Contrary to what the narrator of this review says about the scene in which Mr. Big/Dr. Kanaga interrogated Bond, it is one of the best, most dramatic and tense scenes in the history of the Bond film franchise primarily because of the superb acting by Yaphet Kotto and Roger Moore's "cool under pressure" Bond! And George Martin made the absolute right decision to not musically score most of the 17-minute long boat chase sequence because he knew that (1) it would have been very difficult to maintain the tension of that long a scene with music and (2) the noise of the boats' jet engines would have taken away from a music background in that scene. And the character's name is J.W. Pepper not "W. Pepper". How could the narrator of this video review of the film get that wrong?!

J. W. Pepper is a blast. His cameo in Superman 2 rocks...

Good point about the boat chase being too long and no music, although when I first saw this movie in theaters in 1973 my brothers and father and I thought it was so amazing. So, I guess it's one of those things that worked at the time but not as good in retrospect. As for Sheriff JW Pepper, I actually feel opposite of you about his two appearances -- just a silly Southern slob here like Jackie Gleason in Smokey and the Bandit and the cop in Dukes of Hazzard; but in Man with the Golden Gun he becomes a blatant racist spewing terrible derogatory slurs, but I get your perspective that it seems more outrageous since he is out of his Southern home where those things are more commonly heard. Anyway, thanks for the recap.

Wow, that was cool seeing Roger Moore in that early James Bond skit. I've never heard of that before, so it was fun toi see it. I did know about some of the other TV shows, like The Saint. But I do like Roger Moore as Bond, and always thought he did a great job. His humor was a little different that Sean Connery and I think that was smart move, not wanting to just copy him. Moore had his own style, and I always thought it added to his run as Bond. I laughed my ass off with your whole "mind blowing" video when Mr. Big revealed he was Kananga! The movie had alot of typical Bond funny and not so funny moments, and atleast some "better" jokes, but yeah the whole Kanaga thing blowing up was pretty horrible. But as always, you were able to provide your own humor to this Bond Recap, making moments like that, and all the others, alot easier to watch! Keep up the great work Jeroen!

I had learned about this some time before I saw this review (But only years later after I had actually seen the movie as a kid) , but the truly weird fact is how virtually EVERYONE in Harlem is okay with this open murder and coverup, and it is kind of explained with Mr Big in charge keeping everyone toeing the line, but it's still kind of eery in the starting scenes with the crowd just smoothly going along this scripted scenario without any sign of remorse, which weirdly kind of feeds into the voodoo theme if just thematically.

RIP Clifton James

The first time I seen the film was when it was broadcast on ABC in the early 80s. One of the commercials that came up before the end was actor Geoffrey Holder pitching 7up. :)

Cananga inflates and burst to death. "Welcome to the Roger Moore era."

"Did ya ever think about gettin' a drivers license boy?"

The "Fat Southern Sheriff" was a response to the popularity of the character "J.W." on those old Dodge Challenger commercials. The character was so popular that the actor, wearing the same costume/uniform appeared in cameos on several television shows. "You're in a heap of trouble, boy!", I believe was his catch phrase. By the time "Live and Let Die" premiered, the U.S. passed EPA laws which killed the high performance engines such as the 440 and the 426 ci which Dodge used. Hence, J.W. stopped appearing after that. I guess it took another bond film to prove that the "Fat Southern Sheriff" craze was over. I love your Bond recaps. They're awesome!

Well, exploitation will continue on the next Bond film, "Man with the Golden Gun", where every one is "Kung Fu Fighting". Too bad that Bruce Lee wasn't still alive to be in that film.

I always took the New Orleans funeral procession to be realistically accurate, just written into the script.

I may be wrong, but I thought it was a unique proceedure.

Fun Fact...the producers wanted Paul Mac to just write the theme, not to perform it, but Paul said, "What I write, I sing", so they went along with it. Along with "Nobody Does It Better", it was the biggest JB themes of the 70s!

I admit, the ending death scene of Kananga was pretty weak and very unrealistic. But everything else, including the long boat chase scene was fantastic. I wish they would've had a scene where 007 was at that fake funeral only to get them back for killing the other 00's.

From what I heard, Llewelyn was working on a TV series at the time and he actually did get out of it only to find out they weren't including Q in the film at all. "If you're watching these movies in order?" I did. I'm going to do a complete marathon when I get Spectre on DVD.

NEVER AGAIN? Never say never,Sean

The one line from this movie that I couldn’t get out of my head, was the one where Baron Samedi is playing a reed flute which turns into a radio to which he says “They’re heading for the hill.” The line itself isn’t that cool, but the way he said it was just so creepy to me.

"This crowd" doing "this" is called a New Orleans funeral. They ALWAYS do this there, so it's nothing extraordinary.

This is one of the more wacky James Bond movies, and coincidentally it's the one that most sticks into my childhood memory.

I've been watching all the Bond movies in order and something I noticed about "Live And Let Die" was that it seemed as though, for the first time, they weren't filming chase scenes by having the actors in front of a projector screen. Roger Moore is actually filmed in the cars, bus and boats during the chase scenes. Oh and a bit of trivia: I don't know if this record still stands, but the scene when Bond's boat jumps over the sheriff's car was in the Guinness Book of World Records for the furthest boat jump.

Why didn't they cast sexy Pam Grier in that role??!! I'm sure she was available in 1973!!! What were the producers thinking or snorting??!! That skinny black woman was not even "room temperature " warm to me!!! She must have been cast, just save money!!💰 😆 🤣 😂 Then they instantly die, not one drop of blood on his knife , clothing or the ground?! And then this "David Copperfield" magic trick when they drop this casket on top of the C.I.A. agent!!🎩 ✨️ WTF is happening here?!?!

Kind of cool to see Bond's home.

Definitely in the lower half of Moore's movies for me anyway . 1. For your eyes only 2. Spy who loved me 3.octopussy 4. Live and let die 5. Moonraker 6.man with a golden gun 7. View to a kill

and now on to my favourite bond , what a great film with one of the most sexy bond girls ever . fantastic and funny review sir.

Yes, gotta love Jane Seymour, particularly when she was young and smoking hott in the 70's... Loved her in the original "Battlestar Galactica" as well, before they killed off her character (which was a real shame). Later! OL J R :)

Very memorable review. Classic henchman and stunts

Great review.

"Live And Let Die"(1973). Roger Moore. ***** Happy 50th Anniversary!!!!! ***** 6 July 1973 ----- 6 July 2023

First Bond, I saw in a theatre. Will always be my favourite!

FWIW, I believe the upbeat dancing & music in the funeral procession was a riff on a traditional New Orleans "Jazz Funeral", where the funeral procession would slowly march to the cemetery to the strains of expected dirge-like funeral music, but once the graveside ceremony was over the band would strike up upbeat Dixieland Jazz and all the mourners would Joyously dance back out, I guess in celebration of the loved one being "called home" or the preciousness of life or something. Anyway, it was once a fairly famous part of New Orleans culture, although I suspect that if it's still done at all anymore it's only as some kind of show for tourists.

Brian Gonigal i believe they still do this in New Orleans maybe not all the time but i think they do it sometimes. People they really stick to tradition and this part of the culture out therr

That's a rather refreshing tradition. I enjoy that kind of acceptance of mortality.

merry christmas! :)

I wonder if Desmond Llewellyn was filming the final series of "Follyfoot" at this time? ("Follyfoot" is available to watch on KZread and is a childhood favorite of mine)

Without a doubt my favourite moore film and easily in my top 5 favourite bond movies. I also think this is one of the best paced films in the entire series. Btw keep up the awesome work, Jeroen im loving this series!

Roger Moore looks great not a boring moment in the movie

More discussion is needed about “Names is for tombstones baby” :)

In my opinion, Live and Let Die had a a lot going for it like you said, a badass villain, a really hot girl (Ms Solitaire) and an extraordinary plot but the way it was executed was mediocre. Yet another Bond film that sounds cool on paper but fails to live up to its expectation for the most part. Still a good film nonetheless, I give it about 7/10.

This was a different and offbeat Bond movie. I would rank it anywhere between #9 and #12 on the order of best Bond movies depending on my mood. Sir Paul's intro song definitely helps its cause.

I've also noticed a lot of Dirty Harry aesthetic in this film (the guns, the jive, the inner city race issues, th3 style of crime, etc)...that shows you how big of a film Dirty Harry was since it influenced the established Bond Franchise.
