The Worst Moment Of Every James Bond Film - Ranked

Moonraker is another dreadful Bond film and another one where, when picking the worst moments, you're spoiled for choice.

Still, this butchering of an iconic villain is the film's biggest crime. It just about beats out scenes like Corrine's unnecessarily brutal death, the cringe-worthy gondola scene and the godawful space station finale (which simply wasn't what James Bond should be).

In Moonraker, Jaws (Richard Kiel) falls in love. After narrowly surviving his encounter with Bond on a cable car, Jaws meets a much shorter woman named Dolly (Blanche Ravalec) and, with the Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet Overture playing comically in the background, they walk off holding hands.

This scene ruins a menacing and awesome villain by turning him into a complete joke, while this feels goofy and idiotic even for the Roger Moore era.

Later, he turns on main villain Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) and him and his new girlfriend escape back to earth together in a cheesy happy ending. This is all another painful reminder of Moonraker's woefully misguided focus on being a camp comedy rather than providing any actual thrills, which is what James Bond is supposed to be about.
