Lee shines in whatever he does. And he did do some really bad films.

It would be nice a modern take of Scaramanga.

Overall it’s pretty good despite some sour parts. A worthy film.

Yes totally convincing, showing U that Dracula can evolve to a new level'/!!!

@@kbrich-nn8od Well, if Dracula just HAD to use a gun, at least he picked a doozy.

One of those nieces is a badd ass in the movie Kung Fu Hustle :)

***** and he played Dracula, what a career!

Though I believe he said his best film was The Wickerman.

of course, he is, was, the only actor old enough

He was also a REAL spy

Step cousin actually but it's still an interesting bit of trivia.

such as when car chase moves from city to open road. 😊

They really did this a lot in the Moore and even Dalton era. I especially loved how they used different versions of the themes from a view to a kill and the living daylights for the movies.

Marc Lawrence also appears as big gangster in holodeck story from "Star Trek: DS9" "Badda-bing, badda-bang". In the same show Dr. Bashir plays James Bond-inspired secret agent ("Our Man Bashir"). And author of these holodeck stories is name Felix (probably nod to Felix Leiter).

The previous film was Live And Let Die, not Diamonds Are Forever, which Marc Lawrence was in.

Despite some disagreeable parts, I feel the movie is really good overall. There’s something magical about the 1970s Roger Moore mixed with silly campiness. Thumbs up.

Hmm just wondering how I would of reacted if I saw this in movie player

Scaramanga maybe too meticulous and detailed with his Draculaish setting that he painstakingly designed a mannequin of his next victim plus a real weapon of his choice! and that might explains why the mannequin had a real Bond gun with real ammo!

The only problem with this scene is that Scaramanga remains in that mannequin room since the begining of the duel, and we see Bond coming across the mannequin later in a very different place and floor, and then Bond goes climbing and loses his gun down (where Scaramanga is), and suddenly Bond disguised as the mannequin is back in the room where the mannequin was supposed to be, along with Scaramanga 😂

the mannequin didn;t have a real gun. Bond retrieved his gun from the floor and then took the place of the mannequin.

I think Bond retrieved the PPK that he had.Atleast the Bond Book I own has a concept drawing that explains it that way.

You can’t expect logic. These movies are campy silly comedy like films. I prefer these style of James Bond movies over the modern serious ones.

Several?

Thanks a lot man! Quite the compliment!

@@DutchBondFan compliment is entirely deserved Jeroen! Love watching your reviews

​@@DutchBondFanWhere can I find that 'spy who loved me' guitar solo at the end of this video ? It's really nice

Whoever did it should be shot. But it's one of the finest stunts in any Bond film and was done first time.

@@anonb4632 Oh yeah not punishable by death though but they seriously couldn't have put a drumroll there instad or something.

@@anonb4632 It was done by John Barry himself

I always enjoyed it too! Cant say its my favorite. But its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I have fun with it!

Depends.I like the music in the pre title of Octupussy.So just say, they should have no UNNECASSARY music.

Thanks a lot man! Glad you enjoy them!

Definitely one of my favourite locations, although I've never been there. (Visited Hong Kong and Macau though.)

NDHFilms Thats interesting, but I doubt its true bc of the legal ramifications. Any one of those drivers couldve claimed they were traumatized or injured and sued for millions

I laughed out loud at that one... top notch! OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker Q

I just hate that the producers resort back to square screen format and not shot LALD and TMWTGG in Panavision (wide-screen) just as the producers started to have a Panavision (wide-screen) in Thunderball down to DAF... I hypothesized that the producers economized or may be they do it as what Sean had in DN, FRWL and Goldfinger all shot in standard square format.. luckily ,just as I had expected ,TSWLM was shot in Panavision down to View to a kill. and speaking of VTAK ..when the end credits if SWLM showed a "James Bond will return on From A View To A Kill" it has the words From... but when that film was released it had only the title without FROM. ...and also From a view to a kill was not immediately made after SWLM because it was followed by Moonraker,FYEO, and Octupussy

+Numinous20111 No problem, fans like you keep me going!

@@DutchBondFan personally, I like the theme song because it's one the few bond themes whose lyrics is connected to the plot. One other is You Know My Name.

Even when Moore played in The Saint, he was not good at portraying a cold blooded killer. Yet his Saint character was more serious and as much as I like Moore as Bond, I would have loved him to play the role more similarily to the way he played The Saint, which was undeniably brilliant.

Ah yes, a well missed typical DutchBondFan joke. Well done! 😂

Glad you found and enjoy em Patrick!

Thanks a lot!

+Caldera Records Haha thanks! When watching my own videos i'm always somewhat bothered by my accent personally, I think it's one of the things going against me, compared to the other Bond reviewers out there. But it's good to see my audience thinks otherwise! I was aware of John Barry later admitting he wasn't fan of the score, and also disliking the slide whistle sound effect over the stunt. But I just had to point it out. Thanks for watching, super happy to see you enjoy and appreciate the work! :)

Henri DeadMort His accent does NOT sound like he's wearing braces!

Thanks a lot man!

ilove. the. picture. and. it was like people lovely. S o that every body can watching. too thing that. I would like tosee is very hard to watching Ford every body can see it too

+Gary Robinson Awesome man! Glad you enjoyed so much Gary, good to see you around again, thanks for the compliments!

Same here, the company that did the stunt had a whole video wall showing where the stunt originated and the car itself had the driver in the center of the car so the weight distribution would be even on both sides when it went airborne

+El Vedetto Thanks! Actually my friends and I use the expression in friends sometimes, and I only later found out it came from him! - Good spot! Glad you enjoyed!

+Kerry Creech Thanks bro!

It's bold and brash, without trying to rip off Shirley Bassey..

Thanks a lot man! That keeps me going! Very appreciated and kind!

@@DutchBondFan I have seen every Bond and Bond like movie out there. I remember going as a kid seeing my first which was YOLT premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater July 1967. I was hooked. LOL

@@Engineer_Eric_59 Ah wow, amazing. Wish I was alive to see that at the time, must have been quite the expierence!

@@DutchBondFan It was sir.. I remember it vividly. Back then they painted an image of JB on the side of the theater holding his space helmet wearing his tux. Big as life. I was only 7 but I will never forget the excitement of being there and seeing YOLT

+FR84 Thanks, me too! ;)

Yep, it's supposed to be liquid helium or something similar. Good luck with maintaining absolute zero as well, its thought to be fundamentally impossible. Just one of the many obvious and lazy mistakes is this embarrassing addition to the series. Only good thing about this film is Lee and the exotic locations.

@@listerofsmeg884 It is liquid Nitrogen, which served to cool the whole energy system, and it is the same thing that froze Boris in Goldeneye

Good to hear you like it! Yeah the main reason is never got changed is because they want to keep everything original. I'm all for that too, although changing that would be an exceptation that I wouldn't mind.

+DutchBondFan They did change some of the digital grading in a few films though. For Your Eyes Only was fixed during the scene in which Bond runs after Locke in the car. Ending with him pushing the car off the cliff. It was daylight very quickly in the original cut. In recent years though they made the transition to daylight much more gradual.

I see, I did know about the quick change to daylight, but never knew they fixed it in FYEO, it may be something to remember and point out for Recapping Episode #12!

+Slim Space I will :) Thanks!

How about Chu Me without a bikini?

How about Brit Ekland in a baby blue mighty! WOW!!!!

@@ALSmith-zz4yy I'm not going to chew you with or without a bikini.

I've never understood why people consider it a weak Bond film. You have freaking Christopher Lee as the main villain, Britt Ekland as your bond girl, tons of exotic locations, excellent martial arts action, excellent car chases and stunts as well as a flying AMC matador. Even a little bit of comic relief with the karate school scene or even the vacationing Sheriff who reappears from Live and Let Die. It's a great Bond film and one where Roger Moore really came into his own.

You can make an argument that the Bond girls in this film were the best of all time: Maud Adams and Britt Ekland were both completely stunning, but the minor female characters were sizzling hot too. (That girl skinny dipping in the pool? Wow!!) In these 'woke' times it just wouldn't be allowed to film stuff like this. Back in the 1970s people seemed to accept that men were men and women were women - sexual energy between them was celebrated rather than denied. Now it's probably only a matter of time before we get a Bond 'girl' who has a beard and balls but who identifies as a 19-year old beauty queen...

+Павел Кулик Haha doesn't suprise me! Bond teaming up with your country! - I'm looking forward to it too!

She was Rogers fave Bond girl . The river scenes are quite a tourist attraction also.

So did most everyone else. It was part of the reason she came back for Octopussy and did a run on in A View To A Kill. Making her the only Bond girl to appear three times.

I think looking back at that part, that was another attempt to try and get a joke out of the fact that 'who will he bang' is in the lyrics, and by the time I was doing the early episodes, me talking about 'banging' was almost like a signature thing. (toned that down much more in recent episodes) Some jokes defenitely work better than others though :P

"She wants it so bad you couldn't dry her out with a hair dryer"... LOL:) Good joke but a little off-color... Still, made me laugh. Later! OL J R :)
