Live and Let Die
Great song, probably the only theme tune that has truly transcended into pop culture and regular airplay. Opening credits are good.
I like the Blaxploitation feel to it. Its of its time but kudos to having a largely black cast, especially seeing its only Quarrel in Dr No who’s been a significant black character so far. I can’t help thinking that as the main Bond girl, Solitaire should have been Afro-Carribean, perhaps that would have been a step to far in 1973?
Yaphet Kotto, what a brilliant actor, never understand how he was only in a couple of big movies.
Some other great villains as well, Tee Hee and Samedi. Sadly, ruined by the addition of that stupid Sherriff.
Overall its a decent start for Moore. without the 15 mins of crap police chases in Louisiana, it would be a 6.
5/10.
