    Writers Dick Clement and Ian Lafrenais were brought in by Connery to beef up the humour.
    They claimed in an interview that this opener was meant to be BEFORE the titles, just like a proper pts, but because of the films length, the director decided to put that awful theme song over it!

    Lovely shot of Bond approaching Shrublands.
    This bluray is excellent!

    "If you could fill this beaker for me?"
    Bond, "From here?"
    An old 'Porridge' joke!

    Barbara looks great in that nurses uniform, in fact she has fantastic costumes all through this

    The legendary Pat Roach!
    This fight though isn't as tight and exciting as it should be!

    I remember when I saw this first at Christmas 1983, an audience member shouted out, "Come on, Bond!"

    Michel Legrands music is pretty terrible. Original choice James Horner would have been better!

    Yeah......the Orion logo is odd. The cinematic release, I believe opened with this Warners' logo............




    The old VHS copies had that logo as well.

    Haha! That's a great moment. Connery's reaction is priceless.
