I think that Bond is probably aware of being a cold-blodded killer, he just told melina not to take revenge because he does not want her to turn into a ruthless killer like him.
Roger Moore Bond main guy villian's death Mr. Big, Kananga - Inflated and blew up Scaramanga - Flat on his coup de grace Stromberg - Dead Drax - He had to fly Kristatos - Knifed Kamal - Crash his plane Zorin - Laugh and Fall
Quite a gritty and hard core film, I like this one! My favourite bond film is Licence to kill, I like it for the same reason, it's gritty and darker. All the bond films have action in them but this one and licence to kill are some of my favourites! This is Roger Moors Licence to kill!
Certainly is: unlike the 1989 feature, 007 isn't a renegade, he's assigned by superiors to prevent a huge loss of life and has a strong group of allies in support - two of them with separate motives. One of the best episodes in the series and it definitely has my vote.
Personally For Your Eyes Only is another one of my favourite Moore outings as Bond. The film itself had everything from an exciting helicopter opening Citroën car chase cliffhanger sequences :)
Well said man because Bond's job is messy because he kills lots of people and even though he is prone to avenge people he cares about - it doesn't really stop him grieving from time to time. For example, his wife - Tracy :)
You have a very interesting point there, because let's not forget that at the beginning of this movie. James was paying his respects to his late wife - Tracy 😢
He was one of Bond's best sidekicks ever, he had his back the whole time and it was fulfilling that he was the one who killed Kristatoes and saved Melina from becoming a stone cold killer like himself and Bond.
James Haynes Topol plays Columbo similar a strong memorable ally like Kerim Bey in From Russia With Love, Drago in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and even Rene Mathis in Casino Royale.
Had it not have been for Milos Columbo throwing that knife into Kristatos' back when he did, James would have finally met his end here. One of the biggest no-no's to surviving an action movie is to NEVER EVER let your guard down. Even if your opponent appears defeated, ALWAYS make sure that he or she STAYS defeated. Ah well, props to Columbo for saving the day anyway! :)
Bond always fights a strong blond henchman- Aside from this film, From Russia with Love, You Only Live Twice, The Living Daylights, Tomorrow Never Dies
I enjoy this movie so much, I like the theme, melina being a action Bond girl, Julian glover as the big bad, bind not being the one to kill the big bad, and the action.
fivebearrugs Yes but what Bond did to him was a fitting punishment. Leaving him stranded in the middle of a desert with nothing but a can of motor oil. Had he not been shot by Quantum, that would've been a slow death, either from the heat or by dehydration. .
@@sketcheswithjakefreeman7083 Because he was just throwing Bond around for a few minutes only for him to be simplistically despatched out the window like it was nothing, all because he was distracted for a split second in what was such an underwhelming death on his part. And then I love how it just cuts to one last shot of him free falling to his death like a dummy, no music or anything, just silence. 😂
I always like how its Kristatos just walks casually away while Krigler fights with bond and gets nice long drop out of a window... Well at least he had good view with falling to his death
Julian Glover sure likes to appear in big movie franchises, doesn't he? Here he is in the twelfth James Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only as Aristole Kristatos. He also played General Maximilian Veers in the second Star Wars movie, The Empire Strikes Back, Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and provided the voice of the spider Aragog in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I’m not sure what other movies he’s been in. Oh yeah, he has also made two unrelated appearances in Doctor Who. So I guess he likes to appear in big TV shows as well as movies.
It actually follows a lot of Ian Fleming's plot, at least in the first half. And there's some story elements from Live And Let Die that show up midway through the film.
And those "2 graves" James was talking about, could have been his and Mélina's if Mr Colombo hadn't been there! James Bond usually NEVER HAS ANY MERCY FOR HIS ENNEMIES, so why would he have made an exception and spared Kristatos' life???!!!
He meant Kristatoes and Melina's, sure Melina wouldn't literally be dead but she would now be a hardened killer like Bond and Kristatoes were and the innocent side of her would be dead.
Bond is already too far gone, that's why he doesn't do mercy, he doesn't need to, there's no redemption for him. Melina still has a chance for normal life, so that's why he doesn't want her to do it.
@Metaltherebel92 I guess it's because he was protecting her from her conscience, which most likely would've occured later down the track. I guess it's because he cared for her, and he didn't want her to feel bad or something, later.
Tevye the Milkman by himself can beat the Galactic Empire's General Maximilian Veers, Holy Grail seeker Walter Donovan, and Grand Maester Pycelle all at once
Aris confronted former friend Columbo: Mr Columbo: You did it! You killed Melina’s parents. I wasn’t a murderer. Kristatos: Yes I killed them. Kristatos: She wants to destroy the transmitter. I've learned this much: take what you and Bond can, when you can! Aris Kristatos final words quote Bond: Then you’ve learned nothing.
Weird seeing tywin and pycelle on screen together from 30 years ago! Always thought this film was underrated, less gimmicky than other bond films from around this period
i am the only one that found Bond a bit annoying when he stood in the way of Melina killing Kristatos? when i watched this on DVD i was shouting 'get out the way' at the screen xD
In the book his name was Aristotle Kristatos, but the film changed it to 'Aris'. At the skating field he introduces himself as 'Aris' and at no point in the film is he referred to as 'Aristotle'. The end credits say only 'Kristatos'. I believe that I remember Wikipedia giving the same information which I am giving you now, but I do not want to bother to check.
I think bond feels the difference is he's been at the killing and revenge game for a long time, it's a path he wouldn't want Melina to have to go down.
"that`s not the answer" Haha yeah, who is Bond to say that? Most off the main villains he has encountered could be taken as prisoners, instead he kills them. Not that I have something against it though, just funny that he said it ;-)
The reason for that, is that he doesn't want her to become him, Bond is cold as ice, killing to him is second nature, and he already dug those graves. When Tracy died, he died, he knew that he was never turning back, he didn't want anyone else going down the same dark path. It's like when a mob boss doesn't want his son going down the same path he did, he knows the darkness that it leads to best.
What happened to the henchman Columbo was fighting at the start? Seems to me that man just disappeared as the next time Columbo is seen, he isn't fighting.
I think Eric reminds me of hans from you only live twice . But I must say I'd love to see Eric fight Jaws tho both big and strong it would be a good competition also hans vs oddjob it would be interesting.
@Metaltherebel92 Yeah, Bond is kind of hypocrite in this one. He says revenge isn't right thing to do, yet he pushes defenceless henchman off the cliff in revenge at one point in the movie.
He was in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back as General Veers and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusades both as a villain. He has been in a number of movies going back to the 1960s and tv shows including Game of Thrones
All the dummies that appear in John Glen's Bonds are hilarious... Apostise (falling dummy) Eric Kriegler (falling dummy) Gobinda (falling dummy) Man in the blimp (falling dummy) Zorin (falling dummy?) Necros (falling dummy?)

Yeah, I guess
Why doesn't he immediately go check on Dr. Zarkhov
I think that Bond is probably aware of being a cold-blodded killer, he just told melina not to take revenge because he does not want her to turn into a ruthless killer like him.

Gritty and hardcore? Nah. I would say it's a fairly serious thriller.
Personally For Your Eyes Only is another one of my favourite Moore outings as Bond. The film itself had everything from an exciting helicopter opening Citroën car chase cliffhanger sequences :)
Mr bondddddd!!!!! Then the way it leads into the title song by sheena, this is easily one of Roger moores best films

Chaim Topol was an excellent sidekick.
He's my favourite character
He was one of Bond's best sidekicks ever, he had his back the whole time and it was fulfilling that he was the one who killed Kristatoes and saved Melina from becoming a stone cold killer like himself and Bond.
James Haynes Topol plays Columbo similar a strong memorable ally like Kerim Bey in From Russia With Love, Drago in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and even Rene Mathis in Casino Royale.
Topal was also in the movie Flash Gordon.
@General Georgi Grigorovich Grubozaboyschikov he reminds me Sonny Bono alright. Dr. Zarkov from Flash Gordon.
Had it not have been for Milos Columbo throwing that knife into Kristatos' back when he did, James would have finally met his end here. One of the biggest no-no's to surviving an action movie is to NEVER EVER let your guard down. Even if your opponent appears defeated, ALWAYS make sure that he or she STAYS defeated.

A lot of times through the series bond only survives because of others intervention
Well its a movie so, Bond was bound to survive
Bond always fights a strong blond henchman- Aside from this film, From Russia with Love, You Only Live Twice, The Living Daylights, Tomorrow Never Dies
Amazing director debut for john glen on the James bond movies, he did second unit work on couple earlier bonds, glen directed four more in the 1980s
Bond turns around at the end like “well....problem solved” haha!
It is impossible for me to get into a helicopter after watching so many 007 movies
Terrific fight scene
one of the best bonds ever! i love the story in this one and the lack of gagdets replaced by a whole lot of fighting!
I enjoy this movie so much, I like the theme, melina being a action Bond girl, Julian glover as the big bad, bind not being the one to kill the big bad, and the action.
What was interesting was that Bond wasn't the one to kill the main villain this time.
+Darkstar263 He also didn't kill Emilio Largo in 'Thunderball'; that honor went to Domino.
fivebearrugs There's also Le Chiffre in Casino Royale. Mr White shot him.
Darkstar263 Ah yes, thank you! Oh, and Dominic Greene wasn't killed by Bond either.
fivebearrugs Yes but what Bond did to him was a fitting punishment. Leaving him stranded in the middle of a desert with nothing but a can of motor oil. Had he not been shot by Quantum, that would've been a slow death, either from the heat or by dehydration. .
he also didnt kill rosa klebb in from russia with love
1:09 This bit always seems to amuse me 😆
Lol why?
@@sketcheswithjakefreeman7083 Because he was just throwing Bond around for a few minutes only for him to be simplistically despatched out the window like it was nothing, all because he was distracted for a split second in what was such an underwhelming death on his part.

Those punch sound effects are just hilarious lol!

He dropped his guard when he saw Kristatos leaving. Big mistake.
MartynJamieson9 , it was a view to a kill.
He had no head for heights.
i love the way bond reverses the situation in fight sequences.....
RIP Chaim Topol .... תנוח על משכבך בשלום
RIP Roger Moore...

And of course Grand Maester Pycelle
This is the best Bond movie without a doubt
It actually follows a lot of Ian Fleming's plot, at least in the first half. And there's some story elements from Live And Let Die that show up midway through the film.
not even close
And those "2 graves" James was talking about, could have been his and Mélina's if Mr Colombo hadn't been there! James Bond usually NEVER HAS ANY MERCY FOR HIS ENNEMIES, so why would he have made an exception and spared Kristatos' life???!!!

@@brucesnow7125 Bond turned to Dark Side long ago and with Tracy's death there was definitely no turning back. Too far gone indeed
This voice of KGB guy is strong. 💪
"All right, but be prepared to dig those two graves-" (Kristatos is killed) "Nevermind."
1:13 kriglers a great opera singer
Dr Zarkov giving Walter Donovan a good kicking there
"You're not as fast as you used to be."
Grand Maester Pycelle… gods you were a young lad in this
Topol had his moments too.
RIP Chaim Topol (Milos Columbo)
2 middle aged men fighting. Brilliant
Moore was, without question, the worst fighter in the entire series. He moved like a robot and he possessed the speed of dripping molasses.
[knife in the back] "LOL, nevermind".
I still want this monastery as a level for a Bond game.
SEAN CONNERY and ROGER MOORE are the two eyes,ears,hands and legs of the True JAMES BOND Movies and no equallent so far never found
Two of them are great Bond actors
that german was strong
@Metaltherebel92 I guess it's because he was protecting her from her conscience, which most likely would've occured later down the track. I guess it's because he cared for her, and he didn't want her to feel bad or something, later.

Kristatos: She wants to destroy the transmitter. I've learned this much: take what you and Bond can, when you can!
Aris Kristatos final words quote
Bond: Then you’ve learned nothing.
Haha! Yeah, it was the answer twice in this film. First with Blofeld, then later with Locque.
this movie should have had more fist fights....the climax is lame...wish bond and kriegler had a longer fight
Weird seeing tywin and pycelle on screen together from 30 years ago! Always thought this film was underrated, less gimmicky than other bond films from around this period
Yes I do know it was kristatos and his henchmen but if you're going to be a pedant about it...
***** You are failing man, look it up. He is one of Kristatos henchmen, a minor role maybe but it`s him. Klaus I think the character was named.
***** He's the one who gets shot in the back while on the beach.
As well as the beach assault, he can be seen quite clearly in the Cortina scenes eyeballing Bond going up the stairs.
+Connor Fryer yeah Tywin worked for Pycelle here. lol
1:19 what a way to go!
wow that's the same killing method they used in skyfall!
"Last rat standing." 😂😂😂
1:12 that distraction screwed kriegler
His training was focused on his body, but they forgot his brain!
i am the only one that found Bond a bit annoying when he stood in the way of Melina killing Kristatos? when i watched this on DVD i was shouting 'get out the way' at the screen xD
Knowing Bond as the cold blooded badass he is, I'm surprised he did.
Seems to be more of Bond vs Eric Kriegler.
which can never be as good as Bond vs Jaws
Milos Columbo vs. Aristotle Kristatos
Yes...considerably.
In the book his name was Aristotle Kristatos, but the film changed it to 'Aris'. At the skating field he introduces himself as 'Aris' and at no point in the film is he referred to as 'Aristotle'. The end credits say only 'Kristatos'. I believe that I remember Wikipedia giving the same information which I am giving you now, but I do not want to bother to check.
One could ask Bond where was the two graves saying with Louque and Blofeld earlier.
I think bond feels the difference is he's been at the killing and revenge game for a long time, it's a path he wouldn't want Melina to have to go down.
Did you for get what the "00" in 007 signifies? It's a license to kill - within the scope of his mission.
01:14 Kreigler took a heavy load.
It's funny that the girls who played Melina and Bib, that they're almost the same age. And Bibi is pictured to be alot younger in this :)
And the actress who played her trainer is younger than Roger Moore...
@@Hollowshape Roger aged like a boss to be fair, until A View To A Kill.
I preferred Bibi myself
"that`s not the answer" Haha yeah, who is Bond to say that? Most off the main villains he has encountered could be taken as prisoners, instead he kills them. Not that I have something against it though, just funny that he said it ;-)
The reason for that, is that he doesn't want her to become him, Bond is cold as ice, killing to him is second nature, and he already dug those graves.

It's like when a mob boss doesn't want his son going down the same path he did, he knows the darkness that it leads to best.
@neosoc Yeah, that's Donovan all right. And he also played imperial officer in the empire strikes back.
There is no way in hell a thrown knife to the back would kill someone like that.
Yeah... It barely Killed Silva!
Roger Moore Vs Julian Glover
so at 0:34 that guy just dies while bond gets up
Well, the guy WAS a minor henchman, they don't stand a chance :)
Bond had him in a headlock, so his neck was probably broken with the fall.
Julian Glover as Aristotle Kristatos (quoted directly from wikipedia)
What happened to the henchman Columbo was fighting at the start? Seems to me that man just disappeared as the next time Columbo is seen, he isn't fighting.
Aspostis?
which bond movie was this??? I don't recognize it...
For Your Eyes Only starring Roger Moore and it was released in 1981
I think Eric reminds me of hans from you only live twice . But I must say I'd love to see Eric fight Jaws tho both big and strong it would be a good competition also hans vs oddjob it would be interesting.
Indeed and was a monster¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Literally
Would the 2nd grave be for the Dove? The Dove kills Kristatos and Melina's arrow hits the Dove as Krustatos falls over.
To be honest i thought it was poignant that it was Colombo who kills Kristatos given that he betrayed their old partnership ship and friendship.
Nice gun, Colombo. Did you consider using it? Why is Bond unarmed, anyways?
its so odd seeing an action scene without any type of music in the background
its cool/nostalgic but still weird lol
That's one way to back stab someone.
@Metaltherebel92 Yeah, Bond is kind of hypocrite in this one. He says revenge isn't right thing to do, yet he pushes defenceless henchman off the cliff in revenge at one point in the movie.
He didn’t want Melina to become a cold blooded killer
He gets a pass for Blofeld. He long since had it coming
Better make it...three graves
Great. Thanks for showing the finale of For Your Eyes Only. Now nobody has to watch it.
He chose poorly.
Jaws was stronger..
Shame the guy who played Kristatos didn't had much of an acting. He appeared in a couple of movies and that was it.
Wayne Joseph He was Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
He was in Star Wars Empire Strikes Back as General Veers and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusades both as a villain. He has been in a number of movies going back to the 1960s and tv shows including Game of Thrones
Sarcasm?
@mathtutorsnm For Your Eyes Only
@Nibelungenherr1876 When is that? Sorry, I'm not sure when you're thinking of?
This was alot like silvas death from skyfall ;p
All the dummies that appear in John Glen's Bonds are hilarious...
Apostise (falling dummy)
Eric Kriegler (falling dummy)
Gobinda (falling dummy)
Man in the blimp (falling dummy)
Zorin (falling dummy?)
Necros (falling dummy?)
Better than CGI
Untrue with Gobinda and Necros : B.J Worth and Jake Lombard perform aerial stunts and doubles them respectively - no dummies used in either scene.
2:10 that's so cheesy
1:13
1:06... Kristatos coulda smacked 007. and 1:13... well that just got worse and worse now didntit?
Same didn't get it either
His name is 'Aris', not 'Aristotle'.
Isn't Aris short for Aristotle ? Or is it like Vladimir and Vlad, similar but totally different diminutives
This Sum WWF Royal Rumble Shit :-P XD!!!!
