Live and Let die is a classic Bond for sure. The boat chase in this is legendary. Kotto is a great villain who frequently gets overlooked. I have never had a problem with Moore as Bond i think he did a terrific job. This has possibly the best score of any Bond.
Well guys, just so ya know, this week marked Roger Moore's 83rd Birthday and this was Moore's 1st Film as 007 and this was Yaphet Kotto 20 years before he found fame w/NBC's Homicide: Life on the Streets and Introducing Jane Seymour 20 years before she found fame playing the title role to CBS' Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and also, 1973 also saw Match Game return to TV and it was the version we know and love and 1973 also marked the end of Bonanza after 14 years on NBC and Soul Train had TSOP
Live and Let Die is definitely one of the best Bond movies. Roger Moore is still my favorite Agent 007. Jane Seymour was great and very beautiful as Solitaire. Yaphet Kotto (Parker from Alien), Julius Harris and Gloria Hendry were great as well. The main theme performed by Paul McCartney and Wings was good too.
Roger Moore is Dan Man. I mean, the Speed Boat Chase Scenes were just Priceless. and who would've thought that Jane Seymour would become famous for being a Bond Girl would end up 20 years later on the small screen playing the role of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and also, the song Live and Let Die would end up being remade by Guns 'N' Roses and Yaphet Kotto would end up starring in Homicide Life on the Streets and Jeffrey Holder would end up doing 7-Up Commercials, God Bless'em all. Well Done.
This is one of my favorite Bond film beside Goldfinger, Thunderball, On her majesty's secret service, The spy who loved me, A view to a kill and Licence to kill.
@irina1296 Agree 100 %. I salute you. You probably know that Live and let die got an Oscar nomination for best original song. Should have won it too. Roger Moore was a good injection into the Bond series. In the 70's they realized the 60's Bond was totally out of the time and thus made the series more enteratining and humorous. This worked because most Moore Bond movies made a lot of money and a whole generation of movie goers loved him. Today he gets a lot of underserved flak.
Roger Moore is James Bond 007, in Ian Fleming's "Live And Let Die"! James Bond is back, and wherever he drops in, it can mean only one thing... This is the Bond adventure with more excitement, more action, more danger, and more... ...Much more! Roger Moore as James Bond 007! 007 is on a worldwide manhunt. The bodycount is going up! And where Bond stops to visit, he leaves his mark... ...on everything! Take your seat and hang on... ...because Bond is on the move! And if you miss this one, you'll miss the most exciting 007 adventure of them all!
@NWAfan yeah, and that's why the producers made him do 7 movies over 12 years. FYI most of his movies made good box office so there was something that worked. If not Moore's lighter version of Bond the genre would never have survived into today.
@vupa1 Roger Moore was bond, before he was 'bond and he still is... Have a look at 'Steve forrest in (The Baron), It was a replacement show for the saint
Just watched this movie again, and I gotta say I find a really enjoyable bond flick. I thought it was a bit boring and weird the first time I saw it, but all in all it has a decent story plot, good action scenes, good villains and a very hot chick. Not my favorite among the Moore ones, but it`s good. And kinda unique cause it`s the only bond flick with supernatural undertones..
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: [Adam has been stopped for speeding] You gotta set of wheels that just won't quit, boy! If they's yours that is...

[Adam complies] Sheriff J.W. Pepper: Legs apart. [kicks Adam's legs apart] Sheriff J.W. Pepper: I take it this ain't exactly your *debut* at this sort of thing.
State Trooper: That look like a boat stuck in the Sheriff's car there, Eddie? Eddie: Boy, where you been all your life? That there's one of them new car-boats. Sheriff J.W. Pepper: By the powers INvested IN ME by this parish, I hereby do commandeer this vehicle and all those persons within! [spits and looks at Eddie] Sheriff J.W. Pepper: And that means you, smartass!
Has anybody read the book on this movie? I am planning to watch this on Bluray (I have already ordered it) and I'm curious if the movie is close to the book....
@NWAfan for the audience yes, but I consider Dalton's both Bond's way better than ANY of the 4 Brosnan made. Sadly Dalton's Bond was some 15 years ahead of time. Thank God for the reboot. Should have been made long ago.

Sheriff J.W. Pepper: There's that son of a bitch. I got him. [to Bond] Sheriff J.W. Pepper: What are you? Some kinda doomsday machine boy? Well WE got a cage strong enough to hold an animal like you here! Felix Leiter: Captain, would you enlighten the Sheriff please? State Trooper: Yessir. J.W., let me have a word with ya. J.W., now this fellow's from London England. He's a Englishman workin' in cooperation with our boys, a sorta... secret agent.
@TheTruthfulAsshole Actually he was 44, since it was shot in 1972. Not to mention Moore looks like he is in his mid 30's and not 44 at all. Timothy Dalton was TOO YOUNG and declined On her majesty's secret service being only 21 at the time. I agree Dalton should have made A view to a kill, and he was better than Brosnan too. Remember that back in the 70's and 80's Bond was supposedly the same character we had seen in Dr.No.
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: You picked the WRONG parish to haul ass through BOY! NOBODY cuts and runs on Sheriff JW PEPPER! And it's him who's speakin' by the by. Sheriff J.W. Pepper: [on Radio] Now you listen to me, trooper boy! We got a swamp full of Black Russians drivin' boats to beat the band down here.
Roger Moore was a bit like Pierce Brosnan - he had one or two good outings, and because he was never much of a believable tough guy, when he got old, it just got ridiculous. At least Brosnan had Goldeneye. With those 2 I was always waiting for the Bond girl to show up and bail him out. With Dalton, not so much panache, but more like the Fleming books. Moore and Brosnan were comic book heroes come to life.
Bond is too intelligent to be racist. He is a survivor and therefore he must judge each man individually. In these older films the stunts are more exciting because they are real not CG cartoons.
hmm all of the villains are black people at the time of big time racial segregation in the world back at that time black people were always the bad guy not the heroes rather that is a good thing or a bad thing i don't know

Roger Moore was awesome...there's not been a Bond like him...
This was the first Bond I saw. I was in overnight camp that year. Saw it in monticello New York that year.

Moore in LIVE & LET DIE and THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN the best Bond ever

love the cadillacs in this one, I dont even know if they are actual concept cars or wat but they are sure awesome...
This is one of my favorite Bond film beside Goldfinger, Thunderball, On her majesty's secret service, The spy who loved me, A view to a kill and Licence to kill.
Roger Moore did a SAINT-episode called (SIBAO) in
1965 that was the same as 'Live and let die!
great movie and great roger

I love the boat scene.
Roger Moore is James Bond 007,

James Bond is back,
and wherever he drops in,

This is the Bond adventure with more excitement,
more action,

and more...
...Much more!
Roger Moore as James Bond 007!
007 is on a worldwide manhunt.
The bodycount is going up!
And where Bond stops to visit,
he leaves his mark...
...on everything!
Take your seat and hang on...
...because Bond is on the move!
And if you miss this one,

Roger Moore is the best.
Every Bond film that Roger Moore was in was good in my opinion anyway!
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: [radaring behind a sign as Adam passes him, then on radio] Toby. Toby! I got me a regular Ben-Hur down here. Doing 95... minimum
The first bond with Roger Moore.
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: [Adam has been stopped for speeding] You gotta set of wheels that just won't quit, boy! If they's yours that is...
[Adam reaches for his gun but Sheriff Pepper draws his first]
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: UH-UH! Spin around boy!
[points at the car]
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: Ten fingers on the fender.
[Adam complies]
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: Legs apart.
[kicks Adam's legs apart]
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: I take it this ain't exactly your *debut* at this sort of thing.
State Trooper: That look like a boat stuck in the Sheriff's car there, Eddie?
Eddie: Boy, where you been all your life? That there's one of them new car-boats.
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: By the powers INvested IN ME by this parish, I hereby do commandeer this vehicle and all those persons within!
[spits and looks at Eddie]
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: And that means you, smartass!
the boat chase was the best. plus jane seymore is hott
@Eddifrillson
this tagline is so cheesy. It fits the Roger Moore era.
Has anybody read the book on this movie? I am planning to watch this on Bluray (I have already ordered it) and I'm curious if the movie is close to the book....
ROGER MOORE IS JAMES BOND,007

Thank God for the reboot. Should have been made long ago.

I always thought his name was a statement!

well done your names is james bond

Sheriff J.W. Pepper: Secret AGENT? On WHOSE side?
Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Octopussy & Live and Let Die! Best Bond Movies!
Sheriff J.W. Pepper: You picked the WRONG parish to haul ass through BOY! NOBODY cuts and runs on Sheriff JW PEPPER! And it's him who's speakin' by the by.

@shhbzahmed9 the best bond is Moore, sean connery is second............roger moore the real bond forever....

Jane the hottest bond women!

Dalton nealry cripped the series.
I would say Sean Conery is the best, Followed close by Roger Moore... All the others suck
hmm all of the villains are black people at the time of big time racial segregation in the world back at that time black people were always the bad guy not the heroes rather that is a good thing or a bad thing i don't know
hE WAS NOT EVEN A GREAT bONG FOR 3 YEARS .
Moore was 46 in this, I have no idea why they didn't try harder to get Timothy Dalton, he would have been a great bond for 20 years.
