a5c7b9f00b A space shuttle called the Moonraker, built by Drax Industries, is on its way to the U.K when it is hijacked in mid-air and the crew of the 747 carrying it is killed. Bond immediately is called into action, and starts the investigation with Hugo Drax himself. While at the Drax laboratories, Bond meets the brilliant & stunning Dr. Holly Goodhead, a NASA astronaut & CIA agent who is investigating Drax for the U.S. Government. One of Drax's thugs, the sinister Chan, attempts to kill 007 at the lab but when that fails, he follows Bond to Venice and tries again there. Bond & Goodhead follow Drax's trail to Brazil, where they once again run into the 7' Goliath Jaws, a towering giant with metal teeth. Escaping from him, they discover the existence of a huge space station undetected by U.S. or Soviet radar, and a horrible plot by Drax to employ nerve gas in a genocidal project! Bond & Holly must quickly find a way to stop Hugo Drax before his horrific plans can be put into effect…
James Bond investigates the mid-air theft of a space shuttle, and discovers a plot to commit global genocide.
I read the reviews here, saw that some people actually liked this, and thought, "Hey, maybe I'm misremembering it." So I watched it. And…sorry, Moonraker is still a pretty sorry excuse for a Bond movie. There are some chilling moments (the dogs in the woods, the fight scene in the clock tower). But Richard Kiel and the writers seem to think Jaws is Wile E. Coyote - other than one suspenseful moment (as he stalks a woman during Carnival in Rio, dressed in a clown outfit), he brings unwanted humor to every scene he's in, non-demonstrating the same light sense of humor he brought to such classicsEegahh and The Human Duplicators. Despite the producers alleged claims of wanting a "realistic" space station, laser pistols make loud whoosing noises and fail to even singe the shirts of the people being shot down. Most irritating of all, Bond stops the station's rotation by hitting the big red "Emergency Stop" button the bad guys put him next to. Roger Moore is adequate, Lonsdale-as-Drax is downright chilling, and the fight and chase sequences, but there's a general feel of "been there - done that" to the whole thing which, along with the plot holes and comedic elements, just doesn't jibe.
There was not much left of Ian Fleming's novelty original character James Bond by 1979. A pretty satisfied Roger Moore flesh out his modern fashion suits between the tiring pun, never even bother to draw his PPK once. By then the most expensive 007 movie so far - of course - but hundreds of miles from being discussed even in the mid rankings of all Bonds.<br/><br/>I think time ran out for that vaulting joinery the film team had become, and the competition with contemporary big-time movies made the producers lose some genuine Bond feeling on the way. In all it feels a little paradoxical, this Moonraker movie.<br/><br/>But it entertains all right, no question about that. A twelve year old today still can enjoy this to the fullest. But it is kind of a patchwork, with the "traveling around the world" theme, and the action scenes feels like more of fill-ins when the dialogue loses it's way.<br/><br/>But now to all my joys of Moonraker:<br/><br/>-The opening "parachute" scene is still a legendary classic, even by today's standards. Nowadays they just can computerize such scene.<br/><br/>-The return of Jaws was a master stroke by the scriptwriters. He's needed when the movie sometimes "fall asleep." The bloodthirstiness is there for a start, then lacks considerable….<br/><br/>-CIA wonder woman Lois ChilesHolly Goodhead. (My god, what a name. Ranks among the Goodnight's and Christmas's in 007 history.) Prettya picture; they straightened her natural curly hair just to get her Holly-look to feel right. As a participant of the world-wide popular TV-show "DALLAS" some year after this, she was allowed to show her natural hairdo (and bikini-filled curves)another "Holly", this time oil-business Harwood. <br/><br/>-Michael Lonsdale does a great, psychic villain, with the ordinary grandiloquent plans. Cold and designingwe want them.<br/><br/>-The returning of the "bottle-man" from TSWLM (now in Venice.) Catches some of the essential mood of this 007-era. Was to return for full-filling a triple appearance.<br/><br/>-The bawled ending - who surely was half the budget - is quite good, not to say real excellent by then standards. Well money spent.<br/><br/>But this was the end of such "Star Wars"-projects for EON productions. The 80's then started off quite brilliant….
Moonraker's only real imaginative surge comes in a rousing pre-credit sequence in which Bond is pushed out of an airplane and survives by deftly sky-diving to a parachutist and swiping his chute. After this, a bizarre blandness takes over. [2 July 1979, p.68]
When the space shuttle Moonraker is hijacked in midair while being transported to the United Kingdom, MI6 director M (<a href="/name/nm0496866/">Bernard Lee</a>) assigns his best agent 007 James Bond (<a href="/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a>), to investigate, starting with the shuttle's creator Drax Industries, headed by billionaire Hugo Drax (<a href="/name/nm0003909/">Michael Lonsdale</a>). Aided by NASA astronaut/scientist and CIA agent Dr Holly Goodhead (<a href="/name/nm0001042/">Lois Chiles</a>), they uncover a genocidal plot to destroy the Earth's population and repopulate it with selected couples currently being housed in an undetectable space-city hovering over the Earth. All of the James Bond movies are based, in some part, upon novels by British author Ian Fleming [1908-1964]. Moonraker is based on Fleming's 1955 novel of the same title. It was adapted for the screen by English screenwriter Christopher Wood. Wood, in turn, novelized the movie in James Bond and Moonraker, published the same year in which the movie was released (1979). Moonraker is the eleventh film in the EON Bond franchise and the fourth movie to feature <a href="/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a>James Bond, 007. Moonraker is sung by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey, who is the only performer to date that has done more than one Bond theme. She also did the themes for Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. Bond starts out on an airplane returning to London from Africa, where he was just finishing the last leg of another mission. He is then sent to California in order to talk with Hugo Drax, the builder of the Moonraker that was hijacked in midair. There he meets Dr Holly Goodhead for the first ime. When Bond learns that some of the parts for Drax's Moonrakers are being made at the Venni Glassworks in Italy, he flies to Venice where he encounters Holly Goodhead again. Bond figures out that Holly is a CIA operative, and they decide to work together. They learn that Drax is moving his operation to Brazil, so they fly to Rio. After Bond discovers Drax's base in the Amazon jungle, he and Holly commandeer a Moonraker and end up in outer space. Drax is playing Raindrop Prelude, opus 28, number 15 in D flat Major, composed by Frédéric Chopin. In the DVD commentary, it says that the effect was created with high-pressure air jets through a thin nozzle on a tube held off camera by Roger Moore himself. Moore suffered bruising to his cheeks afterwards.As he explains to Bond, one of the six Moonrakers that were needed for him to complete his mission developed a fault during its assembly. He needed to get back the one that was on the way to England because he was breaking down his operation on Earth and didn't have time to fix the ship that developed the fault or build another Moonraker. According to a commercial raiser of snakes, it's a reticulated python, native to Africa. It's the theme song from <a href="/title/tt0054047/">The Magnificent Seven (1960)</a> (1960). During his fight with behind the glass-faced clock, Bond spots some large crates with the Drax Industries logo and Rio de Jainero stenciled on them. One of the crates is partially broken open and Bond spots one of the globes he saw in the laboratory inside it. Bond and Holly knock out the pilots for the sixth Moonraker and take their place. Flying on a preset course, they eventually rendezvous with the other Moonrakers at a radar-cloaked space station where Drax has assembled numerous pairs of perfect people whom he intends to use to restart the human race. Bond and Holly disable the radar jammer in order to make the station visible from earth. The U.S. subsequently sends a military shuttle to investigate. Meanwhile, Drax has launched the first three of 50 globes carrying the deadly nerve toxin to earth in his attempt to wipe out the imperfect human race. A laser battle in space takes place when the military shuttle arrives, and Bond manages to eject Drax into space after shooting him with a cyanide-tipped dart. The space station begins to break up, so Bond and Holly attempt to get away in Drax's personal Moonraker, but they can't get the release work. Jaws (<a href="/name/nm0001423/">Richard Kiel</a>), having been convinced to turn sides when Bond points out that Drax won't allow him and Dolly (<a href="/name/nm0712255/">Blanche Ravalec</a>) to live in his perfect world, agrees to help and frees the Moonraker. As the space station begins to disintegrate around Jaws and Dolly, their module also detaches from the station; they go floating into space just before the space station explodes. Bond and Holly track down the three globes and destroy them. In the final scene, M has gotten visual contact with Bond's Moonraker. Bond and Holly are seen floating in space with only a sheet to cover their naked bodies. "I think he's attempting re-entry," says Q. Bond flicks off the camera, and Holly asks him to "take [her] around the world one more time." After Bond destroys the last globe, a Houston controller states that the American shuttle rescued two survivors "a tall man and a short, blonde woman", indicating that Jaws and Dolly did indeed survive. Bond comes across Drax when M has Bond expose hima card cheat. Drax has a red beard that covers scarring on his face. The Moonraker is a missile instead of a space shuttle. Jaws and Chang aren't in the book. Dr.Holly Goodhead is instead a Scotland Yard agent named Galatea "Gala" Brand. Drax turns out to be a Nazi named Graf Hugo von der Drache and the Moonraker is secretly aimed to hit London. Drache captures James and Gala and plans to cook them with the Moonraker's rockets. They escape and James changes the gyros then he and Gala hide in the shower turned on full blast. Drache escapes in a Russian submarine but a reprogrammed Moonraker blows him out of the water. Bond and Gala are exiled to France until the event blows over but Gala reveals to Bond that she's engaged to marry another man. Including Moonraker, Moore made seven movies in which he played James Bond: <a href="/title/tt0070328/">Live and Let Die (1973)</a> (1973), <a href="/title/tt0071807/">The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)</a> (1974), <a href="/title/tt0076752/">The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)</a> (1977), Moonraker (1979), <a href="/title/tt0082398/">For Your Eyes Only (1981)</a> (1981), <a href="/title/tt0086034/">Octopussy (1983)</a> (1983), and <a href="/title/tt0090264/">A View to a Kill (1985)</a> (1985).
