Is _The Spy Who Loved Me_ peak Bond? It’s gotta be up there, certainly my favorite of the Roger Moore Bonds. It’s got everything, great action setpieces, a great car chase, memorable villains (Jaws, more so than the main baddie Stromberg), the wonderful ski/base jump intro scene, the exotic settings… I think this one rounds out my top 3 with _Goldfinger_ and _From Russia With Love_
I love that Lotus Esprit Turbo most of all, it steals the scene every time it’s on camera!

These are awesome. I love the miniature work.
I wonder why they are using a lotus as a filming rig to film the other lotus? You would figure it would be more practical to use a larger car/truck for the cameras.
