Random notes
- I did an earlier review and my opinion hasn't changed much I think this is a solid entry
- superb galaxy of villains, all are strong: Kanaga, Tee Hee, Whisper, the cab driver, the singer - they are scary opponents
- Bond being a white man in an unfamiliar world helps add a lot of tension (though he can always draw on Felix Leiter for help)
- two annoying bits - the baddies constanly try to kill Bond as they should but then they later do it by putting him in an alligator farm and dangling over sharks instead of killing him - I mean, his escaping is fun but it's just a little silly
- Jane Seymour a little young but achingly pretty and a good actor - Roger Moore just young enough to not make it too icky (he gets her into bed by lying)
- Yaphet Kotto a superb actor and David Hedison was the best Felix Leiter until Jeffrey Wright
- fairly witty script full of memorable bits
- Roger Moore very confident from the get-go.
