Where all the other Bonds end... this one begins! *** "Moonraker"(1979) was the most gorgeous looking and the most entertaining James Bond film! No stupid CGI, all stunts were very real and very dangerous! A true franchise highlight! This movie had it all: beautiful cinematography(thank you, Jean Tournier!), practical special effects and stunts, magic/glamour, charming gentleman-agent Roger Moore(even at the age of 51), big budget in 1979: $34 million(every penny is on the screen!)....................

[@stonystoner895]

This is the best Bond intro stunt yet. Out the door with no chute. What would you do? He kept his "Bond Cool" thought what to do, didn't panic, and his training kicked in. I know it's all planned out safely but, it's still classic Bond. In my teenage era we used the term: "cool head."

[@fletcherhamilton3177]

For all _Moonraker_ is derided (mostly deservedly), it _did_ have one or two extremely effective set pieces. Apart from the extraordinarily unlikely circumstance of Jaws surviving his plummet to Earth for comic effect (thus ruining the previously established tension, I feel), this ‘trap’ was legitimately scary. Had Bond failed to reach the pilot in midair, he’d have been a dead man. There was zero room for error. And the G-force simulator trap later on is exceedingly well done - terrifying and even quite surreal.

[@CahynJackson]

Jaws is the best villain. He has humour, and he has a somewhat funny smile. I wish I had teeth like him.

[@dewfall56]

I doubt you really would. Richard Kiel talked about how painfully uncomfortable that set of metal was to wear, how it made him gag terribly and he could only stand to wear it for a few minutes at a time.

[@johncohen9800]

Little tip for the villain. How about, instead of shooting the plane's cockpit, you just shoot Bond while he is sitting in front of you?

[@xj900uk]

Probably the best ever pre-credits sequence in the entire movie series. Just slightly edges out the ski-chase and jump from 'Spy Who Loved Me'. Love how Jaws just happens to be there the whole time, presumably hiding in the tiny cramped back of the plane and then just flies in at the end for a quick bite...

[@darrenstillwell9007]

I only saw this for the first time the other day (despite having seen this sequence hundreds of times)...but you can see him in the cockpit at 0:14 and a bit after that! I was amazed at never having seen that before.

[@peterfranks6243]

I saw The Spy Who Loved Me in the cinema as an eight years old, it blew me away and two short years later Moonraker came out... That was it, hooked on Bond ever since, Roger was my Bond growing up, I learned a lot from him like dress well, have a good sense of humour and take everything life throws at you with a pinch of salt.

[@fletcherhamilton3177]

This opening was actually quite thrilling and high-stakes . . . until Jaws survives for comic relief.

[@frankzubek3398]

Even though the audience knows Bond will survive (as its only ten minutes into the film) the stunning visuals of the actual location shoot add tension to it. Though I have to argue it's a flawed sequence by the change in tone for the final moments to comic relief by adding Jaws trying to flap his arms as well as the change in music tone. They should have just had Jaws fall into the tent and then "walk away" because he is Jaws . Spy who loved me already established the character is indestructible. But it is what it is. But 90 percent of this sequence remains an incredible achievement of stunt work unmatched maybe only by a few Tom Cruise Mission impossible stunts

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

3:03 Jaws does what anyone would do when their parachute fails to work.. attempts to become a bird by frantically flapping his arms lol

I had a life-changingly terrifying experience in one of those Jetstream planes back as an aero engineering student in the early 1990s; I was sitting near the tail taking measurements from instruments for our "flight test" exercises when the pilot deliberately stalled the plane to show us its stall characteristic. Everyone else on board was ready for it but somehow I was taken by surprise first by the loud stall warning alarm sounds and then by the gut-wrenching nose dive and the sight of the sea no longer below us but like a wall of greyish blue in front of us. That falling sensation, the sight of the sea ahead and the belief that death was imminent haunted me for years and I've never flown well since.

[@davider6884]

Moonraker is in a way a good film and in another way a bad film. It‘s removed far from anything Bond ever was. The overload of cheesy cartoonyness is terrible. Though I have to say, some gags and one-liners in this movie are actually pretty funny! Even though this is the most outlandish film in the franchise, there is no denying that Moonraker does have 2 scenes that are pretty dark and disturbing instead. Bond in the centrifuge is among the most tense and scariest moments in the series. And Corinne getting brutally killed by Drax’s dogs. These 2 scenes are a bit out of place for such a cartoony film. Drax is an average villain, but I really love his dialog and his great and unique speeches. Jaws falling in love is pretty bad for such a henchman. So while the overload of cartoonyness is pretty bad in this movie, Moonraker is saved big, big time by its fantastic looks! In fact, I think it is the best looking movie in the series! From the first second to the last, it‘s filled up with absolutely beautiful cinematography, extraordinary filmsets designed by Ken Adam and all the models, miniature work and the special effects absolutely have to be praised! It‘s been shot at wonderful locations around the earth! It also has my favourite title song in the series along with a top 3 worthy soundtrack by John Barry! Holly Goodhead is a good Bond girl too, I really like that she also has a sense of humor, like Roger Moore‘s Bond has! I wish the series would have that more often! Overall, Moonraker is a pretty cartoony but spectacular looking movie that I still rank pretty low.

Octopussy is OK. I don't think it's anything particularly special. Goldeneye's pre-credit sequence is too long and Bond 'fly-diving' for the empty aeroplane is cringingly preposterous. As for The World Is Not Enough, the opening pretty much sums up the film - lots of wham-bam but seen it all before. Again, these are my own opinions. Moonraker remains my no.1. I actually think whoever did the camerawork did a great job of not making the stuntmen too obvious. It's brilliantly filmed and edited - and I must admit when I saw the film for the first time (agd 10) and watched Bond get shoved out of the plane, I did think - 'how the hell is he going to get out of this?'

[@gina7288]

I crack up at that and when my husband said he would of done the same scream lol🤣

[@repubug1365]

Very creative scenario. Beautiful setting

[@jujufactory]

Best James bond opening ever.

[@thomasdude2082]

Even movies of that age was so good in terms of creativity and in mind blowing stunts.

[@Benicio49]

0:27 I love this beginning part of the fight.

[@mecom3450]

The pre-title aerial action was actually done and filmed by a diving (stuntman). He flew with a parachute hidden under his suit. The biggest challenge of this shoot was the cameraman. At the time, there were no light, high-performance, CCD cameras available, so the staff had to make their own. The camera was placed on the photographer's helmet. This type of filming only takes a few seconds of footage at a time, so nearly 100 dives were repeated and filmed, which were later edited. Bond was dubbed, as was “Jaws,” played by Richard Kiel. The film was directed by John Glen, who was promoted to director for his next film, “Your Eyes Only”. He also directed the ski jump at the beginning of the previous “The Spy Who Loved Me”.

Scott: I have a gun in my room, if you just give me 5 minutes I can blow his brains out right here. Pilot (as he aims at the controls): Scott, you just don’t get it, do ya?

Enjoyed This Movie, The First Time I Saw It. Never Stopped Loving Sir Roger Moore(SIHP). Nobody Did It Better.

[@hunterxsimple3821]

1:11 I always love the Bond theme that plays... it makes me smile idk. And in 2:23

[@edwardacallender]

One of the most comedic moments in film is Jaws pulling the parachute cord, it rips and next thing Jaws is flapping his arms like a bird.

[@TheBrickGuy7939]

0:58, hey there stunt double.

[@Invinciblez18]

Pause at 1:57

[@dimaltabuni4002]

Donald Trump 😂😂

[@GiveMeMarw]

And look at their suit jackets...bit too bulky if you ask me.

[@Atombender]

Another one for Jaws at 2:39

[@hugoboss8786]

But realy stunts not CGI shit

[@arcaneBen]

Bond is Bond...and I don't get how in mid air this amazing man keeps his spirit alive, if I were him then.......

[@ramesha.3416]

No one can match ...R M sir most handsome 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@kevsbangerracers2027]

Brilliant airiel shots for this scene even notice roger Moores stunt double wearing goggles too

[@kineticdeath]

except some bullet holes in the instruments wouldnt have any affect on the flight worthiness of that plane, he should have just sat down and acted like "well i've finally lucked out" and waited for them to depart the airplane, then he could just fly it away and get to where ever much much faster than those other people!

[@pradeep7479]

agree

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

2:55 look how he tries to open his parachute but instead he’s got a ripped harness

[@sarwonosarwono850]

Back at those time I remember watch at the cinema and almost all the audience laugh when Jaws fall into the circus, and the tend collapse, ah... what I huge relieved after quite an action battle in the sky

[@marcmons]

best opening of the saga in my opinion. Maybe goldfinger and this one.

[@tlotpwist3417]

Jaws-dropping

[@Walter-tw3vc]

Este actor el mejor 👏 👍🏻 para ➡ 👇 mi!!!

[@a.m11558]

I forgot movies didn’t use to have over-the-top music and unnecessary chopping around of shots in fight scenes

[@isaiasgodoy9951]

Esse era o 007 de verdade!! O de hoje só mata e apanha!!!

[@jamesmcdermott6919]

Wondered what happened to that female assassin that was left on the plane?

[@DanielMorales-dz4nv]

Este fué uno de los mejores actores de esa serie.

[@richardbrown2334]

The good ole Wilhelm scream if there ever was one. Sounds nothing like the guy we heard in the plane.

[@peterfranks6243]

Hey, Daniel...this is what James Bond IS supposed to look like
