<font color=blue size=7><b>The Golden Gate bridge fight in AVTAK has very convincing special effects.</b></font>
Funnily enough a scene Sir Rog apparently hates
Really? Is that because of all his UNICEF 'I hate guns' stuff? He's gone a bit soft in his old age.
I think he's gone on record as saying that, out of the 7 films he did, AVTAK was the one he liked the least.
Moore had a healthy disregard for Grace Jones and were not on speaking terms
Moore didn't feel comfortable finding out Tanya Roberts mother was younger than him
Moore hated the violence in the film (I must have been watching something else)
Moore said 'machine gunning persons down in cold blood, is 'Not James Bond, it's not for me'
Moore did not consider it to be a James Bond movie
All told you could say that Roger didn't really like his last appearance as 007
Bingo.
But the scene itself is a bit of a disappointing ending to an otherwise very good and underrated (IMO) Bond film.
<font color=blue size=7><b>QOS was a step backwards after CR.</b></font>
Though I think you'll find everyone will agree with this thesis DD, 100%.
I would regard it more as a faltering step which left the series standing still. But for the shoddy editing and another months polish on the script it would have been a decent follow up to CR.
The main objective for SF is it needs to make sure that it is definitely a step forwards from QOS. It may not reach the heights of CR (which lets be fair had a whole Fleming novel to plunder as material) but if it is a step back from or on a par with QOS then serious questions need to be asked.
It's difficult not to when there are people of find it worse than Die Another Day and do nothing but slate the film any time it's brought up.
The responses to this, have pleasantly surprised me.
