45 years ago during the summer of Star Wars and Smokey & the Bandit….there was only one action hero who dared to step into the ring and his name was Moore…Sir Roger Moore. 😊 By this point, Moore had played the character of James Bond in two previous entries in this franchise that made some money and had their fans but were still dwarfed by the popularity of the previous films starring Sean Connery – that all changed with this being an international smash hit and establishing Moore’s quippier version of 007 as a fan favorite for years to come.
For his latest mission, Bond has to team up with a rival agent from the KGB, Agent XXX (Barbara Bach), to try to take down yet another powerful industrialist who wants to take over the world – that would be Stromberg played Curd Jurgens who has designs on ruling it all from underwater. And Stromberg is helped by a rather large henchman with a million dollar smile…..filled with sharp metal teeth whose name is Jaws! Richard Kiel co-stars as Jaws in this action epic directed by Lewis Gilbert.
