LIVE AND LET DIE (1973)
In Roger Moore's first Bond film, 007 is assigned to America and is pitted against Mr. Big, a heroin smuggler and head of a voodoo cult. Bond tries to find a link with him and a man named Kananga, and seduces Kananga's Miss Solitaire, whose tarot cards warn Kananga of Bond's coming. There is a motorboat chase scene that lasts about fifteen minutes. It seems like half the time Bond is running away from Kananga's men. All in all, a good movie.
THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974)
Bond believes that a three-nippled hit man named Scaramanga wants to kill him. Scaramanga uses a golden gun and golden bullets, and charges a million dollars a hit. Bond goes after Scaramanga without even knowing what he looks like and discovers that Scaramnga is making a solar weopon.
Anyway, this movie barely made it on the Best list, but it was all right. The return of the redneck sheriff J.W. Pepper was amusing.
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977)
This one is cool. Definately the best of the best of Roger Moore. The opening sequence rules, and the movie is much slicker than the last two. Anyway. the British discover that someone created a way to track submarines, and is selling the technology. An international crisis breaks when a Royal Navy Polaris submarine equipped with sixteen nuclear warheads disappears while on patrol. The British send James Bond to secure the tracking device and locate the missing vessel before its
missiles are launched at the West. Watch this one.
OCTOPUSSY (1983)
This one's good too. Some people think that Octopussy is the best of Moore's 007 flicks. Only Roger Moore would do a movie like this. You never saw Connert or Dalton or even Pierce Brosnan dressed as a clown! But the chase sequences are good. But this should have been Moore's lasr, but unfortunately, it wasn't.
