He’s my third favorite actually; proceeded by Connery and Dalton, followed by Brosnan, Lazenby, and Craig. I love all the Bond actors and only dislike one film in the series (Spectre). This is my favorite Moore adventure as well, perfect in every way for him
I know this won't happen but I'd love this track to accompany the opening scene of the next Bond film. No dialogue just a fast paced, action packed chase/fight for whoever the new James Bond is.
I first heard this classic reboot of the Norman/Barry Bond sound on a 1981 French vinyl import compilation of all the Bond theme songs (I am unaware as to whether or not at that time such a compilation even existed in North America - I was thrilled to find it and was baffled as to why no one seemed to think a Bond comp was a good idea...truth be told, despite the tiny 'Renaissance' invoke by the double release of 'Octopussy' and 'Never Say Never Again' in '83 - the Bond franchise at that seem was seen to be fairly worn out and rather geeky; high concept 80s cinema descended from the Spielberg/Lucas dynasty had rendered it so). On this import this track was called 'Bond '77' (as I think it was called on the original 1977 soundtrack release), and, there in the late summer of 1982, I couldn't help but think it already sounded a little dated (such was the radical shift in production with the advent of rap, hip hop, late funk and new wave). But things just get better with age... and now, though it is rife with iconic 'disco' gestures (the relentless wood block, the analog synth, the string stabs), it is a miniature icon of a time and sensibility...magisterial and a little noble in the face of a lot of derivative junk today that cynically copies its aims but lacks utterly its sincerity.
Yes it is, the theatrical cut music score is far better than the 'Bond 77' score in the 'official' soundtrack album. The soundtrack album is quite bad to be honest, the drum beat cue when they are escaping the supertanker or Stromberg's Atlantis base is missing. So is a lot of music cues featured in the actual movie!!

Log Cabin Girl: "But James, I need you!"
Bond: "So does England."
Iconic
GIRL: He has just left. Over and out.
SERGEI: Message Recived. Over and out.
*music kicks in*
Probably the best opening of any bond film ever ever ever
I would say between this and Golden Eye
After octopuusy
The Goldfinger pre credits opening too, especially for John Barry’s score.
I raise you the living daylights
I kinda like the ones for Octopussy and Tomorrow Never Dies.
3:38 reminds me of Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough
I don't care what people say Roger was a great Bond
Charisma, class, grace, elegance, thy name is Roger Moore...
Nobody does it better!
He was ok. This was definitely his best film though.
@@alexanderharwood9128 he was the best

*70's noises*
Efectivamente...!!! Es Bond 77 🍾
The way it opens up with a mix of a 70s disco sound AND the classic John Barry orchestration with the strings is REALLY nice.
it's not barry its Marvin Hamlisch
@@leoholder7839 Yes, but he's probably comparing the orchestration here to Barry's, not saying that Barry composed the score.

1:15 guitar theme is soooo cool! Wish it lasted longer in the song
I heavily agree
This sounds a hell of a lot better than the theme used in the actual film.
More cowbell!

Go listen to R.I.P. by Witchfinder General.
When you're driving to the shops.
It sounds like ..you should be dancing
That's exactly what I was thinking, spot-on!

Grande!
Inretrospect all the janes are good for their time
BOND 77
I don't know why but its sounds different in the film,if im not crazy and you also think the same please comment.
