    I don't think Dave was expecting Richard Kiel to be as articulate and sardonic as he was. It took Dave about two minutes to realize that this guy was someone that he could relate to. Wonderful guy. The gap in the teeth reference was genius. Dave didn't see that coming.

    Anyone else remember near the end of Moonraker a blond pigtailed girl helps Jaws out of a jam and then she smiles and you see she has braces on her teeth, and he smiles at seeing that and they walk off hand in hand, well apparently in the movie she didn't have braces at all, but me and a lot of other people remember she did. That was the joke of the scene. But so ive heard all versions on VHS and DVD don't show her with braces. It's like the "Mandela Effect"

    • @oldmoviesinbwwithsubtitles3501
    • @trekkiejunk
      @trekkiejunk Před 14 dny

      Except the Mandela effect claims that there was some shenanigans or altered reality going on to explain the discrepancy. But the real truth is that memory is faulty, and you just always remembered it wrong. There is no ''alternate version.'' You just remembered it wrong. For the record, i've seen Moonraker countless times, on VHS, DVD, BluRay, 80's TV, and even on old CAD discs. I never remember her as having braces.

    • @claireingles-sj6xz
      @claireingles-sj6xz Před 14 dny +1

      I totally remember! I was pretty young and it made a big (ha, ha) impression on me (I was less than 10). I was never really afraid of the "Jaws" character and I so wanted to be that girl with the braces. (why mom let dad show his two impressionable girls ALL the Bond movies at that age, I'll never know.) But then, I also remember the campfire "fart" scene they took out of Blazing Saddles and the movie "Song of the South" that seemed to disappear from Disney's movie list. Books and covers. Most people can never get past the "cover" part I guess.

Not just tall but all around enormous, his hands, his feet, head, everything. I said hello and he said hello back. Several people acknowledged him and he couldn’t have been nicer.

    Kiel was REALLY enjoying messing with Letterman. When breaking stereotypes breaks someone else's brain. Tbis is why I try not to judge people based on their physical appearance. There is so much more to anyone. Everyone. (watch Tracy Chapman's video of her song "Telling Stories" if you doubt the dangerousness of this practice. Anyway...) The space between the teeth joke was hilarious. I don't think Letterman even knew what hit him. Good for the guy with the big heart. ❤
