Relying heavily on stock footage and a partially completed Philippine film, Al Adamson came up with a movie that is certainly a competitor for the "10 Worst Movies" list.

This is the eighth agent 007 film, but it is the first with Roger Moore in the starring role. In this installment, James Bond is on the trail of a Caribbean-based drug dealer.

It's not up to the standards of the others, though, except for the title song by Paul McCartney.
