Off course, most fans think of Sir Roger Moore portraying the funniest James Bond of the entire bunch of Bond actors. He did it seven times. A long period, perhaps too long?
Anyway, Roger Moore hasn't been only 'fun and games' in his Bond films. On the contrary, there are still some memorable 'Fleming-esque' scenes. Scenes in which Moore was, perhaps against his own will, the more cold blooded killer. The killer we got so acquinted with in the past three Bond films, in which Craig plays Bond.
So I made a list. A list of memorable 'kick-ass' scenes. I ask you kindly to make up your mind and pick your TOP 5 of the down below mentioned scenes. Here we go:
01. 'Live And Let Die':
"Rosie and Bond making love at the river in San Monique. Bond giving Rosie literally two choices: Truth or Death."
02. 'The Man With The Golden Gun':
"Bond entering Andrea's hotelroom in the Peninsula. Then teaching Scaramanga's mistress a lesson. Slapping her."
03. 'The Man With The Golden Gun':
"Rough dinner conversation at Scaramanga's villa. Apparently, 007 makes it clear they are not the same."
04. 'The Spy Who Loved Me':
"Bond explaining agent XXX, Anya, why he had to kill her lover. Anya doesn't like that at all."
05. 'The Spy Who Loved Me':
"And Stromberg enjoys his comfortable seat, when 007 shoots him from under the table in his nuts and face."
06. 'Moonraker':
"The torture scene in the centrifuge. The look on his face after watching straight into the henchman's eyes."
07. 'For Your Eyes Only':
"James Bond first shooting Loque in his shoulder, then kicking him off the cliff while still in his Mercedes."
08. 'For Your Eyes Only':
"Another torture scene. Great 'underwater' acting to see 007 struggling for his...and Melina's life."
09. 'Octopussy':
"Bond and Rishka avenging both the death of an important person. Bond wins with 'throwing knives'."
10. 'Octopussy':
"Agent 007 now really has a tough job. He's actually disarming an atomic bomb. You need to be...cold for that."
11. 'A View To A Kill':
"Zorin discovers Bond and Stacey in the archive room of the city hall. A tense conversation "with admiration" follows."

#2 For Your Eyes Only / Bond and Leopold-Locque
#3 The Man with the Golden Gun / Bond and Scaramanga
#4 The Spy Who Loved Me / Bond and Anya Amasova
#5 Octopussy / Bond and Grischka
LALD - Rosie makes a life changing decision
FYEO - Bond gets the drop on Locque
TMWTGG - Andrea didn't expect the sudden twist
TSWLM - James 'Yes, I killed your boyfriend' Bond starring in Moodbreaker ;)
Stromberg gets two shots to the balls and one in the heart- not the face. Moore is not THAT badass :))
Could we also include:
-Bond letting Sandor fall to his death after telling him what he wants to know
-Bond initially declining Columbo's hospitality ("If I don't report in by morning...")
TMWTGG - The fight in Saida's dressing room.
TSWLM - Knocking Sandor off the building.
MR - Shooting the would be assassin. You missed Mr. Bond. Did I?
FYEO - Kicking Locque's car off the cliff.
OP - Confronting Orlov on the train.
AVTAK - The fight on the Golden Gate Bridge.
I suppose AVTAK is a stretch but I wanted to include every film.
I would go with the confrontation of Orlov in OP, and shooting the Russian guard as mentioned above for number two. "I'n British Secret Service"
Three: Climbing the mountain in Greece
Four: Andrea in the hotel room (that would be a pity because they're very expensive)
Five: Lunch conversation at Scaramanga's
Yes, and the Conti score is actually brilliantly tense in that scene.
Has Bond ever kicked anyone in the ass, though? I can only remember him feeling up some fat sumo ass in TMWTGG. Is that what Craig referred to when replying to Silva in the chair?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! :))
That was a pretty kick ass moment (particularly as Moore did most of his own stunt work).
"James Bond first shooting Loque in his shoulder, then kicking him off the cliff while still in his Mercedes."
That's by far the most badass! I love that scene!
Leaping over the 'crocs from the same film release would have to be included (even if it was Ross Kananga)
Got to include the train battle with Tee Hee and after his victory, "Just being disarming darling"
Shooting Scaramanaga in the fun house
Beating the thugs at the Ice Hockey arena
Threatening to maim Lazar with the rifle (talk now or forever hold your piece)
At the Octopussy island when the three saw-blade thugs intrude
Interrogation of Orlov and subsequent shooting of soldier who appears directly after
Picking Jaws up by the teeth with the magnet (how does that grab you)
Knocking Sandor off the roof in The Spy Who Loved Me
Have to include the somersault bridge from Golden Gun (slide whistle NOT inclusive)
