9) tires apparently screech on gravel.
Outer space now belongs to 007 in,
Things We've Learned from…..Moonraker
1) A spaceship piggybacking on top of a jet plane can easily blast off of it without carrying pieces of the attached plane with it.
2) The stewardess who betrayed Bond will simply continue to casually put on her parachute while Bond and the pilot fight to the death.
3) A simple circus net will adequately protect a 300 plus pound man from a 30,000 foot fall.
4) It's possible for the 5 minute pre-title sequence to be better than the 2 hour film that proceeds it.
5) Drax's idea of an appetizing snack for his guests are cucumber sandwiches.
6) The brilliance of a Bond girl named Goodhead escaped me when I was nine years old. It doesn't now.
7) Bond can calmly murder one of Drax's men right in front of him and neither man will react further.
8) Bond must have misplaced his trusty Walther PPK for this mission.
9) The Don Perignon 69 is the most appropriate selection for a romantic evening with Bond.
10) While attempting to murder two secret agents in Rio, being gently carried away by a group of partiers will be enough to deter you from your mission and force you to inexplicably join in on the festivities.
11) Green-screen has come a long way.
12) Two deadly secret agents smiling and winking at you will be distraction enough to not realize an escape is being attempted only inches away from you.
13) Apparently a group of gorgeous women hanging out in an abandoned amazon temple is completely commonplace for Bond and will not raise his suspicions.
14) Drax will start a master race consisting only of beautiful people in space but not think to keep someone alive to pilot the ships and maintain the stations.
15) Short pig-tailed girls are enough to force a cold-blooded professional killer to do a complete 180 and fight for the salvation of humanity.
16) Who know attempting re-entry could be so much fun.
17) When in doubt of your source material, simply use the same script as your last film only set it in outer space instead of underwater.
19) (about 13) yes, but it will raise his eyebrows.
20) Lot of nobilities among Drax's women.
21) The CIA learned something from LALD.
22) You can find warrior monks in Argentina.
23) The double-taking pigeon is still one of the most stupid moments in Bond's cinematic history.
That was #25. 18 was posted twice.
I understand. But that's why the edit button is there :)
27. The future is 1979. Laser fights in space are possible.
28. Moonraker would have been better if they just played the score through the whole film.
29. Only James Bond can spot a sniper hiding in a tree.
30. Bolos means balls in Spanish even if the scene is shot in Brazil where they speak Portuguese.
31. In 1979, it was possible for someone to launch a space station from an ancient pyramid without NASA, the USSR or anyone noticing.
32. A lab with deadly gas can be quickly cleaned up and turned into a large office without any residual effects.
33. Venice can be used for more than background shots.
35. Sneaky Asian with bowl cut makes a fabulous manservant.
36. Jaws, you obey me.
37. Shooting people out of trees is such good sport.
38. Even a 70-year old can take 3 Gs
39. A purse with a radio to base was standard CIA equipment in the late 70s
40. If you are employed by an evil tyrant and the space station he created is exploding while you are on board, the only thing to do is to open a bottle of Bollinger and say Well... here's to us.
41) Put the guy with the machine gun in the FRONT of the gondola!
42) Let's build a gondola higher than the bridge!
43) before the pidgeon does a double-take, let's have a sailor do the same thing!
That's the stuff that had people making FUN of Bond films.
44. Pigeons are capable of doing double takes.
49) Drax called the ever reliable 1-800-HENCHMEN and was fortunate enough to have Jaws squeeze him into his schedule.
Seriously?
40) Some men take a woman's panties as a sort of trophy for their conquest. Bond took Honey Ryder's hunting knife and knife belt as a love momento.
41) After completing his mission in FRWL, Bond went all the way back to the orient express to retrieve Red Grant's garrote wire watch and took it as a keepsake.
53) whenever evil masterminds start glass production for their evil plans, they start a glass museum as well as cover.
54) Bond knows a woman-scientist when he sees one.
I figure given the years of planning it would take that Drax and Stromberg were practically racing to see who could destroy the world first haha.
Nobody comes close to James Bond 007 in,
Things We've Learned from…..For Your Eyes Only.
1) A solemn Bond laying flowers on Tracy's grave, in my view, made up for all the silliness in Moonraker. A touching moment.
2) Between the years of 1969 and 1971 Blofeld made a full recovery from his broken neck and even grew a full head of hair. Unfortunately both would regress completely in the subsequent decade. Sorry Ernst.
3) While being held at the mercy of the man who's wife you murdered on their wedding day, the best way to escape the impending calamity is to offer him a delicatessen in stainless steel. If that doesn't work just yell "Please".
4) While being hung over the edge of a helicopter, demanding "Put me down" might not be the best choice of words.
5) Melina won't think there's anything suspect about the pilot flying her home having a massive machine gun mounted on his plane.
6) Apparently Roger Moore's deal for eternal youth expired on the last day of the 1970s.
7) Melina, a marine biologist, will suddenly be able to pull off a spectacular shot on a falling target with a cross-bow simply because she's mad.
8) Q had been slacking off with the bullet-proof glass on the Lotus.
9) 007 will suddenly develop a moral objection to revenge along as the plot demands it.
10) Kreiger, a trick-shot marksman, can't so much as graze Bond at a much closer distance than he's used to shooting at.
11) Apparently Dick Tracy villains hang out at casinos in Greece.
12) Slow-paced underwater sequences are no more thrilling than they were in Thunderball unless they lead into Bond and an underwear clad Melina pulling a LALD.
13) Q moonlights as a priest.
14) The part of this film's sinister Bond villain will be played by what looks like a stern middle-aged suburban father.
15) Kristatos has some of the most loyal and determined henchman around who are willing to scale down the edge of a giant mountain with an old looking rope.
16) A flimsy looking basket will support the weight of 2 full-grown men and a woman.
17) Pistachios=Olympic Sponsorship.
18) Margaret Thatcher will profusely thank and congratulate Bond despite the fact that he destroyed the one item he was sent to retrieve.
19) Apparently Q and the defense minister haven't the faintest idea what Bond actually sounds like.
20) In 1981 Roger Moore was Ian's Fleming's James Bond.
"ooo...oooo...oo can you feel it inside you"
22) Back then the designers of the title sequences could get away with full topless nudity.
23). Liverpudlian accents don't always sound like how you would expect them to.
24). Prime Ministers come and go but 007 never gets old (if he does he eventually becomes young again).
=))
27)Instead of just getting aboard the ship and kill everyone with a machinegun, it's a far better idea to mount machineguns on your floatplane and gun everyone down from the air.
28) paper rolls are a good way to transport heroin.
29) Russian Generals are willing to fly illegally through Greece (and Turkey, or Albania, or, at that time Yugoslavia), with the risk of getting shot down, to retreave a deciphering machine.
31) 007 sins. And that's putting it mildly.
