One thing I never understood
Why the hell did Hip leave Bond? There was more than enough time for Bond to make it to the passenger seat.

Instead of running following one of the girls into the car, James Bond runs to the other side of the car. Probably because he's a gentleman and instinctively doesn't get in the same side as a lady as to not shove her out of the way.
As soon as Hip hears the doors slam, he guns the car assuming everyone is inside. By the time the girls yell at him that he's inside, the bad guys have already caught up and James is off on his own.
The girls were telling Hip that Bond wasn’t in the car, all he had to do was stop for a couple of seconds and wait for him to get in. I realize they just wanted a boat chase to happen but the characters had to act illogically for it to happen which is a huge problem
shareYes it was timed badly ... Watching these Roger Moore movies again you realize how less tight action scenes used to be. As in, it was far more obvious characters were reacting in a way because they're in a movie.
