The biggest mistake I have ever made is buying 6 Bond films on Blu-ray. Live and Let Die might have the best Bond song, but is also has the worst Bond (Roger Moore - man boobs and all). Part of this movie involves Bond tricking a girl into losing her V-Card to him. Not only that, this girl loses her psychic abilities once she is no longer "pure". Bond has never been so selfish or so prickish. This movie is set in 1970s Harlem and the word "honkey" is thrown around like it's going out of style. There are a few bright spots though. This movie introduced Jane Seymour to the world. Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman looked damn good as a 20-something. The Live and Let Die intro song by Wings is awesome and worthy of a much better movie. There is a high-speed chase involving a double-decker bus. Anyway, if you are a big fan of 007 movies, you need to re-evaluate your opinion. This movie was a chore.
Closing Thoughts: I can't be sure, but I think Bond called someone a "blackie" in this movie. Fucked up.
