"Hey man, for twenty bucks I'd take you to a Ku Klux Klan cookout!"
A simple case where form doesn't follow function. Roger Moore is (in)famous for bringing out all the campiest aspects of Bond. He cares more about bedding attractive women (always significantly younger than himself) than about finding the bad guys or saving the day, and when he does have to do some killing it's always with a snarky one-liner. This form of Bond is fine on its own (admittedly it can be a lot more fun than some of the more serious installments), but it doesn't work here, where the function of the narrative attempts to comment on racial tensions. Silly Bond doesn't mix well with blaxploitation.…
Blaxsploitation, voodoosploitation, and Smokey and the banditsploitation—This is an Eli Roth Bond movie. 4.5 stars.

Modestly pleasurable. Love how Bond unzips a woman's dress using his fancy magnetic watch. Too funny. There's a lot in this entry. Walking on alligators. A bunch of racism. Graveyard lairs in the Caribbean. Roger Moore rocking a turtleneck and double holster. Yaphet Kotto. Jane Seymour. And don't forget the roughly 90-minute boat chase in the middle of the movie. Just long enough to get up and pee and maybe run a few errands before you're back for the big explosion. Bond films should be like this again, honestly. As much as I loved the Craig era, it's time to bring back the Silly.
M here again. As you were. I apologize for my absence but I’ve been busy saving the world as you know. Live and Let Die ushers in our newest Bond, Roger Moore, in a series of films that redefine ‘camp’ and take the franchise in a fun and entertaining new direction making them among my very favorites. Now some people felt the timing of this Bond-a-thon was a tad random or inane but that was before the tragic passing of our beloved Knight of the Realm. To die in the very same week as our very first viewing of his films….coincidence? It’s almost as if Moneypenny and myself coordinated this. You be the judge. Oh, and Mr. Dalton….sorry sir but…
Hot tip for any of you Bond villains out there: if you have James Bond in your possession, just shoot him. Don't come up with an elaborate yet slow plan to kill him.
I wasn't super into this at the beginning but it really grew on me as the watch went along. While it lacks some of the classic Bond feel, it works pretty well as an action movie. Borrowing many elements from the Blaxploitation sub-genre, it makes this film stand out from the rest of the series. The boat chase is quite fun, and I enjoyed the Bond girls in this one.
This is Roger Moore's first outing and it's quite nice to see an athletic Roger Moore. Moore…
Sending 007 to Harlem was the brainchild of original director Larry Cohen; he was fired after suggesting Fred Williamson to replace Connery.
My mind was completely blown when I realized the song Live and Let Die is the theme for this movie.
That song is iconic!
...unfortunately this film isn't.

I have to say that Roger Moore's first outing as 007 is not as goofy and campy as I thought it would be, but it is definitely more humorous than the ones that came before. Actually, this is not as goofy as the previous installment, as this one plays more as a fun James Bond film rather than almost a parody (as Diamonds Are Forever did). It also has this cool exploitation vibe, which gets enhanced by the filter and effects added by whoever submitted the video online that I watched, with its orange tone and spotlight effect, as well as small burns…
hell yeah i love hillbilly cops and weird flirtations with racism in my bond movies
Having triumphed over Goldfinger, Dr. No, and Blofeld, James Bond now faces his most fearsome enemy yet: literally every black person in the United States.
The film that launched the world’s love affair with Sheriff J.W. Pepper.
SOME SPOILERS
I watched this last night because I needed something that would need no concentration. I reviewed this before (go find it yourself if you're that desperate, you lazy tosser) so I'm not reviewing it properly now but some things:-
* Was anyone ever actually fooled by that disguise that Yaphet Kotto wears as Mr. Big?
* That bit where Roger Moore unzips that Italian agent's dress using his magnetic watch always bothered me. Why not just use his bloody hands? Show off!
* The bit with the crocodiles was almost certainly the part in Moore's debut where fans of the Connery Bonds could be heard yelling "Oh fuck OFF!"
* I don't think Jane Seymour is a particularly…
