I've corrected this in other Bond articles, but Hiphats just changed it, so I wanted to discuss it here to clear up any confusion. Shirley Bassey performed four Bond themes, not three:
So, I'm going to revert it to my previous version. Please discuss here if you think my information is in error. — Frecklefoot 15:15, Apr 2, 2004 (UTC)
Okay, I do find references to Rita Coolidge performing the song, the reference I own (the Bond themes CD) says that Bassey performed it. If it was in fact Coolidge, it should be changed. — Frecklefoot 20:46, Apr 5, 2004 (UTC)
I do trust the IMDb but I am not in the habit of looking up soundtrack information on it. From now on, I'll use it for that as well. Thanks for providing the information. I'll go ahead and change the entries.
BTW, I was surprised the information on the CD was incorrect. After all, the rest of the song information it has was correct. :-) — Frecklefoot 14:07, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
It's been a while since I read it, but it seems to me that the female spy who helped Bond was from Scotland Yard, not the SIS. Can anyone verify, and correct before I check and do it myself? Dukeofomnium 16:51, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Drax had three lairs in the movie.
Okay, so how can it be mentioned that Jaws ends up with a woman without saying 'girlfriend' (not that I can see how it's not NPOV in the first place, but la)? I think it's worth a mention. Hig Hertenfleurst 20:54, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Honestly, as far as the movie goes, I don't think it's pertinent information. However, with that being said I do believe it should be mentioned on the Jaws (James Bond) article since it's a more indepth article on the character. K1Bond007 23:07, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
Sounds fair. In that case, I think that by extension, most of the information about Jaws' character changes should be lumped in the article about him and a pointer there be put in the triv section. Rather like this, in fact. ;-) Hig Hertenfleurst 01:33, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I reverted a sentence that implied Moonraker's cheating the cheater was somehow moved into "Octopussy". I don't really agree with this and in my edit summary I wrote down something completely different than probably what I should have. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway. Does anyone else believe the same way about the Moonraker-Octopussy connection? K1Bond007 17:09, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
"While the film is probably the most far fetched of any James Bond film, it is still also one of the most enjoyable James Bond films, being fast paced and funny."
Fast paced, okay. Funny and enjoyable, however, is not exactly what comes to my mind when I think of this movie. I do howver agree that the movie attempts to be funny.
Some people say that the first half of the movie is enjoyable...but that's not enough to make the statement in the entry a NPOV. :-)

If I remember correctly, at the end of the credits for The Spy Who Loved Me, it said "James Bond will return in For Your Eyes Only," NOT Moonraker. (This was when I saw it on HBO many years ago, it may have been changed for video. I was startled by it when I saw it.) This led me to believe that Moonraker was not originally planned to be the next film.
Anyone have the story behind this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jafafa Hots ( talk • contribs) .
Under the Trivia section is this statement:
In another film reference, the song "Nobody Does it Better" - the theme from the previous Bond film - The Spy Who Loved Me, is also reprised on the soundtrack when Bond arrives at Drax's mansion in California.
Is this really true? The particular cue of Bond arriving at Drax's chateau is missing from the soundtrack (though features on Nick Raine's Bond Back In Action tribute) and it must be rather subtle as I also miss it in the film. When I do an internet search on this claim this page is the only result that is returned.—This unsigned comment was added by Ayrshire--77 ( talk • contribs) .
Well just for the record I completely object to this. I don't know why I bother. 23skidoo 14:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I oppose splitting the article into separate film and novel articles, as well as a needless separate article for the novel. It works fine as a cohesive whole. If the decision is made to split the novelisation off, it needs to be sent to the title James Bond and Moonraker as this is the correct title of the work. 23skidoo 12:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I oppose splitting the article as well. In its current form, it's easy to compare the book and movie versions. It would not be as easy to do so were the article split into two sections. -- JKBrooks85 03:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
What is it on top of the clubs used by Drax' men in the space station?
The reference to the colloquial name, moonrakers , for Wiltshire people is out of place here, as it isn't in the book, so I've moved it to a new page [[[User:Xyl 54|Xyl 54]] 15:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)]

I look forward to seeing this article expanded and polished up. If you have any questions about this review, you can drop a line on my talk page. Awadewit | talk 21:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I propose that this article be moved to Moonraker (novel) to make it consistent with the rest of the novels as well as to separate it further from the article about the film. Emperor001 ( talk) 02:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
