Starring: Roger Moore, Michael Lonsdale, Lois Chiles, Richard Kiel
Moonraker is the eleventh Bond film, and the fourth to star Roger Moore. In the movie Bond is sent to investigate the theft of a space shuttle. He follows the trail of clues from California to Venice, Rio de Janeiro, and the Amazon rain forest. Finally Bond and his female companion (Dr. Holly Goodhead) eventually ending up in outer space battling the evil Hugo Drax and foiling his plans to destroy humanity and create a master race.
The midnight movie session:
I remember watching Moonraker as a child and being absolutely petrified of Jaws. There was something about his lumpy head that disturbed me. Now I know that the actor suffers from a form of gigantism called acromegaly, which explains his unusual appearance. However there’s no room for political correctness in the nightmares of a eight year old.
Now this was Jaws’ second outing in a Bond film is that right?
Yes, he was in The Spy Who Loved Me although apparently he was a lot less comedic in that one. Not that I found him very funny when I was eight. And is it me or is that woman he hooks up with more disturbing than he is?
OK I’m talking ahead of myself now (I’m going home tonight to watch the rest of the film now as I need to be able to discuss this), but isn’t she small? The whole irony of how Jaws and this tiny woman didn’t fit in the ‘perfect society’.
Yes she’s small. And she has pigtails, freaky pig tails. To be honest I’m sort of with Hugo Drax – these people have no place in society.
Did I just advocate genocide then? I think I did. I think I just advocated genocide. Maybe this Midnight Movie thing is not such a good idea after all
However scary I found Moonraker, it pales into insignificance when compared to Live and Let Die. I still refuse to watch that movie. That Baron Samedi is going to come for my liver one night, I just know it.
I’m sitting here watching the movie as I type this and I have to say that they weren’t even trying anymore with the name Dr. Holly Goodhead!? I mean they have thrown innuendo out the window with these names!!!
Sorry I’ll go back to watching the movie.
I think they could have at least given her the first name of “Givessomemightyfine”
I’m actually rolling around on the floor laughing, it’s not just an interwebz saying people!! I’m living this.
Oh yeah it should be explained too that these midnight sessions aren’t going to read like your average review, I’m sure I’ll be the worst for it but I’m just going to be blurting stuff out as I think of it and often whilst watching the movie. Sometimes Dan will have already watched it and I’ll be catching up or vice versa (we have different midnights)
No doubt it will give many of you headaches, I suggest then just reading Dan’s bits which I’m sure will be much more coherant.
To be honest I’m just planning on writing my own independent post and simply cutting and pasting it whenever Lee stops typing. It’s roughly the same method of communication I use within my marriage.
Ironically my method of blurting random things out is generally how i communicate in my marriage too, Tracey is a very patient woman.
Speaking of cutting and pasting: It’s not the most popular choice, but Roger Moore has always been my favorite Bond. While others criticise his reign for being too frivolous, I find the lighthearted tone and heavy use of slapstick very enjoyable. Moore has a delightful twinkle in his eye that no other Bond has ever managed to replicate in my opinion.
Saying that, Moonraker takes the buffoonery to a level of ridiculousness that even I have difficulty swallowing. I mean what on earth was going on with that Venetian gondola/hovercraft? Especially the gold tassels on the air cushion!?
So I’m through the movie – I rushed home to watch it completely simply because Dan was showing off his tassels knowledge and I got jealous.
I must say that I thought I would cringe more (is that a shameful pun) when watching Roger Moore’s Bond, simply because I remember him being so tongue in cheek and I haven’t watched one of his for years. But I found myself really enjoying his snappy British wit, particulary in the g force machine when Goodhead tells him that a 70 year old could withstand 3 g and he replies that that’s the problem, there’s never a 70 year old around when you need one.
*snigger* “Goodhead”. Actually if you watch closely there is occasional bursts of dark menace in Moores performance, almost worthy of Daniel Craig. However it could just have just been indigestion of course.
No I SO get what you are saying, even before when I hadn’t watched the whole movie there were flashes of seriousness that probably explain why he was brought back so many times as James Bond.
It certainly wasn’t ALL wink wink nudge nudge
I’m also thinking about the scene where Drax sets his dogs onto the woman who helped Bond take a look in the safe. That’s quite a brutal scene.
Where was I before I got serious?? That’s right LOL gold tassles – I’m more concerned over the pigeon doing the double take, I mean what a truly rediculous thing to include in the film, and that gondola that has to be up the with the worst of the Bond vehicles, I mean really, next they’ll have a diamond encrusted yo-yo that slices people’s heads off… nevermind.
The reference though to Bond throwing his hat, when he does so on the gondola is kind of neat if you are a Bond nut which I’m not but I seem to remember a huge amount about very trivial things. In the earlier movies when hats where still in style Bond would throw his hat across the room and have it land on the hat stand, presumably to impress Moneypenny. So that was nice if you are looking far too much into things.
I didn’t notice the double taking pigeons. But then you do have a bit of a thing about anthropomorphised animals. Didn’t you start sending Lucas death threats after the CGI gophers in the new Indiana Jones film?
And rightly so, in my defence.
NIT PICK!!! I have to declare a nit pick, at the start of the film when the Moonraker shuttle breaks away from the 747 jumbo, look I’m a spaceship geek – that’s not how space shuttles work!?!?! You can’t fly one off the back of a 747.
Can you do it off a 748?
Well a 748 is a different story… no. Even if you were to actually fly it off the back of the plane the shuttle is not very aerodynamic – apparently it handles like a falling brick.
It should also be noted that as I worked my way through the film this not the only implausible concept I encountered, I’ll try and keep it to a dull roar though.
Random thought too, I can’t stress how much I enjoy the James Bond gun barrel stuff at the start of the film. It’s an institution.
Geek alert – using the tones from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind was awesome. If not entirely cheesy and an admission that the franchise was trying to get some of that sweet sweet scifi money that was all the rage at the time.
Apparently the next film scheduled to be made was actually For Your Eyes Only, not Moonraker, but after 1977′s Star Wars the producers decided that a space theme might be more financially lucrative. It worked too; Moonraker was the highest grossing Bond film until Goldeneye came along.
Wow I would have thought Octopussy or even A View to a Kill would have made more money, I certainly remember them the most but I suspect that has more to do with my age than box office.
So I really liked how Jaws fell in love with the young lady who was not even half as freakish as you described, I was expecting an Oompa Loompa or a Jawa but she wasn’t freaky at all except for the pig tails.
But I like Jaws and Bond coming to an agreement and then Jaws swapping sides because in Drax land he would not have a place. I was a little confused about his girlfriend though, was she working for Drax originally or did Jaws get her the gig?
I can’t let the comment from Bond slide though when he says that Jaws and his lady friend will be OK because it is only 100 miles to Earth… ARGGGGG. They did have NASA back then?!?! I mean I know there was no Wikipedia but surely they could have fact checked something in a book, or rang someone?!?
I’ll let all the lasers go, I think it was a stretch, but we were firmly in fantasy land…
Erm….excuse my ignorance, but what’s wrong with it being 100 miles from earth?
Well the international Space Station sits around 200 to 240 miles from Earth, but consider falling even a mile in a chunk of space station. That’s not cool, that’s going to leave a mark when you land.
But he’s Jaws. He’ll probably bite through the atmosphere or something. Anyway they were rescued by the good guys a the end, it said so over the radio whilst Bond and Goodhead were joining the 240 mile high club.
Incidentally I read something about sex in zero gravity the other day. It was saying that it isn’t quite as romantic as you’d imagine. Something to do with all the squelchy bits floating around in a rather unnerving manner.
So final thoughts: Watching it as an adult I enjoyed Moonraker quite a bit more than I thought I would, given its reputation. The complete lack of plot irritated me at times, as it just seemed to jump from one set piece to another. But overall I think it stands up pretty well considering it’s age and the restraints on special effects at the time.
My final thoughts are that I’m surprised how well this holds up, I have to admit to remembering very little of the film so it all felt fairly new to me. There were a LOT of space shuttles and frankly that will get me over the line everytime! One thing which was more than obvious is that this is where Mike Myers drew a lot of inspiration Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me and so it was kind of nice seeing the origin of that.
Also we got to see a cool space battle!
My double shot soy flat white rating is 6 cups out a possible 10
What the hell is a double shot soy flat white!? I’ll agree with you on the rating, but go for more traditional source of caffeine: 6 out of a possible 10 cans of diet coke.
@Lee, I had always heard that he was a victim of the depressing ending of the movie (which I will not spoil for Dan who appears not to have seen this.)
@JJ Daddy-O, that easily could be the case too, I only have a vague sense of having read that somewhere and even then they may have been joking about him telling them to go get stuffed
@Dan, I have always ranked it in the top third of the pack- Lazenby plays it pretty straight, without all the smirky-ness of Moore (although he does seem to provide some of the basis for the randyness of Austin Powers), Diana Rigg is a total tomato, and the plot is toward the more gritty/realistic end of the scale (for a Bond movie).
@Dan, don’t feel bad, I haven’t watched the Lazenby Bond film either. I’ll let you give it a whirl first and you can let me know if it’s worth bothering with
@Kevin Spencer, I’ve avoided the film for years, having heard such dreadful things about lazenby, but I really really enjoyed it. Diana Rigg was awesome (easily my favourite bond girl) and Lazenby really wasn’t that bad.
OK, so it was the Enterprise, and no engines blazing, but it was certainly maneuverable!
OK, lunatic rant over! Love the format, gentlemen! It was a great read! Now to dig out The Great Muppet Caper to get me in the mood for next week’s LaDMMC!!!
@ESSGEETHREE, LOL allow me to nit-pick your nit-pick of my nit-pick. The footage that you’ve linked to is of the Enterprise which whilst it was the first space shuttle was not a space going vehicle as it had no workable engines or heat shield – what you’re seeing there is a controlled test of the gliding landing and not a generally feasible manoeuvre.
When a shuttle is transported or ‘ferried’ it doesn’t have any active fuel cells and no electrical systems active. There are also no explosive bolts to separate the shuttle from the 747 mid air (except in the initial tests with the Enterprise).
The 747 used in the original tests also had a longer nose strut to allow for the separation seen in that video. The one in the film actually ignites its engines and flies off of the 747 in a completely different move.
Conceivably Drax could have retro fitted everything to do that but I think that would be a stretch as even after separation you can barely control the descent and therefore would be pretty easy to spot.
At that altitude you would also be essentially in crash landing mode. Which the shuttles don’t perform particularly well at (one would have to assume since it has never really been done).
So you can settle down and save your ire for next week when I nit pick Animal’s ability to chew through metal.
@Lee, Now wait a minute… are you trying to tell me that Superman Returns was using BS science for their ultra-cool shuttle action scene? Say it ain’t so!
[...] first film we’re looking at this week is the classic late seventies Bond movie Moonraker. In our review I advocate genocide, Lee rants about space shuttles, and we both do a lot of sniggering about the [...]
I really like the Wave-Blog thing you did here! It really fits the double-review format. It adds a bit more than just a realtime chatlog would because you can distinguish different subjects.
Oh and you really haven’t seen this movie much more often? I think I saw this movie at least 5 times between my 12th and 18t birthday. But then again..we watched it on the Dutch, German ánd British tv channels.
@Dan, @ Lee
I take offence to that, I try to follow Merlin at the air-time on bbc on saturday nights. Just like old times, just flicking to the right channel.
@tysdaddy, you know Jaws never really scared me as a child at all, I think I saw him first in Cannonball Run though and that might have desensitised me to any fear factor he might have had
Of course one has to wonder what damage seeing Cannonball Run as a young child might have done to me also.
Awesomeness all around. I recently watched Goldfinger for the first time in ages and was struck by how, well, quaint is seemed. Moonraker, though, now that was pure silliness but not nearly as awful as View to a Kill, the definite nadir of Bond films. The video Duran Duran made for the theme song was far superior to that tripe.
@always home and uncool, I watched Dr No only recently and was surprised at some of the really basic sets. Fortunately Dr No as a film is strong enough to overcome any of that and I found it more charming than distracting (similar I guess to your own experience with Goldfinger).
I was thinking that if I had to pick a really scary Bond villain I would have picked Grace Jones!
Moonraker was the one of the first films I watched on our brand spanking new VHS video recorder when I was a wee nipper. I got really excited when I realized I could just rewind the tape and watch it again. So I did.
I think your choice of who the *real* James Bond is depends on who you watched growing up. That, for me, would be Roger Moore. Mind you, compared with Daniel Craig’s Bond, I can’t really see Moore being able to fight his way out of a paper bag.
@Kevin Spencer, You’re right in that your favorite Bond tends to be the one you grew up with. Just like your favorite Dr Who (although my allegiance has switched to Tenent)
Moore as best Bond – agree.
Moonraker – one of the worst Bonds I think
Muppets – fab; Treasure Island movie especially.

@Mark, I don’t think we’ve thrown any Carry On or Hammer films on to the list of potential movies yet (it’s a super secret list that we guard with our very lives)so we’ll just have to see.
@Clair, The Great Muppet Caper was chosen weeks ago before we realised that Christmas was indeed just around the bend. We do have a special Christmas movie edition planned for that week though!
A fun start to your new blog. I still don’t understand what Google Wave is, but at my age I’m supposed to be clueless about these new technologies. So, you apparently use it to watch old movies with, huh? Cool.
Count me in as also being scared by that Jaws character as a kid. The Spy Who Loved Me was my first Bond film, at the age of 12. Barbara Bach also scared me, but for entirely different reasons.
That was an interesting way to read a review: not quite disorganized…
When you were talking about getting all the sci-fi money, I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention the Star Wars-esque text overlay at the end of the trailer. Talk about blatant!
