Moonraker (1979)

  This falls under the Dumb But Cute category of Bond movies.  Just because your movie is set in space doesn't mean you can get all slap-happy with story and plot.

Bond (Roger Moore) is put on the case of the missing space shuttle, Moonraker, and flies out to California to visit the shuttle manufacturer Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), who reeks of villainry.

Seriously, it's like he went to a Kim Jong Il's tailor.  Anyway, Drax allows Bond free access to his facilityand sends his manservant to quietly kill him.  Meanwhile, Bond meets astronaut and head scientist Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) and giggles like a schoolboy over her name.  Forget the fact that the woman is a highly-trained member of an incredibly select sub-group of scientists, let's chortle over her name sounding dirty.  After Bond learns nothing at Drax's place, he wanders over to Venice and discovers a glassblower's shop that doubles as a lab.  He also bumps into Dr. Goodhead again and, surprise, she's working for the CIA.  Drax gets fed up with Bond nosing around and hires Jaws (Richard Kiel), the metal-toothed giant from The Spy Who Loved Me, to get rid of the MI6 agent for good.  Jaws catches up to them in Rio but manages to meet a sweet pig-tailed blond (Blanche Ravalec) and fall head over heels.  Then space happens.  Bond and Goodhead (ugh, I hate typing that) uncover Drax's cunning plan to fly a bunch of hot people into his space station --hidden by radar, of course-- and hit the redo button on Earth by launching globes filled with nerve gas onto the planet. 

This is Rob's favorite movie of the series, just for sheer silliness.  I was less amused but I did like that they fleshed out Richard Kiel's character.  He's much more entertaining here and even gets a line of dialogue.  You can definitely see some Star Wars influence with the laser guns and the astronaut battle but it comes across as very dated and campy now.  Not the best of the Bond series by any means, but at least it wasn't horribly offensive.
