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 Adventure. A space shuttle is stolen enroute to London and M sends 007 out to apologize to the shuttle creator - billionaire Hugo Drax. While visiting Drax's estate several attempts are made on Bond's life, making Drax himself the number one suspect. Bond also meets Dr. Holly Goodhead, a NASA scientist who is also a CIA agent investigating Drax. Their investigations lead Bond to discover a plot to murder the world's population so that Drax can repopulate the planet in his image. The chase takes Bond all over the world - California, Brazil, the Amazon Jungle and, finally, to Drax's huge space-city over the Earth. Drax, meanwhile, has hired a old friend of Bond to take care of any problems - the steel-toothed killer Jaws…… Roger Moore's first two 007 films - 'Live & Let Die' and 'The Man With The Golden Gun' - clambered aboard whatever cinematic bandwagons were rolling at the time, such as blaxploitation and martial arts. By the end of the '70's, sci-fi was back in vogue thanks to 'Star Wars', hence 'Moonraker' replaced 'For Your Eyes Only' as the next Bond movie.<br/><br/>Until 'Die Another Day' in 2002, it was universally regarded as the nadir of the series. I disagree. One has to remember that around this time Kevin McClory was threatening a 'Thunderball' remake starring Sean Connery, and thus Cubby Broccoli could not afford to takes risk with the formula.<br/><br/>The film bears little resemblance to Fleming's book, which concerned a nuclear rocket attack on London. As 'The Spy Who Loved Me' had proved popular with audiences, it was decided to give them more of the same, hence Christopher Wood's script had the villain hijacking space shuttles instead of submarines, and Richard Kiel's 'Jaws' returned to menace Bond. Lewis Gilbert once more supervised the mayhem.<br/><br/>Bearded French actor Michael Lonsdale made an excellent 'Hugo Drax'. Like 'Stromberg', he is wealthy, and plans to create a new civilisation by destroying the old one. Ken Adam once again delivers some marvellous sets, such as the Pyramid control centre and Drax's Space City.<br/><br/>The action scenes were even wilder that those of 'Spy', including a magnificent free-fall pre-credits scene, Bond's gondola turning into a hovercraft, Jaws and Bond getting to grips on a cable car over Rio, a speedboat chase in South America, and a shoot-em-up finale in outer space. John Barry produced another fabulous score, particularly 'Flight Into Space'.<br/><br/>As a strapping young lad growing up in '70's Britain, I always made a point of seeing the latest Bond, usually with my friends in tow. We did not care if the films were faithful to Fleming, if there was too much humour, or if Moore was wooden, we went to have a good time and did.<br/><br/>No offence to Connery, but for us Moore was The Man. Suave, sophisticated and debonair. On leaving the theatre we would attempt to recreate Bond's fights, usually resulting in one of us being cautioned by the police.<br/><br/>And the gadgets! 'Moonraker' outdid them all. I once tried to build Bond's wrist-dart gun. I don't think anybody walked out of a Timothy Dalton Bond feeling like they could conquer the world, but with Roger's we did. And we saw them more than once in theatres.<br/><br/>I do wish that some of the gags had wound up on the cutting room floor, namely 'Jaws' flapping his arms after his parachute breaks, Alfie Bass' cameo as a drunken Italian, and a pigeon doing a double-take as Bond's gondola roars by. Take these out and you have a pretty decent Bond movie.<br/><br/>Sadly, 'Moonraker' marked the final appearance of Bernard Lee as 'M'. Well its take to review Moonraker, its not the best Bond Film, but at the same time its not the worst either. What can we say about it. Well Bond having chased bad guys all over the Earth needed a new challenge perhaps so now we takes his adventures into outer space.<br/><br/>Maybe the reason this Bond film just isn't quite like the others is because its trying I'm my opinion to follow some of the Science Fiction films that we around at the time an not so much the traditional Bond theme. I mean driving a Gondola with wheels? <br/><br/>Too Camp for my taste. <br/><br/>Its bond so I watch it. But not as much as others. Moonraker is mercifully much better than recent Bondage, with fantastic special effects, some excellent buffery (cracks at Star Wars, Close Encounters, Clint Eastwood, to name but a few), and the usual location-hopping style that makes Versailles feel like Disneyland. 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> as 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 him as a 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). a5c7b9f00b Betrayed movie free download hdI Saw the Devil online freeThe One Last Time download movie freeA Man and His Mate movie in hindi hd free downloadDespicable Me 3 torrentBlood Wake full movie in hindi 720p downloadBurn the Whole Place Down full movie hd 720p free downloadthe Stuber full movie download in hindiKung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters in hindi free downloadJustice League vs. Teen Titans movie in hindi dubbed download
