- Corinne Dufour, secretary to Hugo Drax, gets fired and is subsequently eaten by dobermans.
One of the roughest deaths for a Bond woman....especially one as sweet Corrine.
Great music by John Barry! - Розваги
This scene is haunting
She never screams.
The dogs never bark.
Theres only the music, the sound of her running, and the chase.
Imagine if the whole movie had been so brilliantly directed? Instead we got the double taking pigeon.
exactly what i was thinking. this movie could have been so much better if they cut more scenes out and replaced them with more of the darker scenes like when Bond was in the centrifuge, this scene, and the end scene that was very intense. the plot was actually pretty good but because they had to add their silliness to it. sometimes having dark movies aren't bad.
Her love scenes with Bond and when he breaks into the safe is good as well
What makes it so haunting is it leaves her death to the viewer's imagination.
If this movie had 5 minutes less it would be one of the best Bond movies
crpj18 which 5 minutes.
This is a perfect example of film scoring at it's best. It's not an "action cue" in the sense that it doesn't go with the action, but with the feeling of impending death, which is more subtext and adds a layer to the scene that otherwise would be missing.
Barry could've made it a generic fast, intense chase score, but keeping the music slow and menacing helps the viewer feel Corinne's fear as death approaches.
what song is it tho? Where is it in the soundtrack?
edit: its centrifuge and Corinne put down
Yes
That ominous 4 note structure is taken from the Dies irae chant, which in the Traditional Catholic rite, is sung at the Requiem Mass (funerals). It has been used in many film scores as a musical shorthand for impending doom.
out of ALL THE BOND FILMS... this scene, unlike any other is a combination of beauty and horror.
The most clever death scene in a james bond film. The haunting score, the cinematography and the camera angles combine to make this scene hauntingly beautiful to watch.
agree with EVER single word you wrote.
The tragic part is that James didn't even know that she was killed.
Yeah I thought about that too. Although it’s possible he found out later.
Not like he’d care though
It’s annoying we never see him finding out in the movie. In the novelisation Holly tells him, and I wish it was the same in the film
He avenged her anyway even if he did know
@@Demaad Of course he'd care. He always avenges his allies who are killed man or woman.
To this day I don't know why bond never thought to save her. She had a beautiful soul inside and out. Its such a sad scene that still haunts me.
Bond didn’t realize she was in danger otherwise he would’ve. She was such a gorgeous woman too. What a waste.
Bond can be an ice cold bastard at times. Like her or not, Corrine was an asset in which Bond used to find out what Drax was up to. If he got some action on the side, it was a bonus, but the mission always came first.
@@coolcat6303 But still, Bond has the responsibility of putting her in a dangerous situation. At least, he should have saved her from the dangerous situation and let her stay at a safe location.
@@josephpendleton4927agreed. You will find comfort that in Spectre, Bond does just this to protect the wife who gave him information of where the villains were meetings it’s not just morally right but where’s the incentive to blow the whistle if you won’t be protected!
I mean in Spectre he felt more human than most bonds.
Drax was so evil. And that's what a villain is supposed to be. One of the best Bond villains.
Pretty somber and creepy scene ironically for the most fantastical and even silly 007 entry. It almost belongs to an Argento giallo. I think not only the atmosphere, but the John Barry score adds a lot of darkness to it.
There are a few reasons why this is the most horrifying death by animal in a James Bond film: 1. Dogs are all around us in our life, it could happen to us. It's easier to evade piranha's and sharks. 2. The haunting music that give the chills. 3. The girl is very pretty and kind. It makes us sad to see her depart this way.
And 4. James Bond didn't even get to know what happened to her.
Extremely savage way to kill off a beautiful bond girl! The music really helps this scene. I'm surprised there wasn't a male victim eaten by those dogs in the movie.
It was a nasty moment
Corinne was a Bond girl because she slept with Bond in Drax's study and she also showed him the safe .
RIP Michael Lonsdale, a cool understated Bond villain; & a versatile actor.
He was also great in Spielberg’s “Munich”
I saw this film in theater when it was released in 79', I was eleven maybe twelve years old. The brutality of the scene took me completely by surprise. Whenever I hear someone mention the film I think only of that moment. Easily the most disturbing scene in any Bond film to that point and perhaps ever.
I saw it back then too but I was 9
@@homelesshannah50 , when I first saw this, I was unfamiliar about the Bond formula and was sure Bond was going to save her at the last minute. I was surprised that the dogs got her.
Idk? Seeing a clown get knifed in the back at the beginning of Octopussy, freaked me out as a child. It wasn’t until much later did I realize he was a 00 agent undercover, which kind of softened the blow? 😂
The tone doesn’t fit with James Bond at al
Dude, she was such a tragic character. She trusted James, felt like he could have taken her away from it all. Got betrayed by her employer, got mauled by the fuckers dogs, and James or anyone didn’t even know what happened to her. She died alone and scared. If she was a real person, in an afterlife that is real, I would have told her it’s ok, her suffering is some, and there is a paradise ahead of her. Man the effect movies and wrong t and story telling has on a person… this acne gets me all the time
This scene in its entirety, was the first trailer I ever saw for "Moonraker" before its release. I remember being a little stunned by the low-grade, dreamlike terror it elicited. Its emotional punch was unlike anything else in the campy space flick.
When Drax terminates someone's employment he terminates them too it seems.
Yeah minus the people he deemed perfect, who themselves I feel were pretty sick for going along with his plans.
The take-home from this:
when working for a Bond villain, always wear running shoes and carry a pet snack that will be liked by dogs, sharks and alligators.
@@MyFunCommute Don't forget piranhas
Music is brilliant
Poor Corrine. Truly an Angel with a golden heart. 😔
I love the subtlety of this scene. By the time it sinks in what’s going on and why, it’s already too late.
Its crazy to think this is the same movie as a Jaws finds his true love sideplot and a Gondola that drives on land with the double taking pigeon. You would never guess this was from Moonraker if you hadnt seen the movie before
John barry's score is always on point 👍🏽
CLASSIC SCENE..... "You will leave immidiately"....
AWSOME Music .... The Master...John Barry
One does not simply betray Hugo Drax.
Re-watched moonraker yesterday night after 20years. And I enjoyed so much the movie for his continuous fun. However, I was really amazed by the haunted beauty of this tragic death scene. One of the best bond scene cinematography❤️❤️❤️
fantastic music.
Dies Irae
MrBastilleDay It sounds like he ripped off that disco classic The Hustle by the late great Van McCoy
John Barry at his best
JOHN 'effing BARRY! He really had the ability to make shit shine! I'm actually very fond of this film, and this scene, but I mean to compliment his great talent to make ANYthing, "King Kong" ('76), Disney's "The Black Hole", etc., feel epic and lend them enormous gravitas that sometimes they didn't deserve! This track, in particular, has a more melancholic harmony (and riffing) than I'm used to in his work so I think it's unique but still VERY James Bond! He was just great.
He did Game of Death a personal favorite of mine and Lion in Winter another great
The most savage, unnecessary, nasty, evil way to kill a girl in a '70s Roger Moore Bond movie. Never really got my head around that in 40 years now
I concur. This scene really broke my heart. Mainly because Bond never even finds out she died, and he was responsible for her death.
@@starwarsrebel2006 There was no body, so in theory, she could have survived, just been mauled and bleeding badly, but not bad enough, to damage a major artery!
@@pauljohnson6019 You have given me a glimmer of hope.
perfect music + amazing cinematography = scenes are forever
It was a really unexpected and effective change from the usual slightly tongue in cheek Moore Bond tone!
Have to say in the forty something years I've been a Bond fan....this was the most unnecessary, nastiest,death of a girl in a movie ever
Yup she sure got a raw deal no doubt
Well, not that unnecessary. It showed the audience how brutal and nasty Drax could be as villain (despite his classy and almost cold exterior). It showed what Drax is capable to do, to anyone who doesn't go along with his plan.
Besides, Corrine helped 007 to know 50%+ of Drax's plan, so it was logical for Drax to terminate her... But I agree he chose a very nasty way to do it.
This is such a dark scene. It's not one you would expect in a Roger Moore era Bond movie
This is such a haunting scene. And utterly terrifying if you hate dogs, even if you LOVE dogs.
This scene terrified me as a kid
Drax was a proper villain. Classy yet savage.
If only Corinne had stayed in her room and not followed Bond, then Chang would not have seen her and not snitched her out.
THIS
Snitches get stitches, but look what she got? Stay with me here for a sec...the camera cuts away BEFORE we see any of the carnage...perhaps...I'm just saying, perhaps...with her training from previous films such as The Story of O...she might have been able to "negotiate" with these pooches and was not mauled to death. Nah...they ate her.
Release the hounds!
Now we know where Mr. Burns got his ideas
Prince Phillip was at the royal Premiere & shouted out 'don't run into the woods'.
I didn't like this scene. Bond got this sweet and naive girl indirectly killed.
That's unfortunately how it goes in each Bond movie one lovely girl has to die.
And he never even finds out about her death.
@@Darkstar263 That's what really breaks my heart. Bond goes on with his adventurous, womanizing lifestyle, never finding out that this girl he spent the night with died because of him.
@@starwarsrebel2006 They make their own choices.
Bond has to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. But...it also shows how remorseless, cruel, and sadistic Drax can be too.
BTW, those aren't Dobermans, they're Beaucerons a precursor to the Doberman.
Excellent music
In real life, she wouldn't last ten seconds, that's how fast dogs can run if they are really after you....
This is one of the scenes in Bond movies that still is quite scary and at the same time sad. The music is there well made of course and sometimes I hear that, suddenly, in my mind and I remember this scene. I don't know if they made any "similar ones" afterwards. Some might think Moonraker movie is bad, I think it is great. Not saying I like how she gets killed though, but movie scene well made. Cheers...
What bothers me the most about this scene is that Bond never finds out about her death.
She tried to outrun the Dogs through the woods in high heels. Why didn't she get back into the golf cart to go get her personal belongings? May have stood a better chance!
@@starwarsrebel2006 Yes, I don't think it was never "told". A bit sad even if a movie, but how would him, James, would feel, if found out. Cheers...
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 Yes, a bit mystery to me also. Can of course try to explain it like she paniced and tried (what she did of course) to run away... but yes, golf cart would at least given her some cover and 4 wheels, better in that situation than 2 high heels I would think also eh? Cheers...
I am rather surprised corrine didn't think about escaping in the golf cart but she probably would have died either way.
Chris Peplinski driving that golf cart would be slower than running
Than running in high heals in the woods?????
ZUNORUSH but still kinda safer
@@Zunorush driving in golf car is much faster than running in the woods with high heels. not to mention, she's safer and pretty much having chance escaping (provided that Drax don't send henchmen to shot her later) because dogs don't have "sense" of weight; they see that golf cart is bigger (in size), they hesitant. and in case the dog manage to get to her, at least she has the energy to make a run. hopefully, to safety.
@@VladiSSius Yes, a golf cart can probably do about 25mph. The dogs would tire before catching up. On foot, in the woods, wearing heels, those dogs would have caught her much quicker than they did in the film.
Corinne's demise remains unknown by James Bond.
There was a novelization based on the screenplay. When Bond ran into Dr Goodhead in Venice and asked after Corrine, she told him what happened. He felt sick, wondering if it was a freak accident or if Drax ordered her death because of him.
In the novel, Corinne was named Trudi Parker. She was supposed to be some Californian dumb blonde but when the movie production moved to France and Corinne Clery was hired, the character was modified into Corinne Dufour.
At least roger Moore avenged her at the end: he sent drax to cold space
@@pjosepha he took a giant step for mankind.
@@PungiFungi She was a gorgeous woman but I found it kind of curious that they dubbed her voice with a voice actor’s. The stewardess, in the beginning, also had the same voice.
You have 1 minute too get off my huge estate... lol
[Mr. Burns voice] "Release the hooounds"
Great Scene. Love the Music. Hugo Drax is one of the most Sadistic Villains in the Bond Universe.
A pretty dark scene in such a silly movie
That and the centrifuge scene.
Its Not a silly Movie sad cat
I happen to like James Bond Movies
your silly
Ok and why it's a silly movie? I guess you like the shitty Craig movies
@@Imozep4Live because Bond is in space and shoots lasers like Han Solo?
This scene is scarier than Carl Stromberg with his piranhas
Stromberg had sharks. Blofeld had Piranhas.
Pun not intended, but as someone who was attacked by a German shepard when I was 9, this scene scared the living daylights out of me.
How did you escape?
@@vijayvijay4123in a golf cart presumably.
I watched this in the cinema as a kid. It was proper nasty and came from nowhere..
They're not Dobermans, they're Beaucerons.
Stuart Fishman Quite right. I have two. Both from a rescue in France were they are popular family/working dogs.
My dog is always intrigued watching this scene. Hyper focused.
Anyone else notice that when she is running her shoes change and she has blue socks on???
Yup but she almost tripped in those heels
don't worry.....drax got killed in outer space later by 007!
A well deserved death, outstanding villain was our Drax though
Its called "Centrifuge and Corrine Put Down" - by the great John Barry.
warholston1 thanks it film score is awesome
Actually it's called "Corrine's Demise"
Best scene in any Bond movies for sure
Hands down. Cinematic perfection.

MEMO TO ALL STAFF FROM HUGO DRAX
If I find that you violated one of my reasonable work rules, (be hardworking, loyal, turn up on time, don't complain, no sleeping with enemy agents and help in my conquest of humankind) I will set the dogs on you.....
Literally......
If you don't beileve me, just ask Corrine Dufour. You can find her scattered about at various different locations throughout the nearby forest......
That is all......
Yeah, means no showing them to my safe in my studies.
@@tolbertjason - Correct, now if you'll excuse me, I believe you have an overdue appointment with my dogs.....
@@woohooboy Only if you can find Corrine Dufour's remains scattered throughout the nearby forest...... That is all.
A bit rough. But it does reduce the cost of the severance package.
Corinne's relatives would probably sue Drax.
Bond got her killed, whoops jimbo! Great music, always stayed with me this death scene
I still think this is one of the most haunting scenes in a 007 film. Pretty messed up
Did she change shoes right at 0:47 mark?
Bond got that poor girl savagely killed.
And he never even found out she was killed.
Great music.
+franklinnose Simply beautiful.
John Barry... One of the best of all time. Same with Sir Roger Moore.
ça fait penser a la musique de "le jeux de la mort" , qui je crois est aussi composé par jhon barry !? mais c est clair c est une "great music"
The scene made Drax look evil
Yeah but his outfit makes him look like a dork
0:14 Let that be a warning ⚠️ and an example to all of the staff that works for Drax.
Now if people REALLY want to know how she died, you can always watch Django unchained and you'll find out
The Dippin American I thought the same thing.
Poor girl
Believe it or not, I always thought this piece of music would go really well with the hotel fight scene in Oh Her Majesty's Secret Service.
John Barry >>>>>>>
It's a horrifying and haunting tragic scene...
Luckily her sudden transformation into a burly stuntman in a wig at 1:31 softens the blow, somewhat.
It was a stuntman, not a stuntwoman?
@@PungiFungi Well, it could be a stuntwoman, A big shouldered, stocky, burly stuntwoman with "man hands". They do exist, and have existed, I presume.
We'd have to find the "making of" and the credits to get to the bottom of this all encompassing and pervasive mystery.
This scene is so out of James Bond movies Formula
A powerful scene. And as often the case, the villains personal assistant is hotter than the main Bond girl imo. The spy who loved me is another example.
I'm sure this inspired the Ramsey Bolton scene in Game of Thrones
MBzk K I’m sure it didn’t.
They look like loyal beasts.
@@TrippyNoodles until they’re starved.
Bond didn't have to go to Corrine for info. However she was hot.
She's a whole lot hotter than the main bond girl of this film.
Lois Chiles, I remember her from Creepshow 2 "thanks for the ride lady"
Just a point of you. This one is sweet and sexy. The other one is smart. Remeber that Lois Chiles usually get parts of a high class woman. There's a feline woman hidden in there. Remember Death on the Nile from 1978. She was evil and sexy.
If you terminate James Bond's woman, you're gonna pay.
Gets to me every time. But you know what is fantastic about this scene: The music.
I would love to know what it’s called. Is it by John Barry? Anyone?
Mark Burns yes John Barry
"Corrine's Demise"
The title of the piece is more chilling still: “Corrine Put Down”
Easily the darkest scene in Bond history, and one of the darkest scenes in any movie. A great scene that ended up in kind of a meh movie.
She might’ve stood a better chance getting back on the golf buggy... I thought I remembered Drax clicking his fingers and the dobermans suddenly making a dog pyramid, then remembered that was in Last Action Hero... 😆
They’re Beaucerons
Don’t know too many golf carts that can do 30mph, which these Beauceron’s could easily achieve in seconds? They would’ve tracked her down just as easily.
Drax will pay for this...
Looks like he already did!
this movie could have been so much better if they cut more scenes out and replaced them with more of the darker scenes like when Bond was in the centrifuge, this scene, and the end scene that was very intense. the plot was actually pretty good but because they had to add their silliness to it. sometimes having dark movies aren't bad.
love this scene!! I just think of assholes I've known in my life, and wish I could do this to them.
rip roger moore
A great, but very out of place scene in Moonraker. We're at the point now where the Bond films are basically at their peak in terms of cheese and light, goofy fun, and this scene seems like it would fit better in FYEO or even License To Kill, not a borderline sci-fi self-parody.
RELEASE THE HOUNDS
(those dogs are not dobermans but beaucerons - they were used to create the doberman breed)
Full sized Peter Dinklage doesn’t exist they said…
Full sized Peter Dinklage can’t hurt you they said…
Just to keep this clear:
a) You can`t escape in a golf cart. It`s like 10 mph. The dog easily can run with a speed of 30 mph.
b) You saw these tress? I bet you can`t climb on one of that
c) Yes, dogs can kill you and they will for some reasons. Everything can kill you. Don`t be so naive! :D
Even a word class sprinter or strongman couldn’t possibly survive such an attack, especially when there’s two trained Doberman’s on your tail. Terrible way to go.
@@crazyralph6386 beaucerons apparently. Amazing we keep these animals as beloved pets. Disturbing to think if they turned on us they could kill us.
For a movie with PG now as its rating here this one moment felt like horror.
What Drax did in this movie is technically the same thing what strong Berg did to his secretary in the spy who loved me fed her to the shark but Hugo Drax fed Corinne to his dogs instead
Killed by dogs. But not before Drax sacked her.
R.I.P. Michael Lonsdale
The ultimate "art" death scene.......complete with disturbing music score......a young unarmed woman has never looked more vulnerable....running through the forest pursued by savage hunting dogs which cant lose.......they've raised death to an art form!
This scarred me as a kid
Is it just me or was she even hotter than Dr. Goodhead? What a pity!
I am very surprised she didn’t scream! Why didn’t Bond save her? She had a good soul. I don’t remember this scene. This makes me very sad!!!
That's a very terribly barbaric scene of 'Moonraker' where the no-good Hugo Drax sends his dobermans to kill a beautiful Bond woman in the forest. It seems to me that this scene is similar to the scene of 'The Lion King' where Scar killed Mufasa at the nearly end of the stampede of Wildebeests.
I did prefer an unlikely partnership between James Bond and Holly Goodhead in 'Moonraker' during shots in Venice, Rio and the incredible space shuttle. That's excitingly better than Corrine Dufour's terrible death scene.
*beaucerons not dobermans, but yes it is a "necessaery evil" scene to portray the ruthlessness of Drax.
Something very unsettling about this scene. It felt dark. Didn’t fit the tone of the movie at all
i was flipping channels and came across this movie/scene on tbs or spike tv i think.
it really got me though. you don't usually see female characters get killed up like that.
usually just us guys get the faces of death videos lol
Excellent death scene
Bond protects his girls but when is done with them they get thrown to the wolves.
In her case literally
