I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.
Revisited it recently.
This is the fourteenth in the Bond series and the final appearance of Roger Moore as James Bond.
In this movie Bond has to deal with a villain Zorin, who is planning to blow up Silicon Valley. (I think he is fed up with the geeks n nerds).
Apart from Zorin none of the henchmen are noteworthy.
This one's a bit violent
The main villain Zorin, a sadistic psychopath (played smoothly by Christopher Walken) displays a near-total lack of loyalty to his own men n shoots hundreds of people with machine guns n that too with a smile.
A man gets minced in an underwater exhaust fan.
In this movie Bond does an amazing horse hurdle race.
It has a lovely pre credit scene of that of a breathtaking ski chase.
It has a spectacular chase up and down the Eiffel Tower which must have inspired the parkour chase sequence in Casino Royale.
The climactic fight scene on Golden Gate Bridge is very well done.
This movie is Dolph Lundgren's first on-screen role, playing General Gogol's KGB bodyguard Venz but without any dialogues.
He is present before the iconic dialogue, "No one ever leaves the KGB".
In this movie Bond gets to cool off with Mary Stavin, Fiona Fullerton, Tanya Roberts n Grace Jones
(A true Amazonian female n better than the fake Gal Gadot. Grace Jones was the first sexually aggressive Bond girl, evidenced by her reversal of positions - she climbed on top).
Many fellas say that Muad Adams is present in the movie as an extra n uncredited of that of a passerby. I tried but didn't notice her.
Some info on Zorin:
Max Zorin is a sharp businessman, operating on the microchip market. He is highly intelligent n acts very fast cos he is the product of a Nazi medical experimentation during World War II, in which pregnant women were injected with massive quantities of steroids in an attempt to create "super-children." Most of the pregnancies failed while the few surviving babies grew to become extraordinarily intelligent-but also psychopathic.
After the war, Hans Glaub aka Carl Mortner, the German scientist who conducted the experiments, raised a young Zorin. Zorin was later trained by KGB agents.
