a5c7b9f00b James Bond is back for another mission and this time, he is blasting off into space. A spaceship traveling through space is mysteriously hi-jacked and Bond must work quickly to find out who was behind it all. He starts with the rockets creators, Drax Industries and the man behind the organisation, Hugo Drax. On his journey he ends up meeting Dr. Holly Goodhead and encounters the metal-toothed Jaws once again.
A space shuttle called the Moonraker, built by Drax Industries, is on its way to the U.K when it is hijacked in mid-air and the crew of the 747 carrying it is killed. Bond immediately is called into action, and starts the investigation with Hugo Drax himself. While at the Drax laboratories, Bond meets the brilliant & stunning Dr. Holly Goodhead, a NASA astronaut & CIA agent who is investigating Drax for the U.S. Government. One of Drax's thugs, the sinister Chan, attempts to kill 007 at the lab but when that fails, he follows Bond to Venice and tries again there. Bond & Goodhead follow Drax's trail to Brazil, where they once again run into the 7' Goliath Jaws, a towering giant with metal teeth. Escaping from him, they discover the existence of a huge space station undetected by U.S. or Soviet radar, and a horrible plot by Drax to employ nerve gas in a genocidal project! Bond & Holly must quickly find a way to stop Hugo Drax before his horrific plans can be put into effect…
Things started so well for this instalment in the Bond series, there was an effective villain in the form of Michael Lonsdale's Hugo Drax with his dry Goldfinger like witticisms and evil demeanour, an excellent Bond Girl in the form of NASA and CIA agent Holly Goodhead who provided an intelligent and strong opposite character for Bond and marked the welcome start of a trend towards more dominant and strong willed Bond girls.<br/><br/>We even had excellent touches suchQ and his most infamous closing line, the return of old favourite Jaws and plethora of scantily clad beauties naturally.<br/><br/>However there are bad points - two powerboat chases in this film make for a total of four near identical action sequences in the last three instalments, the space effects are laughable (the flimsiest space station ever built surely?) and don't even mention the scientific holes and "zero gravity" sequences!<br/><br/>Sadly this also marked the passing of long term resident Bernard LeeM although he maintained a distinguished presence throughout and we will always be thankful for the wonderful contribution he has made over the years.<br/><br/>If you can hold your disbelief and maybe squint a bit at the space sequences then this is more than passable but should have been much better.
What can i say about Moonraker? The 11th film in the James Bond series, directed by Lewis Gilbert in his final Bond film.<br/><br/>The film starts with a space shuttle being transported on a Boeing 747 by the RAF. (Second appearance of Kim Fortune. He played the British navy crew member in TSWLM, who is gunned down in the climactic battle in the finale.) The shuttle is stolen in mid air and James Bond has to find it. Before that, we get a thrilling set piece, where Bond is pushed out of a plane by Jaws, without a parachute. I wish they'd do stunts like that today! The title song, by Shirley Bassey, isn't my favourite because the lyrics make no sense! What is a Moonraker? Shirley's voice is haunting, though.<br/><br/>There is a memorable sequence, where Bond is stuck in a centrifuge training machine and the emergency stop switch has been disconnected. Roger's Bond usually comes away from scrapes without a scratch, but on this occasion, he's really shaken up. That's a nice change.<br/><br/>Michael Lonsdale is brilliantHugo Drax. A French businessman, who wants to commit global genocide and repopulate the earth with genetically perfect specimens.<br/><br/>Lois Chiles plays Holly Goodhead, the lead Bond girl. She's wooden, but she's nice to look at.<br/><br/>The late great, Richard Kiel returnsJaws, in his final appearance in the Bond series. There is a surprising development in the character of Jaws. I won't spoil it for you though.<br/><br/>Fantastic score by John Barry, one of his best!<br/><br/>10/10
Moonraker is mercifully much better than recent Bondage, with fantastic special effects, some excellent buffery (cracks at Star Wars, Close Encounters, Clint Eastwood, to name but a few), and the usual location-hopping style that makes Versailles feel like Disneyland.
When the space shuttle Moonraker is hijacked in midair while being transported to the United Kingdom, MI6 director M (<a href="/name/nm0496866/">Bernard Lee</a>) assigns his best agent 007 James Bond (<a href="/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a>), to investigate, starting with the shuttle's creator Drax Industries, headed by billionaire Hugo Drax (<a href="/name/nm0003909/">Michael Lonsdale</a>). Aided by NASA astronaut/scientist and CIA agent Dr Holly Goodhead (<a href="/name/nm0001042/">Lois Chiles</a>), they uncover a genocidal plot to destroy the Earth's population and repopulate it with selected couples currently being housed in an undetectable space-city hovering over the Earth. All of the James Bond movies are based, in some part, upon novels by British author Ian Fleming [1908-1964]. Moonraker is based on Fleming's 1955 novel of the same title. It was adapted for the screen by English screenwriter Christopher Wood. Wood, in turn, novelized the movie in James Bond and Moonraker, published the same year in which the movie was released (1979). Moonraker is the eleventh film in the EON Bond franchise and the fourth movie to feature <a href="/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a>James Bond, 007. Moonraker is sung by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey, who is the only performer to date that has done more than one Bond theme. She also did the themes for Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. Bond starts out on an airplane returning to London from Africa, where he was just finishing the last leg of another mission. He is then sent to California in order to talk with Hugo Drax, the builder of the Moonraker that was hijacked in midair. There he meets Dr Holly Goodhead for the first ime. When Bond learns that some of the parts for Drax's Moonrakers are being made at the Venni Glassworks in Italy, he flies to Venice where he encounters Holly Goodhead again. Bond figures out that Holly is a CIA operative, and they decide to work together. They learn that Drax is moving his operation to Brazil, so they fly to Rio. After Bond discovers Drax's base in the Amazon jungle, he and Holly commandeer a Moonraker and end up in outer space. Drax is playing Raindrop Prelude, opus 28, number 15 in D flat Major, composed by Frédéric Chopin. In the DVD commentary, it says that the effect was created with high-pressure air jets through a thin nozzle on a tube held off camera by Roger Moore himself. Moore suffered bruising to his cheeks afterwards.As he explains to Bond, one of the six Moonrakers that were needed for him to complete his mission developed a fault during its assembly. He needed to get back the one that was on the way to England because he was breaking down his operation on Earth and didn't have time to fix the ship that developed the fault or build another Moonraker. According to a commercial raiser of snakes, it's a reticulated python, native to Africa. It's the theme song from <a href="/title/tt0054047/">The Magnificent Seven (1960)</a> (1960). During his fight with behind the glass-faced clock, Bond spots some large crates with the Drax Industries logo and Rio de Jainero stenciled on them. One of the crates is partially broken open and Bond spots one of the globes he saw in the laboratory inside it. Bond and Holly knock out the pilots for the sixth Moonraker and take their place. Flying on a preset course, they eventually rendezvous with the other Moonrakers at a radar-cloaked space station where Drax has assembled numerous pairs of perfect people whom he intends to use to restart the human race. Bond and Holly disable the radar jammer in order to make the station visible from earth. The U.S. subsequently sends a military shuttle to investigate. Meanwhile, Drax has launched the first three of 50 globes carrying the deadly nerve toxin to earth in his attempt to wipe out the imperfect human race. A laser battle in space takes place when the military shuttle arrives, and Bond manages to eject Drax into space after shooting him with a cyanide-tipped dart. The space station begins to break up, so Bond and Holly attempt to get away in Drax's personal Moonraker, but they can't get the release work. Jaws (<a href="/name/nm0001423/">Richard Kiel</a>), having been convinced to turn sides when Bond points out that Drax won't allow him and Dolly (<a href="/name/nm0712255/">Blanche Ravalec</a>) to live in his perfect world, agrees to help and frees the Moonraker. As the space station begins to disintegrate around Jaws and Dolly, their module also detaches from the station; they go floating into space just before the space station explodes. Bond and Holly track down the three globes and destroy them. In the final scene, M has gotten visual contact with Bond's Moonraker. Bond and Holly are seen floating in space with only a sheet to cover their naked bodies. "I think he's attempting re-entry," says Q. Bond flicks off the camera, and Holly asks him to "take [her] around the world one more time." After Bond destroys the last globe, a Houston controller states that the American shuttle rescued two survivors "a tall man and a short, blonde woman", indicating that Jaws and Dolly did indeed survive. Bond comes across Drax when M has Bond expose hima card cheat. Drax has a red beard that covers scarring on his face. The Moonraker is a missile instead of a space shuttle. Jaws and Chang aren't in the book. Dr.Holly Goodhead is instead a Scotland Yard agent named Galatea "Gala" Brand. Drax turns out to be a Nazi named Graf Hugo von der Drache and the Moonraker is secretly aimed to hit London. Drache captures James and Gala and plans to cook them with the Moonraker's rockets. They escape and James changes the gyros then he and Gala hide in the shower turned on full blast. Drache escapes in a Russian submarine but a reprogrammed Moonraker blows him out of the water. Bond and Gala are exiled to France until the event blows over but Gala reveals to Bond that she's engaged to marry another man. Including Moonraker, Moore made seven movies in which he played James Bond: <a href="/title/tt0070328/">Live and Let Die (1973)</a> (1973), <a href="/title/tt0071807/">The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)</a> (1974), <a href="/title/tt0076752/">The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)</a> (1977), Moonraker (1979), <a href="/title/tt0082398/">For Your Eyes Only (1981)</a> (1981), <a href="/title/tt0086034/">Octopussy (1983)</a> (1983), and <a href="/title/tt0090264/">A View to a Kill (1985)</a> (1985).
