IN WHICH OUR HERO… On skis, is chased by a bunch of bad guys on skis
SETTING UP THE SCENE: Minutes after leaving the warm embrace of a comely double-agent, James Bond (Roger Moore) is chased down the side of an Austrian mountain by a team of killers on skis…
WHY IT’S SO GREAT: The cheesy rear-projection effects are more than made up for by the late Marvin Hamlisch’s disco-inflected version of John Barry’s iconic Bond theme music.
BEST PART: Bond, tumbling off the mountain, his fall arrested by a Union Jack parachute (2:05)
ANOTHER GREAT CHASE LIKE THIS ONE: A Roger Lazenby 007 pursued down a mountain in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
