    Live and Let Die is my favourite Bond film, and I agree - that last scene totally freaked me out when I first saw it as a young girl!

    Now I'm in my mid-40s, it still does!!! In fact, that whole film does!

    R.I.P. to an actor who certain made a lasting impact on so many lives.

    84, not 64, and yes, he was great in Bond. Sad.

    Richard Kiel a couple of weeks ago, now Geoffrey Holder. :( They say these things come in threes, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

    The end of Live and Let Die with Geoffrey sitting on the end of the train doing his maniacal laugh as McCartney's theme kicks in still freaks me out.

    Yeah, I always thought that was a realy cool ending, in keeping with the vibe of the film.

    L&LD was especially well blessed with effective villanous characters, both major and minor. Also, I loved the funeral scene and music;

    "whose funeral is it?"

    "Yours."

    :D

    RIP - except, is he really dead? Train drivers beware!

    Excellent actor, excellent baddie.
