This is definitely the best Moore-as-Bond film. It cut a lot of the camp and replaced it with an actual plot that almost made sense. The only really shitty part of this movie was the editing. John Glen did the editing for On Her Majesty's Secret Service too, which also had some problems in that regard.Anyway, this adventure sees Bond (Roger Moore) teamed up with his Russian counterpart, Agent XXX (Barbara Bach). She can't emote worth a damn, but that's okay because she might have the best rack --shape, not size-- of all the Bond girls so far, although Diana Rigg's were pretty amazing.
I might be slightly drunk right now. I can neither confirm nor deny.
So, a Russian and a British nuclear sub go missing. Agents 007 and XXX are sent to Cairo to investigate. They figure out that the evil mastermind behind the plot is Karl Stromberg (Curd Jurgens), who wants to build an underwater paradise for people to live by making the surface all radioactive. Really, he's a humanitarian.
He has two main henchmen, Sandor (Milton Reid) who dies too fast to care about, and Jaws (Richard Kiel), a 7-ft tall giant with metal teeth. I kind of wish he had gotten his own spin-off movie. But really, a guy who can be in both Cannonball Run II and Happy Gilmore is all right in my book.
I digress. Stromberg, underwater city, nuclear warheads, blah blah blah. There's a submarine car and did I mention Barbara Bach is freakin' hot?
