He was a great actor. Actually one of my favorite James Bond actors of all time. But sadly passed away. But he’ll always be my favorite. R.I.P roger Moore 1927 - 2017.
Maybe if he's 15 minutes from the airport. I usually get through in far less time than expected and wind up waiting 30-90 minutes, I think they design it that way.
Rip in peace Commander Sir Roger moore.He never took the role seriously always had a smile on his face.Plus he was funny a great Bond and very sarcastic too he will be sadly missed.
Oh, he did have his serious moments, such as later in this movie when he went after the twins who had killed 006(I believe). It's those times when he is down to business that really makes it good. Most of the time being rather carefree made the adventure fun, but there is always a time to button up and do the dirty work.
That’s what made him good. He was the funny bond. The sarcastic side of bond. The one thing is, no one actor has nailed the role, they have their versions. Mix Sean Connery, with Daniel Craig’s casino Royale, and some of of Roger Moore’s humour. Perfection.
What a scene - deducing the tactics to pursue his next mission. His delivery has always been a gentlemen charm. No one does it like Roger Moore, you will be greatly missed.
Robert Brown is an underrated M. I think that, while he didn't look as much born for the role as Bernard Lee did, he was in a certain way closer to the temperamental M of Fleming's books.
Bond got the egg to MI-6 and left Khan with the trackable counterfeit, while also gaining some good intel on Khan and pulling an extra 100 grand out of the dude's pocket for good measure. And he even pre-bought the plane ticket for his next assignment before M could even give it to him. I like when we get to see Bond just be a really good spy.
@@Peterviegal In terms of rankings on Bond films it tends to be well into the bottom 50%. My impression is that it tends to be viewed as sort of the worst of the not actually cringe worthy Bond films.
thing is the new films are meant to be the origin of these ones, the fact that the 1st film way about 0007 becoming 007 early, remaking the commanders office. There's just one tiny cock up. M being a woman. And played by the great Dame herself She was the first female M when Brosman met her, and they had some tension. Even the callbacks in later films. The exploding pen, the car with missles behind the plates ETC and then you get people who say its just a code name. Again Skyfull disproved that by showing his family home, graves. The fact that one actor was married to a bond girl, she is killed by Blofeld and the next bond is on a revenge hunt for him. The fact that its 3 different bonds going after Spectre (classic bond) and Blofeld and Bond act like its the same guy playing Bond. SO Bond not a code name.
ROGER MOORE IS JAMES BOND OO7 I love this film..... It's a great film, very enjoyable..... I love the Indian setting, cause I'm an Indian..... BOND HITS AN ALL TIME HIGH.
Though that 55 minutes could be 55 minutes until check-in closes rather than 55 minutes until boarding closes. In any case, he may well have some way of being able to bypass security.
I think it's one of those situations where Bond has done something procedures said he shouldn't have done, so M has to tell him off, but M also knows that Bond's played a blinder.
I’ve always seen M’s relationship with Bond to be a love-hate relationship. They both respected each other as they were highly competent, regardless of their...habits. But I get the feeling that Bond loves winding up M, and M enjoys smacking him down.
Love Sir Roger, he was my Bond growing up...but I think he should have retired after Moonraker, imagine for a moment that old Cubby agreed and decided to give Lewis Collins a shot in '81 when he auditioned for Bond, wonder what Octopussy would have been like then
How many other Bonds have outmaneuvered M with this kinda style, to the point he’s booked a ticket on a flight, AND got the ticket, before he even got the assignment? NONE. Roger Moore is the Stylish Bond.
Sir Roger Moore, the most underrated Bond. - He is the bond that stopped slapping women - In few movies he didn't present him to anybody as bond (a view to a kill an example) - When you thinking bond as a guy that takes off his neoprene swim swit and below is a perfect tuxedo and perfect hair, is in his movies mostly. But he is playing like a joke not like real. Like the pocket jet in the pre-credits. - One of the few who understood the role/character and quit it from it without remorse after the most consecutive installments! - He couldn't be replaced. They tryed for this movie and the prior one. They couldn't. - He was able to make a space james bond possible and a success!. Can you imagine a succesfull Craig movie going to the space? - When he was replaced, with a better actor IMHO, the movie got better reviews but only because was a reboot, the next one almost killed bond... - He is the bond in one of the best movies of the saga, The Spy Who Loved Me. Even directors said that movie after movie they tryed to make another TSWLM but ended with another... Thunderbolt... - Most of bond drove fancy aston martins..., he drove whatever was available, like a citroen 2cv, a cheap AMC, renault 11. I think the most fancier was a turbo esprit. - By the way, Elon paid 1M for a lotus esprit from his 3rd movie. Probably hi was not the best but he gave Bond a good run for "their's" money. Only one bond got an oscar and connery got his after 17 years of his first "never" or 5 years after his "never again".
One of the things that struck me about this scene is that M knows, off by heart, the name of the MI5 contact in India. Bond could've told him Kamal caught a flight to almost anywhere in the world so would he have known the MI5 contact for every country on the planet? Or was it just luck? Lol
No. He would have known. That position probably kept him in constant contact with most if not all of them. That's what people holding that kind of post do 24/7/365.
@@JSB103 Fair enough, I just thought if Bond had said "Our man tailed him to Heathrow where he caught a connecting flight to Malabo via Addis Ababa" would M have replied, "I'll alert our man in Equatorial Guinea..." :)
@@wez4517, yes, he would have, and that would have been kind of funny. What I found funny is that JB already had a ticket to fly there right in his pocket, as if he had M totally figured out and could anticipate exactly what his orders were going to be. JB totally controlling his 'handler.' 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Heathrow is a long way away from that room. Even with 1980s security, I don't see him making it from downtown London, through check in (even with the shorter premium class line), to the gate and onto the plane in 55 minutes.
Roger Moore is awesome! loved him in the Saint and for me he was just made for that role! Love watching those old British shows! Such style and class! And he was great as Bond as well! Shame the writing got so hokey. Plus by Octopussy he was starting to look rather old for the role.
Bernard Lee died suddenly just before shooting was due to start on For Your Eyes Only. Out of respect for Lee, the part was not recast for FYEO but Moore suggested Brown should take the part for Octopussy. Moore and Brown had worked together previously on Ivanhoe, and Brown appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me. Brown played M in four films, the last being The Living Daylights.
Still wonder whether Robert Brown's M is the same Sir Miles Messervy character as Bernard Lee portrayed, a new M character or Admiral Hargreaves from The Spy Who Loved Me replacing Sir Miles as the new M. Though I think director John Glen once mentioned in an interview he was meant to be Sir Miles, but was never properly established in the films.
The 'replica' egg was the one 009 had taken to the British Embassy in Berlin. Whilst Bond didn't know KK was going to bid for the egg, clearly someone was going to, and the fact someone had killed 009 for the fake egg showed that the villain was keenly interested in it.
Bond is holding up the real egg and they put a transmitter in the egg and later the bad guys smash the egg with the transmitter in it and call it a fake so they smash the real egg and keep the fake. a massive hole in the writhing.

They've cut it slightly short where M has a wry smile on his face almost in admiration of Bond like a father would to a son.
Robert Brown was Roger Moore’s friend from the days of Ivanhoe and was also the the godfather of Roger’s daughter Debra
M is meant to be 007's superior but the friendship between Moore and Brown crosses over into the dynamic between their respective characters, which IMO I don't think is a good thing.

Roger Moore was much better than I remembered him as 007. A class act, both onscreen and offscreen.
He was a great actor. Actually one of my favorite James Bond actors of all time. But sadly passed away. But he’ll always be my favorite. R.I.P roger Moore 1927 - 2017.
He once lived in a house in gorleston on sea . Norfolk. UK . I live in gorleston, near the house but can't remember exactly which one it was .
I didn’t like him at first, but he grew on me. He did a good job as Bond. A good mix of action and humor.
Now we lost Connery too :'(
JAMES BOND = Sir Roger Moore
@The Wraith no i am glad he did 7 times UNITED ARTIST 007 only Sir Roger did not Sean!
55 mins to catch a flight and he still in the office. God be with the days. Nowadays the gate would be closing😁
But he's Bond..
Maybe if he's 15 minutes from the airport. I usually get through in far less time than expected and wind up waiting 30-90 minutes, I think they design it that way.
One bad light in South Kensington and he's missed his flight.
Probably helps jump the lines at security if you've got a diplomatic visa

"of course Sir", suave, cool and very British. One of the best Bonds ever.
Beautifully done and so effortlessly. The next Bond needs to take notes from the undisputed master!
Robert Brown is an underrated M. I think that, while he didn't look as much born for the role as Bernard Lee did, he was in a certain way closer to the temperamental M of Fleming's books.
I thought Bernard Lee was closer to the character in the books. A stiff upper lip no non sense guy.
Brown certainly looked healthier. Lee looked very unwell in his later films.
That small grin from M at the end of the scene..."Bond, you may be a pain in my arse, but there are times when it's worth it."
And Bond would ask if he heard that somehow "How often are those times?"
He'd get back "about once every year or two."
Bond got the egg to MI-6 and left Khan with the trackable counterfeit, while also gaining some good intel on Khan and pulling an extra 100 grand out of the dude's pocket for good measure. And he even pre-bought the plane ticket for his next assignment before M could even give it to him. I like when we get to see Bond just be a really good spy.
The counterfeit wasn't trackable. The tracker was put into the real egg which Magda stole from Bond.

Agreed 🤝
Sucks that his screen time got so diminished by the time we get to LTK.
Yes, Robert Brown is great.
Nowadays they overuse M in films.
Is it it me or is this video's audio volume very low?
Not just you, it is.
it is low
I thought my hearing was going. Glad to know it's just the video.
No, I'm afraid it's your ears that are too high.
You're used to movies now where everybody blurts out everything they say because they can't act.
I love Sean Connery (R.I.P.) but Moore is my favorite Bond. I always felt he had just the right amount campiness for the part.
Moore also got laid more than any other Bond. He had a minimum of 2 and a max of 4 per mission
@Dave Dumpling Agreed.
Nice that they recreated the office in Skyfall
But not talent
thing is the new films are meant to be the origin of these ones, the fact that the 1st film way about 0007 becoming 007 early, remaking the commanders office. There's just one tiny cock up.

I do not say this lightly and the reasons are complex, but "Octopussy" is the most underrated Bond movie.

As much as I liked the Brosman era, seeing Craig walk back into M's office at the end of Skyfall was a joy to behold.
I was not sure what the villain would be betting on so I had to carry around in my bagpocket a duplicate of everything that was auctioned today.
Sir Roger Moore one of the greatest Actors and for me the best James Bond he was my Bond growing up Sadly missed RIP Sir Roger Moore
It was cool to see that M as a painting in No Time to die
Yeah, very cool painting
At first he gives Bond slight telling of for what he did, but towards the end he is rather pleased with what Bond did.
I think it's one of those situations where Bond has done something procedures said he shouldn't have done, so M has to tell him off, but M also knows that Bond's played a blinder.
1:04. The look M gives Bond. He liked the sneaky move Bond pulled.
Who do you think Bond learned the sneaky moves from and likely invented half of them?
I’ve seen all the Bond films from the start. Roger Moore was the best in my book.
Agreed in my book to
I love the little twinkle in M's eye as Bond leaves for the flight. 007's always on top of things
Hey, he just got a priceless faberge egg for the government!
I love padded doors. Always figured I’d wind up behind one some day. 😂😂😂😂
I miss so much these movies where it was pure entertainment and fun, now days we have to put up with a sensitive and depressed Bond
Every single M, though aggravated by Bond, they all admired him.
I’ve always seen M’s relationship with Bond to be a love-hate relationship. They both respected each other as they were highly competent, regardless of their...habits. But I get the feeling that Bond loves winding up M, and M enjoys smacking him down.
Especially Judi dench
I want a couch door in my house.
These old bond movies were so classy
M: It's a government's property now

From Central London to Heathrow, check-in (First Class), security, board.... all within 55 minutes? Ahhh, the good old days!
A class act is Roger - RIP to one of the very best of British actors 👍
Incredible that Robert Brown as M was younger than Roger Moore. They appeared together in the TV series Ivanhoe.
Brown was born in 1921. Moore was born in 1927.
M, the king of straight characters. He was usually dead serious.
Back when James Bond was still James Bond.
Well said
...and when his gimmicks were awesome!
Still is!!
The immense ego on Bond for him to flash that plane ticket being three steps ahead of M. God, I love this character.
This was definitely a very memorable scene
