Jaws wasn’t so much a Bond villain as he was a henchman. But a fan favorite nonetheless!

Those late seventies/early eighties James Bond movies like Moonraker and A View to a Kill are, to this day, my favorites. I know many, if not most, Bond fans consider the movies during that period the worst of the series when it degenerated into the campy and absurd. But I still prefer them to the much more “serious” modern Bond movies...

He was a born-again Christian. He spoke at my sister’s church and she got to meet him. Said he was a lovely man.

I always remember Kiel as the Kanamit from the classic Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man”.

Jaws wasn’t so much a Bond villain as he was a henchman. IIRC, Jaws helped Bond in the end of Moonraker.

Moonraker never should have been made, but I liked the others from the late 70s and early 80s.

present day bond movies are just product placement vehicles with ho hum stories because they don’t want to actually do good vs evil.
