A violent Bond film with an aggressive, strong n sexually pulchritudinous Bond girl.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.

Revisited it recently.

This is the fourteenth in the Bond series and the final appearance of Roger Moore as James Bond.

In this movie Bond has to deal with a villain Zorin, who is planning to blow up Silicon Valley. (I think he is fed up with the geeks n nerds).

Apart from Zorin none of the henchmen are noteworthy.

This one's a bit violent

The main villain Zorin, a sadistic psychopath (played smoothly by Christopher Walken) displays a near-total lack of loyalty to his own men n shoots hundreds of people with machine guns n that too with a smile.

A man gets minced in an underwater exhaust fan.

In this movie Bond does an amazing horse hurdle race.

It has a lovely pre credit scene of that of a breathtaking ski chase.

It has a spectacular chase up and down the Eiffel Tower which must have inspired the parkour chase sequence in Casino Royale.

The climactic fight scene on Golden Gate Bridge is very well done.

This movie is Dolph Lundgren's first on-screen role, playing General Gogol's KGB bodyguard Venz but without any dialogues.

He is present before the iconic dialogue, "No one ever leaves the KGB".

In this movie Bond gets to cool off with Mary Stavin, Fiona Fullerton, Tanya Roberts n Grace Jones (A true Amazonian female n better than the fake Gal Gadot. Grace Jones was the first sexually aggressive Bond girl, evidenced by her reversal of positions - she climbed on top).

Many fellas say that Muad Adams is present in the movie as an extra n uncredited of that of a passerby. I tried but didn't notice her.

Some info on Zorin: Max Zorin is a sharp businessman, operating on the microchip market. He is highly intelligent n acts very fast cos he is the product of a Nazi medical experimentation during World War II, in which pregnant women were injected with massive quantities of steroids in an attempt to create "super-children." Most of the pregnancies failed while the few surviving babies grew to become extraordinarily intelligent-but also psychopathic.

After the war, Hans Glaub aka Carl Mortner, the German scientist who conducted the experiments, raised a young Zorin. Zorin was later trained by KGB agents.

A MicroChip off the Old Block

For his last outing as 007, Roger Moore gets to save Silicon Valley in California as mad French industrialist Christopher Walken seeks to corner the market on nuke proof microchips. It's funny how it's inevitably British Intelligence that seems always to be saving American bacon.

Truth be told my favorite James Bond was getting a little too old to be playing in these action adventure films. Moore was 58 and looking like someone in his Fifties doing all these action stunts.

Tanya Roberts joins the exclusive club of women who've been Bondified by some 007. She's the owner of some mining properties which Walken ruthlessly acquires for his nefarious schemes. Also in this cast is Grace Jones who functions oddly enough like Richard Kiel as Jaws in two earlier Bond films. She's certainly as deadly as Kiel and she also finds out as Kiel did just how expendable she ultimately is.

Walter Gotell as Russian spymaster General Gogol returns as well in this Bond film. Gotell always provides a note of levity in the Bond films, but never more so when he tells Robert Brown as M as to why he's happy that Walken gets foiled in his plot which we all know James Bond will do in the end.

So as Roger Moore rode off in his Astin-Martin car into the sunset we can thank 007 and the rest of the gang at British Intelligence that San Jose, California is not now an underwater city. A View To Kill gets a bit silly at times, but fans of the James Bond series should be happy enough with it.

I can't believe I actually saw this stinker in the theater!

Okay, as I say above I can't believe I actually saw this in the theaters, but at least I didn't PAY to see it! This movie managed to be WORSE than Roger Moore's other terrible James Bond film, MOONRAKER and that is no small accomplishment! And why is it so bad? Well, there are many reasons--acting, script and casting decisions that were just hair-brained to say the least.

First, Roger Moore just looks so old and tired in this film. It's actually embarrassing to have him play the young Lothario as he sleeps with women who are young enough to be his daughter,...or maybe even granddaughter! And, it's really hard to believe that he was able to beat up much of anyone in the film as well--except perhaps when he was able to physically able to overpower a 100-pound Grace Jones. It seems that due to his age, this film makes his opponents less demanding! Second, Grace Jones, Tanya Roberts and Christopher Walken are probably three of the top five worst James Bond supporting actors. Grace Jones seems to think she is acting in CONAN THE DESTROYER and her acting range is ultra-limited to say the least. Tanya Roberts is incredibly sexy,...until she opens her mouth. She doesn't so much SPEAK her dialog but SQUEAKS it! And, she just sounds rather addle-brained. So, it seems that apart from nooky, she has little to offer Bond. And as for Christopher Walken, he plays much the same character he plays in many other films--a nutty guy who seems too loony to be much of a threat.

Third, the film is dull and that's the biggest problem overall.

If you want to watch another Bond film that MIGHT be worse, try watching Sean Connery's NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. Both these films prove that just because you may have been an excellent Bond, there is definitely a time to say enough is enough and retire from the role.
