Mostly, AVTAK is a serious film, but it seems Roger aged about 10 years between 1983 and 1985 and it shows a lot in that film. It's silly to watch what looks like an 80-year-old in fight scenes and chasing after bad guys.
I think poor old Roger was featured in that film less than his stunt man was. The titles should have read "Roger Moore's stunt man as Ian Fleming's James Bond. :-D
like how Zao was getting his face changed, and if you look closely at the picture of who he is to become, he looks like the kid from the first Final Destination movie..
I was 14 and watched it with my Dad and distinctly remember the part when Jaws met that young blonde girl and the sappy love music started playing; I looked over at my dad like 'what the hell am I watching' and he was asleep!
It's a good thing I dismissed the whole movie as a fluke and continued watching the other films or I would not have ended up the Bond fan I am now!
BTW I've since come to appreciate Moonraker for what it is :)
Jaws returning was ruined by making him a joke. A once formidable villain has to turn good. For some unknown reason?
DAF comes a close second, with DAD taking the bronze thanks to the gene therapy face changing and invisible cars.
MR is indeed, in many ways, very silly, yet has its conceivable and engaging espionage moments and extrememly high production values (as well as high doses of fun) that make it more than all right in my book... :)
Marines fighting Drax's army with jet packs and laser guns in space was beyond the limits of tolerable absurdity.
