I'd stumbled across this article (dated 2002) on CBn a few times and thought I'd update it with a discussion thread for those who have missed it. With that, Rory Couper's:

Interesting article. When I first saw LIVE AND LET DIE, the presence of Baron Samedi at the end scared me (I was a kid at the time). But whenever I see it now, there is something about his prescene at the end that made the movie very unique.
"I am now aiming precisely at your groin. So speak or forever hold your piece."

I too was a child the first time I saw it (not too young though), and it is strange but the creepiness stayed with me for sometime. When I see it now though I don't know whether to laugh, though there is something stopping me. |

The Baron Samedi at the back of the train situation really was strange. Supernatural elements in a Bond film are unheard of. It really made you think about what was going on in the film.

This was the only Bond film that I was a bit scared of watching when I was younger. All the voodoo scenes were very scary. Today I still prefer Live and Let Die to any other Moore Bond film, because of it's uniqueness. I would however almost kill to see Fleming original made the way it should be.

I watched LALD last weekend and i thoroughly enjoyed as i hadnt seen it for so long.
It has a dark storyline to it but it is filmed in a 'feel good factor' way. Also,because of the voodoo aspect of it there is always a hint of menace in it... It has climbed from 15th to 11th in my Bond list at the moment. "Tell me.... are you the famous Barry the Saint ?"

QUOTE Also,because of the voodoo aspect of it there is always a hint of menace in it... Voodoo associated with menace. That is a bit odd. I "I am now aiming precisely at your groin. So speak or forever hold your piece."
