Roger Moore dead at 89!

[Rev. Rye]

At the risk of pissing off the rest of you, Moore was the worst Bond ever.  Couldn't act, couldn't fight.  Craig is far and away the best and most accurate Bond of the post-Fleming adaptations.

Ahem.

Submitted for your approval, Roger Moore taking on Lee Motherfucking Marvin (all-around badass, decorated World War II veteran, everything John Wayne liked to pretend to be except maybe a perennial box office draw, and pretty strong leftist FWIW) for the movie Shout at the Devil.





Now, before you dismiss that as just a clip from a movie, apparently, during the filming of this movie, Lee Marvin accused him of looking like a wimp and picked a fight with him (my guess is he tried something the old "Just because he pushed you?" routine from The Dirty Dozen). By all accounts, Roger won that fight just as easily (perhaps even more so) as he did the movie fight. Lee Marvin's response: "The guy is built like granite. Nobody will ever underestimate him again".

As a side note, they became the best of friends afterward.


So, what was that about how Roger Moore couldn't fight?
