So , I just watched the James Bond movie Moonraker. The antagonist in the film , Hugo Drax comes across as some kind of science-fiction Hitler. He wanted to create a "perfect race" in space and "gas" the rest of mankind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGo748GqS9g quote:Hugo Drax speach. Did the producers have Hitler in mind when they created the Hugo Drax character ? Has anyone read the original novel by Fleming and was Hugo Drax a Nazi in the novel?

In the book he was just a straight up Nazi. E: Also Three Phase is wrong, Moonraker is a novel, not a short story collection.

To elaborate in the book they find him injured after a battle in WW2, and he's in a coma, and can't speak for a long time, and has amnesia. England finds him, and thinks that he's one of their guys, but in reality the amnesia is an act and he was a Nazi the whole time. His entire plan is to become a super successful business dude with military contracts, build a missile system for them, then use the missiles they paid for to blow up London. Because he's a Nazi.

James Bond. You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.

It's a good thing the space station had a radar jammer or else people with telescopes would be able to see it

This scene feels so out of place compared to the rest of the movie. Like it belongs in a french horror film or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PasdxEYHhMo

Sums up the movie rather nicely but you need the ridiculous pew pew sounds in the movie for the full effect.

In Like Flint was the superior version of this story, IMO.

Moonraker is actually one of the worst Bond movies They just rushed out a space movie to ride on the coattails of star wars success

We need the clip of bond snowboarding with a beach boys cover band playing. That was an impressive low.

Drax is the best supervillain out of all the Bond movies. I also love the soundtrack to Moonraker, and the fact that watching it makes me feel like I'm nine again.
