But I have a feeling there was one with Jews, and he bit one of the wires...?
Zooo you're nascent antisemitism doesn't half annoy.
But you're thinking of Moonraker andthat's a cable car in lovely sunny Brazil.

I shall have to go back an revisit Roger Moore's Bond at some point.
I watched bits of From Russia with Love and You only live twice over the weekend.
And was surprised at how hokey some of the scenes were and how poor the lines were.
Compared to the Ipcress file they were markedly inferior.
I've only seen The Ipcress File once, years ago but remember enjoying that.
It's a genuinely lovely film with a young Micheal Caine as gorgeous and mysterious as David Bowie in the Man who fell to earth.
I'm not sure what my favourite scene is; either the one in the supermarket or the one where he pulls some bird.
BY COOKING HER A FACKING OMLETTE!
But yeh good sleazy fun and better really than any Bond.
I love the young Michael Caine. I remember a few years ago the BBC had a Caine season and I must have watched a weeks worth of his films back to back

Michael Caine was just the coolest, The Italian Job, Get Carter, Gambit, Alfie, The Ipcress File, a handbook to cool.
I recently watched a filmed biog of Eddie Chapman starring a young Christopher Plummer, and all I could think of was how much cooler Michael Caine would have been the part.

Great film, but you are right that would have been better casting. I've read a fair bit about Chapman and seen some interviews with him, he was a real jack the lad and Caine would have fitted the part to perfection. Plummer is far to buttoned up and posh
I started to watch Star Trek, got bored put Rise Of The Planet of The Apes on instead and quite enjoyed it

It's a great film - "NO!" - but I don't know why they didn't just call it Rise Of The Apes. Much pithier.
Yes, it is a bit of a mouthful.
Watched Thunderball the other day. Incredibly sexist, you couldn't get away with that today. Bond comes across as a sex pest who blackmails women into having sex with him. Say what you want about Roger Moore but he always charmed the ladies into bed.
James Bond is a tosser basically isn't he?
Smarmy, arrogant, letching creapy arsehole
Quit chatting birds up and do your job ya bitch
