"I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "I thought you'd never get back." "There was a heck of a crowd on the piste." "So I see." " Mission accomplished?" " Best beluga." "Vodka - rather shaken - and one microchip." "Good." "I'll make a signal to M." "Be a good girl, would you, and put her on automatic." "And we could do with a couple of glasses." "They're in the overhead rack." "Commander Bond...!" "Call me James." "It's five days to Alaska." " Thank goodness you're here, James." " That's very nice, Moneypenny." "A little over the top for the office?" "I've been trying to reach you all morning." "What have you been up to?" "Rest and recreation, my darling." "The trip back from Siberia took a lot out of me." "Your dedication when you're on the job is most commendable, James." "Omit the customary pleasantries, Miss Moneypenny." "We're pressed for time." "I'll fill you in later, Moneypenny." " Minister." " Commander." "Good morning, sir." "A new pet, Q?" "If, 007, you'd ever bothered to read any memos sent from my department, you would realise this is a prototype of a sophisticated surveillance machine." "Now we're all here you can get on with the briefing, Q." "Very good, sir." "Gentlemen..." "A silicon integrated circuit:" "The essential part of all modern computers." "No lecture, Q. We're all aware of the microchip." "Until recently, all microchips were susceptible to damage from the intense magnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion." " Magnetic pulse?" " Yes, Minister." "One burst in outer space over the UK and everything with a microchip in it, from the modern toaster to sophisticated computers and our defence systems, would be rendered useless." "We'd be paralysed - at the Russians' mercy." "That is why a private defence contractor came up with this:" "A chip totally impervious to magnetic pulse damage." "Now - if I place it on the micro-comparator and compare it with the chip Bond recovered from the body of 003 in Siberia..." " When I bring the two images together..." " They're identical." "The KGB must have a pipeline into that research company." "It would appear so." "Six months ago that company was acquired by an Anglo-French combine:" "Zorin Industries." "There has been a security check of the plant?" "A very extensive one." "But we have no leads." "What about Zorin himself?" "Max Zorin?" "Impossible." "He's a leading French industrialist." "A staunch anti-communist with influential friends in the government." "With due respect, Minister, the leak did occur after Zorin bought the company." "Precisely why I've initiated an investigation." "All right, but let's be discreet about it." "But of course, Minister." "You have exactly 35 minutes to get properly dressed, 007." "They round the turn." "Just under a mile to race from this point." "Come on, Fluke!" "Move your ar..." " Who is number one?" "The grey with him?" " Oh, that's Pegasus." "Zorin's horse." "With the cane." "Max Zorin?" "Yes." "Born in Dresden." "Fled from East Germany in the sixties." "French passport." "Speaks at least five languages, no accent." "Now the talk of the City and the Bourse." " The old rags-to-riches story." " Made his first fortune in oil and gas." "Now a second in electronics and hi-tech." "Who's that with him under the hat?" "With the red dress." "A girlfriend?" "We're not sure about her." "American." "She's never far from him." "Name's May Day." "And dressed for the occasion." "Come on, Fluke!" "Get a wiggle on!" "Pegasus has come from nowhere, and as they go for the line it's Pegasus who storms clear off Fluke and Cooper Girl." "First, number one; second, number two;" "and third, number five." "First number one, Pegasus;" "second number two, Fluke;" "and third number five, Cooper Girl." "Unbelievable!" "In all my years as a trainer" "I've never seen a horse run such a fast last furlong." "Sir Godfrey Tibbett." "Our department." " Many congratulations." " Thank you." " Lucky man, Zorin." " Could be more than luck, Admiral." " Fixed?" " Your guess is as good as mine." "The French Jockey Club have hired a detective, Aubergine, to look into it." "Easy, Pegasus." "Calm down, Pegasus." "Steady." "She must take a lot of vitamins." "Perhaps Pegasus does too." "I think I should meet with this detective friend of yours." "Yes." "Might have some interesting information for us." "Set it up, Tibbett." "Right you are." "Moneypenny - be a darling, would you, and collect that for me." " I'll buy you dinner when we get back." " Pegasus!" "Bollinger, '75." "I see you are a connoisseur, Monsieur Bond." " Ensuite, Lafite Rothschild '59." " Another excellent choice." "I'm pleased you approve - since you're paying the bill." " Cheers." " Santé, Monsieur Aubergine." "The Sùreté has no information on Zorin before he came over from East Germany?" "Through a personal connection I saw his dossier myself." "But even Sùreté records are sometimes incomplete!" ""Et voici maintenant" the fabulous Dominique and the enchanted "papillons"!" "Perhaps we should add this butterfly to our collection, no?" "Tell me, why do Zorin's horses beat others with superior bloodlines?" "This is a mystery." " Could he be using drugs?" " Nothing showed up in the tests." "Later this month, Zorin will hold his annual sales at his stud near Paris." "Security is formidable but the key to this mystery is there." "And I, Achille Aubergine, intend to find it." " Qu'est-ce qu'il y a?" " There's a fly in his soup." " Follow that parachute." " Crazy English!" "Out." "My car!" "My car!" "Congratulations." "So?" "This operation was to be conducted discreetly." "It took six million francs in damages and penalties for violating most of the Napoleonic Code." "Under the circumstances it was more important to identify the assassin." "What did you learn from Aubergine before his demise?" "Only that Zorin is having a thoroughbred sale at his stud not far from here." "I should be there." " Can you help me, Sir Godfrey?" " I may be able to arrange an invitation." "It's a bit short notice..." "but I might just be able to squeeze you in." "Thank you." "Sir Godfrey, your hat." "Mr Saint John Smith?" "St John Smythe, my dear." " My name is Scarpine." "Head of security." " How do you do." " We have a room for you at the chateau." " Oh, splendid." "By the way, the preview is in progress at the main stables." " Is that it?" " No, no, those are the servants' quarters." "The stables are over here." "Let me escort you there." " Catalogue of the sales." " Thank you." "Tell me - the lthacus colt." "Is it here?" " You mean the full brother of Pegasus?" " Yes." "He's the outstanding horse of the sales." "He'll be shown last." "We expect him to fetch over three million dollars." "Sounds quite reasonable." "If you need any further assistance please call me." "Thank you." "Steady!" "Steady, Pegasus." "Keep him on a tight rein!" "Steady now, Pegasus." "We are now very proud to present the full brother of Pegasus." "This colt is born in the purple." "Monsieur Smythe." "Monsieur Zorin has been detained." "He's anxious to meet you at the reception in the chateau gardens later." "I look forward to it." " I wish you wouldn't keep wandering off." " I'm sorry, sir." "Your driver may stay in the servants' quarters." "I'm sure that'll be more than adequate." "What do you say, Tibbett?" " Welcome, sir." "I'm Jenny Flex." " Of course you are." " I'll call a porter." " Oh, no need." "My man'll take care of it." " Let me show you to your room." " Thank you." "When you're ready, Tibbett." "Well, my dear, I take it you spend a lot of time in the saddle." " Yes, I love an early morning ride." " I'm an early riser myself." "Come along, Tibbett." "Stop wheezing." "Don't stand there panting, Tibbett." "Start unpacking." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, sir." " The reception is at six." " Thank you, my dear." "Well, you heard what Miss Jenny Flex said:" "There is a reception at six." " Yes, sir." " So I need a white jacket and a black tie." "Yes, sir." " And if possible, a clean shirt." " Yes, sir." "Oh, my Lord, Tibbett!" "Look at the state of my clothes." " How on earth do you pack my bags?" " Sorry, sir." "Mr Faras told his trainer he'll go to a million for the lthacus colt." " Good." "Anything from St John Smythe?" " Nothing about the sale, sir." " But I'd hate to be his valet." " You'll have to buck up your ideas." " I'm sorry, sir." " Don't be so damned obsequious." "Oh, my Lord." "What the devil's wrong with these shoes?" " Were they wiped over with an oily rag?" " Terribly sorry, sir." "You blasted well should be." "I don't know how long you expect to remain in my employ..." " Well done, my good man." " Must we keep this up when we're alone?" "A successful cover becomes almost second nature." "What's all this about Pegasus disappearing?" "One minute he's in his stall - the next, neither hide nor hair of him." "We should look into it." "Well, don't you concern yourself with that." "There's the man I saw at the Pegasus stable" " Another wealthy owner?" " Who knows?" " But she'd bear closer inspection." " We're on a mission." "Sir Godfrey, on a mission I am expected to sacrifice myself." "Lovely party." "Enjoying our little party, Monsieur..." "Saint John Smythe?" "Immensely." "St John Smythe." "Looks as though you'll have a good turnout for the sale tomorrow." "May I introduce Miss Sutton?" "Sheikh Farouk." " Welcome." " Mr Zorin." "Main Strike all set?" "We'll know after the 22nd." " Thank you." " Enjoy yourself." "You were looking for something?" "Yes, I... was looking for the bar." "Come." "I will show you." "Oh, by the way, the name is St John Smythe." "James St John Smythe." "Dr Carl Mortner." "At your service." " Hiya, doc!" " Good afternoon, Mr Conley." "Mr Conley, Mr Smythe." "Bob Conley." " Are you a trainer?" " Horses?" "Hell, I can't even ride." " I'm in the oil business." " Oh." "Texas?" "Frisco." "I handle Mr Zorin's oil interests there." "Would you excuse us?" "Come on, honey." "Are you a doctor of medicine?" "Oh, no, no." "I am Mr Zorin's breeding consultant." "Oh, really?" "Then you can let me into a little secret." "How is it you succeed with breeding bloodlines other experts think inferior?" "Selective breeding is important." "But more important is conditioning and a desire, "ja"?" "Are you talking about people or horses?" "My principles apply equally to human beings." "Mr St John Smythe." "Allow me to introduce myself." "Mr Zorin, it's a great pleasure." " A groom asked if you'd go to the stables." " Of course." "You will excuse me?" "I must congratulate you, Mr Zorin." "Your stables are magnificent." "Built in the 16th century by a duke who believed he'd be reincarnated as a horse." "Have thoroughbreds interested you long?" "Oh, no." "As a matter of fact I had a dotty old aunt die and leave me some stables." "So I thought it might be rather fun to breed and raise horses." " I take it you ride?" " I'm happiest in the saddle." "A fellow-sportsman." "What about fishing?" "Fly casting?" "I'm neglecting my other guests." "You'll find the young ladies stimulating company." "I'm sure they are." "Hello." "I thought you might like to join the party." "By the way, the name is James St John Smythe." "I'm English." " I never would have guessed." " Really?" "Well, are you buying or selling?" " Selling?" "!" " Horses." "No, I'm not interested in horses." "Well, you came to the wrong place, didn't you?" "May Day." "Get her away from him." "I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before." "Have Security keep a good eye on him." "You didn't say what part of the States you come from, Miss..." "No." "I didn't." "I suppose you travel a lot?" "Your helicopter leaves in 20 minutes." "You're not staying the night?" "I was hoping we'd spend the evening together." "Now I shall be all alone." "I doubt that." " Well, let me walk you to the chopper." " That won't be necessary." " Someone will take care of you." " You'll see to that personally, will you?" "Are you looking for this?" "Quite a letdown." " St John Smythe?" " Sleeping like a baby." "That's a boy." "There we are." "It's interesting." "He's had surgery." "Surgery?" "That is how Zorin won the race." "Mortner implanted one of these microchips into Pegasus." "You see, these microchips are programmed to control an injection of additional natural horse steroids." " To overcome fatigue during the race." " How?" "The injection itself, with that small needle, is triggered by a remote-control transmitter small enough to fit into the tip of a jockey's whip - or a cane." "The lights!" "There's a world surplus of microchips and Zorin is hoarding them!" " I'm afraid I wasn't much help." " Don't worry." "It's all wrapped up." "Keep your guard up higher." "And retain your balance." " What now?" " We'd better get back." "The tape ran out five minutes ago." "I told you not to disturb us." "It's important." "There's been intruders in the warehouse." "Put Security on full alert." "Let's see where Mr St John Smythe is." ""He" was the man at the Eiffel Tower." " We must find him." " I'll get dressed." "May Day, where have you been?" "I've been waiting for you." "To take care of me personally." "I see you're a woman of very few words." "What's there to say?" " Is everything here?" " Ja, ja." "Except this." "It is in the wrong place." "Bring St John Smythe to my study first thing in the morning." "Good morning." "I understand you wish to see me." " You slept well?" " A little restless, but I got off eventually." "I have the Progeny Index on the computer:" "A compilation of thoroughbred bloodlines." "Might be helpful to you in selecting your purchase this afternoon." "As I see it, you need a stallion." "For breeding." "A stallion sounds right to me." "I find a computer indispensable." "I have a stallion." "Descended from that horse there." "Misty." "We have several horses that might interest you." "Splendid." "Would you be interested primarily in stamina?" " Or speed?" " Well, a little of both would be ideal." "I think I have just the horse for you." "It's time for my morning ride." " Why don't you try him out?" " That sounds a very good idea." " I shall get into some riding clothes." " Good." "Half an hour, then." "Scarpine will collect you." "Thank you." "Tibbett, get into town, call M and ask him to put a trace on this cheque." "Be quick." "If those guards we laid out identify us we'll have to move fast." "What shall I say if they ask where I'm going?" "Just tell them you have to get the car washed." "Just going to town to get the car washed." " Your mount, Mr St John Smythe." " A beautiful beast." "A little spirited." "What's his name?" "Inferno." " Friends of yours?" " Exercise boys." "Jumping together is more realistic training." "Frankly, I prefer cross-country to steeplechase." "As one sportsman to another, I'll make you a proposition." "You can have that lthacus colt gratis if you stay this course." " And if I'm thrown?" " Then you lose." "You leave me little choice." "Splendid." "Scarpine will start us." "Steady!" "Keep going!" "Sir Godfrey." "Let's get..." "You lost, 007." " Killing Tibbett was a mistake." " I'm about to make the same one twice." "My department know I'm here." "They'll retaliate." "If you're the best they have, they'll more likely try to cover up your incompetence." "Don't count on it, Zorin." " You amuse me, Mr Bond." " Well, it's not mutual." "Other side." "Open up." " Good morning, Comrade Zorin." " General Gogol." " This meeting is ill-advised." " A calculated risk." "But necessary, as you refuse to answer your control." "Come to the point, General." "You disregard procedure." "You did not request approval before eliminating 007." " Reprisals might jeopardise operations." " You jeopardise mine!" "Letting the British penetrate the Siberian research centre." "That was regrettable." "Your racing activities attract unnecessary attention, but more disturbing are your unauthorised commercial ventures." "We cannot tolerate that." "The issue is irrelevant." "I've made new associations." "I no longer consider myself a KGB agent." "We trained you." "Financed you." "What would you be without us?" "A biological experiment." "A freak." "Enough of this!" "Control yourselves." "You will come back to us, Comrade." "No one ever leaves the KGB." "Gentlemen." "For centuries alchemists tried to make gold from base metals." "Today we make microchips from silicon, which is common sand." "But far better than gold." "For several years we've had a profitable partnership:" "You as manufacturers, while I passed on to you industrial information that made you competitive, successful." "We are now in the unique position to form an international cartel to control not only production but distribution of these microchips." "There is one obstacle." "Silicon Valley." "Near San Francisco." "Over 250 plants employing thousands of scientists, technicians." "This is the heartland of electronic production in the United States, which accounts for what - 80% of the world microchip market." "I propose to end the domination of Silicon Valley." " And to leave us in control of that market." " What is it you propose?" "Project Main Strike." "For which, each of you will pay me one hundred million dollars." "A hundred million dollars?" "!" "Plus half our net income?" "Under an exclusive marketing agreement with me." "These are outrageous terms!" "Perhaps a demonstration would convince you." " I want no part of it, thank you." " As you wish." "The rest of our discussion must of course be confidential." " Would you wait outside?" " If you'd like me to, yes." "Excuse me." "May Day will provide you with a drink." "This way." "So, does anybody else want to drop out?" "Wow!" "What a view!" "To a kill." "Five dollars." "Thank you." " Looking for something special?" " Yes." "Soft-shell crabs." "Might have some in the back." "I'll be a few minutes." "Chuck Lee, CIA." "It's a pleasure working with 007." " Thanks." "Now what about Zorin?" " He's in town." "I can have him tailed." "No, not yet." "Conley is a geologist." "Runs Zorin's oil reclamation project in the East Bay." "Last job:" "Chief engineer in a South African gold mine." "Left in a hurry after a cave-in killed 20 miners." "Zorin's kind of man!" "What about the girl?" "And the cheque?" "You know how many S Suttons there are in the US?" "We watch Zorin's account." "The cheque hasn't been cashed." " Mortner?" " Got a real winner here." "His real name is Hans Glaub, a German pioneer in the development of steroids." "That ties in with the horse injections." "In World War II he used steroids on pregnant women in concentration camps in an attempt to enhance intelligence." " With any success?" " Virtually every mother aborted." "A handful of children were produced with phenomenal IQs." "But there was a side-effect:" "They were psychotics." "Why wasn't this Mortner or Glaub tried by the War Crimes Commission?" "The Russians grabbed him." "Set him up in a laboratory." "He spent years developing steroids for their athletes, then vanished 15 years ago." "About the same time Zorin came over to the West." "Could Zorin be one of the steroid kids?" "He's definitely the right age, and he's certainly psychotic." "What about his oil operations?" " Mr O'Rourke!" " Aye!" " Can you spare a minute?" " Sure thing." "The oil operation looks clean, except for a problem with the crab fishermen." "Good morning." "Here's that reporter I told you about." "Mr O'Rourke." "I understand you have a problem." "That Zorin oil pumping station ruined one of the best crab patches in the Bay." "Scared them away?" "They didn't go nowhere." "They just disappeared." "Well, I'd like to look at that oil pumping station." "That'll be tough." "It's very heavily guarded." "We'll be testing new equipment shortly." "Keep a sharp lookout." " I don't want anyone near this dock." " Very good, sir." " Valves 5 to 15 are open." " What's the report from the wells?" "Wells report valves open and ready to receive water." "Good." "Open valves 16 to 25." "Valve 10 at half capacity, sir." "Give me an update on valve procedure for the Main Strike programme." "We'll have a field crew check it out in the morning." " Valves to wells 26 to 30 open, sir." " Right." "Activate pumping procedure." "50 per cent power." "Increase it." "Maximum." "The new seals are not fully tested." "Main Strike's in three days." "Any delays..." "I hold you responsible." " Yes, sir." " Bring it up to full." "Slowly." " Shut down!" "The propeller's jammed." " Fix it." "You there!" "Get a man down there!" "Let's go, move." "Come on, you guys." "Gimme a hand." " Get the alarms turned off." " Yes, sir." "Hurry up, goddammit!" "Clear that pump." "We're behind schedule." "Give it to me." "Guard!" "Tell Conley to resume pumping." "This is yours, I believe." "Defuse it." "Well!" " Pola Ivanova!" " James Bond!" " Check the beach area." " Let's get out of here." "That feels wonderful!" "Feels even better from where I'm sitting." " Would you like it harder?" " James, you haven't changed." "Well, you have." "You're even lovelier." "James, that night in London when I was with the Bolshoi..." "What a performance!" "In my dressing room later..." "Did you know I was an agent with orders to seduce you?" "Why do you think I sent you three dozen "red" roses?" "Now that "was" a performance." "Quite a coincidence, us running into one another!" " Come on, tell me the truth." " Let's not talk shop." "Let's put on something more..." " inspirational." " Why not?" "Are you all right?" "The bubbles tickle my..." "Tchaikovsky!" "Détente can be beautiful." "This is no time to be discussing politics." "Pola?" "Yes, darling?" "You know something?" "Tomorrow I shall buy you "six" dozen red roses." "How lovely darling." "I can't wait." "The tape?" "The Silicon Valley operation must not be delayed." "Main Strike's in three days." "Any delays, I hold you responsible." "It's essential the remaining pipelines are open on time." "Our economy needs investors like Mr Zorin." "California welcomes him with open arms." " May I quote you on that, Mr Howe?" " Certainly." "Is there anything else I can tell the "Financial Times"?" "Yes." "My readers want to know why Zorin is pumping sea water "into" his pipeline instead of pumping oil out." "Sea water is used to test the integrity of the pipeline." "It's a lot safer than oil." "Just in case there are any leaks." "Well, I didn't know that." "Well, thank you, Mr Howe." "That about wraps it up." "Would you come this way, please?" "If you'd like any further information just call me, Mr..." "Stock." "James Stock." "Thank you, Mr Howe." " Mr Howe!" " Stacey, what do you want?" "I have some porosity tests I want to show you." "I can only spare a couple of minutes." "Sorry." "Come out real slow." "Just another Zorin stooge, Mr..." "whatever your name was." "Actually, it's James Stock." "London "Financial Times"." "You can tell the police which." "And you can tell them about the $5 million payoff you received from Zorin." "I saw the cheque." "You cut the line." "Get back." "Sit down." " What's this loaded with?" " Rock salt." "Now you tell me." "No!" "The vase!" "No!" "Take this." "Oh, hell!" "Sorry, Granddad." "Hey, wait for me!" "Thank you." "My pleasure." "All the king's horses and all his men won't do much with that." "That's all right." "It was Granddad's ashes." "But he always loved a good fight." "I'm Stacey." "Sutton." " Yes." " And... you're a reporter." " What was it?" " Stock." "James Stock." " Right." " Yes, I'm researching an article on Zorin." "I used a friend's name to get an invitation to the chateau." "I can tell you a few things about Zorin." "I'd like to hear them." "I have to feed him." "Are you hungry?" " What are you serving?" "Whiskas?" " I only have leftovers in the fridge." " I'm a pathetic cook." " I'll lend a hand." " You can cook?" " I've been known to dabble." "Sounds interesting." "What is it?" "An omelette." "Now, you were telling me about your grandfather." "He left Sutton Oil to Dad - who expected me, as the only child, to take it over." " So at college I studied geology." " And then what happened?" "Zorin." "He took over Sutton Oil in a rigged proxy fight." "I fought him in the courts." "It's taken all I had." "All the cash, the furniture, everything." "So I took this job as state geologist and I've just managed to hold on to the house and my shares." "And that's what the $5 million were for?" "Your shares?" "Ten times more than they're worth." "Just drop the lawsuit and shut my mouth." "I haven't accepted yet." "So Zorin sent along his gorillas to help you make up your mind." "They have." "I'd sell everything and live in a tent before I give up." "That was delicious." "And the way you handled those men." "Well, those... baboons could come back." "I hope not." "Well, then, I'll... check the windows and doors, and..." " Reconnect the telephone." " The box is outside my bedroom window." "I think I should be able to find that." "Good morning." "Oh, I say!" "Breakfast "out" of bed." " What's wrong with them?" " We had an earth tremor." "They're extremely sensitive to seismic activity." "Let's see what the Earthquake Center has on it." "Just a minor tremor." "Measured 2.5 on the Richter scale." "Location..." "That's odd." "The epicentre's near Zorin's oil field." "I told Howe yesterday that Zorin was pumping sea water into his wells." " Is there a connection?" " Sea water?" "Those wells are in the Hayward fault." " Are you sure?" " I checked it myself." "That's incredibly dangerous." "Howe "has" to stop Zorin now." " What happened?" " I got fired." " He fired me." " All right." "Calm down." "This evening we'll meet a friend of mine from Washington." "Maybe, just maybe, he'll come up with a few answers." "I wish we could be more specific about Zorin's intentions before I go to the top." "Flooding a fault could cause a major earthquake." "But what would Zorin have to gain?" "On the tape Zorin mentioned Silicon Valley." "Could that be affected?" "No, not severely." "Silicon Valley's too far away." "But if we knew how many wells were involved, we might get a clearer picture." "That information's available at City Hall." " I still have my security pass." " Then let's go to City Hall." " Let me go and get it." " I'll tell Washington we need more help." "Don't waste any time." "There's only 24 hours." " Good evening, Jeff." " Evening, ma'am." " Won't be long" " OK." " Main Strike." " Hey, I know that place." "That's an abandoned silver mine by the San Andreas fault." "Alive and well, I see." "And still bungling in the dark." "Well, then, why don't you enlighten me, Zorin?" "You're out of your depth." "And you, Sutton." "You should have accepted my more than generous offer." " You can take your offer and shove it." " Don't bother, Stacey" "He's a psychopath." "You two have joined forces?" " That simplifies things." " He's probably armed." "Stacey, I..." "Mr Zorin." "Call the police, Mr Howe." " What's going on?" " Tell them... there's been a break-in." "Ask them to get here as soon as possible." "You're being used, Mr Howe." "Do it." "Hello." "We've had a break-in here." " City Hall, office 306." "Come at once." " Right away." " What have they done?" " You discharged her." "So she and her accomplice came here to kill you." "Then they set fire to the office to conceal the crime, but they were trapped in the elevator." "And perished in the flames." "But that means I would have to be..." "Dead." "That's rather neat." "Don't you think?" "Brilliant." "I'm almost speechless with admiration." "Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius." ""Herr Doktor" Mortner will be proud of his creation." "Please." "Get back." " Out." " Let's go." "Get back!" "Hold tight." "Come on, Stacey." "Give me your hand." "Stretch!" "Don't go away." "James, don't leave me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "I'll be right with you." "Help!" " It "is" the City Hall." " I'll call the fire department." "Try and come this side of the girder." " Catch this." " I can't reach it!" "Come on." "Catch!" "Now... push!" "Go on." "Good girl." "You're nearly there." "Go on, stretch!" "Get this TV crew outta here, will ya?" "Come on." "Get outta my way." "All we know is that there are people trapped inside of City Hall." "Come on." "Back off, will ya?" "Let us through, goddammit." "Give her some air." "Comin' through." "Out of the way, please." "Stacey!" "You're safe." "Let me through, goddammit." "I wanna talk to you." "Captain." "If you can get to Howe's office you'll find him dead." "We found him - and this gun." "This yours?" " Yes, thanks." " Turn around." "If you check with Chuck Lee of the CIA, he'll inform you who I am." " We found his body in Chinatown." " What?" " You're under arrest." " Wait." "This is James Stock of the London "Financial Times"." "Actually I'm with the British Secret Service." "The name is Bond." "James Bond." " Is he?" " Are you?" "Yes." "And I'm Dick Tracy and you're still under arrest." "Get in here." "Hey, where's that guy goin'?" "That ladder's unlocked." "Is that true what you said about the British secret service?" "Yes, I'm afraid it is." "My real name "is" Bond." "James Bond." "You must take my word for it." "Put your hand on this." "The wheel!" "Take over." "Put your foot on here." "James, where are you going?" "To all units." "Intercept murder suspect in stolen fire truck." "He may be armed and he's sure dangerous." " Pull away you idiots." " I can't." "The fenders are locked!" " I told you, they're locked!" " Oh, my God, watch out!" " James!" " Turn!" "Not this way." "That way!" " Swing me back!" " Oh, jeez!" "Drive on!" " I think I can get him." " Go for it!" "That should keep them on the wrong track." "Hello." "Raise the bridge?" "Right now?" "Yes, sir!" "I got him." "Oh, jeez, I got him!" "Keep going!" "Oh, my God!" "Hey, watch out!" "Get out of the way!" "Jesus!" "Oh, mother!" "Holy shit!" "Move it!" "Harris..." "Forget about that sergeant promotion." "You'll have to pay for this vehicle." "100 bucks a month out of your paycheck." "Oh, no!" "Wake up." "We're there." "There's a lot of activity for an abandoned mine." "That truckload of explosives should last them for months." "Here comes next year's supply." "Get down." " Where's the fire?" " On your rear end." "Give me a hand." "Gerry..." " It's the rules." "Hard hat area." " Thanks." "Follow the signs." "Move it." "You're late!" "You two, come here." "Give us a hand unloading this." "OK, leave it there." "Get a coffee over at the hut." "Come back in 20 minutes." "It's women's lib." "They're taking over the Teamsters." "OK, get this stuff movin'!" "We're an hour late." "I should take a closer look at that mine." "What's stopping you?" "That's a good idea of yours." "Pity you couldn't find one that fits." "Why walk when you can ride?" "Keep it coming, keep it coming." "OK, let's go." "Will you keep still!" "Do you know what I'm sitting on?" "I'm trying not to think about it." "Stand clear." "All personnel not on essential duties, leave underground area immediately." "Standby crew, we need you up here." "Ready to unload." "OK, stand clear." "Let's go, standby crew." "Break off." "Stand clear." "Standby forward." "Bring the gag up here and clear these barriers away." "Come on, let's go." "We haven't got all day." "Clear the safety barrier." "Come on, move!" "Hey, on the crane!" "Swing the cradle over here." "Take it off." "Bring it over." "Easy." " You found anything?" " Yes." "I think I have." "Good." "Good." "Hold 'em." "OK, get those wedges in there tight!" "Come on, lay the head down here." "OK?" "The San Andreas Lake is right above us." "Lots of seepage." "Could flood any minute." "Finish shoring up the roof." "I'll send the lug back." "OK." "Bring up some timber, on the double!" "He'll kill millions." "These green lights - they're Zorin's oil wells." "The ones he's been using to pump sea water into the Hayward fault." "What are these tunnels for under these lakes?" "These lead straight into this section of the San Andreas fault." "Zorin just has to blast through the bottom of these lakes to flood the fault." " And create a... double earthquake?" " Yes." "Except..." "Except right beneath us is the key geological lock that keeps the faults from moving at once." "Hey, let's go!" "All those explosives." "Would they be enough to break the lock?" "Of course!" "If they go off, both faults move at once." "Silicon Valley and everything in it submerged for ever." "If it happened at the peak of the spring tide for maximum effect..." "That's today at 9.41." "In less than an hour!" " We have to go and warn people." " Wait!" "Stand back." "Jump!" "Get him." " Get 'em back to work." " You men, get back to work." "It's Bond." "Close up the entrance." "Nobody gets out." "Hold it!" "In." "Come on." " Did you pass anyone back there?" " No." "I saw no one." " Now which way?" " The map." "There's a draught from up there." " It must be a ventilation shaft." " Wait!" "That must lead to the fault." "The water from the lakes!" "Yes." "And it'll be flooding any moment." "Come on." "You two, that way." "Give me your hand." "It's time to flood the fault." "But..." "May Day." "And my men." "Yeah." "A convenient coincidence." "Mr Zorin, those men are loyal to you." "Hurry!" " Get help." "Quick!" " Get a doctor." "Come on, run for your life!" "Give me some spare clips." "Keep climbing!" "Keep going!" "James!" "Good." "Right on schedule." "Let's go." "And I thought that creep loved me!" "You're not the only one he double-crossed." "All outboard valves fully locked, sir." "The water level's dropping." "Pump pressure good." "Jenny!" "Come on." "There's nothing you can do for them now." "Up and away!" "Silicon Valley." "Perfect!" "Hold position here." "Only minutes more, Carl." "Nothing can stop it now." "The greatest cataclysm in history." "And all attributed to natural causes." "Exactly." "We must hurry." "I have to get down and defuse that detonator." "You can't." "The time has been booby trapped." "If you tamper with it we're going to blow up." "Then we have to bring the whole thing up." "But how?" "Get on the rig." "I'll lower you down." "Get on!" "Keep going!" "Come on." "OK, hold it there." "Take it up!" " Get on!" " It's too heavy." "Go!" "Get on, dammit!" "OK, go!" "Keep going!" "That's it." "Swing it over to the truck." "Easy." "Gently!" "Right, lower it." "Take her up." "We've only seconds before this blows." "If it does, that powder keg goes with it." "The handbrake slipped." "Push!" " Jump!" " I have to hold the brake off." "Jump!" "Get Zorin for me!" "May Day, jump!" "Only seconds to go." "May Day, jump!" "May Day!" "James." "Stacey, behind you!" "Get down!" "Come on, get in." "Get up here!" "The ship's nose is heavy." "He must be on the mooring rope." "This'll hurt him more than me." "More!" "More power." "More." "Do it!" "Full throttle!" "Right rudder." "Do it!" "Stop it!" "Get her off!" " Stop it!" "Are you crazy?" " Get her off." "Get away!" "Go get him." "Go!" "Stacey, jump!" "Get a foothold!" "Max!" "James!" "Stacey, give me your hand." "Get under the pipe." "OK, stay there." "James, look out!" "Stacey, hold tight!" " Stacey, are you there?" " You betcha!" " Are you all right?" " Yes." "There's never a cab when you want one." "The Order of Lenin, for Comrade Bond." "The first time ever awarded to a non-Soviet citizen." "I'd have expected the KGB to celebrate if Silicon Valley "had" been destroyed." "On the contrary, Admiral." "Where would Russian research be without it?" "Is Commander Bond here?" "I'd like to thank him personally." "Sadly he's missing." "We are continuing our search, but must presume the worst." "A bit of soap here... and a little soap there!" " Oh, drat!" "I've dropped the soap." " I'll get it." ""That" is not the soap." " Hello?" " Grandfather calling Q." " What's the position?" " 007 alive." " Where is he?" "What's he doing?" " Just cleaning up a few details." "Oh, James...!" "Subtitles by Visiontext" "One watch." " Most unusual." " From Russia." "With love." "One pen." "And one lighter." "Clear out, quickly!" "All this." "Sign here." "Immediately." "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "In the early 1970s, many critics say that James Bond's time has passed." "I've lost my charm." "But Roger Moore launches a new generation of Bond fans." "Hope you enjoyed the show." "Each new Bond adventure becomes a worldwide smash." "We have an audience out there asking us, begging us, telling us "Make another Bond picture."" "They're waiting for the next Bond." "This goes on all the time." "It goes on right now." "There's only question:" "How long can the success last?" "With "Octopussy", one of the most successful 007 films ever, the James Bond creative team immediately begins working on the story line for the next Bond movie: "A View to a Kill."" "There were two interesting issues going on." "One is the competition over microchips." "The idea that someone could monopolise the chip market was a fun idea." "How would you do it when you have that whole Silicon Valley there?" "You have to have this larger-than-life villain." "A tremendous caper." "We came up with this idea of sinking Silicon Valley under a flood of water by causing a huge earthquake." "The villain's caper in "A View to a Kill" is one of the best we've had." "One of the most unexpected and one of the most exciting." "The final script features a finale involving the Golden Gate Bridge." "We were in San Francisco on a recce with Barbara Broccoli, Arthur Wooster and myself." "And we saw the Fuji ships." "We contacted them and asked them if we could photograph them near the Golden Gate Bridge." "We're looking out to sea - we're on the right." "There's a little hillock round there." "Sure enough the blimp appeared, and we were in a position to do shots of it approaching the bridge from various vantage points." "It wasn't until it got on top of us that you could read "Fuji"." "I pulled focus, Alan Hume was operating," "John Glen did the clapperboard, I think." "We were the most expensive grips that there have ever been." "And we shot footage, and the shots were actually used in the film." "That was one of the reasons, when we did our model, that we did do the colouring very similar to the Fuji airship." "So that we could use some of those shots." "Soon casting begins." "To play the villain, Max Zorin, the producers turn to an Academy Award winning actor, Christopher Walken." "You amuse me, Mr Bond." "He's got a quirky kind of touch to him." "Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius." "Chris was a very good heavy." "Very interesting actor." "Funny man, too." "For the part of Stacey Sutton, former "Charlie's Angels" star Tanya Roberts is signed." "Evidently Cubby saw an older movie I had done called "Beastmaster"" "and he thought I had the right look." "As Zorin's henchwoman, May Day, the filmmakers cast flamboyant model and recording star Grace Jones." "Grace is an incredible character." "She's just a fiery woman." " A great performer." " Totally cool." "She brought more to the role than was on the page." "I remember when I first did the make-up and I thought "Maybe... he might think it's too strong."" "The director, John Glen." "And it was great." "He came and he says "Put more red on there and more colour."" "And I went "Wonderful!" I couldn't believe it." "She was full of life and vitality." "A little hard to get from one place to another, to get up and get on site." "She always showed up, but you had to sweat out that last second." " Once she got there she was great." " I am... completely not the person I'm playing." "I'm a villain sometimes, but on a much, much smaller scale." "Also cast in the film is an actor who gained worldwide fame as the star of the TV series "The Avengers":" "Patrick Macnee." "Barbara Broccoli had suggested me to her father, Cubby Broccoli, for the part of the jockey." " He was a friend of Barbara's." " He said "Isn't he a bit big for a jockey?"" "She said "Couldn't you change it?" And so they made it a racehorse trainer." "There's an interesting chemistry between Roger Moore and Patrick Macnee." "We worked next to one another all through the years when I was doing "The Saint" and he was doing "The Avengers"." "With the cast in place, production starts on 23 June 1984, as the second unit begins shooting the pre-credit sequence in remote, exotic Iceland." "We were shooting on a lake that was full of icebergs, any of which could suddenly flip 180 degrees at any moment and cause a massive tidal wave." "You can only survive about three minutes in that water, in that temperature." "On a couple of occasions they had to abandon equipment and just get off as fast as possible." "We did lose a bit of equipment." "Fortunately we didn't lose any people." "And we had to do the model helicopter crashing into the ice floe." "We had three helicopters." "Very expensive machines." "And the first one they took off to do the shot..." "The engine failed and it crashed in the sea." "The second one blew up on takeoff." "They sent the third and final helicopter up and, thank goodness, it worked." "The end of the pre-credit sequence also features an unusual watercraft." "Mike Turk has a boatyard at Sunbury-on-Thames." "They constructed this out of fibreglass." "The poor guy that was driving it was a special effects guy." "It was a tricksy craft." "That whole sequence was a little tricky, to say the least." "So this poor guy was sitting inside this metal can amongst all these icebergs, freezing cold." "Couldn't hear a thing on the walkie-talkie cos of the noise of the engine." "Every now and again he had to keep opening the hatch up and breathing air to let the fumes out." "Meanwhile, far off in another part of the world, on the Piz Palu glacier in Switzerland, another unit works under the direction of champion skier Willy Bogner." "The scene is capped by an exciting stunt performed by Steve Lincoln." "It was always fascinating to me when new things happen in sports." "You say "That's something that nobody's ever really seen."" "And we just came up to the idea to use the front runner of a snowmobile as a snowboard." "And we wrote the whole sequence around that gag." "Meanwhile, back in England, production designer Peter Lamont makes plans to build the huge mine set on Pinewood's 007 stage as soon as it is vacated by Ridley Scott's film "Legend"." "One lunchtime I'd gone down to a local pub with, strangely enough, a pal of mine who was the production manager on "Legend"." "And a phone call came through for him to say the 007 stage was on fire." "I remember coming back from London in a car and seeing the fire from the motorway." "There was all this smoke blowing down." "I thought "They've got a fire on the lot."" "Smoke was pouring out of the top of this stage." "They couldn't do anything about it." "It was a total disaster." "There was just twisted metal, and the whole building had collapsed." "There's this great thing looking like the Hindenburg's crashed." "Somebody asked Cubby if he wanted to go up and have a look round." "He wouldn't even look at the stage." "It hurt him quite badly." "It presented a huge problem for Peter Lamont, our production designer." "Where are we gonna find another stage that could house this enormous set?" "Now we had a scheduling problem." "Oh, my God - you know." "What am I gonna do?" "Can we bring the San Francisco location forward?" "Can we do this, can we..." "And there's always a problem, a reason that you can't bring something forward." "I bumped into Michael Brown, who had built it, and he said "I can rebuild it in three months from the time the site is clear."" "He says "We can clear the site in a month and we can start rebuilding the 007 stage."" "He said "You ought to talk to Cubby."" "So I went in there and I said "Well, I think it's like this."" ""Do you or don't you want to rebuild the 007 stage?" He said "I want to rebuild it."" "While work begins clearing the site for a new 007 stage, the first unit travels to Paris to shoot scenes involving spectacular stunts." "The challenge is, really, to put on the screen what is written." "In this case here, in order to escape, the heavy has to jump off the top of the Eiffel Tower." "We like exotic locations, but when we get there we like to do something different." "We like to jump off the Eiffel Tower with a parachute." "So it's not just see the monument." "It's engage the monument in some way." "Michael Wilson and Cubby wanted to know what was necessary to do the stunt." "I told them we wanted to make hot-air balloon jumps." "I did this with a friend:" "Don Caltvedt." "He and I made 22 jumps from a hot-air balloon over a period of weeks." "We videoed each one, and we would see how far we fell and what our body position did, what the chute did." "The problem with the Eiffel Tower as a jumping platform is that the top is very small but the bottom is very large, so it slopes away, slopes outwards very quickly." "This is only 930 foot tall." "You would be hitting steel at about 450 feet." "You needed to get out a ways." "Michael's technical background helped." " I did a little integral calculus." " 32 feet per second per second." "I said to him "Tell 'em you've got three and a half seconds."" ""That's about when you're gonna pull it."" "He's not just a suit." "He's hands-on and knows what he's talking about." "Pretty soon we had a very consistent way of opening up three seconds down, and opening on heading." "We worked the bugs out." "The way we ended up doing the timing is:" "The wind in our ears was our altimeter." "When it got to a certain pitch and picked up, that's where three seconds was." "I promised my wife I'd do ten jumps that opened up perfectly before I went to the Eiffel Tower." " We had to get the permission to do it." " We wanted to do everything wrong." "We wanted to drive the wrong way up a one-way system beside the Seine and do stunts there." "Authorities in Paris didn't in fact give us permission to shoot in Paris." "I was very fortunate in having a French production manager who was extremely adroit and very good at dealing with the local authorities." "We had to convince them that we could have a jump from the Eiffel Tower." "There were 31 or 32 separate authorities who had to attend this meeting, because they had to deliver some input before the sequence could work." "We had the maritime police, the aviation police, the tower police, the park police and the street police." "He went down and had it all worked out mathematically, and said "This is when I'm gonna pull the thing." So he got permission." "Even with official permission, the situation remains delicate." "We were all set to go and suddenly two people went up and jumped off the Eiffel Tower - a man and a woman." "They leapt off the Eiffel Tower unauthorised, landed and got arrested." "And that, we thought, was going to compromise our position." "I had a call from the Eiffel Tower saying many people have heard what you were going to do, and it already gave ideas, and we can't give you the permission because of that." " So everything was cancelled." " Put the whole project in jeopardy." "And we said "We're sorry, but we don't know who that was."" ""This has nothing to do with us."" "And we convinced them that we should forget this episode and that we would do it the right way." "Filming commences with BJ Worth parachuting from a helicopter for May Day's landing on the boat in the River Seine." "The first jump, I went down on to one knee and didn't look very graceful - no pun intended - landing on the boat." "But the second one, I was able to get over the engines and drive full-speed forward and land on the boat to make a graceful landing." "Over the period of six or seven jumps, I got quite a ways down the river." "They were able to use this, where it looks like May Day is flying along the river, and then Bond chases her with his car and then she ends up landing on the boat." "A few days later BJ Worth goes to the top of the Eiffel Tower to make a leap he's been practising for months." "Probably could have jumped off the side but I really wanted to have a little bit of a board to get a running start." "We put a platform for him to jump off." "Just as the subject leaves, you can see that platform." "I thought that I could run fast enough and far enough and leap off where I could get out over the grass, so I would have my 960 feet to fall." "If it was windy or stormy or anything at all, we wouldn't be able to jump." "And so we scheduled it for this first Monday, about 6.30 in the morning." "It was set up... possibility of three times." "And BJ was the major stuntman." "And I stood there thinking "My gosh." "Are you sure you really wanna do this?"" "Standing next to his wife and his baby," "I suddenly felt so personally involved with this person up there." "I just concentrated on doing the best job, and yelled out "This one's for Cubby", and went running off the board and threw my chest out to the horizon." "I was on the camera underneath him." "It was the longest three seconds of my life, waiting to start the chute opening and seeing the girders coming up at a rapid rate." "He didn't have a spare pull." "It had to be right." "There was no time for a second parachute." "I waited as long as I could, and when my ears heard the pitch of wind that was three seconds, I threw the pilot chute out." "And suddenly it opens up." "I flew across the garden that I saw that I thought I might land at, flew over to the river and landed right next to my wife and daughter." "BJ did such a good job on the first take that they didn't need me." "We offered to let him jump after I did so we could have two takes on the jump." "I had the full suede leather suit double as Grace Jones." "But Cubby said "No, we've got it in the can."" ""We don't wanna take any extra risk." "We're done."" "I told anybody and everybody that I'd do it for free." "I just wanted to do it." "He had been BJ's backup and felt miffed that he hadn't been able to jump off the Eiffel Tower." "It was fashionable to go, without any permit, to any tall building in the world and jump without being caught by the police or by anybody." "It's about three o'clock in the morning." "I called my friend Bill Sweeney and said" ""Bill, I think we can get up to the top tomorrow and make a jump off."" ""Nobody's gonna be around." "We should be able to pop right off, land, and be out of there before anybody knows."" "For them, it was such a unique opportunity to do something exciting that I'm afraid their enthusiasm ran away with them." "By the time they were ready to jump at seven, what they didn't know is all the crew had come up to set up for the shooting halfway up the tower that day." "The director was actually up picking out camera angles and was three fourths of the way up the Eiffel Tower and was going "Well, I think we should go there."" "And just then..." "I scream by him in free fall and my parachute opens with a big crack like that." "He was "Bloody hell, that looks like..."" "Before he could even get my name out, Sweeney goes screaming by in free fall!" "Professionals don't do unauthorised jumps." "I really thought we were gonna pull it off and very few people would have seen it." "The police get involved, the mayor." "We've got other material to shoot in Paris." "We don't want to sour our relationship with the city." "They were close to withdrawing our permission, so it was a very foolish thing to do." "I wasn't very happy about it because he was part of our team." "I was told that I had jeopardised quite an investment for the movie company, and in hindsight, looking back, I definitely did." "BJ was very apologetic, but it was too late." "It was done." "I had to fire him on the spot, and I wasn't able to ever get him on another Bond film." "I'm reminded of it every time, because I always get a phone call saying" ""Thanks for making that jump off the Eiffel Tower."" ""I got your job now and we're having fun."" "After careful negotiation, shooting continues on the Eiffel Tower with actors Roger Moore and Grace Jones." "Grace Jones literally throws herself into her character's role." "She did some of the stunts herself." "We did some shots of Grace Jones where she looks as though she's diving off." "We put boxes in." "She was very good." "She sort of flew through the air." "It was lovely." "We had a camera right on her, and she dives." "She was a gutsy little lady." "Meanwhile, Bond veteran Rémy Julienne and his precision driving team lend their expertise to a truly smashing scene... filmed along the banks of the Seine river." "Rémy actually drove it and ducked down and came up again after it had gone." "The timing's terrifying." "Rémy Julienne is, of course, one of the great stunt drivers of the world and, of course, is the primary stunt driver in France." "And although Rémy's English wasn't very good and my French was even worse, we communicated through drawings." "He put together a great stunt sequence down by the Seine river." "He was a very, very good stunt coordinator and very creative in what he was doing." "That was actually something he came up with, the leap onto the roof of the bus and off the other side." "It was all done precisely with stopwatches." "The bus had to travel quite slowly because it's only six metres long." "And so as a landing platform for a car travelling at speed, and the car had to travel at speed in order to get the lift off the ramp, that's not a lot of space to put your wheels down on." "It's a great sequence." "The first unit next moves to Chantilly." "Apparently, the duke who built the palace was convinced he would be reincarnated as a donkey in a future life." "So he built the stables befitting a duke who became a donkey." "When you go into Chantilly, of course, all the gates, all the pictures on the walls, they're not of human beings." "They're horses." "It's like a first-class hotel for horses." "Amazing." "Really beautiful." "Roger Moore has fun acting opposite his old friend Patrick Macnee." "He was supposed to be acting a role as his chauffeur." "He thought it would be fun in the movie to kind of rub it in." " I'll call a porter." " That won't be necessary." "My man'll take care of it." "Roger didn't miss an opportunity to improvise extra dialogue, putting Patrick down, saying "Carry my bags and be quick about it."" "Well done, my good man." "Do we have to keep this up when we're alone?" "Well, a successful cover becomes almost second nature." "At Chantilly, Patrick Macnee drives a very special car:" "Cubby Broccoli's own Rolls-Royce." "It was his real car which he'd driven from London to Paris in." "We wanted a Rolls-Royce that was elegant, and obviously Cubby's was the real choice." "It was an early Silver Cloud." "It was a great Rolls-Royce." "We still have it to this day." "Trying to get this car through these gates which were made for horse carriages, which, as you know, are narrower than what is made for a motor car..." "Cubby used to sit in a director's chair just the other side when I was driving it through, looking at his precious car to see that nothing would happen to it." "I'll never forget his expression." "Sort of a praying expression." "The continuation of the scene is filmed later, back in England." "We actually shot that with a real Rolls-Royce going into a gravel pit in Denham, near Pinewood Studios." "But, of course, when it gets sunk we didn't want to sink Cubby's, so we bought a duplicate." "We used a real Rolls-Royce." "What else does one do on a Bond?" "At the end of August, the first unit returns to Pinewood Studios." "Then, on September 3, they go to the races." "The horse racing in the film kind of surfaced because Cubby was interested in breeding at that time and racing horses." "He had quite a stable himself." "Of course there wasn't really horse racing going on at the time, but we put on Ascot." "We recreated it, and I had everyone get on the tails and the high top hats, and it turned out to be one of our easier locations." "The unit then moves to the Amberley Chalk Pits Museum in West Sussex to film the exterior of Zorin's mine." "During filming, Tanya Roberts requests a costume alteration for her character." "They brought out these gigantic overalls." "You wouldn't have been able to see me." "So I just asked 'em to take a little nip and a tuck, and they did, and then they fit like an Armani suit." "Pity you couldn't find one that fits." "When the crew returns to Pinewood, Roger Moore meets a new co-star." "Within minutes of meeting this wonderful man" "I'm sitting in a Jacuzzi, with very little on, playing that hot tub scene with him." "It look a whole day to shoot the Jacuzzi scene, and from the moment I got into the hot tub with Roger to the moment I got out, we were in the water about nine hours." "So you can imagine the state of our skin when we got out!" "At the end of September, the first and second units fly to San Francisco, where the mayor welcomes them with open arms." "What a wonderful place to shoot, San Francisco." "Nice climate." "At that time Dianne Feinstein was the mayor." "She really promoted the city." "She wanted to promote filmmaking." "It was just lucky and fortunate enough that she was one of the rare people that preferred me as Bond instead of Sean." "And so we got all sorts of permits." "Joining the cast in San Francisco is David Yip, better known to British TV viewers as the Chinese Detective." "I was terrified to meet Roger Moore." "And he was sweet." "He was a sweetheart." "The biggest problem was crowds." "You got into Fisherman's Wharf and they'd set this up, but there were literally thousands of people wanting to see the filming." "I went up to visit Roger and Luisa just for dinner, to say hello, in San Francisco." "And they were shooting at Fisherman's Wharf." "And I am said to be in the background somewhere." "So I've actually made three James Bond movies." "She said "Just for fun, I'll walk in the background like an extra." And she did." "That's the great big mystery:" "Can you find me in "A View to a Kill"?" "Please let me know when and where." "Beginning in early October, the second unit spends three weeks filming the exciting fire-engine chase." "Arthur Wooster was given the task of shooting a lot of the night material." "We did four weeks of nights." "I was directing and photographing." "I was lighting a quarter of a mile a night." "The fire department, once they got over the initial shock of doing a chase with one of their engines, were very cooperative." "I had great fun driving fire engines." "It gives you such a sense of power, being able to drive that thing with that siren." "Driving a fire truck - it's every kid's dream, isn't it?" "Raise the bridge?" "Right now?" "I had visions of the fire truck leaping the bridge when it's virtually up to its highest." "He had to do the jump at a very high speed, about as fast as that fire engine could go, about eighty miles an hour." "Fingers were crossed." "It flew across, and the suspension shattered when it landed the other side." "When I finished that I was on my knees." "It was a very tough shoot, actually." "Meanwhile, on October 6 and 7, the first unit sets San Francisco's City Hall ablaze." "When you go to a mayor or city officials and you say" ""By the way, we also want to set the City Hall on fire", that can cause quite a stir." "The trickiest part of the whole operation was convincing everybody up there that we could actually set fire to City Hall but not really - just make it look that way." "While they were setting up, I took a walk round." "It's a beautiful building." "And then they said "Well, yeah." "We're gonna set fire to it."" "We had a fire up there that you could literally turn on and off." "We put huge gas burners up there and what we call Dantes, which emit a huge amount of flame." "Everyone was convinced that the City Hall had burnt down." "People were convinced, there was so much fire coming from the roof." "You think "Oh, my God." "This is amazing."" "We were able to hose the front of the City Hall down." "She'd given instructions to close the windows." "One didn't, so he got a very wet desk the next morning." "While the first unit continues filming in San Francisco, the model unit films shots of Zorin's airship at the Golden Gate Bridge - in England, at Pinewood Studios." "We built some full-size pieces on the backlot of the Golden Gate Bridge." "We built sections of the bridge on a fairly large scale, four to one, with the balloon attached to it." "We built sections of the bridge on the lot, full-size." "We did sections on the stage." "It was a real jigsaw puzzle." "Physically, you can't shoot those angles." "They would have to build rigging for cameras that would be impossible." "So that was all reconstructed in the studio." "Probably about five per cent was on the Golden Gate Bridge, and the rest was on the replica of the top section." "But even so, in the studio we were up high." "Charles Staffell, the front projection expert at Pinewood, did a fantastic job." "He made a rig where he had the front projection machine suspended from the ceiling." "And we had Roger Moore and Tanya Roberts doing their stuff, where he's holding her by her fingertips, suspended over the traffic on the bridge." "There was no fear." "You were three feet off the ground instead of 300." "That was the section of the bridge we shot on the stage." "We also had a miniature bridge constructed on the lot." "And then there was full-scale of the North Tower, where the actual gondola hits." "I was part of the team, under John Richardson, who fabricated this whole half of the underside of this blimp, which we hung on a big crane." "That was more controllable." "You could bring in the cameras and the equipment, and get the actors up and get the actors off." "It took us two to three months to build fabricating steel, the underside of the blimp, which we then put polystyrene sections in." "Apart from that airship, we had some 20-footers that were always inflated and permanently hung from a crane." "We built a 40-foot-long one which we could fill with helium." "And then we also had some little four-foot ones for the more distant shots where you wanted a look as though there was an airship a long way away." "And all of that had to be integrated into the live shots that we had." "Editor Peter Davies mixes special effect shots, miniature shots and even shots of two stuntmen on this world-famous landmark to create this electrifying sequence." "It was amazing when it came together and it looked so real." "It was very gratifying for all concerned." "The crew at Pinewood begin to shoot interiors, including the special effect scenes of the burning elevator shaft." "That involves all of the usual problems of filming with fire, added to which you're in a natural funnel, being an elevator shaft, and all the hot air goes up." "Roger Moore came up to me and said, when he saw Tanya hanging by her bootstraps in the elevator shaft and the flames licking all round her, he said to me "Are you sure about this?"" "Cos it wouldn't look too good in the morning if something had happened." "I said "We're being very careful."" "Give me your hand." "There was a lot of hanging and a lot of smoke and a lot of heat, and it took a long time." "I must say that Tanya was fantastic." "She was very, very brave." "Eventually the filmmakers shoot all they can on the other stages." "Now they need to build sets and get the final shots on the new 007 stage, which is still under construction." "We were trying to build a new set, a new stage was being built, but we were stopped because it was a repair to an existing building and the new rules demanded that we had to wait until the roof was in position." "We did what we could in postponing, shooting what we could before getting on to that sequence." "So I had to go to Cubby and say "Look, we've run out of sets."" ""There's nothing I can do." "The set will be finished in eight days." He said "Fine."" "It was a big set to build, so it was a fantastic effort on everyone's behalf." "On January 71985, after filming has already commenced inside it, a ceremony is held for the official reopening of the new 007 stage." "Pinewood proposed calling it "The Cubby Broccoli 007 Stage", in honour of Cubby and his long association with them and the film industry in England." "We invited the world's press." "And we had the cast of "A View to a Kill" out there." "It was a very exciting day." "Here we go." "This is it." "And I suppose it's nothing to do with Cubby's girth that it is being called "The Albert R Broccoli Stage"." "It's because of the size of his heart." "In mid-January work begins on the mine flood scenes, the final to be shot." "We had a full-size set that we flooded with tip tanks and hoses." "It was flooded with great force." "An enormous wall of water came down." "I had to be swept into a little hut." "It was unbelievably powerful, this current of water." "It swept me right past the hut." "I would put people on cables so you could pull them, and get that feeling that they were really being driven by the water." "On the set Grace Jones gets more than she bargained for." "I didn't warn Grace when the mine was flooded that I'd put in various sparking effects, which were supposed to be electrical cables hitting the water and arcing." "She screamed." "All the screams you hear are genuine." "She was convinced she was gonna be electrocuted." "And afterwards she said "You so-and-so."" ""You didn't warn me you'd fixed those things in."" "And I said "We got the reaction, didn't we?"" "After overcoming the obstacles of shooting in some of the world's most challenging locations, the filmmakers then return to San Francisco to premiere the film in true James Bond style." "I had a cheque for one hundred thousand and 007 dollars." "I made a jump from a helicopter, flew into City Hall and landed there, and gave the cheque to Roger Moore and then he gave it to Mayor Feinstein." "So it was quite a day." "With the film finished, Roger Moore makes a bittersweet decision." "When they start running out of actors old enough to look as though they could be knocked down by Bond and leading ladies... are your mother's age when you started making Bond, then it's time you move on." "Roger felt, more than anyone else, that the time had come to gracefully say... bye-bye." "I think that it was Roger's decision." "It was not Cubby's or MGM/UA's or anyone else." "It was Roger who said "I think I've had enough."" ""I think this is the end of the road." "Let's part friends."" "He'd been saying for some time" ""I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to be doing this James Bond stuff."" "He was well over 50 at the time, and he was looking forward to us recasting." ""A View to a Kill" becomes one of the biggest box-office hits of 1985 and marks the end of an era for one of the screen's most popular 007 s." "I think Roger is the great man of the Bonds." "He'd walk on the set and just do it." "Roger keeps the atmosphere very relaxed." "Whenever he walked on the set, the whole crew would be lifted because he was just a carefree guy." " He was a pleasure to work with." " He had a great sense of humour." "A lot of charm." "One of the best-liked comedians in the world." "He was a great Bond." "My name is Bond." "James Bond." "Oi, what's your bleedin' game, guv'nor?" "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "Welcome to the sound of James Bond." "Music by John Barry." "The voice" " Shirley Bassey." "The sound - pure gold." "The Bond sound is the sound of John Barry." "From his orchestration of "The James Bond Theme" in 1962," "John Barry has left his mark on the world of Bond and the world of music." "From sweeping strings to throbbing horns to driving bass lines, the sound of 007 is instantly recognisable, immediately thrilling and always indelible." "For nearly four decades, a dozen composers, over 20 vocalists and millions of fans have kept the Bond sound alive." "And it starts with a composer named Monty Norman in the Caribbean." "I got involved with "Dr No" because of a 10 or 12 week trip to Jamaica." "On location, composer Monty Norman decides to use local musicians for much of the score." "He turns to Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, who were helping to define a new sound for Jamaican music." "They realised right away how brilliant he was in capturing the sound of our island music." "Monty Norman quickly becomes aware of the latest Jamaican dance craze." "They were doing this thing called the Jump Up." "Atlantic Records decides to release Byron Lee's recording as a single." "The minute that came out, it was associated with the film." "Soon the first Bond song becomes a hit in the Caribbean." "For the second Bond film the producers turn to John Barry, who will eventually score an amazing 11 Bond films." "You couldn't have been on a more successful kick than Bond." "The term Bondesque and Barryesque gets used in music criticism a lot." "Working with Lionel Bart's theme for "From Russia with Love"," "Barry creates a lush, sexy score." "Music is of the essence, and John made an enormous contribution." "For "Goldfinger" Barry returns, proving he has the Midas touch." "Everything that John did kind of defined what spy music should be." "For the title song Barry turns to a singer with a golden voice," "Shirley Bassey." "I heard that..." "She was the ideal person for a Bond song." "I said "I don't care what the words are." "I'll do it."" "It's great to write for Shirley." "She reads the lyrics so well." "I had this restricting bustier on, and so I went and let it all hang out." "She would go to great lengths to get the right mood." "And I felt much more comfortable." "I remember she was discarding clothes ad lib." "And then came the end with that note, and I was holding it and holding it." "And I was looking at John." "I was going blue in the face and he was going..." ""Hold it just one more second."" "And when it finished, I nearly passed out." "The soundtrack album went to number one in about three weeks." "It was the first and it was the biggest hit I ever had." "The sound of James Bond is as unique as it is ubiquitous." "It was a highly styled thing." ""You Only Live Twice" I remember most." "It was the first one that I ever saw." "It was all sort of exotic and intriguing and delicious." "I tried to go with the elegance of the Oriental feel." "I tried to intertwine that into the story." "Sixties pop sensation Nancy Sinatra lends her voice to "You Only Live Twice"." "Cubby was a big friend of Frank Sinatra's." "Nancy had had a couple of big hits." "They wanted my sound." "It was one of the scariest times of my whole life." "There was 20, 25 photographers and press people in the studio, which is an impossible way to record." "It's the most beautiful of the Bond songs." "I think I would think that if I didn't do it." "On Her Majesty's Secret Service introduces a new James Bond, and John Barry introduces a new Bond sound." "The thing about "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is that it's an absolute killer tune." "To create the score, Barry combines synthesizers with alpine horns." "For the film John Barry composes a timeless ballad." "All the Time in the World." "One of the most beautiful songs ever written, probably." "Barry brings in Hal David to write the lyric." "I said "Do you know who I think should really do it?" "Louis Armstrong."" "Armstrong was just out of hospital." "He'd been in hospital for a year." "My father had a theatre and a huge ballroom in York called the Casino Ballroom, and Armstrong came and performed." "It was wonderful to be able to finally record with him." "This was the last record he did." "Who are you?" "My name is Bond." "James Bond." "For Sean Connery's last outing as Bond," "John Barry creates a lush Las Vegas sound." "The combination of John Barry's music and Shirley Bassey's voice proves potent." "It was a song for my heart, because I love diamonds, you know." "If I sang it, you wouldn't be moved at all." "But with her you get goose bumps." "When something works, it works." "It was a natural for Shirley." "In my opinion, Shirley Bassey should sing 'em all." "Of course, other great composers have made their contribution to the Bond films." "For Roger Moore's first Bond film the producers turn to legendary Beatles producer George Martin." "I loved the "Live and Let Die" score." "And George Martin turns to his friends Paul and Linda McCartney to write the title song." "Barry returns for The Man with the Golden Gun, adjusting his sound for Roger Moore's Bond." "John Barry is one of the great screen composers." "Roger played the whole character much lighter." "Marvin Hamlisch steps up to the composer's podium for "The Spy Who Loved Me"." "John Barry couldn't do this film." "So they started looking for other composers, and somehow my name came up." "Marvin Hamlisch was a great performer as well as a composer." "At that time the Bee Gees were the hottest thing going." "And I loved the Bee Gees." "I still love the Bee Gees." "And I took, basically, a Bee Gee kind of rhythmic feel." "Most of it is very well taken from what had been done before, which had been brilliant." "The title "The Spy Who Loved Me" does not inspire a song." "But Mozart does." "Everything is bigger than life on a Bond film." "So I went right to Mozart." "That's all I was doing most of the day - working with Carole Sager." "And she finally came up with this great phrase "Nobody does it better."" "When I was a child, I was asked what I wanted to be." "My first choice was a spy." "It was my dream to sing a song for a movie in the first place, and in the second place a James Bond movie made the whole thing score higher." "The voice of Shirley Bassey does more to define the James Bond sound than any other." "In 1979 Bassey returns to Bond with "Moonraker"." "Shirley fits so well in with that whole Bond style." "I did it for John Barry." "She opens her mouth and this sound comes out and you go "Wow"." "Bill Conti, the Oscar-nominated composer for "Rocky", scores 1981's "For Your Eyes Only"." "John Barry recommended me to Cubby Broccoli." "This is a very, very talented conductor." "We felt that he could give us the closest thing we'd get to John Barry." "You gotta follow the movie." "The film goes left, the music turns left." "He incorporated a lot of the John Barry feel about the score." "The film introduces Scottish singer Sheena Easton to the world of James Bond." "Some of the greatest singers had done the Bond themes, and it was always something that you think "Oh, wow."" "It's a great honour to be asked to do it." "Sheena sung it and it was successfully nominated for an Academy Award." "I came back on "Octopussy" and I kind of..." "Being away from it for a while was good." "John Barry stamped his mark on the series in an incredible way." "It's a Bond thing." "The biggest series in the history of the movie industry." "Jonathan Taylor came to us and was very interested in doing a Bond film." "John Taylor was a massive John Barry fan." "John Taylor knew everything about every Bond movie imaginable." "Nick had a keyboard with him." "He was playing some chords." "I said "Hang on to that idea." "It's really good."" "And I literally started singing the tune." "We recorded just the group first." "And then I went in and put the orchestra on top of that track." "It was the last song we ever wrote before the band split up." "For "The Living Daylights" a new James Bond once again gives John Barry a chance to introduce a new Bond sound." "I thought the synthesizer bass gave the movie a new feel." "Michael Kamen composes the score for 1989's "Licence to Kill"." "I had just finished a bunch of action adventure scores." "The call came. "They want to talk to you."" ""Yeah, I'm writing a James Bond movie!"" ""La Femme Nikita's" composer, Eric Serra, helps introduce audiences to Pierce Brosnan as James Bond." "I like Eric Serra." "He's terrific." "And I like a lot about what he did with "GoldenEye"." "Eric Serra brings the Bond sound into the '90s." "But a new composer takes 007 into the 21st century." "I was in George Martin's recording studio in England, doing some recording." "And George came in and he said" ""Do you know David Arnold's doing the next Bond movie?"" "I'd heard some of his stuff - and he's doing this Bond album." "I don't know if John was flattered that I was spending two years of my life recording his songs." "I called Barbara Broccoli up and I said" ""This guy, you've got to use him on the Bond movies." "He's got it down..."" "There is a way forward with Bond music." "He did a great job." "When I do the score for a film," "I need to have an overview about what it is." "And on "Tomorrow Never Dies" I felt like the first third of the movie was "Bond is back", so we used the more old-fashioned style music." "The second part we're in Germany, we're more techno-driven." "In the last third we're in the Far East, so everything is driven by these peculiar Chinese percussion instruments." "The orchestras are incredibly proud of what they do with the movies." "Derek Watkins, who's our principal trumpet player, has played on every Bond score since "Dr No"." "On "Tomorrow Never Dies" I said to him" ""There's a bit on 'Thunderball' where the trumpets make this sound." "Can you...?"" "He said "That was me."" "So the first one, I used quite a traditional approach, just with an orchestra." "The second one we used lots of electronics." "The World Is Not Enough has a lot more electronics in the score." "I wanted to signal to people:" "This won't be quite what you expect." "No Bond film is complete without the one piece of music which carries James Bond's name:" "The James Bond Theme." "When James Bond does something kind of James Bondesque, there's only one piece of music you can play." "You can't ever be afraid of using it." "Without that, you have an action movie." "You don't have a Bond movie." "Of course James Bond is too big for just one piece of theme music." "In 1963 John Barry composes The 007 Theme, which appears in five James Bond films." "Yet it is "The James Bond Theme" which continues to be as fresh and bold now as the day guitarist Vic Flick first played it." "It was this guitar with thick strings, so you got a real... sound, which is the sound." "Vic Flick was the guitarist with the Seven." "He was a terrific guitarist." "You could play this like... and it wouldn't mean much, but if you get..." "We just recorded at EMI with lots of reverb, lots of echo." "There's something about that recording." "An urgency." "He sounded very fresh." "John did a definitive orchestration arrangement of "The Bond Theme"." "I reflect back on that whole period only with the happiest of memories." "It was one of the best musical film experiences of my career." "Gosh, I wish I could do another one." "You do pinch yourself and think "My God, I'm working on this."" "They were a lot of fun." "They really were." "In a thousand years' time they'll be playing that stuff." "I was very happy and proud to be associated with it."
