The name of Hugo Drax's escorts seen at his chalet were Lady Victoria Devon and Countess Labinsky, and at the forest, were Signorina del Mateo and Mademoiselle Deradier.

Errores:

Continuidad: Moments before Dr. Goodhead jumped with Bond out of the cable car structure in Pão de Açúcar she is wearing high heel, opened toe shoes. When she jumps and reaches the ground her shoes are flat and closed toe. It is visible that the scene is performed by a stunt using a wig.

Fly me to the moon, Mr. Bond.

Review summary: Way better than what critics make of it. The special effects are terrific and the wit is sharper than ever.

Why does some viewers think this entry in the series is by far, the weakest of Bond. But I didn't think so, I actually think this is one of the best Bonds. I actually find it more entertaining than Roger Moore's early entries "Live and Let Die" and "The Man with the Golden Gun". I love the effects, acting, set decorations and all that. Richard Kiel still keeps the momentum and greatness of his role as Jaws, a role he made famous in "The Spy Who Loved Me".

The plot involves the theft of the Moonraker space shuttles. 007 is sent to Drax Industries, the manufacturers or these shuttles. He soon discovers that the owner, Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) uses this rockets to fulfill his dastardly plans to create another civilization in space.

One of the main reasons that critics mistreat this Bond entry because it doesn't go with the trend of the other Bonds. MOONRAKER tries to be more faithful to the then-popular trend of science fiction movies (after the enduring success of such classic as STAR WARS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS). But as long as the sharp wit, the panache and style made famous by many other Bond films are existent, there's no real harm in trying something else to go along with it.

Rating: ***1/2 out of 5.
