Best sound tracks? Heck, what a travesty the Oscars were that year. The soppy, squishy, ridiculous and wholly forgettable "The Way We Were" beat out a McCartney classic for best theme song.

I was in the audience when Jane Seymour was in Dancing With The Stars, I know she's close to 70 but my goodness the lady was scorching hot and definitely had more charisma than everyone else around her.
I think the girl in Gold finger, the one who tried to snipe Auric and had her car totalled by Bonds wheel mounted tyre shredder interrupted him as well.
The introduction : 'My name is Bond, James Bond', in my opinion was best delivered by Moore. He had just the right tonality and the pause after saying 'Bond' was perfect. They don't make em like this anymore.
@@vordman Perfect way of describing it. Best of the escapist action packed Bond movies by a mile. It still has solid character development but it's a badass action movie #1 and it nailed it.
Not my favourite Bond film..but one of the best line's. Should have had a Bond face reaction shot. Eye-brow at a slightly acute angle face like a Guppy.. anyway funny. Ta for aharing.
For those commenting on the "007" deck of cards. This is 1973 and the production designers put little things like this for the very few sharp eyes, in movie theaters. Not even VHS was out yet, not to mention DVD or other digital media. You think they guessed people would freeze still the movie while on their toilet?
Th thing that bothers me is that in the original Ian Fleming novel, one of the chapters around the equivalent scene here is called "N***er Heaven" and full of highly questionable bigotry. Though still not as awful as in Goldfinger where Fleming wrote: "Those terms included putting Odd-Job or ANY OTHER KOREAN firmly in place, which in Bond's estimation was lower than apes in the mammalian hierarchy."
0:45 This is in my opinion the second best delivery of the "Bond.... James Bond" - line in any of the movies. Only beaten by Sean Connery's introduction scene in Dr No.

0:47 probably one of the most underrated introductions interactions in the series, the slow switch to the theme of 007 from the villain's soundtrack was executed nicely. This is coming from a Craig fan.
This and for your eyes only are the two best Moore films in my opinion! He is at his best, when he’s written in a less comedic manner. The balance is just right..! (Although I do really enjoy the man with the golden gun as well)
I'm a big fan of all the Moore Bond films, and I think Moonraker gets a bad wrap. (There IS too much humor in that one, though) But there's something special about Moore's first two, and of course For Your Eyes Only, as you mentioned. I think Man with the Golden Gun is actually my favorite overall Bond film! But Live and Let Die is close behind; it's also amazing.
Roger Moore looked SO much better and much more convincing as Bond when he had his hair like this, shorter down the back and sides and without it hanging over his ears. It also helped to keep him looking a bit younger.
I think that they really made the most of Roger Moore's Englishness in this film. The way he drops the gun in the bin: I'm not sure that he predecessors could've pulled that off so perfectly.
I absolutely love her with her hair down in the later parts of the movie. She was 22 the time the movie went out, probably 21 during the shoot. She's the prettiest Bond girl for me and one of my favorites. Ironically my favorite Bond girls are both evil.
One our honeymoon to Jamaica I realized the lobby (later in the film) was from Live and Let Die. And Dr. Kinanga's lair was actually the room the resort had the pool tables. It was San Suici Lido in Ocho Rios.
The one thing that keeps breaking my immersion are the backsides of the cards. Not only do they show a 007 logo on the back which seems rather unreal, but also every card in the movie must have been made by the same company because it doesn't matter if they're from Solitaire's deck or from a random store, they all have the same backside. Also you can never again unsee this trivia now, you're welcome.
Jane Seymour was only 20 when she was cast as Solitaire. Between her and Lynn-Holly Johnson in For Your Eyes Only, we can say that Roger Moore was Bond's middle-age crisis phase.
Roger Moore didn't like acting with Lynn-Holly and said to the producers that it came off as a little weird that long-in-the-tooth Bond would be attracted to the High School aged Lynn-Holly. That's why later on in the film that Bond hooks up with a well-over 30s "Countess".
When I die, I would like my tombstone to have that very inscription, "Names is for tombstones, baby!". In fact, you know what, I will be sure to include that detail in my will, just to be sure. :P Not that I'm planning to die any time soon of course (I'm only 27, but still, never know). :D
If Solitaire is so good with tarot, she ought to know that Fool is not a bad card. It doesn't literally mean fool. Rather a carefree adventurer, a mischievous go-getter.
As a further layer: in the original game set up of Tarot, before it was used for fortune-telling, the Fool was believed to serve the same role as the Joker card in poker: i.e. it acted as an 'excuse' to permit whoever plays it to not follow suit. A very fitting hint that Bond is not a guy who follows the leader and always has a plan to do his own thing.
I was 12 when this came out and my mother managed a movie theater so I saw at least a dozen times. Never once did I notice that the cards say 007 on the back
One of the best Bond films, with one of the best bad guys and definitely one of the best sound tracks. R.I.P Yaphet Kotto who died 15.03.2021.

The thing that bothers me about this scene is the realization I could order everything on the menu for $3.00 in 1973 😭.

Lemme play devil's advocate for no reason but my own amusement just to be silly: The cards all being labeled 007 are why she knows who he is.
