Description

Roger Moore plays a bearded, eccentric Scottish millionaire and renowned Mr Fix-It who the British government reluctantly deploys along with his specialist outfit to re-capture two oil rigs being held by mercenaries (principally Tony Perkins as the group's leader, and the coke-bottle bespectacled Michael Parks as the ubiquitous "computer geek" if you're familiar with the stereotype from these type of movies). The film's had so many title changes I've lost count," said Moore. "But everyone seems to like the character I play."

With his original plan thus upset, ffolkes persuades the Prime Minister to have the ransom helicopter drop off a bomb on Esther in case his team fails to take out Kramer's gang in time. Then he approaches the ship from underwater, and despite some mishaps he manages to thwart the activation of the detonators, leaving Kramer for dead, and prevent the bomb drop on Esther. Kramer, mortally wounded, makes one last attempt to blow up Jennifer, but is stopped by ffolkes and dies. Following the successful conclusion of the mission, ffolkes is rewarded for his service with three kittens named after Esther, Ruth and Jennifer. First off, this is not a great film and makes no pretension to be one. It is however quite enjoyable on its level, which is that of a fairly straightforward and formulaic thriller with some dashes of humour. Roger Moore gives a pleasing performance as the woman hating, arrogant and irascible Ffolkes, who is the complete antithesis of his version of Bond. Much of the gentle humour of the film arises from his constant put downs to all around him. Anthony Perkins is the head of the gang, and plays him with typical cold blooded menace. Also James Mason turns in a nice portrayal of an exasperated Admiral. The plot is a little complicated, but not hard to follow. The characters are simplicity itself. There are the good people and then there are the bad people. Of course the real world isn't so structured but it's nice to relax once in a while and allow our heads a playful descent into the vulgate. Why not? Freud called it regression in the service of the ego. The plot of an action movie usually provides a good example, as this one does. In the title role Moore is anything but his typical ladies man. The product of a messy divorce, Rufus Excaliber Ffolkes resents women. He considers them inferior at best and a blight on society at worst. He now prefers the company of cats.Throughout his career critics have placed Roger Moore in a catagory with such alleged actors as George Hamilton and Pamela Anderson. Individuals whose celebrity status has been maintain by good looks rather than talent.

On one side you have ffolkes, a cantankerous man with a severe disdain of women and an unhealthy obsession with cats. His personality verges on what we would now term as autistic spectrum, basically he is correct and everyone else is not. He doesn’t suffer fools gladly. His dialogue is always short and when he isn’t berating women, he is correcting anyone else who is talking to him. Moore as ffolkes delivers a far less suave action hero than his Bond persona which is a good change. Cast James Bond (Roger Moore) wears a Seiko 7549-7009 'Golden Tuna' 600m Professional Quartz Diver (model S60583) in the movie For Your Eyes Only (1981).

SPECTRE

Below we'll look at two newer, cheaper options, that don't have the high tec specs of the 600m and 1000m Gold Tuna's, but are great looking watches from the same company, sometimes referred to as the Baby Tuna. Moore is none too thrilled to find out that one of the people he must work with closely is a woman, Lea Brodie, and even when he's complimenting her, he's insulting her for her gender. But he can't help but see her for the brave soul she is, so they create a bond of sorts, and he begins to see her as a good buddy if not completely get over his sexism. Sprengkommando Atlantik: Ein Nägelbeißer mit Roger Moore, der Frauen hasst" . Retrieved 3 May 2018. ( ger) Even though you might not have noticed the watch before, it is actually seen quite frequently during the long scene, because Bond wears it on the outside of his yellow diving suit. Unfortunately the watch doesn't get a good close-up shot in the movie. When Bond and Melina are captured by Aristotle Kristatos (Julian Glover) and his henchmen, the watch is probably discarded and never seen again. The picture quality is simply excellent, I have no complaints. It’s a nice sharp and clean print whilst the colours look as you would expect.

You can also look for the 2016 model, the Seiko Prospex SBDN028 LOWERCASE Limited Edition. This model is similar to the SNE498, also solar powered but with the V147 instead of V157. It's a Limited Edition and has a few different design details, compare images on the left. Films includes a fabulous set of extras with interviews with actors and stuntmen, all of which are interesting. Note the differences on the dial: the SBDN028 has gold hands, gold logos, gold minute markers and Submariner style hour markers. The bezel is also different, note the shape of the top triangle and the shape of the bezel edge.

It is decided that his team will go in and defeat the terrorists. Moore is curmudgeonly but in a cute way. His no-nonsense egotism and prejudices make you smile instead of wince. Moore drinks scotch neat four hours after breakfast, sometimes out of the bottle. If his men are slow, he threatens to "have your b***s for breakfast." He does petit point or whatever it is. He loves cats and dislikes women in no uncertain terms. His analyses are wind swift. Mason's admiral grumbles, "I'll bet you're the type who does the Times crossword in ten minutes." Moore is offended -- "I never take TEN minutes." Nota bene: The London Times crossword puzzle is designed by sadistic geniuses for consumption by big league masochists. It must be the toughest in the English language. Example: "A major seaport in the middle of Czechoslovakia." Answer: "Oslo." The movie ends, as it began, with ffolkes clearly happy with his favorite companions. We had earlier met Mary, his tortoiseshell tabby. We leave ffolkes with an award from the British government, delivered to him in Scotland by the Prime Minister herself...three white kittens named Esther, Ruth and Jennifer.

Admiral Brinsden provides the stoic stiff upper lip of the proceedings defaulting to ffolkes instructions with little protest.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.
