Line 33:
** ''[[Diamonds Are Forever]]'' (1971) has [[Ho Yay|gay assassins]], James Bond in a moon buggy with flailing arms, Blofeld dressed as a woman, and missiles exploding due to [[Kill Sat|laser satellite]] with really [[Special Effect Failure|cheap and dated effects]].
** ''[[Live and Let Die (film)|Live and Let Die]]'' (1973). The sheer hilarity of watching Roger Moore as [[James Bond]] trying to infiltrate a soul food shack in ''1970's Harlem'' has to be experienced. Yaphet Kotto turning into a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float and then exploding, the weird sub-plot/theme involving voodoo and ''the'' Baron Samedi and the ridiculous alligator pit escape. Paradoxically, it has what may arguably be the best Bond Theme of all the films (by [[Paul McCartney]]) and a fantastic boat chase scene.
** ''[[Moonraker]]'' (1979). The movie where Roger Moore drives a gondola through Venice (complete with double-taking bird) and goes to space. Paradoxically however, it also has some of [[John Barry]]'s best work, impressive visuals (even the space scenes) and the film itself being fun camp.
** ''[[Octopussy]]'' (1983). [http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Bond.jpg Nothing else needs to be added, really.] It doesn't cross into any worse category due to the surprisingly solid plotline under all the cheese.
** ''[[A View to a Kill]]'' (1985). [[Duran Duran]]'s hit opening and [[Christopher Walken]]'s hammy performance as the [[Big Bad]] by and large make up for what's otherwise a schlock-laden production.
* The films of Godfrey Ho, or any of his aliases, particularly his later masterworks ''Honor & Glory'' and ''Undefeatable'', both starring Cynthia Rothrock. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxkr4wS7XqY The latter film] has [[Memetic Mutation|become something of a sensation]] of late.
* John Candy starred in ''quite a few'' movies with this trope during the '90s. Notable examples include ''[[Nothing but Trouble]]'' and ''Once Upon A Crime''.
