Heard the news and raised an eyebrow.

His funeral will be an elaborate plan to ride some bad guys girlfriend, then his coffin will turn into a small plane and he'll escape riding someone else girlfriend. You mark my words.

Captain Obvious · 23-05-2017 02:29PM

89. He had a good run of it.

My first introduction to Bond and I preferred him to Connery to be honest. RIP

Winterlong · 23-05-2017 02:32PM

He was in the seat in front of me on a flight to Nice last november. He was very polite and nice to the staff and to the few that asked for his autograph. He needed help walking though and had a wheelchair inside the terminal building.

Octopussy was a great Bond movie IMO, his best Bond moment.

He lived to a great age at least. Loved his Bond movies

mzungu · 23-05-2017 02:36PM

I loved the Roger Moore Bond movies. Mostly better than the others, Connery included.

RIP.

This news has left me shaken...........not stirred

Hector Savage · 23-05-2017 02:44PM

Very sad news , he was the best Bond ... and should have still been playing Bond until the latest movies.

No one rocked a flared safari suit like that man could. Lovely guy by all accounts and very funny.

Outlaw Pete · 23-05-2017 02:52PM

View To A Kill always been favourite Bond movie and so he was always my favorite Bond as a result.

One of my fondest memories at the cinema, ever, was watching VTAK... the following scene in particular.

RIP.

His autobiography was excellent. He lived a wonderful life.

Love the story about Rex Harrison. One night he and Stanley Holloway were having dinner, when a fan approached and told Harrison he was a big fan. To which Harrison replied "Oh, **** off". As they left, the same man was outside and offered Harrison an apology for interrupting his meal. "**** Off!!!". The fan throws Harrison a punch sending him flailing back into Holloways arms.

Moore then wrote, "It was the only time he'd ever seen the fan hit the sh!t!"

RIP 007

Goodbye, Mr. Bond.

RIP Roger, one of my favorite Bonds.

Love the story about how he, David Niven and Rex Harrison were out for dinner and drinks one evening.
Niven took a disliking to Harrison, a bit of a hell raiser. As an aside to Moore, Niven whispered, "....bit of a c?nt isn't he?"

They both got great satisfaction later that evening, when someone approach Harrison for an autograph, to which he told him to f off. The autograph hunter then threw a punch at Harrison knocking him to the ground, a scuffle ensued to both their amusement.

Moore then wrote, "It was the only time I've ever seen the fan hit the ****!"

RIP 007

Really need to get his "Making of Live and Let Die". Some of the excerpts are absolutely classic.....

Probably off topic, but it is the best Bond song by a country mile. Wouldn't be a fan of Duran Duran in general, but they really nailed it with that theme tune.

Christopher Walken, Grace Jones and Duran Duran. What more could anyone want???

Rodge was 57 in that. Legend.

Outlaw Pete · 23-05-2017 03:29PM

Another classic scene... from Live and Let Die.

Wow, well done and remembering the day... all I remember is it was a Saturday and we went to Appolo 1 on Moore St beforehand and bought calculator watches (amazing devices) and also some of that spray string stuff in the Joke Shop on O'Connell St (where Toddy's is now). Also remember we had to queue on the street and the old lad from the cinema told us we wouldn't get in if we didn't quit messing about (we were spraying each other with that string).. afterwards we went to King Burger... good times.

One of his last interviews:
