That stunt with the crocodiles is still impressive

Probably even more so now because they'd just use CGI crocodiles now

I remember being taken to see this film in the cinema. Running across those crocs impressed me more than just about anything in the movie.

Edit: Only just found out that Moore's stuntman for that, Ross Kananga, died of a cardiac arrest while spearfishing in Collier County in the Everglades just five years later, aged 32!

So he was 27 in that Live and Let Die video? A lot of people really did age quickly back then. Roger Moore looked really good in LALD and TMWTGG considering he was mid-forties.

Dying at 32 is tragic.

The crocodile stunt was a highlight of this film. Of the Moore films I ranked this one 4th out of the 7 he did as Bond. L&L Die still has some charm to it.
