Bond's first stop is Harlem where he meets up with a notorious drug dealer known only as Mr. Big. But his travels don't stop there as he heads down south to New Orleans and a small Caribbean island to find Big's partner and a woman under his care known as Solitaire (Jane Seymour), who is forced to read tarot cards for the drug dealers.
Bond's adventure uncovers a dastardly drug plot that will culminate in a boat chase through the Louisiana bayous in a sequence that, quite frankly, left me quite insulted. When the movie introduces a local yokel sheriff, I couldn't believe my eyes. Now, the state police and other people from the area actually seemed to fit. But this character seemed to be more a stereotypical hillbilly cop (think Boss-Hog) type instead of a stereotypical southern Louisiana cop (which would have at least made more sense).
Like the rest of these Bond Blu-ray releases, this disc has quite a few special features. An interactive guide to the world of Live and Let Die, a featurette from 1964 about Roger Moore as James Bond, commentary with Roger Moore, Director Guy Hamilton and the screenwriter as well as a slew of trailers, photos and TV spots. One of the more interesting features I found were the documentaries that were from that time like "On Set with Roger Moore." This is definitely a great purchase for any collectors out there, especially considering the image and audio quality that comes with the Blu-ray.
