Product Description:
With DR. NO the first of the James Bond films director Terence Young and leading man Sean Connery set the precedent for what would become one of the most popular influential and long-lasting series ever made. Bond makes his first famous introduction 'Bond James Bond' in an upscale casino to a saucy brunette named Slyvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) who he promptly coaxes into a dinner date. Back at Secret Service Headquarters M (Bernard Lee) assigns Bond to a mission in Jamaica. An agent who was investigating strange activity with nuclear weapons in Cape Canaveral has disappeared and Bond is to take up where he left off. His contact CIA operative Felix Leiter (Jack Lord) reminds Bond that his title '007' means he has license to kill not be killed. This advice comes in handy in Jamaica as assassins relentlessly emerge from the woodwork desperately trying to bring Bond down. Bond makes his way to Crab Key Island to find evil scientist Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) the primary suspect. There he is met with the obstacle of Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) a deadly beauty who emerges from the sea in a tiny bikini with a knife holster slung about her hips in one of the most seductive Bond-girl moments of all time. With a striking lack of gadgets DR. NO is a heartier mystery than subsequent films in the series providing for some excellent adventures in which Bond must rely on his own clever spy skills to get out of sticky situations.System Requirements:Running Time: 122 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 027616066329 Manufacturer No: M106634

Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Name Is Bland . . . James Bland
If you want to pinpoint where the 007 series took a nosedive into unadulterated silliness, look no further than "Live and Let Die" (1973). Roger Moore makes his debut as James Bland in this ridiculous blaxploitation-style thriller with slapstick action sequences. The only redeeming aspect is Paul McCartney and Wings' Oscar-nominated song, which deserved a far better film.
Rating:  - Good movie, horrible tape quality
A good 007 movie, but I could only see it three times. It didn't want to run anymore on my VHS player. It got stuck forever
Rating: - I was young and my heart was an open book...
I used to say live and let live. Then I saw this Roger Moore fiasco. It makes me give in and cry, This movie must die!...They had a job to do and didn't do it well, they put this fellow through hell!
Ok, enough of twisting Paul McCartney's great song to offer up my point of view. I am a recent convert to James Bond movies. I took a chance and watched Casino Royale and I was very impressed with what I saw. Then I picked up Goldfinger, followed by Die Another Day, GoldenEye, On Her Majesty's ... Read More
Rating:  - Shocked at these positive reviews....
Has anyone who loves Live & Let Die ever seen another Bond movie? Where do I start with this extremely weak film? Other than the theme song, a cool voodoo/graveyard sequence and the alligator pond, this is one of the low points in the franchise. Short on action and exotic locals, but packed with ghetto slang, goofy characters and an overall lack of secret agent "coolness". The 1960's were at an end and this movie is just way too early 70's looking (and sounding). Overall it's more dated than Dr No (made ... Read More
Rating:  - Shaken, not stired
What can I say, its James Bond 007!
I am glad they released these separate for us who can not dump a large sum for the whole set at once!
....this review will self destruct in 30 seconds
*oops*
wrong show!
...never mind
