A VIEW TO A KILL (1985) - Roger Moore: James Bond Revisited (Tanya Roberts R.I.P)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Welcome back to another installment of James Bond Revisited. Sadly, our time with Roger Moore is coming to an end in this, his last go-round as 007, A VIEW TO A KILL. Much maligned by fans and critics (even if it developed something of a cult following in recent years), this 1985 release proved to be Moore's swan song in the role, with him being pretty open in his biography ("My Word is My Bond") about how he felt he was now too old for the part.
The film, which was an attempt to recapture the magic of GOLDFINGER, albeit with microchips as opposed to gold, stars Christopher Walken as Max Zorin, a genetically engineered madman with ties to the KGB. Disco diva Grace Jones co-stars as his henchwoman May Day, while the late Tanya Roberts is Moore's leading lady, Stacy Sutton. The score, by John Barry, is top-shelf and features one of the best 007 theme songs, "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran! Check out our run-down of this controversial but still enjoyable outing.

#AViewToAKill #JamesBondRevisited #NoTimeToDie
I have to be honest, I love this film! It's absolutely bonkers! But it's so entertaining! Plus you can play a great drinking game out of this film. Drink every time his double appears on screen - wasted after the first 10 minutes - Great video btw mate!
Thanks!
For a time, it was also my favorite. Theme song still kicks ass and the Barry score is among his best of the Bond series. I'll try that drinking game and see I'd I can make it to 15 minutes
It's the only one I saw in the theaters. I was a kid, and my friend and I mostly used it as a way to get in the theater so we can sneak in and see the rated R Rambo First Blood part 2. I think this movie was rated PG, which is crazy when you look at that scene where he's mowing down people with that submachine gun.
@@JoBloOriginals Why did you not review Octopussy after your never say never review?
@@michaelhawkins7389 Octopussy was reviewed before Never Say Never Again
11 year old me LOVED this movie in '85, and I still do today. No one shall sway me.
Sway! Sway!
Those hand drawn posters were just so beautiful. Wish they'd bring them back.
RIP, Tanya Roberts.
Didn't realise until I watched this just now. RIP.
@@JT-ko2ib i was unaware. this is sad. she was a hottie.
She was a knockout!
Devastating. Truly a tragedy
Those were not X-ray glasses. They were adjustable polarized sunglasses and they worked just like the polarizing filter used by photographers to eliminate reflections off glass or water. Ironically they were probably the most realistic gadgets used in any of the Bond movies.
Still my favorite Bond film! Saw it in the theater and won a copy of the soundtrack on vinyl.
There were bad ones, especially in the Roger Moore era. Trust me. Between a bad Connery 007 flick and a bad Moore 007 flick, a bad Connery flick is way better than a bad Moore flick.
I love this James Bond retrospective series.
Agreed. They do a good job of talking about the film and giving BTS info without being boring or bland. Looking forward to Living Daylights, which I feel is an underrated Bond film
Same here
Living Daylights is my absolute favorite and Dalton is my favorite too. John Barry's best score too
"Grace Jones gets a 10 on 10"
You're _goddamn right._
She is awesome
Sorry, but Jenny Flex gets 8675309 out of 10 😛
🤣
It really does have the best theme song and score in the entire Bond series. The music when James is carrying Stacey down the ladder to escape the burning city hall is majestic.
'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon absolutely destroys this song by Duran Duran.
Yes, the music perfectly captures the heroism of the scene. It's kind of a unique scene in the entire series.
i love everything thats bad about these movies, roger moore is bond to me.
Roger Moore is OK if your looking for a more jokey, self deprecating Bond, He's terrible compared to Connery, Dalton and Brosnan....Moore kinda got screwed with the worst Bond movies chasing trends like their Star Wars cash-in
@@lutherheggs451 thats why i enjoyed his movies, the jokey humour, not being too serious is what i loved, also i was old enough to see most of these when i was young in the cinema and they were great fun, i also loved star wars, when i think of bond i think of the gadgets, jaws the submarine cars, all the other bond movies were way too serious for me, each to there own i suppose, but if you like the serious bond then i can see your point.
A View to the Kill was my first Bond movie I ever saw in theatre. Also we loved Duran Duran, so it forever has a special place in my heart
I've always loved this movie - even if Rog is a little long in the tooth. Hate that stupid robot though.
Fun fact: The scene when Bond and Tanya steal the fire truck? That was actually Roger Moore himself driving that thing. The stuntman that was supposed to do the driving was unable to do so in the end. Not wanting to hold up an expensive night shoot on which EON had also secured permission for the streets to be closed to traffic so they could film, Moore, who had in his younger days been a heavy-goods lorry driver, took the wheel himself.
How could you discuss this film without referencing Patrick Macnee? Meta casting which acknowledged Steed's influence as a proto-Bond and the importance of The Avengers during the 60s spy boom, his chemistry with Moore is palpable and makes his demise genuinely touching.
They were best friends for decades in real life.
Yes, there's some real understated comedy in their scenes together which I didn't get the first time I saw the film.
Also, no word that this 007 was the cinema debut of Dolph Lundgren.
Some kinda weak ☹️ (make no mistake as I love the channel, but Dolph is a legend and this is a lesser known fact)!
Agree. Love the MacNee and Moore scenes.
As a kid I liked it and Tanya Robert’s had nothing to do with that, nothing, absolutely nothing... oh yeah she did
Same. And I watched Sheena 27 times for Ted Wass’ acting.
When The Beach Boys start playing you’re either with this movie or against it lol
The entire opening was too much of a Spy Who Loved Me do over without the WOW factor at the end
It's up there with that whistle effect in TMWTGG.
Tanya Roberts was not vapid. They made her intelligent. But she didn't come across as sultry, like you said. Wasn't best use of Bond girls. But Grace Jones was dynamite! Magnetic in every scene!
It was the first Bond movie that I ever watch... so I still love it!
It may not be one of the best, but Moore was always fun to watch.
I like A View To A Kill, it has Christopher Walken and Grace Jones in it, Tanya Roberts is gorgeous and its one of the best theme songs. What's not to like? I was 10 when this came out, so didn't noticeif it was silly, or didn't care, and it's the first Bond film I remember being released into the cinema. I remember Walkers Crisps were doing some promotion for the film and I got posters for my bedroom wall, one of the helicopter chasing him at the beginning and another where he's shooting up towards Mayday on the Eiffel Tower.
RIP sweet Tanya Roberts
@@matthewdaley746 "Angels" would have ended anyway, Tanya or no Tanya!
The video for Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" theme song was bonkers. The video cut the band members into the movie, the Eiffel Tower scene specifically. A sight seeing telescope becomes a machine gun. It was nuts, but very 80's.
I was 10 when this film released and Roger Moore was MY Bond...I loved this movie.
Yet another great installment. Really enjoying your shows.
So excited for The Living Daylights retrospective!
Tanya was my favorite Bond girl. Had not heard that she died. That really sucks.
She is one of my favorites tô!
Tanya Roberts was so beautiful ❤️ RIP
This is one of my all time favorites. Great music and lots of fun with the bad guys!! I had to work in San Francisco a few years back, but i skipped the conference and went to visit all of the locations where they filmed this movie in the city. Good times!
This was the first Bond I ever saw in the cinema. I loved it then and I still love it! The film is one of the most re-watchable and fun, and TBH I never even noticed Moore's age. He was just James Bond, and that was enough for me.
I find other Bond films like Thunderball a real slog, but A View to a Kill is just effortlessly entertaining. Its great score and big climax on the GGB makes it a great send off for Moore.
Tanya Roberts was so beautiful probably one of the most gorgeous Bond girls❤
Grace Jones was dating Dolf Lundgren and got him a part on this movie. Blink and you'll miss it.
I was a Freshman in HS when this came out. This is the most 80's of all Bond films.
When Roger Moore died it was mentioned he'd suffered from skin cancer a number of times in his past. It's my theory that the face lift could've been due to skin cancer. Why else would you remove a mole and why wait until you're closing in on 60 years old.. This was the first Bond movie I bought on VHS with some birthday money as a kid and I bought it completely at random out of all the Bonds not knowing which film was which. The main thing I wanted firstly was a great theme tune & Bang! Duran Durans theme was like the start of a whole new chapter in my life. It's still my fave song & I became a DD fan from then on (just as their light was fading, though they came back in 93) but as a result of this film being the first Bond film I ever bought, it hold a place in my life for nostalgic & sentimental reasons. I know full well it's a bit of a creeky film & has many folk not liking it. But I still love it to bits & think it a great film. Roger Moore was always my favourite 007 as I grew up with him in the role and TD & PB, I would rate as very similar in the role, but GoldenEye stands out as the Best film after The Spy Who Loved Me. With Die Another Day being utter dog shit and by far the worst and most ridiculous Bond film other than the Sellers/Niven lsd fever dream Casino Royale. Both these two are way worse than A View To A Kill with CR being almost unfathemable and unwatchable and neither, funny, thrilling or worth wasting any time on watching. Die Another Day to me is the ulitmate dud in the actual bond series. I was quite young and imature when it came out & the thought of an invisible car was really exciting. I'm not that idiot any more and I now realise the invisible car as the most ridicilous and utterly stupid gadget in any of the Bond films. He uses it in snow, where tyre marks show & heat would melt where it sits, never mind that if no one can see you because your car is invisible then you will clearly cause an accident, and all you need to see them is thermo camera, crap crap crap idea. Not only the invisable car, but the constant nods, "jokes" & call backs to previous Bond outings because it was the 50th anniversary make it a constant "wach warrh!!" dud joke where you pause your jaw drops & you roll your eyes & shake your head. Then the best & ultimate faux pas is the woeful laughable diabolical CGI (CRAP GRAPHICS INEPTITUDE) that turn bond into cartoon land fodder, ugh!!! And if you think thats bad check out the interviews with director Lee Tamahori about the film. He wanted Connery back as previous bond either to train new bonds or be the vilian. They say A View To A Kill was a bad film. But it didn't cause the whole series to get rebooted like Die Another Day and now to me, Bond with Craig, has to compete with Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt & the Joy and fun that was in RM Bond adventures isn't there. It's overly serious and sulky, not quippy, raised eyebrow & "keeping the british end up!"
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TIMOTHY DAULTON RETROSPECTIVES SINCE U STARTED THESE. my favourites
Too bad Tanya Roberts is gone she was beautiful.
The first Bond movie I ever saw in a cinema, at the Scala in Withington. Two quid very well spent IMHO!
Funny, I don't remember anyone saying Moore was too old to play the role back in '85. I remember this being one of the most fun Bond movies, with a decent villain very well-played by Christopher Walken. Also, Viagra didn't exist in 1985.
Taniya Roberts-ethereal beauty. RIP.
Roger Moore was my favorite. The coolest Bond!!!!
This might be my least favourite Moore’s Bond film. Still better than many of the new ones tho
I still have the 45 of this movie theme.
I always liked this film. Rogers's age never bothered me. It's a little slow in the middle, but other than that, I think it's a pretty solid Bond film.
My guilty pleasure Bond film
I love the theme song and Christopher Walken as Max Zorin. Roger Moore did a great job, but he should've stopped after Octopussy.
Me too
I like this one saw it 3 times at the cinema twice in 2 days
I will always have a soft spot for this one, since it came out when I just started paying attention to movies and pop culture in general as a kid. James Bond was a big deal in the 80's and "the new Bond" was a thing you just had to see. So when we finally got a vcr a while later Dr No was the first Bond I rented (start at the beginning, right?), but AVTAK was the 2nd. Also I was a big Duran Duran fan at that time, so yeah. :-)
This is my dads favourite James bond and I like it aswell
Completely underrated movie. Super score.
First mistake is trying to take any Roger Moore Bond seriously.....this is easily his best one.
RIP Tanya
Yeah, she was a superstar until about 1989, and, disappeared, truly an odd thing in, not, a very long span of years.
@@matthewdaley746 true. I was pretty happy when I saw here pop up on 'That 70s Show'
@corydeceased Well, at least, there was, a resurgence, Shelley Hack wasn't, so, lucky, and, seemingly, has been relegated to a, trivia-question-answer, very odd.
i love A View To A Kill!
it marked the modern Bond era for me. and the story wasn't too far fetched. it was quite grounded than a lot of earlier Bond films.
i'm a little bit biased, of course, because i grew up in the 80's, i love the 80's pop culture... the music, the hair bands... but, whenever i miss watching JB marathon and i don't want to go all the way back to Connery era, i would start from A View To A Kill.
My fave Bond movie
Love this film because of Walken and Duran Duran theme song. Freshman in College and rocked.
Saw this film for the first time last night. Much as I loved Moore, this should've been Dalton's.
It's dumb, but it's my favorite Bond movie.
Lol. I’ve always been a strong defender of this movie but before today I didn’t think that opinion was even possible.
The producers did Moore no favors by casting Bond girls half his age as he got older. Even in For Your Eyes Only, Moore was 53 and Carole Bouquet was 24. They should have cast actresses that were a little older like Maud Adams who he had great chemistry with in Octopussy
Agree 100%
Every time you mispronounce Tanya's name, my heart dies a little.
RIP Miss Roberts!
This movie is not a total disaster people make it out to be. It has fun action sequences, some funny jokes, a great score from John Barry, a great song from Duran Duran, and two absolutely crazy villains. It's not a great movie, but its entertaining. 6/10 is a fair rating.
Great review I agree with everything but you should’ve mentioned that it’s the only movie ever wear. The main theme song in the beginning is repeated for the end credits I mean it’s a great song, but what the heck
How do you know a person (JoBlo in this instance) has integrity? When they comment about how much they loved this film yet acknowledge it has a lot of flaws. Personally the only bond films I hated were Pierce Brosnan's. The rest I enjoy for the nostalgia and the fun they had in the films. License to Kill is my favourite of the Bond films, really took a gritty turn.
What don't you like about Brosnan's? I've only seen Goldeneye of those, anyway yeah License to Kill is very good
I hated all of Pierce Brosnan's films after Goldeneye, they really stunk.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 Do yourself a favor, avoid the other three Pierce Brosnan films like the plague, TND started off great before falling apart, the other films were so, terrible they couldn't even say that.
How can you with not one word mention Patrick Macnee? He's the best sidekick since Pedro Armendiraz...
A View to a Kill is pure guilty pleasure.
Believe it or not, this movie is what got me into James Bond. It could be because of the music.
I admit I'm not a Daniel Craig fan but I am a Roger Moore fan!
My favourite double-entendre, is so subtle no one ever notices:
As they're sneaking into Zorins mine, Stacey anxiously whispers to James: -Do you know what I'm sitting on?
[camera shows her butt in tight jeans sitting on top of explosives]
James replies calmly: -I'm trying not to think about it.
Such an amazing film damn
I really enjoyed a View to a Kill, people say Roger Moore got plastic surgery for the 1985 film but that's not strictly true. His doctor advised him to remove the mole through surgery because it was at risk of becoming cancerous and that made him age a lot more in just two years.
Worst Moore films were Man with the Golden Gun and Moonraker I think, best were Live and Let die and Spy Who loved me
OUT OF 10! out of 10
Roger Moore the best Bond ever.
Personally I think the best way to watch this is vhs or at least DVD because at lover resolutions you dont really notice the problems with this movie
Good point about the age difference between Moore and his female co-stars here! In OCTOPUSSY, at least, Maude Adams looked Ever So Slightly Older (though 38 is not that old, especially not when Moore's already in his mid-Fifties!), and it felt appropriate for the two of them to hook up.
In A FEW TO A KILL, Moore behaves like a better-looking version of Benny Hill -- which, given Q is behaving like that Jackie Wrights (that old guy on his show), kind of fits!
i 'm one of the few who likes this. To me it's as good as Thunderball and Man with the Golden Gun. A lot of humour and good stunts.
Roger had both work done on his face and looks to be the leanest he was since the 1960s. (which only further contributed to him looking old)
8 out of 10 for me! Big fan of this film
The grace jones laugh is what I remember
I know I said the same for the Beastmaster video, but Tanya Roberts was possibly the most beautiful women in film - at least, she always comes up when my friends talk about it. View to a Kill has always been one of my favorite Bond films, just because it has Christopher Walken, Grace Jones and Tanya Roberts. To Moore's credit, he hated being paired up with much younger actresses. Many men would find that stokes their ego, but Moore is too much of a gent and he doesn't need his ego stoking. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that Moore preferred Tanya Roberts to be more covered up because he was embarrassed that she was so young.
After this Roger said, _"NO MOORE..."_
Finally 👍🏻❤️
Always an enjoyable film
Moore didnt like grace jones too much, she was a diva. His age at the time was never an issue for me, in fact, i’ve never really thought he was too old for the part.
Loved Moore as the 70's Bond . But he probably should of stopped at Moonraker (aged already 52 ) and passed the mantle on to his younger lookalike Ian Ogilvy who was rumoured to get the part but didn't because Broccoli allowed the aging Moore to carry on .
The whole film felt like the steam had gone out of the series a long time ago. Tanya Roberts is nice to look at though.
Christopher walken deserves a 10. out of 10
Roger Moore was actually 57 years old during the filming of View to a Kill, but I take your point about him being too old.
I remember watching this film in the summer of 1985. It wasn't the best Bond film, but it has a certain charm about it. I still think Roger Moore was the best Bond and Moonraker is my favorite.
Christopher Walken is amazing in this.
Cool. 👍
I love this movie the same way you love Octopussy. It has its flaws and is silly. But I enjoy the hell out of it.
I agree about Grace Jones, she was great in this movie, and her turn at the end was much better done than what happened in some of the other movies, Pussy Galore as a clear example.
This is my second least favorite of Moore's Bond movies (I've rewatched most of the Bond films recently and this is one of the last ones I've watched) with Live and Let Die being my least favorite of his. This was the first Bond movie to come out after I had been born though I didn't see it until much later. My introduction to Bond was watching several of the Connery and Moore movies, The Living Daylights, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service while mom and I were staying at her younger sister's house for a week when visiting her family in 90 but I don't think this was one of the ones I watched then. (I remember seeing the ones I named, Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, Dr. No, Octopussy, Moonraker, and The Spy Who Loved Me there and I think that was the only period when I watched Bond movies there because usually when visiting mom and I stayed with her oldest sister.
Near my bottom of Bond films, but I still watch for the villains. Christopher Walken makes almost any movie he's in better.
Live and Let Die had the most lovable villains. CW is hateful in this and I like him in most anything. Maybe I need to rewatch it. I thought it was too long when I saw it many years ago- doesn't this one have the cooking scene? Ugh boring. And the over the top violence felt forced and didn't belong in a movie with a gentleman like Moore. Bad movie in my book
Say what you will about this movie, but the theme by Duran Duran is one of the best James Bond themes.
I don't think Tanya Roberts's mum was 45 years old at the time of shooting A VIEW TO A KILL, considering Roberts herself was 34.
That's not true too old. A View to a Kill was a great movie. Roger Moore really wanted to do one more James Bond movie after A View to a Kill which would be shot only in Great Britain. Mostly in Scotland, but United Artists wouldn't let him!
WTF!!! Walken is fantastic in this film and he is the star of the film. If anything Jones is trying to keep up in the OTT ham stakes. As for her songs... Libertango is a classic. Have a listen one of the greatest songs of the 80s
This is almost worse than Moonraker. Actually it is worse. At least Moonraker was stupid fun.
Must be fashionable to Elevate May Day in 2021. Ridiculous 🤦🏻♂️
I really only went to see Grace.
Seriously, your videos are decent, but saying Christopher walken isn't a classic james bond vilain is insane. The guy is an experiment, and he plays the crazy/psychotic smart guy so well. He is so iconic, you see him once you'll never forget him. You mention Grace Jones, yes she is fantastic but so is he. They all brought their magic to this movie. I think you got it wrong there.
no one is young enough to do what the stunts call for!
i just started watching reviews of james bond films, and i think i am going to stop. my favorite james bond films are roger moore and my favorite roger moore james bond films are the ones you score low. so much for that.
Duran Duran’s song “A View to a Kill” is my favorite Bond theme song.
It’s so 80’s, I adore that song.
Yes!!
Its not on the soundtrack I dont think . They own yhe rights to the song .
Live And Let Die for me
@@kenshiroFNS ooh that’s a good one, too
Christopher Walker’s character Max Zorin was the highlight of this movie. Dude stole every scene he was in 😎
Yeah I don't know wtf the guy's one about he was a great Bond villain, actually energetic and engaging instead of acting brooding and quiet while also being completely uninteresting.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 i think what he meant at that point he wasn't the Walken that he is now.
@@Lance37a Yeah but he also said he didn't like his performance too much and thought he wasn't a great Bond villain, when he's actually one of the better ones.
He seems to do that with every movie he has been in.
More, more power.
