[@johnpetrey857]

I was projectionist for this when we received it in the summer of 1983. I really like the opening with the jet but having said that my brain over analyzes everything. When the jet enters the hangar at that speed, he would have exited almost as fast as he entered. Also showing Moore in a model tilted and slowed down, the prop holding the right wing is painfully obvious. Other than that and the Tarzan yell and clown scenes, it's a very underrated 007 adventure. Actually my favorite of Moore's. If John Barry had done the music for TSWLM, then it would have been rated a 10 out of 10.
