A View To A Kill

Did 007 just invent snowboarding?

Do we really need the Beach Boys?

A boat shaped like an iceberg. Okay.

Ah, Duran Duran. One of my favorites. I remember watching the video on Friday Night Videos. Those were the good old days.

It's not only a great Bond theme it's a great song as well. It's right up there with "Live and Let Die" and "Nobody Does It Better."

Did Q just invent K-9?

It's nice that Moneypenny got a day ou in Lois Maxwell's last appearance.

Detective Eggplant? Only in France.

Bollinger '75; that was a good year. Not for me though.

Killer butterflies; what will they think of next?

Going down, Mr. Bond?

I knew that front wheel drive was good for something.

It wasn't as exciting as the chase in Ronin but what is?

Bond sure has a lot of baggage.

Did Q just invent psychic paper?

It appears the 007 has found Walter Bishop's lab.

Microchips are good with microsalsa.

Who is weirder: Christopher Walken or Grace Jones? Answers on apostcard to the usual address.

Can't Bond put anything back where it belongs?

It's a steeplechase!

Project: Main Strike certainly is no Operation: Grand Slam.

We're in a blimp!

If you're looking for someone on steroids then San Francisco is the right place. Just saying.

Welcome... to the Rock. Not really. I just had to get that one in.

James Bond hot tub party!

Kitty!

Isn't Stacy a bit too attractive for a geologist?

Bond not only eats quiche but he bakes it as well. That pretty much sums up the Roger Moore era.

But, he can also repair phone wiring. So he's got that going for him.

Rhetorical question: Do you think that Stacy's robe is short enough? Me neither.

Fire truck chase!

Your other left!

Fiero!

"Do you know what I'm sitting on?" Short Round?

It's a bomb in a box.

Zorin didn't spring for an electric winch. Seriously?!

If you're going to San Francisco be sure to keep an axe in you blimp.

And thus ends the Roger Moore era. It ended a lot better than it started. It's not that I don't like him, it's just that the scripts could have been a bit better. They tended to run more towards comedy. There is nothing wrong with that in moderation.

I think that in a way Roger Moore was the only person to follow Sean Connery. They are two different people with completely different takes on the role. It was the Seventies and the World was changing and the World needed a new James Bond to reflect that.
James Bond will return.
