As someone who's lived in New York City for almost 11 years, this is particularly fascinating to watch. Between '73 and '22, lots of things have changed (the make of the cars, the skyline, etc.), but so many other things haven't changed a bit (JFK, FDR Drive, Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, South Ferry, Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, Downtown, etc.). Very glad that they took that extra step and actually filmed on location!
Replaced Sir Sean Connery. Sir Roger Moore turns in a great performance. Those full-size Chevrolet cars in that seen were built in Oshawa, Ontario. Canada 🇨🇦.
This is the first Bond film I ever saw, probably at the age of 11 - I instantly loved it and soon after began insisting on wearing suit jackets when I'd go to school. Even though I have read the novels and they're much better than the adaptions for the big screen, to this day Roger Moore remains one of my favourite Bonds, and the colourful "Live and Let Die" remains one of my favourite Bond films.
I have read, Goldfinger, from Russia, TMWTGG, live and let die, and casino Royale, i must admit, i prefer the films to the books. Both worlds are different, films alot granduer than its source
@@LordofMovies91 I gave gave you thumbs up for getting a response out of you. It still doesnt change the thug Craig is and knighted gentleman Moore is. If I ooze salt for Moore, so be it. Moore is a magnificent human being. Craig was in Layer Cake. What a legacy.

IMHO... probably the best Soundtrack of the lot. Sir George Martin and his jazzy overtones perfectly suited the NY / New Orleans vibes....and also the soundtrack for my Bond childhood!
It's hard to go wrong with Paul McCartney on the theme song and George "the 5th Beatle" Martin on the rest. Though at the time the moviemakers did consider it a risk, as it marked a departure from the usual John Barry scores they used.
I had read that Roger Moores contract allows him to keep all his custom tailored clothing. Nice Bennie on top if his paycheck. Makes sense if the studio is going to pay fir custom suits they can't be used for anyone else.
I can't agree about the best dressed. True, his clothes were of the finest tailoring, but he's brought down by the fact that his Bond was during the era of those absolutely horrible 1970s fashion trends. Bell bottom trousers, lapels all the way out to the shoulder, and ties wide enough to serve as a bib. Connery, in the early sixties, had the sharpest looking suits, of equally fine make.
If you watch Pierce Brosnan as 007 you can see he picked up a bit of the Roger Moore elegant sense of humour and his dressing was far better. Also Timothy Dalton copied some of Roger's character.
Moore never had that ‘thug hiding under a veneer of sophistication’ mien that Connery, Lazenby and Craig had / have, but he more than makes up for it with a compellingly debonair and dry performance which, in all fairness, _does_ lend itself to a little humour rather well, though I agree - best not to overdo it.
@@fletcherhamilton3177 The famous hellraiser Lee Marvin once goaded Moore into a fistfight on a movie they did together, in Africa… the South London policeman’s son kicked the USMC veteran’s ass, leading Marvin to later remark, “That guy’s made of iron.” This is the only Bond flick where we see a glimpse of that promise: in Sir Roger’s later efforts 007 becomes almost buffoonish; they’re still great entertainment though.
That's because they don't seem to understand the Bond style of music that John Barry created . I think of the composers alive today Howard Shore might be able to come close .
The whole “iT wAs sO mUcH bEtTeR bACK tHeN” is so lame tbh. Like, what happens in the next scene? He goes to Harlem, which in the 1970s is a delapidated ghetto. Go there now and it’s got great restaurants, bars, is reasonably clean, and you’re not going to get shot. Take of your nostalgia goggles son
Ever since I was a kid being raised in Brazil in 1980's I Iove 007 Movies (with Sean Connery) in television: when I was 11 I saw a diferent 007; He was white and blond! It was Roger Moore: to Me The Best 007 ever. I found Myself This Actor fan. Rest In Perfect Peace Moore❤
I just now realized that technically 3 Moore films had a Fleming short story inserted into a scene: “Octopussy” added a scene that came from “The Property of a Lady”, “For Your Eyes Only” added in “Risico” and “Live and Let Die” added in “007 in New York”…cool.
The pimpmobiles of that era were really something else. Some went for $40,000 after the custom retrofits. That was a alot of dough in the early to mid 1970s for a car.
When I was a kid I thought the dart from the side mirror was awesome, now I am amazed at Bonds sharp suit and overcoat. The side mirror dart is still great though.
Love that White Pimpmobile ,Thats one cool looking sinister looking car here ,Great action scene.R I P Roger Moore my favourite James bond from the year i was born 1973 to 1985 ,Wish he had made more JB movies after 1985 ,R I P Legend 💖Nobody does it better 💖Followed by Sean Connery as the original ,R I P 🙏
The only Bond movie with a GM tie up for the automobiles. Also, ROger Moore and David Hedison knew each other before LALD was made as they first met when Hedison did a guest spot on The Saint and became instant friends.
The First Bond movie with Roger Moore, excellent. This and the Man with the golden gun are my favourite Roger Moore Bond movies. I watch that movie First time when i was a child 7 or 8 years old in a cinema in Italy at the 70ties. Beside Sean Connery the Best Bond ever. The great bond Song from Paul Mc Cartney and the wings. Amazing. Nobody can compare this 007 movies with him to the New movies with Daniel Craig, He is not a real Bond, He is an Action movie actor, like the New Bond movies with him, who are not Bond movies, they are just Action Films with confused stories. I dont notice the New Bond movies with Daniel Craig. For me the last 007 movie Was Die another day with Pierce Brosnan. RIP Sir Roger Moore
Craig is one of the worst. Unwatchable. If it wasn't for Roger Deakins, Skyfall would not be good either. And for that gay scene with Bardem, well Bardem eats Craig's acting for snack! Moore had class, weight, and when he walked he owned the goddman road!
