Moonraker

Parents need to know that Moonraker is a 1979 James Bond (Roger Moore) adventure movie that contains sexual innuendo, violence, and outdated misogynistic and stereotype portrayals. The plot follows Bond into space as he tries to stop the villainous Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) murder innocent people. Bond is heroic and shows great bravery. But the movie is dated: Women are frequently patronized by male characters and represented as little more than objects of desire, while non-White characters are similarly relegated to having relatively few lines and are often only seen wearing ceremonial or ethnic dress. Violence is frequent throughout, but not bloody or graphic. Typically it involves hand-to-hand combat, with punches and kicks. But there is some fighting with weapons -- one character is stabbed in the chest, but again there is no blood and his presumed death is over-the-top and cartoonish. Sex is mild and mainly innuendo, although there is some kissing and hugging. Bond does this with more than one woman. There is no swearing, but Bond -- and others -- does drink alcohol, but not to excess. Characters also smoke cigarettes. Bond lives a lavish lifestyle, frequently traveling to exotic locations, while he is also given several high-tech gadgets to help him work. Bond fanatics may enjoy a nostalgic revisiting of the movie, but those new to the franchise may find it dated and dull compared to more recent 007 outings.
