Or as Roger Moore likes to call it; "Fishfinger" for it's resemblance to Goldfinger. That is only partially correct. In a way it's a mashup of stuff that worked in the Sixties. By the way, do fish have fingers?
TSWLM works because the writers finally found the right tone. Moore is no Sean Connery but there is nothing wrong with that. I'm a honorary Sean Connery.
One of our subs is missing. By "ours" I mean the British Royal Navy. That's okay because one of theirs is missing as well. By "theirs" I mean the Commies.
"I'll put our best man on it." If you can't find him send 007. At least that's the subtext I heard.
A Seiko digital watch with a built in Avery label maker? Sounds like the ideal Christmas gift for your favorite anal retentive geek.
Best precredit sequence ever?
Music by the recently departed Marvin Hamlisch. Let's say that it's very 1970s and leave it at that. Seriously, he did a good job. I like the way that he incorporated the twangy guitar sound into the film at key points.
A Union flag parachute always makes me smile.
May I take a moment to say that I love Carly Simon?
If 007 is Commander Bond then Q must be Major Exposition.
That's a long dinner table. I bet that it's even longer than the SPECTRE conference table.
This is the first of the films with Roger Moore that actually looks like a Bond film. This is due to Production Designer Ken Adam who made the iconic sets during the Sean Connery era. I wish that he had made the sets for The Man with the Golden Gun.
I think you're going to need a bigger lair.
See what happens when you start congratulating yourselves before the check clears?
It's always a buzz kill when a woman brings up the late wife.
Mosh!
Is this Richard Kiel's audition reel for the part of Marvin the telephone repairman on Alice?
It could have been worse. They could have tried to make their escape in a Reliant Robin.
At least it wasn't one of Q's explosive cigarettes.
I always thought "M" was a randomly selected initial, I had no idea it stood for "Miles."
Another train, another fight on a train. Ah, the Lotus Esprit. It's no Aston Martin but then again Aston Martin wasn't exactly Aston Martin in the 70s.
Sidecar=evil.
Serpentine!
Roads?! Where we're going we don't need roads!
It's all gone a bit Thunderball.
It's the explosive hockey puck from Mighty Ducks 4: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Puck 'Em.
And the penny drops.
Okay, now one of our subs is missing.
Yes, that is Shane Rimmer playing the part of Commander Carter. You may remember him from Doctor Who "The Gunfighters."
Know how I know that it's an evil lair? It has linear induction vehicles. Linear induction vehicles are the new monorail.
It's all gone a bit You Only Live Twice.
Come one guys! They're not that hard to miss, they're wearing orange jumpsuits.
It's the world's most dangerous game of Operation.
Boy, I thought that I typed slowly. At least I use more than two fingers.
"I have to get her off." Better use more than two fingers.
Sometimes you bite the shark and sometimes the shark bites you.
James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only.
Eventually.
