Don't they know that Bond (Sean Connery) is bulletproof?
Outland's biggest flaw is that Io would be almost impossible to colonise. It has huge variations in temperature, it doesn't have a stable surface and is the most volcanically active body in our solarsystem, it has a thin toxic atmosphere and its ionizing radiation would be instantly lethal.
Gotta cut them some slack tho. The movie was made in 1981 and they were probably more interested in re-creating High Noon in space. :p
