watching all the Bond blu rays and this is my new favorite Bond movie. i said that about 'on her majesty's secret service', then 'the spy who loved me' and now this.

the pre credits sequence almost made me faint lol. i hate heights, vertigo i guess and when Bond was pushed out of the plane without a parachute i almost fainted. how could he survive? and jaws after him to. amazing.

same with cable car scene. jaws was bloody scary to. one of my favorite scenes ever. jaws once again showed why he's the best Bond villain.

the movie looked stunning on blu ray. the space scenes were beautiful. actually all locations were.

i can see why it did so well at the box office. moore is great as Bond and i loved it.

Yes, one of the the best Bond's pre credits sequence ever

Yes, I remember seeing the bit where he gets pushed out the plane in the trailer and thinking: "Whoa, I got to see this!"

And, up to the point where the movie goes off into space, it was actually pretty good. But once we get into space, it rapidly went downhill for me. When we hear Jaws suddenly speak and it's that cringy line to his really, REALLY young looking gf as he busts out the champagne, I just rolled my eyes and groaned.

I'd probably go with You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, or Live and Let Die as the quintessential Bond credit sequence.

It is an amazing sequence. The double for Moore never appears obvious, although the same can’t be said for JAWS. Still, it’s an amazing piece of cinema and a great start to a good movie.
