Jamil 2022-03-16 09:01:04

This "Thunder Killing" is Roger Moore's last swan song in the "007" series. The reason for his initiation is actually very realistic. At the time of this filming, he was nearly sixty years old, almost better than Tan who played the Bang girl. Ja Roberts was twice as old. Uncle Roger also knows himself, how embarrassed he is to flirt with those beautiful girls, instead of making the girls who are acting in the opposite role find the feeling, it is better to let the virtuous to give younger offspring.

But even so, Bond, who is almost 60 years old, still has a lot of action scenes in the play. It is horse racing, fire truck climbing, and even the Golden Gate Bridge. These are elements that have not appeared in the previous 007 movies. Of course, the villain’s big airship is also a highlight. There are endless vehicles in the "007" series, but the airship is the first time it has appeared. The 1970s and 1980s was another period of development for airships. Due to the use of helium instead of flammable hydrogen as the floating gas, the safety of airships has been greatly improved, and it has received renewed attention in the military and civilian fields. The appearance in Murder is also a reflection of advancing with the times.

Speaking of villains, I have to mention Christopher Walken in this film. The actor who won the Oscar for best supporting role with Nick in "Deer Hunter" is not only the biggest 007 villain so far, but also one of the few. Many villains who are more handsome and handsome than Bond. At that time, Walken was in a career trough, but unexpectedly this time acting as the villain turned out to be an opportunity for his rebirth. Under his interpretation, the second-generation Zuolin, the product of genetic technology, is both noble and elegant, but also cruel, and his insidious temperament is fully revealed. Had it not been for May Day, the black lady under her, her overbearing plan to flood Silicon Valley would have almost succeeded.

In addition, the two Bond girls in this episode, one black and one white, have their own characteristics, which left a deep impression on people. Tanya Roberts, who plays the white girl, looks soft and retro, and has a first-rate figure, especially her intoxicating blue-green eyes like jewels. And Grace Jones, who plays the black girl May Day, is even more unique. She has a neutral look and a slashed face and figure. It is said that he was not welcomed in the United States, and he went to Paris to develop. Instead, he became the darling of the fashion industry and even sought after by homosexuals. In addition to this episode of 007, she has also appeared in Schwarzenegger's business card "Conan the Destroyer", and she is not defeated by the governor.

    The villain is not only noble and elegant, cruel, and even more handsome and suave than Bond. The idea of ​​controlling the future world by controlling the future high-tech (semiconductor) industry is even more reliable, even if the direct means is to explode the grounded work of the rival's industrial base. It is also equipped with a stylish airship. Roger Moore, who was in his sixties, still had a lot of action scenes before he retired, but he was still robbed of the limelight by the anti-Walken and the chic black girl Grace Jones.
