Action & Adventure > Moore, Roger Action & Adventure > up to 5 GBP

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 ...

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 ...

Review of The Quest (DVD)

Takes a giant leap for mankind

Advantages: Roger Moores biggest adventure as Bond
Disadvantages: Made in 1979, looks dated in parts

...that had not been used, Moonraker seemed the most appropriate for the time. ---The Source--- The title comes from Ian Flemings’ third Bond novel. Moonraker was released in April 1955. In the story Bond is asked, as a personal favour to M, to expose a member of the exclusive gentlemen's club called Blades, this person is suspected of cheating at cards. The man’s name is Hugo Drax; he is the Head of Britain's Moonraker rocket program. The stakes ...
...the end of the Inside Moonraker documentary there are a number of bloopers shown, which are quite rare. It also discusses the fact that this was the first time that a Bond production was based outside of Pinewood Studios; in fact this film was made mainly in France. The documentary shows what problems were faced with a different cultural way of working, and what was done to resolve the issues and move on. The documentaries that go behind the scenes ...

Review of Moonraker (DVD)

Gary Fenn = Simon Templar

Advantages: Swinging 60's
Disadvantages: Looks dated

...Leigh Vance the writer of Crossplot has done with this piece. And if that is the case then this was a victory and a very solid one as well. Music wise it has an upgrade from the standard ITC music and has a jazz/swing feel in parts and the correct approach taken on fight scenes with an up-tempo hard hitting sound. I first saw this as a kid and was riveted throughout the 96 minutes of the film as I saw places I recognised such as Westminster Bridge ...
...story as I can now see this on an entirely different level, although I was not exactly riveted to my seat as I was when I was a kid, I still enjoyed the film but saw the film from a different perspective entirely. ---The Cast--- There are three main characters throughout the film itself…. Roger Moore plays Gary Fenn, for Moore this was a walk in the park with his eyes shut as he is effectively playing the role of Simon Templar without the Brylcreem, ...
