At the beginning of the film, this episode has the meaning of paying tribute to the future. Audiences with a good memory will definitely remember the only marriage experience Bond ever had in the sixth "Queen's Secret Envoy", but it is a pity that his wife Tracy was killed by the villain just after the wedding, and Bond was also retired. Shanlin's plan fell through and continued his desperate career as a "Playboy". At the beginning of the film, James first brought a bunch of flowers to the grave of his deceased wife to pay homage, and then sent the boss of the Devil Party to the west to comfort his wife’s spirit in heaven.

Not only that, the place to pay tribute to "The Queen's Secret Envoy" is also the scene in the ski resort. The chase in the snow and the big avalanche of that year were very impressive, and this work is not too much, perfectly showing the thrills of various snow sports. In addition, the underwater adventures in the middle part are reminiscent of the bridges in the fourth "Rolling Thunder", but the pomp and the level of danger are not as great as before. After the baptism on snow and underwater, Bond finally experienced the thrill of alpine rock climbing. There are not many gimmicks in this episode. It focuses on the adventure plot, and the content is compact and exciting. It is also Roger Moore's best performance.

The three Bond girls in this episode also have their own characteristics. Carlo Pogui, who played the most roles, was once considered the most beautiful actress in the French film industry, with a noble and glamorous temperament, which is similar to Diana Rieger in "The Queen's Envoy"; Lynn-Hawley Johnson Played an innocent and innocent nympho cute girl who was so enthusiastic that even Bond, who read countless girls, couldn’t stand it. It was an anomaly. The least role was Cassandra Harris, who played the Countess. Her husband is Pierce Brosnan, the future Bond actor. Unfortunately, she died of cancer in 1991 at the age of forty. Speaking of actors, I will finally mention Charles Dans, the old drama bone famous for the domineering and scheming Tywin Lannister in "A Song of Ice and Fire", but in this 007 is just A soy sauce killer without dialogue.

    “Pick-up girls are part-time jobs, but it’s unacceptable if you don’t do your job well. His athletic talent is pretty good. He is good at ice and snow sports, water sports and extreme sports, but he’s not good at being a spy. He was arrested when he showed up for the first time. I stayed, and went to other people’s lair to spy on the beautiful women swimming. As a result, there were a few people behind the ass but they didn’t notice it. It is estimated that the fastest record of being captured by 007 was created."

    The first 007 movie after John Grant took over is obviously quite different from the sci-fi style of the previous two underwater cities and space cities, returning to the plot of treasure hunting and revenge on the earth, winding mountain roads, skiing, seabed, rock climbing, various scenes The action scenes are overwhelmed, the rhythm is tight, and the climaxes are repeated. Even from today's perspective, they are all highly watchable scenes. The Bond girls in this episode are quite beautiful, and they have a different style from the previous ones.
