Episode 99 — A View To a Kill: LIVE

Another Omission: When Bond and Tonya Roberts are leaving the mining room where they got their uniforms, Bond snarkily says to Roberts in her tightly fitting miners jumpsuit, "Pity you couldn't find one that fit." That was in reference to the fact that Roberts apparently threw an on-set fit about getting a jumpsuit that flattered her body instead of one that would logically be found at a construction/mining site. This was a point in filming where Moore and Roberts were not on friendly terms because of Roberts' primadona antics. -

Let me rephrase. Diamonds Are Forever is much more terrible. But both are bad movies. Die Another Day at least had the cool fight scene on the plane. Maybe it's because I'm younger but the Richard Branson blood diamond bad guy was much more fun than the Howard Hughes Vegas tycoon bad guy. I'm also upset because in On Her Majesty's Secret Service Bond has to do real spycraft to find Blofeldt but at the beginning of Diamonds are Forever he's just ripping girls' tops off and frightening people to find Blofeldt. Then he gets pulled to an apparently completely different case and, lo and behold, there's the man I was looking for all along! In Die Another Day he finds clues that sequentially lead him to the mysterious billionaire who it turns out is the bad guy he's been looking for. That one makes a little more sense. Granted, not a lot. -

Die Another Day is Diamonds Are Forever but much better. -

That might be what puts Diamonds are Forever ahead of For Your Eyes Only. -

Omission: It should also be mentioned that, not only is Roger Moore an older Bond than Connery when playing Bond, but Roger Moore was actually born three years earlier than Sean Connery, 1927 and 1930 respectively. So when Connery was too old to be believable in Diamonds are Forever, they hired an older man to play the role. -

The worst bond movie is either Diamonds are Forever or For Your Eyes Only. The worst bond girl's name is "Plenty O'Toole" (Named after her father, no doubt). George Lazenby's On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the best bond movie.
