A View to a Kill Pre-Credit + Titles (1985)
Sound Mono
Letterbox
200ft Running time Over 10 Minutes
Back in the glory days of Super 8 there was little of the ‘Official’ films. Trailers and a behind the scenes film from Derann and a few others. Fast forward to when the German labs started printing and there were a number of pre-credit sequences available on Super 8 with or without titles. Mainly these were the later films and so the early Bond’s got left out. Thankfully this has now been corrected by Dorun Films releasing the absolutely fantastic A View To A Kill opening and full titles with my favourite Bond, Roger Moore.
The reel starts with the MGM lion logo then on to the gunbarrel sequence and then the snow chase filmed in Iceland. I do find it amazing how Bond doesn't drop the microchip as within seconds he is falling but I suppose he is Bond! This is followed by the full opening titles by Maurice Binder in his typical style for the Moore era. Roger pops up several times in animated form. The reel ends with the title card showing ‘James Bond will return.... On Super 8’.
This is an awesome reel. Fantastic picture quality and booming sound, turn the volume up. Colour is also excellent and the snow is pure white. Many will say this was Roger’s worst Bond film (as is true for most Bond’s actors last film). This maybe so but this was Roger’s swansong to 007 and this is an exciting pre-credit sequence and with one of the best Bond songs by Duran Duran together with a brilliant Maurice Binder title sequence. The whole reel is a fantastic watch and very sharp. So great to finally have this on Super 8. Thank you Dorun Films.
