Moonraker (1979)
At the end of The Spy Who Loved Me, after the credits, it said that "James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only". When Star Wars: A New Hope became a blockbuster, EON productions switched gears and on June 29, 1979, Moonraker was released in theaters. EON invested more money than any of their previous Bond adventures by a significant amount. The movie had the bad guy's laire being a space station, the abduction of space shuttles (something still in the testing stages during production), and the climatic battle being fought in open space with lasers. It also marked Bernard Lee's last appearance as M. It was also noteworthy for being one of the few times where the Henchman (in this case Jaws) appeared in more than one movie. ("Moonraker" flm, event)
