Roger Moore's last Bond film. 1985. Director: John Glen.
Agent 003 has been killed in Siberia on a mission. Bond go there to get a very important microship that the agent took from a factory there. After an exiting ski chase, Bond leaves in a submarine to return to M.
Q explains that the microchip is an exact replica of a microchip that can survive a nuclear explosion which very few microchips do. The chip is made by Zorin Industries, own by the powerful man Max Zorin (Christopher Walken).
Bond, M, Q and Moneypenny attend at a horse race where Zorin's horse Pegasus is competing. Zorin is there too. Pegasus always win, just like this time. But a horse trainer, sir Godfrey Tibbett (Patrick Macnee), is sure that Pegasus is given some kind of drug, but the horse never get caught in any tests.
The detective Aubergine (Jean Rougerie) who's investigating Zorin, says that Zorin is having his annual horse auction. Then Aubergine is murdered by Zorin's bodyguard Mayday (Grace Jones). Bond chases her through Paris but fails and sees her and Zorin leave in a boat on the Seine.
He then attend at the horse auction, calling himself James St. John Smythe. Tibbett act as his chauffeur. Bond and Tibbett investigate and find a laboratory under ground in Pegasus's stable. The horse has a microchip in his leg which, when it's activated, gives the horse more energy. Not a drug, but it work's just like it.
Zorin is up to something much worse then winning horse races. He's planning to drown a whole valley in California to control the market of microchips. Bond is the only one who can stop him!
This would be the best Bond film easily, but sadly Roger Moore's age isn't good at all. It feels creepy when a 60 year old man is flirting with young girls and all that. Just wrong. Bond isn't suppose to be 60.
Zorin is the perfect villian! He's mad but looks normal enough to be super scary. Mayday might be a bit too odd, but it works. The Bond girl, Tracy Sutton (Tanya Roberts), is irritating defenceless, but very cute.
