I appreciate a good old crossbow in the era of machine guns.

Roger Moore's Bond has some brutal moments which are all that more impactful given the overall lightness of his performance.

Does Bond get to keep his casino winnings when he is on assignment? Or is this revenue generating for MI6?

Blue is definitely Roger Moore's colour!

Why is the room cast in red? Is it supposed to mimic a darkroom for photography?

The yellow Citroen gets beat up during the chase. Miraculously neither James or Melina have a scratch!

The close up of Melina Havelock's eye is impactful. It anticipates her mission of revenge.

Love me a good pre-credit helicopter action sequence! They are my favorite part of For Your Eyes Only and Spectre!

In honour of International Women’s Month, see my new blog “The Women of James Bond” cut from my research with Tyler Johnson on “Properties of a Lady: Public Perceptions of Gender in the James Bond Franchise.” lisafunnell.com/2025/03/05/t...

I love the way Bond looks at Jaws every time they meet in Moonraker. He has an Obi-Wan "hello there" smirk on his face.

The blue clock tower fight scene in Moonraker reminds me of the blue high-rise fight scene in Skyfall. James Bond fights in silhouette.

Loving the lightness of the gondola hovercraft sequence. Now THIS is James Bond to me!

How much fun was it to shoot the glass fight scene? This predates the advent of rage/wreck-it rooms!

The death of Corrine is drawn out to emphasize her terror.

Moonraker feels like an appropriate film for today

I would have preferred Shirley Bassey do a medley of her Bond songs for Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and Moonraker (1979). #oscars #JamesBond

A missed opportunity to highlight Sylvia Trench, the first Bond Girl in the inaugural Dr No (1962), via the red dress. #Oscars #JamesBond

The James Bond tribute at the #Oscars was unnecessary.

Was it really necessary to costume Anya Amasova in a revealing costume after her capture?

The ship interior is a really impressive set!

It's all fun and games (and neck sprains) until Amasova brings up Bond's murdered wife.

Felicia's dress does not get enough attention. It is gorgeous!

I love the water chases across the Moore era - by boat and on skis!

Andrea Anders is such a sad and tragic figure - abused by the men in her life.

Scaramanga is one of my favorite villains who desperately wants Bond's approval. To us, Mr. Bond 🥂

Love the fun house set up in Man with the Golden Gun.

The boat chase is so smooth in Live and Let Die. Love how Bond uses water, air, and land to aid in his escape.

From spiders to snakes, the inaugural films of Connery and Moore put James Bond to the test.

Geoffrey Holder is a highlight for me. He plays Baron Samedi to perfection.

I enjoy fights in close quarters. They require more creativity and have to use the space.
