Furbaby jumped on Simone's lap and chased her thought COMPLETELY away!

Patrick

Yaphet Kotto rules(also an impeccable late 90s/early 00s screamo band)

Matt O'Keefe

Roger Moore is the Bond I grew up with.

Mike FromOz

I'm in hospital for emergency eye surgery (detatched retina), so I have to wait to see the full version. It sucks as I really like this one, despite its weirdness. Enjoy, everybody! Looking forward to catching up with all the new content 😁

TomGas2025

Hope you get well soon...and complete

Matt O'Keefe

I am waiting on Octopussy. Will they both just crack up at the title?

Mastervodo

Pretty sure they did that one, and cracked up the whole movie.

Mastervodo

I prefer the Guns N' Roses version of the title song myself. Anyone else?

Marko T.

One of my favorites.

GAB

The saying is "live and let live" meaning show tolerance of others' foibles. "Live and Let Die" is the title of Ian Fleming's second Bond novel and is an obvious play on the saying as 007 is licensed to kill.

Mike FromOz

Same! Axl's yowling suits the song so well 😁

Forkbeard83

you've probably been told this, but Roger More was first approached to play Bond in Dr No, but was busy filming the spy tv show The Saint at the time. Weirdly, there is a trend for Bond to go to actors who lost out at the previous audion. More lost to Connery, Dolton lost to More, Brosnan lost to Dalton (Aslo while making a spy tv show, Remmington Steel).

blerbaberpaterb

live and let die is also a saying and means essentially the same thing. just less frequently used. it existed as a phrase before the novel.

dudewheresmycar

Fun fact. Yaphet Kotto who plays Mister Big in this was offered the role of Captain Jean Luc Picard in TNG but turned it down, a decision he later admitted he came to regret.

Warmachine1228

Fun fact... the boat jump during the boat chase scene spent MANY years as the longest boat jump in the Guinness World Book of Records. Also, Live and Let Die was not only a worldwide smash hit, but it was the 1st Bond theme song nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Jonathan thomas

You guys should do a post where we can make suggestions!

Warmachine1228

I don't "prefer" it but it's definitely my 2nd favorite Guns n Rose's song after Welcome to the Jungle.

Ben Gilbert

Cavill did make the spy thriller The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which was based on a 60s TV series inspired by the popularity of James Bond.

Cinebinge

hi Jonathan, recommendations are best made in the comments of weekly polls as well as direct messages to us. We receive an email for every comment and every dm, so once a recommendation is made, it will be logged in our backlog. Cheers!

Matt O'Keefe

Octopussy is the Bond movie from 1983. I think you are thinking of Pussy Galore from Goldfinger in '64. They will get a whole new Pussy in 10 years from this movie.

Spacedone

With the start of the Roger Moore era, the Bond movies begin to be influenced by other popular movies/genres of the 70s. Live and Let Die is heavily influenced by the 'Blaxploitation' movies that were very popular around the time it was released and features a lot of the themes, positive and negative, of those movies as well as hiring many African-American actors who got their breaks in them. They also take on a playful tone that's purely Roger Moore. It's a bit of a change to the 'dangerous' feeling of Sean Connery's Bond.

nigel Macbug

1:28:46 lifeline for George a Russian helicopter is named alligator

Matt O'Keefe

7Up The uncola-will anyone get this reference to a certain person, place, or thing in this movie.

Matt O'Keefe

Yeah, hope your surgery goes well.

jmundt33a

Which was a lesser GR effort.

jmundt33a

Mastervodo—er, no. I’d never heard that opinion before. Sir Froendzone—Interesting. I’m not familiar enough with Guns N Roses to make that call.

jmundt33a

Moore was actually a few years older than Connery.

Jonathan thomas

Ahh not a problem! Thank you for confirming.

jmundt33a

JW will return, sadly. And crazy deaths for the pun became a staple, even in parodies.

GAB

"Lucky at cards, unlucky in love" is the other idiom that was twisted.

GAB

Roger Moore was a big TV star in "The Saint", "Maverick" and "The Persuaders". He was also someone that Ian Fleming thought would be more suitable for the role of Bond than Connery. However, Fleming died in 1964 so he never got to see this realised.

Mastervodo

Never had it... never will......

Mastervodo

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is a solid spy/action film, and I hope Simone and George will watch it as if it were another Bond film.

Simon

Yeah the saying is "Lucky at cards, unlucky in love". So Bond was flipping it, intending to be 'lucky' with Soliataire because he lost at gin rummy. Also George, you will definitely get 'used to' Roger Moore. He's done the most Bond films, and was 'THE' Bond of the 70s & 80s. Can't wait to watch your reactions to 'Moore' Bond films ;)

Mandi

The Roger Moore era of Bond finally begins! Moore was my first Bond, and even though I like Connery better, he still has that nostalgia feeling for me. By the way, since you said you don’t have any familiarity with Timothy Dalton, you should really watch Flash Gordon to see him in a pre-Bond role!

Matt O'Keefe

George, you have seen Timothy Dalton as the lead villain in Hot Fuzz.

Erik D

90s kid loading screen: 8 down, 9 to go

Jeff K.

I'd never seen this movie before watching this reaction (I'm a very casual Bond fan), but I have to wonder if some Simpsons stuff is in homage. Like, I know that Chief Wiggum PI is mostly a nod to Magnum PI and Miami Vice, but there's definitely a "Look Big Daddy, it's Regular Daddy!" vibe to Kananga, and the boat chase made me instantly think of Knightboat.

Max

I want to kindly let you know that George Lazenby's last name is pronounced "LAY-zuhn-bee".

Jeff K.

Oh I know that. I'm just saying that the convenient canals/rivers/etc to have an entire chase in this movie just reminded me of Knightboat so I'm wondering if it was a combination of the two as bits of inspiration.

Warmachine1228

Several Americans were considered for James Bond for this film including Burt Reynolds, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and interestingly... Dick Van Dyke (Happy 100th bday!) Also a young Anthony Hopkins was considered as well.

Ginger

"That would be the opposite of the phrase "live and let live". Yes, that's the joke. :D It's meant as: He lives and lets other people die (ie. kills them)

Happy Hanukkah

You are quite correct, and so is George (trivially) in that Moore was the oldest debuting Bond. Rough age* when first (and last) playing Bond: Connery: 32 (41) Lazenby: 30 Moore: 46 (58) Dalton: 41 (43) Brosnan: 42 (49) Craig: 38 (53) For the two non-Eon movies, Connery was 63 and David Niven was 57. * Not bothering with either months or vagaries of movie production. [edited]

Happy Hanukkah

2:55 I'm highly disappointed they didn't go with When the Saints Go Marching In, if only to welcome Roger Moore. :-) George is in fine form; 8:29 will be difficult to top. ("James you ignorant slut!")

Happy Hanukkah

He's just like that man they call Georgie Puddin' Pie He f--ks all the girls and then he lets them die.

Happy Hanukkah

Flash Gordon also features another Bond character (Topol).

jmundt33a

I’ve only heard that in reversed form in While You Were Sleeping. Have they already done that one, or is it a Christmas movie they have yet to explore?

Namaste Life Coaching

Simone was correct that the figure who first rose up from the grave was a real actor/character. When Bond shoots him, it's replaced by a inanimate figure.

Zedarion

For me Roger Moore is James Bond and is my nr 1 Bond and then Sean Connery as close second. My least liked bond is Daniel Craig as i have said before hes to different.

Dee Aitch

I would nominate Dalton as the most posh Bond, even over Moore. Who is quite posh, I won't deny. Bond ages on debut: 32 years, 2 months Sean Connery 57 years, 2 months David Niven 30 years, 4 months George Lazenby 45 years, 9 months Roger Moore 41 years, 4 months Timothy Dalton 42 years, 6 months Pierce Brosnan 38 years, 9 months Daniel Craig I'd have guessed Craig was the oldest, but you're right, it was Moore. New Orleans is pronounced Nyawlins.

Max Krause

George, you HAVE seen Timothy Dalton. He played Simon Skinner, the supermarket guy in Hot Fuzz.

Patrick - Excelsior

The guy, driving the boat, is introduced as Qurrel Jr., while not specifically stated, it is possible that he is the the son of the guy that drove Bond's boat in Dr. No whose name was Quarrel. He died in that movie when burned to death by the "dragon". The producers offered Clint Eastwood the role of James Bond.

Jonathan Eaton

The expression is" Live and Let LIVE". Bond is saying "Live and Let DIE".

Mango

For more Yaphet Kotto, can I recommend Midnight Run? It’s a tenuous link but I love that film and I don’t think I’ve seen it on a poll.

Jay Davis

Like Tom Baker IS The Doctor, Roger Moore IS James Bond to me. Don't get me wrong. Jon Pertwee and Sean Connery are pretty okay actors... I guess. They're just not MY guys!!!

Young Blood Priest

Surprised you guys didn’t recognize Yaphet Kotto from the first Alien movie. George, on the term “honky”. For us blacks, at least in North America, it’s a jab at white people’s (English speakers)voices. To us they have a nasal tone when they speak…like honks (honky).

Brandon

In the books, Quarrel is introduced in the 2nd which was Live and Let Die. Then the character appeared again in Dr. No which was written later on. He gets killed in that book in the same way as the movie. Since they adapted the books in a random order, they decided to make the boat driver in this movie the original Quarrel's son to avoid the inconsistency.

Philipp Roensch

Roger Moore is certainly the old gentleman here, much more the stoic and often dressed up. Way less hair and globe trotter vibes to Connery, this Bond is more of the English crown's decorated representative. He has to trade with his stuntman quite often, but they do way riskier stunts now, good tradeoff. The Blaxpoitation genre only got started at the time, and the villains here are certainly stereotypes, but they are cool, organized and winning for most of the film. Also, new Bond trope unlocked for you: chases with lots of collateral, often for comedic effect.

Jason Pratt

Just part way through, not sure if you two clocked it, but the design on the back of the tarot cards is stylized 007 motif.

Colin Ybarra

When I was a kid I had a James Bond film trivia book, and in that book it said that the sheriff character in this movie was to stave off accusations that the movie was racist, considering all the villains are black. I guess they were afraid the movie would seem anti-black unless they had a ridiculous redneck white guy in it too. I've not read that trivia anywhere else, so I don't know if the author was just speculating or what.

John

Given your thoughts about this movie. I would recommend the movie Lake Placid

Rayna & Mike Sitter

If you like Lazenby like you do, you're going to fucking love Timothy Dalton, who is the voice is Mr Pricklepants in Toy Story 3, by the way. I can't wait until you get to his movies. Love you guys. Keep having fun.

dasgrove

I am enjoying Simone’s “you bitch” retort. Effectively used.

Collinson

You've seen the main villain before in Alien where he played Parker.

Michael

They wanted Roger Moore to play James Bond after “You Only Live Twice “ but he wasn’t available because of his show “The Saint” which I would recommend watching for maybe a few episodes to see why they wanted him,George Lazenby was offered another Bond film buy his agent advised him against it as he was getting other offers

JoeNotCharles

Then they wanted Timothy Dalton, but he turned it down because he felt he was too young - but Moore was available now. Then when Moore retired they wanted Pierce Brosnan, but he couldn't get out of his TV contract for Remington Steele - but Dalton was willing now. Then there was a big delay after Dalton's second movie, and when they were finally ready to go forward with it, Dalton turned it down because he felt he was too old. But Brosnan was available now!

Raven Blackrose

Wow. That was...bad. a really bad movie. Never seen it before and...eesh. i knew there was some stinkers in the franchise but dang.

Marcus Hicks

There was a common saying when I was growing up: everyone wants to see more of Jane Seymour (Solitaire). She was quite the sex symbol right up to the early 90s.

Zeryn

Ah, I see they made an error. Crocodiles only live in South Florida. Louisiana is alligators.

Ron

After his role as Baron Samedi, Geoffrey Holder became the spokesperson for 7-Up, leveraging his deep voice and signature laugh in the brand's "Uncola" advertising campaign. (He was the guy at the end of the movie sitting at the end of train with half-white makeup, a top hat, and laughing) . One of the best versions of his "Uncola" campaign is this commercial from 1984: "Ha, Ha, Haaaa - 7Up the "Uncola" (30s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFxFWs9_4is. Whenever I hear him laugh, I always think of this commercial. Ha, ha, haaa. Marvelous!

Happy Hanukkah

I've got a fever, and the only cure is more Medicine Woman.

Ashkaun

Welcome to the goofy era of Bond. Gonna have to wait for Timothy Dalton for the good shit.

Pete Luhtaniemi

I guess they wanted to make Moores Bonds feel more like The Saint series, action adventure spy comedy. To be fair, Connery and Moore are my two favourites, their Bonds are the feel good movies I used to watch when I was a kid. Next one is my second favourite Moore Bond, just after Octopussy. And for the LOTR nerds like George and Simone, I think they're going to enjoy it too. Goodnight.

Zipper

Was also in Wedding Crashers

simon brouillard

Georges “whaaat” when JW appeared 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he might be the worst character in a James Bond movie

Ben Stevens

@Simone, there was a time when Magic was played without sleeves... and we always bridge shuffled our cards! i definitely still play a white border Reanimate that looks like it was used to shovel cards out of the grave. good times.

Mastervodo

My biggest regret reading REDR58's posts is that they are so brief.

Mastervodo

I love that JD Vance is in that movie.

Matt Blanchette

George is going to just be quoting LOTR the entire time he's watching "Man with the Golden Gun", I bet... :-D "...so, Hai Fat has chosen... DEATH."

Matt Blanchette

For future reference in future videos, his name is pronounced "Laze-enby" -- so the "Laze" makes a pun out of that "Someplace to laze about" line in the film. (I know; I had to train myself not to call him LAZ-enby by mistake, too, since that one episode of "Treehouse of Horror" where they namedrop him with the wrong pronunciation steered me wrong, at first. lol)

Matt Blanchette

I hope you've brought GUM for EVERYbody ON LINE, hmmmmm!

Matt Blanchette

It's from slang for "Hungarian", actually.

Matt Blanchette

So's Bruce Glover! But it's blink-and-you'll-miss-him.

Matt Blanchette

"Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Simon?"

Young Blood Priest

@Matt I’m sure that’s true but as far as this movie it refers to how black people hear white voices. That’s why when you hear black comedians imitate white people they speak in declarative sentences while speaking through their noses.

Darren Harrison

The actual saying is "Live and Let Live", this is a play on the wording. Roger Moore was actually older than Sean Connery in 1973 and had been among those considered for the first film "Dr No". You might be interested to learn that Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny, was Canadian and had attended drama school with Roger Moore.

2026-09-05 05:00 LAY-zun-bee! Also, I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that you think the real phrase is 'live and let die' and not 'live and let live'. How does that make sense? Right! See you in the next one.

I'm just catching up now, 2 weeks later, but the second he started talking, when Bond first gets pulled into the room with the tarot reader, and even though I haven't seen those commercials since the early/mid-80s, I said "Isn't that the 7-UP guy?" I forgot about the "Uncola" thing. My strong memory was of the "Never had it, never will" remark, which I think was in a bunch of commercials, like this one — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OHGXiFtQCo — and which I always thought were funny as a little kid, because to me it made it sound like he was saying he never had 7-Up, and never would. Great choice for those commercials, though! I always had to watch, because of his voice, and charm.

gfixler

It makes absolutely no sense to me that they didn't use rubber crocodiles for that stunt.

Justin Leone

George: You've seen Timothy Dalton at least once before. He was the villain in Hot Fuzz. He was also the voice of Mr. Pricklepants in Toy Story 3. And if you like OHMSS' more "human" version of Bond, you're going to love Timothy Dalton's movies, especially after Moore's run of mostly very silly movies. The Living Daylights and License to Kill are two of the best movies in the franchise, and Dalton's Bond is a good mix of competent and relatable.

pinkdino99

This is a great time capsule of Harlem decimated during the Regan era. It has such a great henchmen line up, and Solitaire was fab. No Bond car though.
