View To a KillNAME OF SONG: A VIEW TO A KILL FILM: A VIEW TO A KILL YEAR: 1985 SUNG BY: DURAN DURAN COMPOSED BY: JOHN BARRY & DURAN DURAN FILM PLOT OUTLINE: Bond is sent to investigate millionaire Max Zorin who is suspected of selling top-secret microchip information to the Soviets. STARRING: Roger Moore as James Bond Chistopher Walken Grace Jones Tanya Roberts MEMORABLE BECAUSE: Roger Moore’s last film. The end fight scene on top of the Golden Gate bridge. QUOTE “You can never get a cab when you want one” GADGETS Camera ring Polarizing sunglasses Mini copier Snooper – radio controlled spy dog INTERESTING MUSICAL FACTS: Duran Duran and John Barry struggled to get along as Duran Duran themselves were not speaking to each other – they were just about to break up. Despite that, they were able to produce a great song – one of the most popular Bond songs up to that point. In the U.S. it reached number 1 in the charts, the first Bond song to do so. INTERESTING FILM FACTS: In the run up to releasing Bond films, Moore often claimed that it would be his last film, but this time it was! The film was considered one to far for an ageing Moore and it failed to live up to the success of Octopussy. This was Louis Maxwell’s last appearance in the Bond series as Moneypenny. She had been in every film up to this point. Since you are clearly a keen spy, you must be alert for more more information. Here's a clue. |
