 You're always such a fan of scenes like that. Why? Why isn't he seeing this? Hi. Welcome back, this is Jeroen Bader known as Dutch Bond fan and I'm once again rejoined by my lovely girlfriend Lirit. Hi. We're back for another movie reaction and today we are watching 1973's Living That Die. So, previously we started watching the Bond movies of the 70's and not unlike me you also thought Diamonds of River was the worst Bond film you ever saw. Well, I saw it back when you like edited everything and I gave Diamonds of River less stars. Yeah, you pretty much gave everything one star but Henry or I think something like that. Because I saw myself a lot of like laughing and everything and that's enjoyment and I gave I think enjoyment one star. So you think you might have been too harsh on it a little bit? Yes. So, we can't really change it anymore now I mean it is but if you could, well would you give it higher now maybe in retrospect? I think two and a half. Two and a half star, okay. So, she came back that she enjoyed it a little bit more watching it back and she saw that she laughed a lot more at it. Speaking of laughing at Bond movies, we've now entered the Raji Moore era and you know from the 70's already. He's at home, he's a little bit less serious, it's a bit more cartoony and more wacky. Yes, you asked me the last time. Right. Raji Moore, you don't know anything about him pretty much. No, nothing. He is the James Bond that played in the most official Bond movie, seven Bond movies. So, I hope you're gonna like him because you'll be seeing a lot of him in the next couple of episodes. And we're gonna start with Live and Let Die. So, have you seen Raji Moore on pictures or do you know what he looks like or not even that? Well, I saw the other day a picture of him but I totally forgot. So, you have no clue really. No, I don't have a clue how he's acting or who he is. Nothing. Nothing. Maybe in other movies, maybe if I see him I'm not like oh my god he plays in that movie but I don't think so. Okay, so this is pretty much as blind of a movie reaction as it gets. So, we're gonna be jumping into Live and Let Die soon. As always, if you are interested in seeing the full-length, unedited reaction, you can jump on to my Patreon page and all premium supporters can see the full-length reaction there and watch it synchronized with their copy of the movie. So, without any further ado... I will not eat that much as the last time. People weren't too bothered by it but they were just wondering what she's eating this time. It was cake. Yeah, they were cake. But I sliced it in like little pieces. You can really see she's been watching back an episode this time. She usually never watches it. I've never had reactions back. This is the first time I saw her back. Well anyway, we're gonna be jumping into Live and Let Die. Oh, it's another kind of... it's faster. Very different music, right? It's faster. It's a completely different composer as well. And he was like standing like this. Yeah, George Martin does the music. Only this movie. New York. Unique soundtrack. New York, yes. What is this? They just killed him. Yeah. With a high tone or something. Yeah, like a high-pitched death. Yeah. Where's this? New Orleans? New Orleans, yes. There's someone dead. Is it CIA or something? And they put the casket on him. Just like that movie on the beach. With the icebox. With Zac Efron. Oh, Baywatch. Yeah. It's a weird tradition. Right in New Orleans, they dance on a funeral. It's mostly black people. Yeah, ritual. It's like a foo-doo cult. That's a fake snake. Is it? Look better. It is. I don't know. I think it's real. So three people have been killed. Do you know the song? You sang it all week long. No, just today. No. Yesterday and the day before yesterday. Do you recognize the singer? It's Paul McCartney. The Beatles. Okay. That's him. Baywatch, I'm saying. It's a different end. No, it's the same one. No, it's the same. Good morning, double-edged. Good morning. But now he's coming to his home. Instead of going to the office. He's going to his home. Instead of to his house. That James Bond has to go to his office. That's strange. Yeah. This is one of the only times you see his house. Like in Dr. Now, this movie. And Spectre. But where is she? I think these killings are connected. Hiding. That's a real coffee maker. Look at that. Wow. Is that all it does? Well, the authorities were more than helpful. They are all coming? There's one small complaint. But he has the hair, the same like Connery. A little bit, yeah. He has lighter hair. I want to have that robe as well. He has JB on here. But you have VD. Also. I am JB. VD doesn't come. She's a magnetism man. Pan Am. Yeah. Notice the back of the card. It says 007. It's like an Easter egg. Oh yeah. I love the way he's dressed in there. In this scene. Great suit. That's cool. Yeah. There's something happening with the white car. They're going to shoot. Did I know that? Well, it was pretty predictable when one car pulls up in a one movie. Yes, that's true. You know something's gonna happen. This is the bad guy. That's the guy there monitoring Mr. Kananga. This is the guy who killed. Where is this going? That's the car. Yeah. My friend David Tsaritsky and some of his bond friends recently visited that place in New York. That shop and that underground. And? They made a video about walking in that garage. They're coming out of the elevator. They went inside this thing as well. To stand there. But the shop is closed? It actually does go there. But the shop is still there? No, it's not a food shop anymore. It's just something else now. Hey, man. For 20 bucks, I'll take you to a Ku Klux Klan cookout. The sidebeers. Yeah. Very 70s, right? Harlem. You know Harlem, right? It's like the black community in New York. You got a honky on your tail. You know the... There are spotters everywhere. Yeah. It's the same store as in New Orleans. Yeah, also a filet or so. You're right. He seems particularly white. This was one of the questions I got on the quiz on James Bond radio. What was on the wall? Oh, really? Yeah. I had no idea. I did have cheeseburger correct. But I also had to guess the prices. No, no, no idea. What was turning? Yeah. Miss. My name's Bob. James Bond. Can't be too careful in New York City. Whoa! He's like Captain Hook. Yeah. Now, I promise you'll stay right there. I shan't be long. The chief of the Legion of the Dead. The man who cannot die. Mr. Bond, of course. Mrs. Bond has been expecting you. Mrs. Mrs. Bond? She arrived earlier this afternoon, sir. And a curable romantic, Mrs. Bond. That's weird, right? You're always such a fan of scenes like this. That's the bad guy. That's the hunch man. To spray it. Lights are out. Out, that's the girl. Mrs. Bond, I presume. In the bathroom. But the snake is still lying dead there. My first was Bane's. The agent who was killed. I'm next in line for the same time. It's a hat. With a feather. A bloody feather. Oh, a voodoo. She's one of the most annoying Bond girls, I think. Come on, Rosie. This one seems eager enough. I like her shoes. I didn't see them. The white one. Rosie Carver, meet the man who shares my hairbrush. Quarrel Jr. Remember Quarrel? Like to know. She's lying. She's lying. But I thought you said Bane was killed up in the hills, darling. Up in the hills down there. She's lying. Where was that, a monkey? No, it was a voodoo doll thing. It's kind of part of this movie, the whole voodoo vibe. And I'll kill you if you don't. But you couldn't. You wouldn't. Not at what we just done. I certainly wouldn't have killed you before. But now? She's falling or something. She's dead. She's always wearing like... extravagant clothes. Yeah, it's like part of the mystic powers, I think. He's already flying in the air. With a cigar, like a badass. You know, fun fact. C is the actress that played... You know the Laysby documentary we watched? And Laysby was meeting that agent, that older woman, that was her, Jane Seymour. You know how to take the powers away? She's a virgin. And as soon as she sleeps with someone, she loses the powers. So that's why... So at the end, she will sleep with James Bond. I forgot about that part. He's just turning his jacket around. Yeah. I mean, really believe in the guy. Once again. He looks like Sean Connery. He does? Like, my idea of James Bond. But she can't kiss him, right? Because all her powers will be left. Kissing is, but having sex will... But now she has... Did you see that? Yes. Darling. Sorry, now she has... But now she doesn't has any powers. This is a gift to my mother. His wife to the prince no longer of this world. Bond's face. Yeah, he's thinking with his dick. She's wearing bright orange. Yeah. What do you think of her clothes, though? Now this scene. Now she's like, not extra. It's more normal, right? It's more normal. That's the bus from Harry Potter. Prisoners of Azkaban's opening. It's similar. What are they doing? So strange. He's only like, turning. He's just driving. And then the upper part of the bus is... Going to fall off? They did it for real, as well. It's all over. It's not over. It's the same guy. The guy from New York again. Going to fly. Plain damage. Yeah. Straight ahead. Holy shit. Same time tomorrow, Mrs. Bell? I got a nice move over here just against the wall. Because the first time the wall changed. Yeah. The guy in the bar sees that. Yeah, he's just gone like that. Why were you? I watched my step from now on. Jim, you said that in Dutch. Oh. So you predicted it. I predicted the cuffs. The cuffs, yeah. It was fake. He is Kananga. Yeah. But to me, it's like not that much of a big reveal. It's like I thought he was the same person in the first place. Is this a surprise to you? No, but I knew it was like fake. Fiction. There is one thing, however the... They're always knocked out so easily in normal movies. Stranger than diamonds are forever. Even stranger than diamonds? That smile. It's cringey. This is the heroine. Yeah. In fact, quite a few thousand. I've seen those in Thailand and in Mexico. In the wild? Mexico and the wild. And in Thailand and in the zoo. I was rather counting on that. There are two ways to disable a crocodile, you know. Why is he walking away from him? Always then. I don't suppose you care to share that information with me? He's going to jump on the crocodiles. Real crocodiles as well. They're not fake the ones they jumped on. There's the crocodile. Look at that. Yeah. Going to jump on them. It's impressive, right? It may have been, even though you only saw it briefly, they did it for real and it went wrong a few times. When they did it. Is this the crocodile or the alligator? I think it's a bit of both. They said he's a croc and I think it's... Do you know the difference between alligators and crocodiles? You said the nose or the mouth. Yeah, crocodiles I think have more of a different snout and less teeth or something. Or the other way around. Two billion or what was it? A lot of money. A lot of chasing scenes in this movie. Yeah. The bus and the car and now with the boat. Yeah. They're not much fighting yet. They did it. Yeah, you're right. Oh, this is real. This is real. Okay. I got me, right? The stereotypical racist Louisiana state police cops. Are they going over them? Yeah, right. That's helping. To tap it. They'll go straight through. Yeah. Wooden boats. Yeah. Those people in this movie are so strange. Like too tacky. A bit of a long boat chase. And I think the thing that's missing is music. Music, explosions, everything. It's a pretty... Oh, here's music. It's not that bad actually, but I like these shots from here. They're going to get wet. Wet and wet with a D entity. For explosions. Did he pour gasoline in there? On his face. But how? But there was an explosion like you asked. A strange movie. Colts like these really exist. I really don't have words for this. A little strange. They're going to blow up the heroin fields. It's the same guy though. I'm sorry, I can't take this seriously. Strange, his watch is like magnetic and only that thingy you can get. Everything in a near range. Yes. But everything there is magnetic. Really? Silver. Look at that, everything. Yeah, but a lot of it is heavy. Slowly whispers. There was certainly more metal stuff around. Yes. I wish my watch could do that. But to get out of a situation like this, if I ever am in a situation with this with you, then we can be free. He's going to die. In the water. But believe me, you're not going to predict how he's going to die. He's going to blow up the couch. But why is there no blood? Yeah, that's strange. All his insides? Yeah. It's just air. I feel that's the worst villain death. I always said so in the whole franchise. It's like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the guy goes down to die. Lock the door as well on your way up. The whole arm as well, it's metal. You already said it, right? Yeah, from the crocodile. Disarming. This is a very strange movie. So, he was in the coffin with the snakes and in the end he's like, ha ha ha, fuck all logic in the end. It's really weird to me. But I think it's symbolizing like death is always part of Bond. Sort of. So, that was Live and Let Die. What did you think? It was just as bad. Maybe even worse. It didn't really go up for you at all from here. I hope it will, because otherwise... You'll have a tough time. Yeah. Okay, well, let's just get into it and hopefully we can get some positive stuff out of this. Starting with Roger Moore's debut as James Bond 007. Yes. You've got six more Roger Moore Bond movies to go. So, I hope you liked his take on how he plays Bond. What did you think of Roger Moore and what did you rate him? I gave him three stars. Okay, fair. He didn't fight very much in this movie. It was only chasing. And he was delayed back as the other ones. Yeah. Because Sean Connery and what's his name? George Laysenby. George Laysenby, they were all in the front. They were more physical too. Yes, and in the front, like mainly. And this one was quiet, came and went. Yeah, he's more humorous and stuff. That kind of vibe I got from him. I think you're pretty correct on Roger Moore there. You'll see throughout his movies that this is the style. He goes by a lot. He also, he grows more into the role. You'll see, especially by his third movie, that you truly see like, oh yeah, he's the James Bond of that period. Maybe you've noticed he deliberately did things very differently to Connery. Like he smoked cigars instead of cigarettes. He didn't order a vodka martini shakin' that stirred in this movie, but he took the bourbon with ice. So those were deliberate choices that he made. Oh, I didn't saw that. Okay. So that's because he wanted to be like a different Bond. But the other Bonds do the shakin' that stirred. Yeah. And spoiler, you will see him do that later on. But especially in his first movie, he made an effort to try and be different to Connery. Okay. And you'll see how that plays out in the next movies coming up from Roger Moore. There's six more to go from him, so you'll see a lot more. But he did the hair the same. Kind of, similar to Connery. But I think you said somewhere in the movie that he reminded you of Connery. Yeah. Even though he looks very different. I don't know. He's the same type of guy. He's not blonde. But he does have brown hair. Yes. Do you think Roger Moore is younger or older than Connery? Is this a trick question? I'm just asking, what do you think? I think he's older. He is. He's three years older than Connery. But I feel, at this point at least, he looked a lot younger than Connery, looked in Diamond Star Forever. So he was more youthful looking. At this point you'll see Roger Moore age as well as we get through his movies. Okay. But he looked very young in Living or Die, I feel. Moving on to the Bond Girls of this movie. Yes. I think that will shock everyone. What did you rate them or her if you're just going with Solitaire? Well, there were two. Right. What were their names? Solitaire and Rosie Carver. Yes. I gave them one star. Really? Yeah. That one hurts a little bit more than the one for Tiffany Case. Because Tiffany Case, I can see. But why? Why? Why one star? They were bad. Even Solitaire? Yeah. She's beautiful, but she was bad. And in what way did you think she was bad? Like her acting? Well, I didn't get that. Whoa, she's a Bond Girl kind of factor. Okay. And so in your opinion, they always need to be like strong? No, not strong, but I don't know. It's like a glow from the Bond Girls. And for you, she didn't have that factor maybe? Only that she's beautiful, but that's it. Okay. So more of a window dressing Bond Girl for you maybe in Solitaire. Was there anything you did like about her character? I mean, she was very different to anything you've seen before. With the voodoo and the cards? Yeah. That she predicts the future? Okay, so no, you can't really find anything positive about her at all. What else? No, I'm just asking you. Hey, this is your thing. Okay, so only one star for Solitaire, I'm sorry to say. No, and the other one. And Rosy Carver. I agree with Rosy Carver, who I think, luckily she's not a main Bond Girl, but she's one of the worst female characters in the series. But in the other movies who are coming up are all the Bond Girls, like these two last ones. A bit of a bimbo, you mean, like brainless or what do you mean? Yeah, without brains. Only beautiful. I disagree with Solitaire, I do find her an interesting Bond Girl, but... Interesting, she's thrown cards and what? We don't agree on Solitaire, but... She's beautiful, yes, I know, she's beautiful. Let me tell you, I won't spoil too much about the Man with the Golden Gun, because you might not necessarily like the Bond Girls in there either, but I can spoil to you. There are definitely a lot of strong female characters coming up in the Roger Moore movies as well. They're going to fight. There's definitely fighting involved with Bond Girls, you'll see. Because I see Bond Girls like helping him, fighting with him, plotting with him, using their beautifulness to fight with the bad guys. These last two movies, they didn't. They just laid in bed, the bed closes and that's it. She didn't try to get out of it and fight with Bond with the bad guy. Like I said, you were kind of hoping for more strong female characters. Yes, more with brains. There's definitely Girls like that coming up in future Bond Roger Moore movies, but there's also definitely a bit of the brainless ones coming up too, so you'll see a bit of both in the Roger Moore movies up here. But there's definitely strong ones you're going to like. Because that one with the CIA, what's her name? Rosie Carver. She's just like that and you work for the CIA. Yeah, I agree. Like for the CIA, if you want to get in there, you have to be badass. Yeah, I can't argue with that one. So that's why they got both one star from me. Yeah, I see that. Moving on to the Bond villains of this movie. Yeah. Dr. Kananga, who also turned out to be Mr. Big, but there's also Whisper and Tihi and Baren Samedi, so there's a lot of villains. What did you think of the villains? I gave them also one star. Really? The villains as well? Okay, tell us about your rating for the villains. I have nothing with voodoo. I have nothing with tarot cards, so it was very strange for me to watch this, especially for a Bond movie. Yeah, it's true. I missed the action. I missed the guns. I missed the explosions. It's all in the last scenes. You saw the explosions and the guns. Yeah, I didn't saw any of that. It was for me a very different James Bond movie. And it applies to the villains for you as well. Yes, they all did it with the voodoo and the voodoo dolls and the snakes. Not really up your alley. I think you also saw me throughout the movie like nothing to say. That's a shame. I hoped that maybe you would think, because the past three Bond movies all had Blofeld as a villain. That's true. There's another one who's also bad. Yeah, that's true. And one of them, the arm was gone, got some fun alligator or crocodile, and the other one was whispered because he couldn't talk very loudly. And that was Mr. Big. Who was Kananga? Yeah, was that the prime minister or what? Dr. Kananga was like the president of San Monique, the fictional Caribbean island. And then Mr. Big was like a gangster in Harlem in New York. But that was his alter ego. He was the same person. Two powers to get the hero in distributive and stuff. But okay, another one star. Let's hope we get a little bit more on the locations. We do. How much did you give the locations? Two stars. A lot of North American locations. New York, New Orleans, San Monique and the Caribbean. Any comments on the locations? New York and New Orleans. Great. But San Monique? It's fictional, of course. Yes. But you have a lot of islands there to choose from, and you choose fictional islands? Yeah, I think they didn't want to make it political if they choose Haiti and to make it as if it's about their president. So they had to make it fictional, I think. But yeah, okay. But they were on two different islands? Or how do I have to see that? The last couple of parts were on San Monique, I think, and New Orleans was where a lot of the forests and swamps were. But they were like in Tennessee? No, Louisiana. But New Orleans is in Louisiana. Yes. Okay. It was very... Yeah. But a lot of North American locations. Moving on to the story. Two stars. Another two stars. What did you think of the story? I was open-minded at first, but then throughout the movie I was like, this is taking too long. Sometimes I didn't keep up with the story. And I was like, okay. Yeah, shame. It can happen. I mean, sometimes you really are into a movie. Like I remember you only lived twice with one where you really couldn't start. That one you really enjoyed. Goldfinger as well, surprisingly the second time. But this one a little bit less. It happens. Any more comments on the story or should we move on? Were there people with the white clothes? Were they also on San Monica Island? You mean like the cult? Yes. I think so, yeah. It's like a Fudu cult thing. Stuff like that exists in real life. But obviously you can tell we're not really into that stuff. I'm the same actually. So I'm not really the biggest fan of this movie myself either. But I was expecting my prediction in my head that the one thing you would have the biggest problem with and you turned out to not have a problem with at all was when Bond used the deck of cards to sleep with Solitaire to take her virginity and I was like, that's the part that you really are not going to like. But you didn't mind that bit. Oh, the deck of cards with all the same cards. Yeah, he used it to trick her to have sex with her. To take her virginity? Yeah, but then he asked her where is that guy and she was mumbling words and everything and he was like, oh my God, just tell me. But if you just listened to her, she said to him, like, you got my virginity. So I have no powers anymore, so I cannot tell you. I know, I just figured... So it's his own fault. I just predicted like you would have problems with Bond doing something like that. Was there also her choice, right? That's true. I'm glad I have her. She already did take the cards twice. Yeah, so it was bound to happen, pretty much. You just spat out the process. I thought in the end, but it was sooner. Okay, that brings us to your enjoyment of this movie. What did you give it? One Star. Sadly, Just Like Diamonds, another one star for your enjoyment. I hope you still got something out of the movie. Yes, I think I loved it. Few times that you enjoyed it. But the last scene, I didn't understand with the guy who blew up in the water. That's one of the worst film deaths in the series, I agree. And the boat who exploded in another boat. Yeah. Oh yeah, the big explosion. Yes. Okay, so overall, that brings your score of Live and Let Die to 1.6 and we always round it up, so that's two stars for Live and Let Die bringing it just above Diamonds of Forever. Are you okay with that? Being a little bit above Diamonds? Yes, but I came back for Diamonds. Yeah, so maybe you would switch it around. Maybe we'll get a tie. If we do a new ranking, you might change your mind on that, but... I hope it gets better with what's his name? Roger Moore. Roger Moore. Well, this is not his, I mean, you liked his performance, so at least that doesn't say anything about him. I have big confidence that you may enjoy the memory of going on more, because I do. And I definitely have confidence in the spy who loved me coming after that one, being one of Roger Moore's best films. So, let's hope that it gets some more enjoyment and especially higher ratings in the next couple of Bond movies coming up, starting with The Man with the Golden Gun next time, so we hope you once again enjoyed it regardless and see you guys in the next movie reaction. Bye!
