He could of figured it out on the way up. HIS JAWS!! HE CAN'T DIE!!! AND DOLLY HAD THE KISS OF JAWS SO SHE CAN'T DIE!!! seriously any one got a better one...
Drax Didn't tell them
Now for @DaltonCraig with his original explanations
Good question. I just think he was running away from the deadly fuss. Must be one of those 'I don't care where I end up as long as it's far away from here' moments. Maybe he was planning to hide there and return to safer grounds when everything had calmed down.
How did Bond knew Drax's Moonraker 5 had a laser on it?
How did he know? Maybe Holly, who is in the position to know, told him off-screen. Maybe he observed it somehow. No doubt such a little bit of information can get to him during moments when we're occupied with other stuff.
When Jaws and his girlfriend were in that piece of the space station that broke apart and headed back to earth, shouldn't it had disintegrated when it reached Earth's atmosphere?
No. When the angle is right, you can safely return. There might have been a security program installed, which automatically directs this part back to Earth for a 'safe' landing in the ocean, in case something goes wrong. Remember, even smaller rocks from space sometimes land on our planet without being burnt up completely. But you're right, the chances are very small.
Even before that, shouldn't they both be dead from lack of oxygen and life support in there?
No. You see, there are several options here. 1) They can find themselves a suit and wear it during the short trip. 2) This central portion of the station seemed quite protected by very thick doors. The O² support might have easily still been 'switched' on so they would not have been without oxygen during the trip.
Also, Drax's ground crews that didn't get to go on the 6 shuttles, they were just left behind to die? Talk about job security!
Easy. Why would Drax care? He's about to kill nearly all of mankind. Those people down on Earth, there's no telling what they had been told. It's not like everyone involved knew exactly what Drax was up to.
But we're trying to find logic and a sense of reality in a film that hardly values that. And that's no complaint by the way.
"Moonraker 5. That's the Answer. Drax's shuttle is armed with a Laser."
one final question: why was this an Anglo-French production. Did EON run out of money at the time to make a Bond film?
Thanks!
I have the entire Bond collection on DVD but I hardly watch the special features.
P.S.:
I've never seen an episode of Dallas.
I didn't even know til now that Lois Chiles was on Dallas in 1982.
She was quite a dish!!
;;) :-j
But like I said, MR is not the type of film that seeks 100% credibility, despite Cubby referring to it as science fact, instead of science fiction.
If you can explain why we can hear those explosions in space In a credible way I might send you a bottle of Bollinger (and a nobel-prize!)
The fact that you didn't get bogged down with these questions whilst you watched the film the first time, shows that the film worked as entertainment to me. You didn't care untill subsequent viewings. Something I quite enjoy doing when watching a Bond film now.
You know, like how did Blofeld construct that hollowed out volcano without anyone knowing?
And who was Drax on the phone to when he was seeking a replacement for Chang?
And why was he called Chang when everyone called him Char?
And where the hell was I ?
I used to think i was going mad as i KNEW they were saying Char in the film :
"Convalessing,your friend Char just tried to kill me ".
Then I proceed by explaining sound waves can't exist in the absence of matter. ;;)
Physics can be fun. :)
