A View To A Kill
Roger Moore’s final role as James Bond in this white-knuckle spy thriller contributes fun, beauty, and deadly charm. Bond challenges Max Zorin (Christopher Walken), a power-mad industrialist who has planned to corner the world’s microchip sector, even though he has to sacrifice millions to do so. But before Bond can save the fool, he must face Zorin’s stunning, deadly companion, May Day (Grace Jones).

If the James Bond series shows Octopussy and The Living Daylights trying to show off alongside the initial Indiana Jones trilogy, License to Kill, Timothy Dalton’s second and final installment is “Bond does Miami. Vice and competes with Lethal Weapon and Die Hard.” While not quite a flop, it only earned $34 million domestically and showed the longtime king of the mountain action movie struggling against Batman, Lethal Weapon 2, Indiana Jones, and the Last Crusade.
