One scene in particular had me in stitches when the fight at the end breaks out and Jackie Chan takes the lead doing his Kung Fu. The camera cuts to Roger as he is watching Jackie he and does some hand movements and nods as if to say to himself "I get the gist of it. I can perform those moves. Simple enough." Ha ha. It still has me laughing 35 years on. What other moments made you the audience laugh, because there are some great ones for sure.

Yeah, Moore stole the movie, in my eyes. His entire arc and character are so meta I'm still not sure if Moore was playing himself, if he was playing Bond or if he was playing a lunatic who was playing Moore who was playing Bond
About the character, wikipedia mentions:
Roger Moore plays "heir to the Goldfarb Girdles fortune", Seymour Goldfarb, Jr., who perpetually identifies himself as actor Roger Moore and signs into the race under that name. His character behaves similarly to James Bond and only once (by his mother) is called by his real name. He drives a silver Aston Martin DB5.
