I have it on good authority that "Moonraker" is the best Bond film,
EVAH!!  ;p

I despise this movie on principle that they made such a horrid
adaptation of Fleming's best novel. All they had to do was set the movie
story in the 1950s, same as the novel, and it would have been a great
movie. We don't need Bond In Space in, essentially, a remake of major
elements of You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me.

Why not set the movie in the 1950s? There's absolutely no continuity.
