence to kill, a real nasty guy. Oh I dont know. As Bond said couldn't be Stromberg as he had a good choice in champagne. There is just too many but Locke is def up there for me. Who do you think?
Exactly. Probably acceptable to say things like that shortly after the end of January this year.
I was awe struck when I watched Moonraker probably about 1981 as a 6 or 7 year old with my cousins and I agree with you calling it a wild ride. I nearly felt like I was there with Bond in some of it. Amazing times. Still love the film today, although alot of it must be nostalgia and the music score was and still is amazing also.
but then when do you watch Moonraker?
your right, its like Moonraker sucked up so much budget that they only had enough left to make a TV movie and then put it in the cinema anyway. Still has some good bits in it but it is a slow burner
This post was deleted because Bibi was too young
I think Cubby Brocolli was giving the middle finger to Kevin McClory by dumping Blofeld down the stack at the start of the film. Wasnt credited as Blofeld but we all knew who he was meant to be. Bet McClory was fuming.
think he wanted the fun of dragging them about for a time as blood spilling in at the start would attract the sharks too soon and it would all be finished quickly
I would rather have Octopussy. A whole lot of gimmicks in it and iIt was very slapstick with some really funny bits in it (not sure if it was intentional or not), like fannings reaction when Bond starts bidding on the egg. Bond doing a tarzan cry was cingy but funny in a stupid way. I thought Kamal, Orlov, the twins and Gobinda were great villains. Im my opinion FYEO was too serious and few gimmicks. The helicopter intro and the 2 CV chase was good and loved the S2 Lotus cars. Locke was the best villain out of the film but Christatos in IMO was a bit lame. Watched it with my son the other day and he lost interest after the 2 cv chase when it got really slow. I think FYEO and A view to a Kill are probably the weekest of Moores, althpough they are still reasonably good films
Moore was the Bond when I was young. I was about 6 or 7 when I seen the spy who loved me, moonraker and live and let die when ITV were running them every weekend in 1981. They blew my mind especially Moonraker. Jaws and Samedi scared the hell out of me when I was watching them. Shortly after this I found Diamonds are Forever and kept waiting for James Bond (Moore) to show up. Then there was the fight scene with Peter Franks and Tiffany starts shouting "you've just killed James Bond", I was properly confused. Seen Octopussy in the cinema in 1983 it was amazing. I now love the Connery and Moore films. I still love Never Say Never again. Fatima Blush was something else ......
wow, those figures are terrible, LOL
dropping the big lump of stone on his own foot and it making that big crunching sound in the previous film was also cartoonish
turning Kananga into a giant helium balloon and then making him explode all over the place was pretty dark.
I heard that too, I bet she would have been really good.
I think Hip was crazy. He pulled a gun on Bond the whole way across the bay on the boat before Bond jumped onto the ship wreck. And then said I had to get you away. Could have told him long before. Hip was a liability. I think he was more interested in hanging out with the ladies in the Bottoms Up club.
