You guys are nuts. MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is awful, yes, but it's so bad it's good. Bringing back the sheriff from LIVE AND LET DIE for cheap cornball comic relief was a sure sign the series was deperate. The Roger Moore Bond films are definitely the worst, but they hit their all-time low with MOONRAKER. Jaws gets a girlfriend! Your highlight moments, Mike, in MWtGG, have no equivalent in MOONRAKER. It is bad all the way through.
Moonraker has a few good moment in it.
1.It is not an unwatchable movie, IMO.
2. The opening sequence, while short on realism, was still very exciting, If you take out the Jaws ripchord fiasco.
3. The scene where Drax's dobeman's kill that woman was a very good scene.
4. Bond killing that sniper on Drax's compound "Such good sport" line was funny.
5. The "G force" simulator was a very good scene as well. Almost reminiscent of a similar scene in Thunderball
6. The wrist shooter remains as one of the most practical and probably more useful bond gadgets.
7. Although some people hate the use of the "Close Encounters" theme in Moonraker, it kind is an amusing homage in a way. Not that annoying, IMO.
8. As an average B movie actioner it is enjoyable. We've seen worse.
9. The python attack, was kind of interesting, even Moore's pun wasn't that bad. It had good comedic timing to it.
I guess it is a toss-up between which is worse, Moonraker or The Man with the Golden Gun. They both are low end Bond films IMO. Still, I would watch both movies again.
BT I think the so bad it's good phrase is an overused saying. A bad movies is only watchable when the MST3K crew is there for commentary
