I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.
Revisited it recently.
Inspite of being on a Bond marathon, its more than a month gap between this n the last one.
This is the twelfth in the Bond series and the fifth to star Roger Moore as James Bond.
Apart from the climatic rock climbing scene, few amazing gliding onces, some amazing photography n location (the mountain top monastery is top notch), this one is a bit boring.
Once again there is no threatening henchman or any super cool villain in this part.
This time Bond is ordered by the Minister of Defence and MI6 Chief of Staff to retrieve the Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator before the Soviets.
This time Bond faces Belgian underworld enforcer Emile Leopold Locque (who never utters a single word in the entire movie), a biathlete KGB agent Eric Kriegler (who doesn't smoke, only eats health foods, and won't even talk to girls), a cunning Kristatos n few sharks along with lots of snow bikers n ice hockey players.
This time Bond gets to cool off with Carole Bouquet n Cassandra Harris.
As a gentleman, Bond avoids the teen Lynn-Holly Johnson.
(She was the first and only Bond girl that the 007 agent rejected cos of age).
