"Ohhh! And what do '''you''' do?" she asked.\\\

She pause, moved back a foot or two, looked me up and down, then announced, "You'll be very good. I know Creator/IanFleming, you know".\\\

** "One evening, I was volunteered to attend a function at a huge house just off the Grand Canal, in aid of the Save-Venice campaign. Creator/KenAdam offered to come with me. We eventually found the bar and soon realized that we were the youngest people there. We'd just taken a sip of our drinks when a white-haired old lady, in a very strangulated upper-class English country voice asked, "What are you doing here in Venice?"///
"We're making a film", I said///
"Oh, a fillum, eh? What sort of fillum?"///
"It's James Bond, 007"///
"Ohhh! And what do '''you''' do?" she asked.///
Ken was now snorting with laughter behind her back - I could have killed him.///
"Well, I sort of try to play James Bond", was my considered reply///
She pause, moved back a foot or two, looked me up and down, then announced, "You'll be very good. I know Creator/IanFleming, you know".///
I wonder if she knew he'd been dead fifteen years?

!!The Novel

* The Gondola chase scene, which has James piloting a hovercraft down the streets of Venice, to various {{Reaction Shot}}s, including a dog (with a "you gotta be kidding" expression), a pigeon (which double-takes... [[SpecialEffectsFailure poorly]]), and a waiter who pours his patron's drink down his back in shock. It also has two NoMoreForMe gags, with a smoker and a wino tourist.

* ''[[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4VlE_HTOuVA/UIvDJTsFa4I/AAAAAAAABQc/gFj2ZPihfLM/s800/MoonRaker1.gif The doubletaking pigeon]]'' in Venice; either for its hilariously bad editing or for the sheer silliness of it.

* Jaws flapping his arms trying to fly after tearing the ripcord off his parachute[[note]]He's actually trying to steer himself so that he'll land in the middle of the circus tent[[/note]].

* Upon arriving at the Drax residence, which is a French chateau brought to California brick by brick, Bond muses why he didn't buy the Eiffel Tower as well.

* Bond attempting to knee Jaws in the crotch aboard the station; the bewildered look on his face when he hears a ''metal clang'' is priceless.

* During his fight with Chang in the glass museum, Bond picks up a [[PricelessMingVase priceless glass vase]] that was [[ChekhovsGun prominently displayed earlier]]...and carefully puts it back when the motion sensor alarm goes off. And then it gets smashed by Chang anyway.

* "Bollinger. If It's '69, you were expecting me." BA-DUM-CRASH!

* Bond's intrusion on Goodhead in the middle of the night, after she offers him a drink:
-->'''Bond:''' Bollinger. If it's '69, you were expecting me.

** Bond in disguise as a gondolier and using a paddle to pull up to land on his canoe, after driving his previous canoe ''on land.'' This scene comes out of nowhere, but it's likely Bond had to ditch the other canoe and lay low for a while to avoid anymore henchmen.

-->'''Drax:''' James Bond. You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.

* Jaws' "You have got to be kidding me!" look on his face when Bond gets away on a hang glider.

-->'''Drax:''' You must excuse me, gentlemen. Not being English, I sometimes find your sense of humor rather difficult to follow.

* Jaws flapping his arms trying to fly after tearing the ripcord off his parachute.

** And when Bond and Jaws first catch sight of each other; Jaws grins and Bond tries to smile back, but it's more like an OhCrap grimace.

** And Jaws had shown up dressed as one of the giant clown performers, so he sort of stumbled onto the scene and had to take a massive clown head off. During the rest of the not-fight, he's left in a sort of purple gown, polka-dot pants, and white gloves.

* Jaws preparing to bite Manuela, only to find a bunch of Carnival celebrators coming down the alley at them. He immediately picks her up and begins smiling and swinging her around in a fake drunken dance as the rest of the mob joins in. In some of the long shots it looks like the actress playing Manuela is {{Corpsing}} while trying to look scared.
