How many Blofelds (NB not Bloferhausers) do you want in a movie? Put your finger on the DAF buttonā¦ touch it, stroke it and undress it. (Or maybe just press it)

Dolly is a love interest, not an āother villain.ā Wrong Deathmatch.

She is one of the most sinister characters in Moonraker. I mean, look at it. Thatās the face of evil.
With or without braces.
Must be evil as sheās the only notionally female character Uncle Rog doesnāt have a pop at. Ergo: baddie.

Okay. You win. I laughed out loud at my desk.

Andā¦ she is also indestructible, because how can she first survive all that fierce fight in the space station as the only one of the Drax people (after all, she also wears such a suit) and then that crash in that space thing back to earth survive, except for Jaws of course?

She sat in his lap with his arms wrapped around her. When the pod disintegrated in the atmosphere, his hulking frame survived, then it was just a matter of aiming for the nearest circus tent.

But she isnāt one of the Drax peopleāshe is a temporary concession Drax made to get Jaws on a shuttle. In fact, Dollyās non-inclusion is used by Bond to win Jaws over to his side. Dolly (along with Jaws) is destined for the airlock sooner or later, and probably sooner.

What I meant is because she also wears a Drax suit, she is one of the opponents for the Americans and there is a good chance that she would be shot immediately when she walks around among the others in the space station, but apparently she has survived everything.
Hmmā¦this actually raises some interesting questions. Why would Drax take Jaws up to the space station, let alone Dolly? Every seat on those shuttles should be accounted for, and Drax could reasonably assume at this point that heās whittled his universe down to a well-vetted list of loyal employees and breeding stock; thereās no reason to assume Bond or any other outsider could just waltz in the door at a height of 1200 miles, so who does he need protecting from? āRelocate to space stationā should be very close to the end of his to-do list and all the steps that called for killing snoopy investigators would have all been completed. Any attack would have to come from without, and heās got the laser cannon for that. Heck, every ounce of payload has to be accounted for on the shuttles, so why add a hugely heavy giant at the last second, plus his not-hot-enough-to-breed and not-skilled-enough-to-work love interest on top of that? Did Jaws inherit a shuttle seat originally set aside for Chang? Surely he weighs more than that guy did.
Come to think of it, there seems to be a security force on the station as well, armed with cattle prods or something, when again at this point everyone in the place is supposed to be on the same side. Does Drax suspect not everyoneās as into his little scheme as they claim to be? Does he expect a rebellion? Or are those prods just to keep the breeders going? (āGet back in there and do her again, you goldbrick!ā ZAP!). Is there a maternity ward up there somewhere, and obstetricians?
Oh dear, I canāt believe Iām finding chinks in the heretofore impeccable logic of Moonrakerās plot. This is practically an existential crisis for me.

Jaws is there so that when there is a construction error or another technical problem that no one can solve, he can simply bite it to pieces with his teeth, which is a bit easier than sending an expert - if he is still alive at that moment - from Earth to to get over the space station. Jaws had only one demand: his girl had to come on board as well.

Possibly. But what about a seat for Dolly? Did she sit on Jawsā lap?
Also, Dolly has a Drax uniform, but Jaws does not. In fact, only Drax and Jaws are sans uniform.
It could be that there was no uniform to fit Jaws, but if Jaws was a planned traveller, he was on the payroll long enough for Drax to order a uniform for him, which again points to Jaws being a spur-of-the-moment addition, with Dolly as a non-negotiable fellow traveler.
Or, like the dart gun that suddenly appears on Bondās wrist, it could be argued that Jaws is there because he must be for the narrative to proceed.

Thereās always room for hangers-on, if you look at the incoming Harkonnens.

Serves you right. As a Bond fan, you should have learned that itās not good when you ask too many questions 
Just for three seconds, imagine Jaws in that yellow jumpsuitā¦

Okay, I think itās clear why.
Could imagine that Richard Kiel had a clause in his contractā¦
