The reason this chase sequence works so well? Not just the awesome stunts and masterful directing and editing. It stands apart because it's a beautifully WRITTEN piece.

[@stevehaller6332]

This is the only Bond movie I watched after Sean Connery was not James Bond , to me after someone else takes over the lead role of the main character it is not the same movie or tv show. But this just my opinion.

[@rmstitanic8163]

@@stevehaller6332 But it could be argued that Sean Connery wasn't the original first choice as James Bond. There was a number of actors that were considered before him, including Roger Moore. I know what you are saying. You kind of get used to a certain person playing a roll. But had James Bond not been offered to other actors after Sean Connery walked away from the part, then James Bond would have just ended. However, I'm worried about where they are going with the 007 roll in the future. I don't think it was a good idea to kill him off. Really stupid idea. And I don't like what I'm hearing about making him a different character just to fit in with modern day woke. If you change him, he is no longer James Bond. They have considered making a woman, black, gay, trans and God knows what else. Absolutely wrong. Ian Fleming I'm sure would be totally pissed off had he'd still been alive.

[@kenhoover1639]

Shortly after this film came out, Roger Moore published a Live And Let Die diary. There are lots of interesting facts in this book, such as Rodger Moore knocked out several front teeth in the filming of the scene when he lost control of his boat.

[@TraustiGeir]

Holy cow!

[@AbcAbc-ox6pg]

He lost some teeth? I didn't know that, unbelievable! I remember him in an interview when a reporter asked him if he got any injury when filming and he had to think a long time about it so I assumed there wasn't something serious 🤔

[@scottknode898]

Roger Moore also suffered from kidney stone attacks during filming of Live and Let Die and had to be hospitalized

[@thud9797]

The first things to be filmed for the movie was all the boat stuff so when they arrived in Louisiana in early 1973 the director had Roger begin to familiarize himself with the boats as he did most all the driving except obviously for the jumps. When he got into the jet boat there's a scene where he's going straight at speed then the bayou turns and with a jet you have to keep power in the turn or else it won't turn. Roger got in a little hot and instinctively pulled back on the throttle which is what you can't do so he ended up going straight and colliding with the dock and boathouse where some of the crew was. It was a hell of a collision and he was injured and took a couple weeks to recover. Luckily the first few weeks was filming all the boat scenes with minimal or no dialouge so although he was hurting, he got through it. I think the first scene filmed where he actually said anything was when he was idling in the marina and maybe says Hello Felix.

I've been there, born a raised in South Louisiana. Fished most of those bayous. Unfortunately, never saw anything like this. Probably for the best, no doubt would have scared all the fish away.

Live and let die, one of the great 1970's James Bond movies. The baddies were great, the lovely tarrot card player

[@dennisjump8655]

The great Yaphet Kotto as Katanga.. awesome.

[@bustyrandit]

The lovely Jane Seymore as Solitare in her 1st feature film

Sheriff J.W. Pepper...aka Clifton James......great actor and great soldier....highly decorated US infantryman in WW2....this scene with Sheriff Pepper never fails to entertain......"Jay UU...this feller's from London England and he's workin' with our boys in Washington...." Love it. Les Griffiths

I watched this in the theater when I was a kid. Great movie.

[@squidprince2456]

Best movie editing ever 😉

[@scootergeorge9576]

James Bond with a Dukes of Hazzard flair. The stunts were great! The movie? Well, my Mama said, "If you can't say something nice, say nothing."

In the guest role of Acting Sheriff Lester Crabbe in the episode “THE TREASURE OF HAZZARD”, and it turned out to be Confederate money.

Them old Chevys big 454 my day had a wagon clocked going uphill 90 mph fully loaded down. Always loved this chase scene those big Chevys .

[@jonathanpardoe8722]

I saw this at the cinema back in the days of when Bond was Bond and this scene with J. W mesmorised me . I have yet to see another scene in any film that captures the moment nor the period as well as Clifton James did . In fact he stormed the Bond stage in both films .

[@sharonhill8916]

I had a Glastron, exactly like the one in the film, bought it in 1976, it could turn on a sixpence, and with a ski pole fitted, it was a gret ski boat. kept it for 6 years, no problems !!

[@actioncom2748]

1:36 - Great Moments in Continuity - There's black smoke from the fire that Bond started before he ran away in a boat. It's on the horizon.

[@landsea7332]

" I got me a regular Ben Hur " ...... " That's one of them new car boats . " Priceless . .

[@ccasey1904]

Another fantastic scene!

[@zaphodsrealm1549]

The best Roger Moore 007 flick period! It just works.

[@jamielacourse7578]

My absolute favorite southern lawman. Funny and serious as hell.

[@michaelfregoe5875]

It's almost like the sheriff in "Smoky and the Bandit" took inspiration from the sheriff in this movie.

[@ms.annthrope415]

My friend and I were in the law enforcement business and every so often we'd break into JW Peppa's southern drawl. Never failed to crack us up rolling in the floor.

Beginning of Cajun Navy

[@londonroulette]

ONE OF THE BESTTTT CLIPS. JW Pepper is so brilliant!!!!

"what are you, some kinda doomsday machine boy?"

I love LIVE AND LET DIE because it was filmed in my home state.

[@roquefortfiles]

I always wanted to go to Louisiana. I had some food from there and fell in love with the cuisine.

[@Dante_xy7]

@@roquefortfiles have you visited there yet?

[@roquefortfiles]

@@Dante_xy7 Nope. Dont think I'd want to

[@PurpleBox89]
