His daring exploits lead him on a number of incredible chases. As the sexy Solitaire, a young Jane Seymour makes for one of the more memorable Bond girls, and the always captivating Yaphett Kotto delivers an excellent performance as one of the more grounded (and, as such, arguably more chilling) villains of the series. The film’s theme song, Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die,” is one of the highlights of the entire Bond music canon and a classic in its own right. [More]

    Roger Moore's inauspicious screen debut as 007. He had big shoes to fill with Connery gone, and this first of his long series of Bond associations proved less than promising.

    Live and Let Die is not only a terrible James Bond flick, it's a terrible movie period.

    One of the last great, funky James Bond films before the eighties brought us a tamer, more plastic Bond.

    Great stunts and a cool theme song, but the Harlem scenes aren't quite superfly enough for me.

    The only thing about Live and Let Die to weather the test of time is its title song.
