MOONRAKER – Pre-Title Sequence DECODED!

Space shuttles! Airplanes! Parachutes! Skydiving! Circuses! Jaws! Explosions! Plans to kill Bond . . . and a beautiful woman! Can shuttles fly? Is Bond really on his last leg? Whatever happened to that leg?! All of this happens in the action-packed MOONRAKER pre-title sequence.

Join Dan, Tom and Vicky as we get a leg-up on this pre-title sequence! And Philip Latchford and John Cork weigh in too with us!

In this episode, we decode the following from the pre-title of MOONRAKER:

  • The use of the 747 and needed modifications
  • Why the shuttle couldn’t do what the movie shows
  • Bond on his last leg
  • Where did Jaws come from?
  • The great aerial stunts in this scene
  • How the 1969 movie THE GYPSY MOTHS likely inspired part of this pre-title sequence
  • A costume tie-in to real 18th century attire
  • And more …

We think the MOONRAKER pre-title sequence is a lot of fun and has some great stunts.
