Live and Let Die (1973)

Actor: Clifton James

Sheriff J.W. Pepper

It's that one with that awesome boat chase on the Louisiana bayous where they run the boats up across land between the canals and the bad guys manage to to get one stuck in somebody's swimming pool!

He reprised the role in "The Man with the Golden Gun" as Sheriff Pepper on vacation who is none too happy to meet Mr. Bond again.

Spot on Steve
One last image of Sheriff J.W. Pepper "Clifton James" having great difficulty with his own handcuffs [Smile]

with "Roger Moore" looking on in the centre of the photo.

I always liked a certain amount of humor that was injected into those Roger Moore films. The latest two that hit the big screen over the last few years have become just a bit to serious [Frown]

"good effects and stunts though" [Smile]

Roger Moore is the best James Bond to me.
Long live Roger!...

Cheers

For me it was always neck and neck between Sean Connery and Roger Moore with Roger Moore pulling slightly ahead. The rest of them are fine but none stands out for me.

The Bond films are pure myth because real spies aren't glamorous people out in the field with multi-thousand dollar suits and multi-hundred thousand dollar cars: just the scruffy guy sitting on the corner reading the paper and just watching a doorway, or the ordinary secretary at a government job being a little too busy at the copy machine when nobody else is paying attention. The moment they become the guy who walks into the casino and everybody turns to look at them the gig is up!

However, most real spies would be boring on screen, so for his purpose Mr. Bond is exactly what he should be.

It's Lazenby for me all the way, I liked his one liners throughout OHMSS.

In the boat chase scene in Live and Let Die a world record was achieved for the longest boat jump; It was listed in The Guinness Book or World Records.
