 Joining
Moore was "Golden Gun"s Maud Adams, Louis Jourdan, Kristana Wayborn, and Robert
Brown replacing the late Bernard Lee as M. All in all, the movie is quite a
mixed bag. It sports a truly thrilling teaser sequence featuring Bond's aerial
evasion of a heat-seeking missile in a tiny one-man jet. Following the main
titles, the movie continues to earn high marks with a terrific scene in which a
British agent, disguised as a circus clown, is stalked by assassins, A fair
amount of suspense is created much later in the movie when Bond, similarly
disguised, struggles to stop an Atomic bomb from exploding. The movie's final
stretch is an incredible chain of non-stop action sequences as Bond chases the
villainous Kamal Khan (Jourdan) on train, plane and automobile. |
