Okay, we've got some anti-theist imbeciles on this board, so I'm going to make this really easy. Of those of you who saw the James Bond movie "Moonraker" in a theater back in 1979, or on television in the 1980s, do you remember the scene in which Jaws and Dolly meet, and she smiles at him? Do you remember Dolly having braces on her teeth, or not? This isn't about who is right and who is wrong. This is only about what you remember. You can vote anonymously, or elaborate if you like.

I don't remember the scene enough to have a definitive view...
I know the scene would make a helluva lot more sense if she did have braces.
We might have to chalk this one up to the shitty (even tho we didn't think it at the time) video quality of VHS..
....like C3PO's silver leg that nobody remembered until high-def.

The Jaws scenes always made me wonder about the rules regarding actor pay.
At the time, I was always told that an actor in a movie or TV show would not get credit in the union unless he had two lines, which never seemed to make sense, since many action actors do their best acting in scenes with no lines, like expressions and body movements when facing a crocodile in the water, or sweating in the desert.
I believe Jaws had that one line when he made a toast, and I wondered if that was intentionally kept at one line, or at a certain length, for some requirement to be over or under the needed criteria for the credit.
It was something that Kiel probably faced a lot in his career of "no line" and "one line or two line" performances.

But Richard Kiel was billed 4th in the credits for "Moonraker" and the same for playing the character in "The Spy Who Loved Me" even though he had no lines at all in that earlier movie. He would have had this in his contract as one of the principal cast members, with or without dialogue. Think of Alan Arkin in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter"...he was the star and had no spoken words. I think you must be thinking of the "under-five" rule about extras. Less than 50 words in five lines of dialogue allows payment at a day union rate.

Richard Kiel appealed to Robert Conrad on "The Wild Wild West" for a line of dialogue, and Conrad got it got him. It was worked into the story very well I thought. Cannot remember the episode title.

Thank you, I knew there must be a reason for me thinking she had braces. She must have visited a dentist to have them removed before blasting off into space.

Actually no....as this is the first time I have seen this scene altered from the original to add braces.

That is the entire point of their attraction. A metallic smile. They had that in common.
Anything else, is mundane.

The Herald Erjen , I am going to start one of these on the Film General board regarding Lethal Weapon, because it has bugged me ever since I saw it at the cinema. My compliments to you, sir. In the last couple of years I've found very few willing to talk about the Mandela Effect in films or in real life. Maybe I'll drop in. I saw "Lethal Weapon" on television and "Lethal Weapon 2" in the cinema.

Do we know for a FACT that those that made the video showing Dolly WITHOUT braces just DIDN'T digitally REMOVE them? I say get an original VHS copy to FIND the TRUTH about Dolly's braces OR no braces. UNLESS I see it on VHS I don't know which one to believe!
