There is a moment in "Live and Let Die" that sets the tone for the whole escape of Roger Moore as Jamesesheims Bond. Left for the dead on an island in the middle of a pond full of hungry crocodilesMoore 007 avoids his escape by using three deadly reptiles like stepping stones to safety, barely moisturizing his legs in the process. There is still a lot of where he comes from, including the car jump with barrels in "The Golden Gun Man", Blofeld was thrown out of smoke into "Only Your Eyes", and the scene of snowboarding set the boys on the beach in "View of Kill". But maybe no movie in Moore's mandate is just as stupidity as "Moon".

After the success of the "spy who loved me", Moore's next adventure was supposed to be "only for your eyes". (There is even "Jamesesheims Bond will return ..." The attacker in the former film's final loans.) But then "War of Starwells: Episode IV - New Hope" hit theaters and suddenly every big studio was trying to earn to succeed in the success of the wildly popular Ecumenical Opera. Producer Albert "Kobe" Broccoli has decided that Eon Production should also follow it to keep up with the competition and turn to Bond's highest novel that sounds to Ian Fleming, "Munraker" for inspiration.

This time, Bond was taking place outside the planet to prevent the evil schemes of Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), an industrialist who aims to delete all of the Earth from his space station and establish a master race. Since it was not funny enough, Jaws (Richard Kiel) also returned from the previous movie and got a girlfriend, and had a lot of moments of Jockey as a dove with a double -taking in Venice Gondola Chase. The audience ate it, however, and "Munkeke" became the highest film about Bond Bond to Goldenje in 1995.

Despite its success, the "moon" is considered One of Bond's worst movies (And it is almost certainly the stupidest). However, it may have been very different if Helming was on the road. Before dying in 1964, the author wrote a film treatment based on his original novel. It was considered to be lost almost 50 years before appearing in 2015 and was auctioned by a private bidder. The details are scarce, but it is safe to say that it was closer to the tone with the novel "Moonraker" from the 1979 film adaptation. Here's what we know.

"Munraker" was the third novel by Ian Fleming's Jamesesheims Bond Despite the title, it is a very story tied to the country. Fully in the UK, the Jameseshes Bond has been appointed to investigate Sir Hugo Drax, a respected industrialist and former British military hero. Drax uses the Nazi V2 rocket technology to develop the Moonraker program, which is designed to protect the country from incoming attacks. In the end, Bond reveals that Drax is actually a former Nazi scientist working on the Soviet Union and plans to arm his rocket with a nuclear warhead to destroy London.

Posted in 1955, Munkerker found himself in painful memories of B1 missile attacks on the English capital during World War II and the growing fears of nuclear destruction such as escalating Cold War tensions. These worries were very real to the public, as the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 10 years earlier was still fresh in the mind of many people. The novel was admitted as a surprisingly unusual meditation for the fall of the British Empire, as well as what the nation stood to lose if a catastrophic conflict broke out so quickly after the last one. The development of Fleming's character for Bond's character was recognized, while Drax was also praised that he was one of Bond's most likely villains (the one with the equivalent of the real world that posed a real threat). However, some fans were not so thrilled and were disappointed with the lack of exotic locations that provided an escape to British readers who rarely saw destinations off their shores in real life.

Although some believe that the "moon" is a masterpiece of Fleming, Broccoli cubes were not so thrilled. Even after Eon Production used it delayed to earn the phenomenon of "Starwells War", he dismissed the book's plot as "a bit of a rocket that went to destroy London". It is clear that the volume should have been larger for an international blockbuster. Christopher Wood's script only took the title and basic elements of Fleming's story before expanding it to cover the space stations and the global genocide in the hands of Drax, which became a standard Bond villain with world dominance designs.

Ian Fleming wrote from experience when he created the Jameseshes Bond, extracting his first -hand knowledge of British intelligence during World War II. He considered the spy work of "Dirty Trade" and his most famous character was an appropriate nasty, cold heart killer whose finer things for life served as a balm in a profession where he could meet an ugly end at any moment. In short, Fleming 007 can hardly be different from Roger Moore's light.

Fleming imagined Munkerker as a novel that would eventually find his way to theaters and wrote his movie treatment on 150 pages a year after the book was published. With Dr. NO, the first adaptation of a big screen for six more years, details show that it is a far more low-key affair than even the relatively earthy adventures of John Connery. It was Fleming's only attempt in script and Jonon Gilbert, a Fleming expert, said it was quite difficult for prose and "much more serious" than the 1979 film.

The big differences from the franchise we know and the Loveube includes the absence of M and Miss Monepine. The Bond commander is portrayed as an ingenious civil servant, probably more like the heads of the secret service that Fleming knew during his time with maritime intelligence. The jaws are nowhere to be seen: Richard Kiel's unforgettable digger He appeared as an equivalent villain called Sol "Horror" Horowitz in Fleming's later novel, "The Spy Who Loved Me." Another involvement in Fleming's script was a new new character called Tosh, a special agent that works as a sharp card for cocktail.

A detail detail you would appreciate by Fan Bond is the choice of 007 for swimming clothes. Like John Connery and Daniel Craig, Fleming's relationship brings light blue shorts as he dipped the Kent coast. With the discovery of Fleming's script and the constant rumors of what direction she can take the franchise for Bond in the future, she begs for an intriguing question: Can one day one day restart the "moon" closer to how her author originally imagined?
