Golden, Golden, Golden Bond

Advantages: 3 Great Films
Disadvantages: Rather expensive RRP on them in comparsion

Golden, Golden, Golden. Undoubtedly 3 of the best Bonds. First of all theres Goldfinger featuring evil arch villain (you guessed it) Goldfinger, has a strange obsession of murdering people by covering them in solid gold paint. Will Goldfinger succeed in his attempt to rob Fort Knox, surely not, but hey, it's Bond... anything can happen. The Second Golden film, this time, is the Man With the Golden Gun. Here new Bond Roger Moore, takes on new villain ...
...uses a Golden Gun. So when Bond receives a bullet with his name on from him, things start to get a bit heated. Will Scaramanga succeed in assassinating Bond, or will he be made to bite the "bullet". The third Golden Bond is Golden Eye, this sees yet another new Bond, Pierce Brosnan, star in his debut film. Things look bad for Bond when his best friend 006 appears to be assassinated. After a massive electromagnetic pulse, is set off, Bind goes in ...

No Moore please, this one bored the Living Daylights Out of Me!

Advantages: Erm................good theme tune
Disadvantages: Weak acting, story was far fetched at time, bad effects and fight scenes

Well it seems quite strange to say that hubby chose this film as it does not star John Wayne but I have to say I think I would have perhaps preferred him to this drivel I had to endure. Roger Moore takes on the role of 007, James Bond in this film. He is set to uncover the mysterious deaths of 005 and 006 and soon he finds he is tracking a drug lord. He stars off in New York where he is chased and threaten but during this he meets Solitaire, a tarot ...
...things which are about to happen, who he instantly find attractive. Bond soon finds his investigations lead him to Louisiana’s Bayou Country where he uncovers some very powerful men and again he meets Solitaire and vows to help her escape from the Drug Lord. Will Bond be able to save himself from the drug Lord and his men and will he be able to help Solitaire? Now I know the plot summery which I have been given sound very brief but taking away Bond ...

...team up to race in the Cannonball run. With numerous different teams entering the competition is high! Created by Hal Needham the director of Smokey And The Bandit in which he worked with Burt Reynolds twice in 1977 and 1980 with the first two Bandit films. Working together again they produce another adrenalling rushing film full of car racing and car chasing antics! Racing From Coast to Coast in America at high speeds in high powered cars each ...

Roger Moore's last outing as Bond at 57!!!

Advantages: Great fast paced action
Disadvantages: Moore too old, too much killing

...003's corpse, Bond picks up a microchip which is an exact replica of one manufactured by Zorin Industries, owned by the eccentric businessman, Max Zorin. Bond goes undercover to meet Zorin and finds out that he is producing a revolutionary microchip, and that in order to conquer the microchip market, he is planning to destroy Silicon Valley through a series of earthquakes. Bond must team up with oil company owner Stacey Sutton to take on Zorin, his ...
...ease. Patrick Macnee gives a good turn as a very British horse trainer, Sir Godfrey Tibbett, and Tanya Roberts is good as Bond girl Stacey Sutton, as is Fiona Fullerton as Pola Ivanova. David Yip has a cameo performance. Robert Brown, Desmond Llewelyn and Lois Maxwell return as M, Q and Miss Moneypenny, and the rest of the cast support admirably. My Opinion The soundtrack to this Bond ilm haunts me, probably due to the title track, performed by ...

On a Quest to find something worth watching, maybe?

Advantages: The fighting
Disadvantages: Everything else

...has made some howlers, but the one thing that remains impressive throughout his films, as far as I am concerned, is the level of fight choreography. A trained martial artist, JC makes sure there are at least some elements of his films that are entertaining, and The Quest is no exception. It starts off with an old guy (JC) walking into a bar and foiling a robbery with what is supposed to be incredible martial arts. It the reverts to him telling the ...
...set in the 1920s, where he managed to enter an invitation only tournament in order to win a load of money for the homeless kids back in New York. The film focuses too much on the back story in the early parts, and while it shows the progression of fighting skills, it dawdles too much on this and leaves not enough time for actual fighting. What we see of the fighting skills is impressive. The inclusion of a world wide invitation gives us a chance ...
