#A view to a kill bond girl movie
I could call my friends, say “you are not going to believe this shit,” have a movie night, and make popcorn. Don’t get me wrong–this is not a good movie. Like I said, nothing about A View to a Kill should work. It doesn’t take long for Bond to discover that Zorin plans to destroy Silicon Valley using, um, earthquakes, in order to control the world’s microchip market. Of course, it just so happens that Zorin is having a big party for horse race enthusiasts, which leads to a whole lot of shenanigans as 007 investigates, is discovered, and escapes. Given the similarities, it would appear that Zorin has been double-timing British Intelligence by handing his technology to the Russians as well. The microchip, stolen from the KGB, is a perfect match for a prototype Q had commissioned from Zorin Industries, a vast conglomerate run by super-wealthy playboy Max Zorin. Are you seeing what I mean about the camp levels being dangerous? In the pre-title sequence, 007 unearths a microchip from the dead 009’s body in Siberia, snowboards his way to safety while the Beach Boys blast across the soundtrack, then beds a comely assistant in a submarine disguised as an ice floe. Fun fact: producers initially wanted David Bowie instead of Walken, but he turned them down. And they actually say things to each other like “Wow! What a view.” “To a kill!!” THAT SHOULD NEVER WORK. I mean, the villains are played by none other than schlockmeisters Christopher Walken and Grace Jones (in a shameless attempt to appeal to the MTV generation). So, is A View to a Kill a fitting send-off for the Bondiest of 007 actors? A View to a Kill (1985)īy all rights, this movie should be a disaster of Moonraker proportions. To date, Roger Moore has raked up the most performances as James Bond with seven.
If the latter, Roger Moore is your man (and perhaps, if you can stomach it, one of Pierce Brosnan’s later efforts). If you like the former, check out a Sean Connery or Daniel Craig Bond movie. Whether or not you like him in the role really depends on how you like your 007: ruthless and cunning or quippy and amused.
He never really liked the serious subject matter. Camp was, after all, Roger Moore’s specialty whenever he donned the 007 tuxedo.
It is perhaps only fitting that Moore’s final go-round as James Bond is one of the campiest entries in the entire series. At 58 years old he was still spry and mischievous enough to carry off the part, but still, it was undeniably time for him to move on. With the Battle of the Bonds behind him, Roger Moore returned for one last time to portray James Bond, a role he had dominated for twelve years.
