That with just this pair of big screen outings, Jaws and his metal keyboard dental work made such an indelible print on the memories of fans and the rest of a cinematic generation, is testament to both the screenwriters and Richard Kiel's distinctive presence. So popular was this elongated assassin that actor Richard Kiel was asked back for Moonraker to face his Nemesis once more.
But this time around Jaws went soft, and changed sides. So what happened? Well, as in all good stories, it was the simply the love of a good woman. Jaws as we're used to seeing him - in the clutches of James Bond, and not friendly ones. He has to, to save the woman he cares about. I thought he was just a gun and some teeth. I was moved. So the producers found him a mere six-footer but it turned out, as Kiel told it straightforwardly and apparently without taking offence, the actress was too scared of him to stand there without shaking β so the American actor ended up suggesting it be a tiny woman Jaws falls in love with.
