Moore was effectively finished as Bond after FYEO, although Octopussy is in fact, a fun and entertaining adventure, but Roger was nonetheless still past it as the iconic character and really, shouldn't have featured again after Moonraker - and we've got a discussion underway as to whether Moore should of featured again in '87, and with it, take the place of one Timothy Dalton ?..
Guess strange things will happen on these pages often enough, but for the final time, there's no chance in hell Moore could of worked for TLD, it's as though we'd want to see Brosnan in Skyfall - you got to realize, some things just can't be done
LALD was just about the perfect introduction for Moore to make his Bond debut - I think the 60s would appear too premature, and despite Connery making a grand mess of things in DAF, would only want Lazenby instead for that particular release - I think Moore's 1973 debut just can't be beaten -
Kind of content to just leave things the way they turned out, in retrospect
Also we would be spared the Dolly romance. Wint and Kidd would be immune to her charms.
1987
in that film at times.
Considering I consider DAF & VTAK right near the bottom, Rog probably would have been better for DAF, I'm not sure it would have improved it much though.
Most definitely not TLD though, yes it was a Moore rewrite but I'm glad it was tailored more for Dalton, now that could been one car crash of a film with Rog. He should thrown the towel in after FYEO.
The Moore films are fine for their time I guess but the idea they should make them like that now would have turned the series into a laughing stock, it always has to move on and it does.
Some like it some don't, you are never going to please the fanbase entire ever, some would rather Bond was a timepiece and a cliche that much is true. The attempts to make Craig more like the Bond of old in SPECTRE are the best evidence they should have never gone there.
I always thought it looked best when it was slightly messed up, like in Moonraker after the G Force simulator, or even the deleted watch scene from AVTAK.
Oh there is no hate @talos7 ....its just me....
As much as I love Tim in TLD, I do think Moore looked better in 1987 than in AVTAK. On the Happy Anniversary 007 special he pretty much looks like his old OP self.
Had he done TLD I might have enjoyed it just as much, though I imagine the script would have had more one liners. He'd probably have his Lotus instead of the Volante/Vantage, and certain scenes would have played out differently.
@talos7 Barry has many problems ! not just with the lovely Kara
:D !!.
A bit weird. Suddenly Kara becomes Kra.
So true ..so true..
I hated The Living Daylights when I was 9. All I kept saying was 'Where's Roger Moore'. It needed him to be a great movie.
I'D RATHER HE DIDN'T 'ACT HIS AGE'. HE'S JAMES BOND AT THE END OF THE DAY AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUN.
