"In our business, Anya, people get killed. We both know that. So did he. It was either him or me. The answer to the question is yes. I did kill him." - James Bond, when asked by Anya if he killed her lover.

Why watch this? More Bond. Jaws. A very good movie.

Plot Summary: After submarines from both Britain and the Soviet Union disappear, James Bond is forced to team up with Russian agent Anya Amasova to investigate a shared threat. Their mission pits them against the aquatic-obsessed billionaire Karl Stromberg, who plans to wipe out the world and build a new civilization under the sea. With Stromberg's towering, steel-toothed henchman, Jaws, in pursuit, the two agents must work together despite their competing interests and personal conflict.

Dad's Preview: By his third turn as Bond, Roger Moore seems more comfortable as the famed British secret agent. The plot is very standard for most Bond films: beautiful women, murderous henchmen, inventive spy accessories, and an evil plan. The action is spectacular, and I feel Barbara Bach portrayed the perfect femme fatale - sexy, mysterious and dangerous. In my opinion, the villainous mastermind, Stromberg, is very forgettable, yet I really liked the massive, iron-teethed assassin called Jaws. What a deadly bite! Richard Kiel would reprise that role in Moonraker (1979). There is definitely a little self-parody going on, too, and I did like the lightness this added.
