  • The trouble with Last Crusade is that they turned Marcus (Denholm Elliot) into a complete buffoon for cheap laughs. In Raiders he's a well repected intelligent colleague of Indy who in a line of dialogue suggests he was once like Indy himself in …

  • Bond kicking the car as it slides off the cliff is Moore's best moment as 007 in my opinion. He plays the whole scene in fact really mean! Bond was simply venting his anger at the needless killing of the Countess.
