    @Benny are you going to include Never Say Never Again in this game?

    Eventually. But not till all the EON films have been covered first.

    A few shots of Roger Moore and Maud Adams. I believe they had great chemistry. judging by these photos.

    How bizarre: my dad used to own one of those Jaguars she's sat on- it was a special edition limited run of only 100 cars. It comes from 1988, so well after the film.

    Aged pretty well then. The actress, not the car.

    Yes, the car was a bit rusty, sadly! :)

    Love that forced perspective technique that would continue with OP. Were there any other examples of that in the series?

    The Afgan bridge in the Living Daylights was a notable foreground miniature: John Richardson added a model to make the bridge look much taller.

    I've never thought that Maud Adams' nails are painted, I thought it's a bit bizarre, because one of Bond's characteristics was he never preferred women to have colored/painted nails.

    He liked his women's nails to be uncolored or simple/ordinary.

    So, if this is Fleming/Literary Bond, for sure, he would've rejected Octopussy, because her nails are painted 😅

    Oh, no sorry; I wasn’t criticising at all, I don’t think it matters and I was very interested to see the photo, thank you.

    In his latter films Rog would have benefited greatly from a better haircut.

    It always seems mad to me that they put the jet on a pole to drive it through the hangar, but painted the pole white.

    Yes, I much prefer the straight side-parting in his earlier films. That's the definitive Moore Bond to me. Wonder why they changed it.

    Yeh, that's a strange one. Director John Glen claimed also that the pilot and owner of the Acrostar, 'Corkey' Fornof, told them he could do the stunt for real, but considering it would have been too fast, and also he couldnt have any bystanders, which wouldn't have looked good on screen, they went with John Richardsons idea!

    A former neighbour from across the street (which is not paved) owned an XJS, along with a Daimler XJ8 or whatever it was. He must have been unhappy with it being dusted over constantly by cars going by, since he had an open carport.

    The dentist who bought his house about six years ago put garage doors on the carport. Smart move. There are just no Jaguars any more.

    That photo of Rog sitting in a swamp, nonchalant smoking a cigar, shows making movies isn't always glamorous!

    Yeah, doesn't look very glamorous does it. Though Sir Rog, did get the chance to sneak in another cigar.

    Great photos from an underrated film.

    Great photos, yes. But the film, IMO, is definitely overrated and if anything, barely better than AVTAK. Actually, I'd prefer AVTAK for a re-watch at this moment. Glad I don't have to really decide right now.

    OP isn't overrated - it still sits in the bottom half of rankings collected from several Bond websites. Other than a few silly moments which are mostly confined to the jungle chase, it's a quality entry.

    Love this pic, and Bond's handrail slide with ammo check. Don't think I've seen it before.
