    Blofeld hasn't upgraded his guards then.

    For all the stick that Roger Moore gets, I'm surprised at how many 'Rooger Moore moments' there are in this film. Even one in the last one with the stock car race.

    Charles Gray is brilliant.

    Enjoyed that one. Always thought that one was meant to be a bad one. Must say that Tiffany is the most disappointing Bond girl so far. She seems like she's going to be pretty formidable at the beginning but ends up acting like she's got brain damage by the end.
