She definitely had braces when I watched the film in the early 80's. I wouldn't have noticed or remembered if I had watched it again, before I found out about the disappearing braces, a few weeks ago however. I would have watched as normal, not thinking anything was different, as I'm not expecting anything different. Same as any other film that has this Mandela Effect attached to it.
shareI remember seeing this movie on TV. We had the First Choice super station. I can remember her then having braces. When I watched the movie clip on youtube I found it odd that she had no braces.
Then I heard about this mandela effect. Here is what I think the situation is.
Ether the braces were edited out, or there were two versions of this scene filmed. Where she had braces, and didn't.
So early copies that came to TV had the braces scene.
Superman 2 had a bunch of scenes added in even some alternate scenes for TV back in the 80's. This was a common practice back then. However none of those scenes were ever used again for any vhs, or dvd release.
I'm thinking this must be the same case.
But it's weird that there are no records, anywhere, to prove she had braces.
I saw the film in a theatre when it came out and- when she smiled, showing her BRACES- the whole audience laughed, because they got the joke that Jaws would fall for a girl with metal teeth too.
In no way is this a false memory.
I know I went to the theater to see this, and am MOSTLY sure she had braces exactly for the point you mentioned: their connection and the comedy of that.
My BluRay has no braces.
Nobody wants to admit this publicly, but if there really is some alternate reality junk going on, the script would have been made POST some butterfly effect where braces were never written in, thus, not seen, and no alternate edit exists WITH braces.
STILL, I am 99.999% sure I saw it with BRACES, and it was a fun connection for those two.
And if reality time lines are being altered, and not just a occam's razor mass remember it wrong crap, we'll have no way to ever prove it anyway.
the comedy was this little, innocent looking girl with this big, monsterous villain. the juxtaposition between the two. not a simple metal mouth to metal mouth thing. bond movies were deeper then that superficial comedy.
shareI saw this at the theater in 1979 and she had braces. I have a 1992 VHS of Moonraker and no braces. Mandela Effect.
shareVery odd.
