I always had mixed feelings about the use of the sheriff in those two movies as well. I think it falls under the category of 'should comic relief be used in action-adventure movies at all'. I think the 70's and 80's was a transitional period for the franchise, sort of an identity crisis for Bond's writers. I'm reminded of the scene where Bond slides down the snow covered mountain (A View To A Kill I believe) on a single snowmobile ski. They couldn't resist making a surfer comparison and backing it with "California Girls" by the Beach Boys. Mildly amusing, but a sign of the change of tone in the series from the old Cold War tension to more care-free comedy. Whether all of this was a product of the era, or how they thought Roger Moore should be used, is a matter for discussion (perhaps already covered in this thread).

Let me say this...any movie that combines Shirley Eaton and Honor Blackman not just stands alone as the unquestioned best Bond Girl combination ever..but name two British women in any movie that would compare?

Very few of the Roger Moore Bond films are watchable - I have always thought of them as "Bond-Lite." For Your Eyes Only is the best of them.

Roger Moore had the distinction in being in the three most Page 3 girl-laden films ever. From 'For Your Eyes Only' to 'A View To A Kill' page 3 girls were almost a given for the films. Known as The Girls a lot of them were really there as eye-candy and not many had any lines.
The numbers are: For Your Eyes Only: 5 girls Octopussy had 5 girls A View To A Kill had 6 girls After that they stopped using them although in the Ice Palace scene for Pierce Brosnan's 007 'Die Another Day' it did have Michelle Clack, Abby Essien and Anna Edwards all later Page 3 girls.

Mary Stavin appeared in Octopussy, when Bond checks into his hotel in India and as the hot agent in the iceberg sub in AVTAK. Both Maud Adams and Kristina Wayborn appeared in Octopussy as Octopussy and Magda, respectively. |

I think you can add Famke Janssen GoldenEye (Xenia Onatopp), Karen Seeberg(The Living Daylights) and Cecile Thomsen(Tomorrow Never Dies) to that list of hot Swedes. If I am wrong I am sure someone will point it out.

Famke Jansen is Dutch and Cecile Thomsen is Danish. Not sure about Karen Seeberg.

Just my two penneth, but for me "For Your Eyes Only" is where Bond under Moore started to lose it. A not enormously compelling plot; Carole Bouquet's performance was curiously detached and I found it hard to care about the tension between Julian Glover and Topol.

To me, of the 60s films, THUNDERBALL has the best looking female co-stars.
1. Luciana Paluzzi 2. Claudine Auger 3. Martine Beswick |
