WHO'S YOUR FAV BOND HENCHMEN? BOND Playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PLQHhQlj8i5dp_oymDpZRwVEgCMP9fUpks

This is one of my favorite, older Bond movies. And the "attempting re-entry" comment by Q is one of the best double-entendres in the whole franchise.

Jaws was such a big hit with test audiences, he not only survived the ending to the previous movie, but came back for this one and got his own story arc and love interest. Richard Kiel is pretty cool if you see him in interviews, btw.

It's hard to describe just how much fun the Roger Moore Bond movies were. You end up with a smile on your face from start to finish, no matter how silly they are at times. I think it's why he's many people's favourite Bond.

I love your laughter when the first Bond girl in the movie IMMEDIATELY tries to kill him! It seems like this movie was made for you, between the gadgets, the locations, the lairs and space. :) 27:32 was my favourite part of the video.

A note on the aerial cable car fight: Richard Kiel (Jaws)'s mother went to see the movie and told her son how scared she was during the fight sequence. Kiel told her, "Mom, we had rear projection and stunt doubles: I'm so afraid of heights, I don't even like being this tall." Hilarious, as is the character itself: Jaws == Wile E. Coyote Loved the Arthur C. Clarke reference! 7:34 "Does it [the centrifuge] throw him off his game, I wonder?" That'd be hilarious, if for the rest of the movie, whenever he walks, runs or drives, he's always veering slightly off to the left. 15:20 Cigarette product placement (Marlboro).

Gotta love the homage to Spielberg's Close Encounters (1977) when Bond enters the code to open the door @12:11. Spielberg is a huge Bond fan. His first experience watching Goldfinger in the cinema made a huge impact on him. Hence Spielberg's casting of Connery in _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_ and the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger as well as the grey suit Connery wore in Goldfinger was also replicated and worn by Leo DiCaprio in Spielberg's _Catch Me if You Can (2002)._ Indiana Jones was always Spielberg's version of James Bond.

I yelled "YAY!!" out loud when you named Kaws yur low key MVP. Oddjob is still my favorite henchman, but Jaws ended up being the most lovable. I'm so glad he and Dolly made it back to Earth safely.

they spared no expense on this one and it was hugely popular. The next one, For your Eyes Only comes back down to earth and is one of my favorites

Most movie reviewers on KZfaq tear this movie to shreds. I'm really glad you liked it as much as I did. Keep up the good vibes, and I can't wait till "for your eyes only"

Originally, the next James Bond movie was going to be - For your Eyes Only (1981) after the Spy Who Loved Me (1977). But after the success of Star Wars (1977) & Close Encounters (77) they decided to do a space adventure movie - Moonnraker (1979). Or so I heard.

Now this is the proper way to spend a Friday night with more James Bond reactions. Keep up the awesome work Jen.

"James Bond. You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season." Best line ever. The music in the laboratory with the cellos gives me chills every time. This is my Boxing Day movie.

This was the first Bond I saw at the Cinema so it will always hold a special place in my heart . A lot of people can't abide this movie. But I like it. Roger Moore was on top of his game after TSWLM Michael Lonsdale who played Drax was a good villian the special effects ( in camera & practical ) still hold up really well today. The skydiving intro is still jawdroppingly magnificent and of course Richard Kiel returns as JAWS. Moore had his tongue firmly planted in cheek & looks like he's having so much fun. So for the most part it's a movie you can have a bit of fun with & sometimes that's all it needs to be. As always keep up the good work Jen.

Jen, you were correct that this movie was a reaction to Star Wars popularity. There was supposed to be another Bond movie done instead of this one. Moonraker was a very popular when it can out, when I was a kid in the 70's. I took the Bond franchise took a long time to recover from such a high adventure. I love this movie.

This is the first James Bond film my parents took me to see in the theater. Of note: the Space Shuttle program was in the advanced testing stages when this film was released, but the first actual launch was still two years away.

OK so it's cheesy in parts but Moonraker has to be one of the most impressive Bond films. The John Barry score is amazing. Great special effects for the day. I was 12 when I first saw it and was blown away. Was mad on space and the shuttle. It was seen as the future of space travel back then.

That song when they see the space station is next level. Kudos to the composer

Your "Bond in spaaaaaace!" was my favorite part of the video. Your sheer joy and enthusiasm when watching movies is infectious and unequalled among KZfaq reactors.

Even though this movie has it’s silly moments, I always get chills when the girl was being chased by the dogs

I'm one of those who really enjoy this one. When I saw it in the theater, I liked it so much, I went back to the theater to watch it again the next night (with popcorn, a Coke and chocolate coated peanuts in hand). A fun night. Enjoyed the reaction. Keep 'em coming.

Awesome job again, Jennypenny. My favorite henchman so far is Odd-job. I knew you'd love the glass shop scene. The practicals in this movie are fantastic. That centrifuge was full size. Regarding Jaws, the director had a nephew who loved Jaws, but wanted him to be a good guy instead of a bad guy. So they wrote it to redeem him in the end.

Thanks for a really fun reaction to a fun Bond movie! Moonraker was a huge success. It was, at that time, the highest grossing of all the Bond movies, so it went over really well with audiences back in the late 70's. It's always a great watch. Looking forward to your reaction to "For Your Eyes Only."

1st Bond movie I saw in theaters, this one will always hold a special place for me. Awesome channel Jen, great reactions.

I met Richard Kiel JAWS at an autograph signing convention. Absolute gentleman.

Dolly should've had braces that first time she and Jaws smiled at each other. In fact, I could swear that she originally did. How could the filmmakers have missed such an incredibly perfect sight gag? This is the only time that I actually believe there may be something to the Mandela Effect. Edit: come to think of it, some product did a spoof of Jaws (with original actor Richard Kiel) in a commercial years later, and when he meets a Dolly lookalike in a convenience store where she's working behind the counter, sure enough, she has braces.

Jen's James Bond reactions: best thing on KZfaq! Soooo cute and funny! 😅🥰 Love the accents and musical imitations. Xx

Glad you loved this one! You have the perfect mindset for the entire Bond series. I am on board for the whole ride. If you enjoyed making this reaction half as much as I enjoyed watching it, then I enjoyed it twice as much as you.

Glad you loved this one Jen and awesome reactions. Most bond fans put this near the bottom of their rankings, but I absolutely love it. Brings the kid out in me, just a blast watching it.

Bernard Lee's last appearance as M. He wasn't well shooting this film and died before he could shoot scenes for the next one.

Great reaction!!!! Can remember seeing this in the theater when it first came out. Audience was cracking up laughing through most of the movie - especially the space battle scenes. This movie & "Octopu$$y" are probably my most favorite Bond movies.

The first Bond movie I ever saw as a kid, and I've been hooked ever since.

"For Your Eyes Only" is the next title. It's another really cracking good Bond film. Nobody goes to space, but there are still a lot of cool action stunt scenes, gadgets, babes, and quips. Lots of quips!

Third movie I ever watched in a theater, the first 2 being Star Wars (a.k.a. episode IV) and Superman. And this was definitely in their league for me

This was my first ever bond movie! I loved the great opening as well. Your British accent improves with every movie! Was cracking me up! The main bad guy looks like full size Peter dinklage. Again I love your attention to the subtle music cues. Nobody else does that. Much appreciated. Jaws is hands down the best bond thug. What other one has his story arc? I'm so happy that you were ok with the villain lair being filled with all sexy ladies! Still waiting for the snake story lol. I was also happy you got a nice space explosion! A++! JEN you really are the best! Made my weekend!

These are some of the best Bond reactions on YT. As a life long Bond fan, I am loving these and going to back to enjoy the previous ones...I am also looking forward to you getting to modern Bond.

I love watching these James Bond movies with you Jen! My dad who passed away in 2020 showed me all of them when I was a kid and it makes me think of him a lot. Keep up the great content. Love from England x

19:03 The cable Jaws bites was made out of licorice. 20:30 When Dolly smiles back at Jaws they edited out that she actually had braces.

19:21 - "His name's 'Jaws'. He kills people." is one of my favorite lines of all movies. lol

Great reaction Jen! I LOVE this film. It definitely divides opinion. I think it has a lot going for it! Great opening sequence. The return of Jaws and how he becomes good and falls in love lol 💖 Lovely song and amazing score. Most shocking death of a Bond girl ever! 😟 Bond never learns about that. The G-Force scene. The Venice fight scene. Cable car scene. Awesome villain and sensational locations! I love how much you're enjoying the Bond journey! Have a great weekend x

So it's 2:30am Saturday morning and the latest Bond reaction drops in from Jen. Can't resist. Jen's reactions are sooo good. Now I'm so pumped. I'll be up to 6am for sure. Totally worth it! 😍😍

Great reaction to a great movie. 😀 I was a huge fan of Jaws' redemption in this, and that he and his lady love survived. As mentioned previously, I loved seeing him as the Frankenstein's Monster knockoff in an episode of The Monkees and he was such fun in that role. Moonraker loses some points with Bond purists for being so . . . goofy in many ways. But it was just after the Star Wars phenomenon started, so Bond in Space was somewhat inevitable. The original novel has a passing resemblance to the movie: Drax uses rockets instead of space shuttles, which makes sense as the novel was written in the 50s, and the intended death of Bond underneath the rocket exhaust was pretty much taken directly from the book. Otherwise, I don't remember there being a lot of similarities between the two. In spite of its goofiness it is still one of my favorites, partly because it was the first Bond film I saw in the theater (I had seen a few others on TV) and partly because of the good redemption story for Jaws. "I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery." is one of my favorite villain lines from a Bond movie, though my top favorite is still the exchange in Goldfinger: "Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond! I expect you to die!" It's sad, but the Daniel Craig Bond films just are meh to me. Their production values are excellent, and they do have some stories for the movies that were written by Ian Fleming (Casino Royale comes to mind as a novel written by Fleming), but they were just overall . . . meh. I like Daniel Craig as an actor, but Bond was just too often . . . wooden in the scripts he had. Enjoying the journeys through the legacy of James Bond! For Your Eyes Only should be next, unless I'm forgetful.

This was my first "Bond" film in the theater and I LOVED IT! Been a fan ever since.

Man this is easily in my top 10 Bond films! I'm so happy you watched this. I've seen this movie a few times, obviously, but that scene where he's in the centrifuge chamber still gets me haha

Jen! I don't think I ever saw you out-and-out laugh so many times, three at my count. I thought it was genius how Jaws realized he wasn't the perfect specimen and ended up helping James. This is gonna be tough to follow, you know. In your recap, you didn't mention the incredible "mission-control" setup used by Drax. This movie went everywhere and had everything. Tough to follow. I enjoyed seeing you laugh. :)

Jen! This is the ULTIMATE LAIR I have been hinting about ever since you started reacting to Bond. A villain lair in space! How can that be beat. Love your enthusiasm, your choices, and your reactions! Here as always, can't wait for what's coming next! Please more wisdom Nuggets...thanks...Eric

I have a soft spot for this movie. Yeah, it's corny and goofy at times, but it owns the silliness in a way that few other Bond films can and remains entertaining throughout.

Moonraker is my guilty pleasure when I have a few beers on me, Roger Moore IS unbelievably suave and slick in this movie. I was 10 years old seeing this in the theatre

One of my favorite Roger Moore Bond movies. Still some good ones to come, "For Your Eyes Only", "Octopussy", " A View To A Kill", etc.. Enjoyed this reaction as always.

Did anyone else have a Muppet Show flashbacks when Jen screamed, "BOOOOOOOOND IN SPAAAAAAAAACE!!!!"

Fun fact the actor that played JAWS was once a strongman in a circus. My mother saw him once, before he was an actor. So this beginning was fitting.

I'm over the moon to be watching this with sweet Jen. 😁 It's like a Birthday present a day early. # Bondy Birthday Party

Yeah, I knew you would go crazy for the big finale in space. I love the idea of Bond in space too, so Moonraker is one of my favorites even though some fans view it as too over-the-top and silly in tone. It's so satisfying after You Only Live Twice teases the idea.

"i believe hes attempting re-entry sir" is the GREATEST double entendre in cinematic history

I love that Jaws found a lady and became a good guy with a happy ending :D

How educational! I never even heard of Arthur C. Clarke's "We'll Never Conquer Space" essay until you mentioned it around 4:37 -- thank you! Compared to the earliest movies, this is super-cartoonish -- but it's about space (which, yes, we can never conquer), so I endlessly (perhaps even infinitely?) forgive it. I have to respect Hugo Drax -- his whole "Let's remake the world in my image" plot was WAY more comprehensive than Stromberg's in The Spy Who Loved Me. There's a musical joke -- the electronic combination to the poison gas lab sounds like the theme to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Many fans are not fond of the theme song, it's not "Bondian" enough -- but I think it works as a love song all by itself. Thanks, Jennypenny!

Hi, Jen. When this was produced CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND was trending. Remember when Bond gained entry to the laboratory? The touch tone keypad chimed out the 5 note alien response from that film. After the credits open the main body of the film, Bond mentioned in London that he should start in California. The pre credit pa

First Bond movie I ever saw in the theaters. Was not supposed to be next, but they wanted to capitalize on the Star Wars hype at the time, so jumped it up the rotation of Bond movies. I was 9 and didn't get why my dad laughed so hard at, "I think he's attempting re-entry".

I love your 007 reactions, Jen!“Moonraker” is the third and final theme song sang by Shirley Bassey, along with “Goldfinger” and “Diamonds Are Forever”.

So fun! It's always fun to watch James Bond with Jennypenny! 😊 Up next is one of my favorites; For Your Eyes Only with a great opening song performed by Sheena Easton. Looking forward to it!

Great review as always. MOONRAKER gets some hate from die-hard Bond fans, but it is surely a terrific, epic adventure. It is the last Bond movie to feature Bernard Lee (M), as he would pass away in 1980. I had the pleasure of meeting actress Lois Chiles (Dr. Goodhead) many years ago--and she was lovely in person! Michael Lonsdale (Drax) was a popular and talented French actor who made this villain so very memorable. Next up, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981)--a very different Bond movie in tone.

Moonraker is extremely entertaining and I love Jaws' redemption arc. He is my favourite henchman in all the 007 movies.

In case there was no mention of it, the little jingle Bond uses to get into the lab in Venice is the musical "exchange" from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS . . .

This has so much good one liners in it! ❤ i love Rodger moore as bond

This is one of my favorite Bond movies! And then there was the bonus that the first time I saw it, I was with a lady who at the time...was the love of my life. Ah...teenage romance!

*Shirley Bassey* is the vocalist to do THREE Bond songs: Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker. 🎤

This is the first Bond I ever saw. It was at a drive-in theater on a double feature with the original Star Wars. So, while a lot of people say this is one of the worst, it’s my favorite. Can’t help it. I love it!

Love reliving these films again... for the first time...! And the Arthur C. Clark quote was amazing...

I remember Lois Chiles said that she thought her character's name, "Goodhead," meant that she was smart. That's kind of adorable.

The boat is still my favorite scene in the movie. Specifically the torpedo. But the lab scene has grown on me over the years

no better way to spend a Friday evening than watching Jen geek out with Bond in space!

Not gonna lie, *Sir Roger Moore* (R.I.P.) is my all-time favourite *James Bond,* and _'Moonraker'_ is my all-time favourite *Bond* movie! 🥰❤️ I'm ashamed to confess that I've been away from KZfaq for a while, so I've missed all your other *Bond* reactions… I, therefore, must of course go find them all (or a playlist, if you've created one)… Still, I really don't mind _'Moonraker'_ being the first reaction I see! 😏😄 Sending love, as always, from the UK 🙏🏻🥰❤️ *P.S. -* Just to blow your mind, those of us who grew up watching this, way back when it was first released, remember Dolly (Jaws’ girlfriend) having braces; his metal teeth & the metal on _her_ teeth was why they were attracted to each other! For years the production company tried to tell us it was a *Mandela Effect* & the she never had braces. But after the actress herself publicly said that, yes, she did have braces, that fact was quietly added to the movie’s IMDb Trivia page, and the makers have been silent on the subject since. 🤯🤯🤯

I did not expect you to enjoy this movie as much as you did. The film is considered too silly by fans compared to the previous 10 films but your enthusiasm is what kept me watching. I'm glad this film checked all of your boxes. I hope you enjoy the next one, For Your Eyes Only. It's more serious and based on two of Ian Fleming's short stories For Your Eyes Only and Risico.

Hi Jen ❤️ your Bond reactions. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️

One thing about Bonds (especially this one) is how I think about what enormous fun the model and set builders must have had making it.

of all the Bond films made and I have loved, three really stand out for me: Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only (the next movie in the series), and Golden Eye; Pierce Brosnan's first time as Bond.

A reporter once asked Sir Roger if he did his own stunts in the Bond movies. He smiled and said "of course I do, I also do my own lying."

Space content was all the rage in the 70s and 80s, and I adored this movie! So glad you loved it too; it holds up still. :D

Moonraker is my personal favourite Bond film. It's just fantastic entertainment from start to finish, plus the set design and score are probably the best in the series. Holly Goodhead is the most capable Bond girl of the vintage era, and it has Jaws too. The complete package!

"Where's Drax?!" "Oh, he just needed some space"

Another fantastic reaction Jennypenny! My favorite scene was the cable car fight, there was a lot of good locations in this movie. A more serious film next with For Your Eyes Only . This was the last 70’s bond movie as For your eyes only is in 1981. Shoutout to Bernard Lee who played M in the first 11 movies. He passed away after making this one.

The pre-title sequence to this one is spectacular. Apparently the 2 stunt men had to do over 100 sky dives each to get all the footage they needed!

Moonraker was one I really loved as a kid for the space action and Jaws turning good. Yet again though he had hardly any gadgets to work with, but they got their money's worth out of the wristwatch launcher thing

"I don't want to see it smashed... Smash it all!!!" 😆 Never change Jen. No one can resist the set-up of a fight among priceless collectibles. There is something very satisfying about watching it all get demolished 😅

"...And very evil in shape." I lost it 💀😂

Great reaction as always. And I love this one, it was the first Bond movie I ever saw. Cheesy AF, so what? ”I think he’s attempting re-entry, sir!” 😂😂

My favorite reaction comment. Monitoring Operator: "Its over 200 meters in diameter..." Jen: "and very EVIL in shape." LOL!!🤣

While this May Or May Not Be considered one of the better Bond movies, I think We can All agree on one thing...and that is: "Everything is Better with Jen!"🤩Thanks for another Fun-&-Funny Reaction. . .

I so love your reactions to the scenes! I had a lot of laughs! Thank you so much!!

Bond in Space!!! The producers had to catch the sci-fi craze that was going on at the time. It's a fun romp of a movie. I can't deny it.

The shots of the space shuttle launches in this movie were really well done by the special effects department as this was released two yeasrs before the first real shuttle launch

On one hand, Moonraker very much feels like a retread of the villain's plot from The Spy Who Loved Me. On the other hand, it seems only appropriate for Jaws to reprise his role as one of the best henchmen of all time!

Considering the movie was made before the first shuttle launch, the shuttle launch special fx was pretty well done for the time.

I love your Bond reactions. You get way more animated and excited with the Bond movies than you do with others. It's fun to be here for these.

“I think he’s attempting re-entry Sir!” < the best one liner in the franchise.

Moonraker is one of my favourite bond films, its a very enjoyable and fun bond film with good action scenes.

I grew up with Roger Moore as Bond. But i think Pierce Brosnan is my favourite. Love your reactions to the films. May I suggest Cannonball Run 1981, has Roger Moore playing a character who thinks he’s James Bond. Also Cannonball Run 2 has Jaws in it.

My 3rd favourite Bond movie. Tremendous fun, and perhaps the highest number of memorable scenes and moments from any of them.

I appreciate the Arthur C. Clarke reference. I began reading his work while in seventh grade with "Against The Fall Of Night."

This was my Mum’s first Bond film, and still her favourite. She loves the fun camp Bond over the serious Bond. I can’t follow her, I am more of Dalton Brosnan and Craig kinda guy, but this film is an absolute spectacle. And some of the best Bond music ever composed for the series, the track Flight into Space is seriously underrated and a beautiful piece to accompany them going into space. One curious interesting note is that Bond doesn’t carry his PPK pistol in this film, and apart from his wrist dart gun and the double barrelled shotgun, he doesn’t fire a single shot in this movie. Same thing happened curiously in Goldfinger, his PPK was absent in that too, he had to commandeer other firearms.
