Turtles in Movies   For Your Eyes Only (1981)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.   This is the fifth Roger Moore Bond film and it's an odd one because there aren't a lot of gadgets or crazy-looking villains or henchmen with razorblade hats or metal teeth. The bad guys just look normal. But as they always do, they keep trying to kill Bond in very stupid ways - chasing him with motorcycles when he is skiing, tying him up and dragging him from a boat so sharks will eat him, and even trying to kill him in an ice-skating rink with hockey players. They do everything but simply shoot him when they have the chance, which is very often. There aren't a lot of dangerous animals or sharks with laser beams on their heads to threaten Bond with in the movie either, though a man is killed by sharks when he falls off a boat, which isn't unusual. There is also a brief scene that shows a sea turtle. Bond's romantic interest in the movie is a young Greek/English woman named Melina (Carole Bouquet). She took over her father's underwater salvage boat after he and her mother were machine-gunned by the bad guys. Bond goes to Greece to see if Melina can use her father's ship to help him find the wreckage of a secret British spy boat that sunk with valuable missle-launching technology that, if it fell into the enemy's hands, could destroy the world. We see Bond scuba diving through some four-thousand-year-old ruins when he is startled by a sea turtle. As the turtle rises up out of the camera's view it exposes Melina vacuuming the floor of the ancient temple. They then swim up to the boat. That's it. Blink and you will miss the turtle. But it's a herp in a Bond movie, so it's gotta be on the list.
