Tagline:	Moonraker Is Out Of This World
Favourite line:	"Jaws, Mr. Bond must be cold after his swim. Place him where he can be assured of warmth."

Considered by many to be the nadir in terms of quality in the Bond series, I personally feel that is a little harsh. Yeah, it's far from the best effort, but it is still entertaining enough.

This is the 'Bond in Space' edition, and follows Bonds attempts to get to the bottom of a stolen space shuttle. Of course, in the end, he discovers a plot to commit mankind to history and begin a whole new world with the chosen few, as Lonsdale's Drax intends to poison the world save for his elite army who are safely ensconced on a space station.

Jaws' last appearance, and a ridiculous space fight finish this one off.
Not great, but worth a watch nonetheless.
