Best ever Roger Moore Bond

[shingle]

Best Bond along with Pierce Brosnan

Re Poll.

Its a toss up between A View To A Kill, and Octopussy and If pushed I'll go for Octopussy.

Anyone who's been to Udapiur in India will have seen Octopussy every night of their stay as it is shown in every hotel and cafe nightly. It was partly filmed here and the locals are very proud of this

 

[Jam The Man]

Every actor to fill the role has made at least one belter as 007..
For me it's:

Connery: Goldfinger / From Russia With Love
Moore: L&LD / Golden Gun
Lazenby:.erm.... OHMSS
Dalton: Living Daylights
Brosnan: World Is Not Enough

 

[Il Duce]

Spy Who Loved Me: XXX was highly XXXXable; great fight scenes; ships that eat submarines; cars turning into submarines; Jaws; Stromberg's underwater palace; the pyramids; the lot. But mainly because of XXX.

 

[dougdeep]

Live and let die, the music was the best too.

 

[wigman]

The spy who loved me!

 

[Frutos]

I'll go for the one where he defeats the bad guy against all the odds, saves the world from certain disaster/annihilation and cops off with the girl as well.

 

[defrocked priest]

Live And Let Die: great boat chase and Sheriff Pepper steals the scene.
The Spy Who Loved Me/For Your Eyes Only: Moores best performances.

The Man With The Golden Gun:A villianous midget?
Moonraker: Miss Goodhead,'nuff said.

 

[Happy Seagull]

Octopussy today at 2.30.

 

[Rambo]

It has to be Live and Let Die, for the speedboat chase alone.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Moonraker by a country mile.

 

[Spiros]

Hard choice, as he's the worst Bond by a country mile, but I'd probably go for The Spy Who Loved Me, as it at least has a semblance of espionage amidst the corny gags a whackey characters.

No - the worst was George Lazenby. Timothy Dalton wasn't much cop either. In fact anyone other than Sean Connery was second best at the most

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Live and Let die was the best
Goldeneye second
Casino Royale third

Moore was the best Bond.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Live and Let die was the best
Goldeneye second
Casino Royale third

Moore was the best Bond.

Casino Royale, had to be the worst Bond in living memory.

 

[The Large One]

No - the worst was George Lazenby. Timothy Dalton wasn't much cop either. In fact anyone other than Sean Connery was second best at the most

Timothy Dalton was the most authentic James Bond is as much as he played the role far more in the style that Ian Fleming had written him.

 

[Spiros]

Timothy Dalton was the most authentic James Bond is as much as he played the role far more in the style that Ian Fleming had written him.

But Dalton just wasn't very good to watch. Sean Connery played it very close to Fleming's Bond in Dr No but still managed to include some character

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Casino Royale, had to be the worst Bond in living memory.

Have you gone totally insane ?.

 

[The Large One]

Have you gone totally insane ?.

He could be talking about the first one, starring David Niven.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Not only is TSWLM Moore's best Bond film but it is also Alan Partridge's best ever sketch. Cool.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

No - the worst was George Lazenby.

Hard to believe for some people but Lazenby was quite popular at the time and actually CHOSE to quit the role as he didn't think the series would last into the 70's.

He certainly would've been better suited to the role than Roger 'kisses like a fish and doesn't know one end of a walther from the other' Moore.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

A couple of things about the casting of Roger Moore. Although considered the quintessential Englishman to fulfil the Bond role, he originally turned down Diamonds Are Forever in 1971 (or rather he had to turn it down - he was contracted to do 'The Persuaders' at the time), as did Timothy Dalton (considered too young at the time), when he eventually took it up, it was because Sean Connery (who didn't want to do any more anyway) was considered too old to do it. So they cast Roger Moore - two years older than Connery.

Also he was considered for Dr No as well...but was contracted to do The Saint.

While on the subject Pierce Brosnan was orginally first choice for the first Dalton but the tv company actually made another series of Remington Steele to stop him taking the role...

Brosnan has since said he felt he would have been too young then anyway.

Fleming originally touted David Niven...
