Product Description

Product Description

Roger Moore makes his 007 debut, replacing Sean Connery as Britain's most celebrated secret agent. In the eighth instalment of the franchise, Bond is tasked with cracking a voodoo-controlled drug smuggling racket in the Caribbean, and sets about the task with his customary verve, finding time for speedboat chases and crocodile encounters along the way. Admirable support is offered by Clifton James, as an irate Southern Sheriff, and Jane Seymour, as tarot expert Solitaire but they face a formidable foe in drugs baron Kananga (Yaphet Kotto).

From Amazon.co.uk

Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately re-established Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good 70s. Live and let Die also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I'm making my way through all the recent Bond on Blu-Ray releases, and strangely enough as I move through the franchise from the oldest (Dr.No), the image quality seems to be very slowly deteriorating. That's not to say that the image is poor; it is in fact excellent, but Dr.No's was astonishing and is over a decade older. The colours appear a Little muted compared to the earlier films, and the picture is more grainy, particularly in the garish red walls of Mr. Big's Fillet of Soul hideout. However, there is plenty of detail in the close-ups of the actors faces, and the materials of the clothing are rendered so well you could almost feel them. In general it is still a great improvement over the Ultimate Edition DVD (and that was pretty good for a start off).

The sound however seems to be improving as I move through the series (apart from a little dip for From Russia With Love), and for the first time Live and Let Die has a properly working surround treatment to my ears. There is real activity in the LF channel, with explosions now having real impact, and there is some decent use of the rear speakers as well, with only a few occasions sounding a little contrived (the birdsong in the Bayou scene for example). Effects steering is also very believable. The score is delivered beautifully, with plenty of audible detail particularly in the percussion, it also swells nicely into the rears to envelope you as you watch. I did notice however that in a couple of scenes the music drops into mono (the boat race just before the disruption of the wedding for example), this is pretty noticeable and sounds a little strange.

I didn't experience the worryingly long loading times I had with the earlier Bond films, which is an improvement. The extras appear to be identical to the Ultimate Editions, although the major docs have been bumped to HD which is nice.

I may be biased because this was the first Bond film I saw, and the film that introduced me to the full cinema experience, but I rate this as the best Bond movie. With a new lead, all concerned seem to be trying that little bit harder, the style of the film is pitched just right - not too much humour to outweigh the sense of menace, and the speedboat chase must rate as one of the top action sequences of the series - wild, yet still not quite implausible, which is one of the problems with the more recent films - constantly out to outdo themselves until the stunts are so ridiculous that all credibility is lost. Also the bad guys with their sinister voodoo scarecrows add a chilling touch that few of these films have. all this and the priceless Sheriff JW Pepper... stop reading this rubbish and just buy it!

Roger Moore's tenure as James Bond lasted from 1973 to 1985, during which time the Bond series turned more towards a comic style and Bond became more known for one-liners than for being a spy and assassin. Some of Moore's films were, on the other hand, much more balanced with regars to humour. Live And Let Die is my favourite Roger Moore James Bond film. Although much of Ian Fleming's novel is abandoned, the film still carries a Fleming-esque flavour. This is in part due to the Caribbean setting. Filmed in Fleming's beloved Jamaica, LALD is Moore's first effort as Bond and he is most convincing as Ian Fleming's secret agent. He is a little more ruthless here, and although he has some tongue in cheek dialogue, it doesn't go overboard. The only time the comic side of the picture gets out of hand is when Clifton James is on screen hamming it up as Sheriff J.W Pepper. Also the death of the villain, Kananga is very far fetched, and doesn't look convincing on screen.

The film's strongest points are probably the score and the henchmen. The score was composed by Beatles producer George Martin and really gives the film an interesting. The title song is used as the main action theme and Martin also composed some other good themes which appear regularly in the score. As much as I am a fan of John Barry, I'm not convinced that he could have done a better job than Martin on this film. In fact, I can barely imagine the picture with a more traditional Barry score.

The villain's henchmen are excellent. Tee Hee, a tall sadist armed with a mechanical hook. Baron Samedi, a voodoo priest with a wonderful sadistic laugh. Whisper, an overweight, almost mute henchman. The villain himself is Dr. Kananga, a politician who also operates as a Harlem gangster.

In his first entrance as James Bond, Moore delves into the more humourous aspect of 007. He still manages to retain the suave and sex appeal which made Connery famous but brings something new to the role. The title song by Paul McCartney is excellently written and is played throughout the film. The DVD has some fabulous extras including the famous TV advert featuring Moore instructing us to 'drink a pinta milk a day' as one of the TV spots as well as the usual collectors booklet with in depth information about the film itself. Overall a good buy!

After the disappointment of watching a greying, slightly podgy Sean Connery going through the motions in 1971's 'Diamonds Are Forever', it was clear that the Bond producers needed an established actor to step into the role for the long term. Step forward Roger Moore.
Moore was already an internationally well known face on TV thanks to his portrayal of 'The Saint', as well as his other appearances in things like 'The Persuaders' and 'Ivanhoe'. He had also appeared in a number of movies, the most notable of which 'The Man Who Haunted Himself' is something of a cult classic. Moore had been earmarked for the role of James Bond on numerous occasions already, but by 1973, he was ready to take 007 into a new era.
'Live and Let Die' is a breath of fresh air. Moore's Bond is nothing like Connery's dangerous, 'alpha-male' interpretation, and that's the beauty here. Moore glides through the film effortlessly with style and never once tries to replicate any 'Conneryisms'. He plays it his own way with a raised eyebrow, the odd cigar and a perfectly delivered quip. That's not to say he's lightweight; Moore holds his own in the action scenes and looks good with a gun, brandishing it with the air of a secret agent who knows what he's doing.
In terms of the story, 'Live and Let Die' borrows a little bit from Ian Fleming's book but mainly taps into the 'blaxploitation' culture of the time, using a number of black actors in the villainous roles. Yaphet Kotto makes for a menacing heavy as Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga and plays it totally straight, which is quite refreshing. The plot itself is centred around the worldwide monopoly of heroin distribution, so it's a bit of a far cry from the megalomaniac, holding the world to ransom with a massive base inside a volcano.
