Trivia:
Continuing an in-joke used in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979) marks the second appearance of Victor Tourjansky as the "man with bottle". He would return a third and final time in the next Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981), as the "man with wine glass". more
Goofs:
Factual errors: When the last Moonraker shuttle launches, the counter reads "T-" (T minus), however, it incorrectly counts forwards instead of backwards. (The timers for all the other Moonraker shuttles counted backwards.) more

Huge step for mankind, 28 September 2000

This James Bond adventure from 1979 takes our beloved agent 007 to outer space after he chases the crooks all over the world. He goes there with Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chines) and after them is the steel teeth Jaws (Richard Kiel) so that life in space doesn't get too boring.

Roger Moore does his job well without taking it too seriously.Humor has a big part in this movie.Moonraker is an excellent Bond adventure which is a little underrated.It has some brilliant action scenes for you to enjoy.

I really envy James Bond because he gets all the ladies and he gets to travel all over the world and in outer space.Sure his life is in danger all the time but that's what it takes to be a super agent.

If you want to see James Bond going sci-fi then this is a movie for you to watch.
