Excellent Bond film.

Superior Bond film with Christopher Lee as an assassin who sets his sights on Sir Roger Moore. Big mistake!

A fast moving entry from Guy Hamilton that has lovely locations, incredible stunts - (The car flip has yet to be bettered) sexy ladies, a great theme tune, the return of the hilarious Sheriff J W Pepper and of course the legendary Sir Roger Moore as James Bond.

If only the bland 2006 reboot were as entertaining.

“The plane, the plane”

Hervé Villechaize is on hand as Scaramanga’s little assistant, Nick Nack.

“The Man with the Golden Gun” (1974) was Moore’s second outing as Bond. He did 7 films for the franchise in 13 y...

You get as much pleasure out of killing as I do, so why don't you admit it?

It stars Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, Maud Adams, Herve Villechaize, Soon-Taik-Oh, Richard Loo and Clifton James. Music is scored by John Barry and cinematography by Ted Moore & Oswald Morris.

Bond 9 and 007 is distracted from his purs...

Sometimes a film is more than just what you see on the screen. I will always recall this fondly as it was the first film I ever saw in a cinema that wasn't a cartoon - and I really enjoyed it. This time "007" receives a rather intriguing golden bullet through the post. After some detective work he concludes that he is a target of he eponymous character - "Scaramanger" (Christopher Lee) who charges $1m per hit. Why, though? Off to Hong Kong he goes, and soon his own dan...

I write this with the understanding that I am not supposed to like it. It's one of the movies that, in serious Bond fandom, you aren't supposed to like.

And, that is because, yeah, the script sort of really sucks... and I'm not going to defend it. They could have done a far better job.

However, it's still a fun movie. It's Moore era silly Bond and one of the big reasons people don't like this is because the Moore Era silliness went a little bit too far di...

This was an unfinished work by Ian Fleming. So there was even more leeway than usual. However, that matters little to a viewer. This 007 film is very different than any others, because Bond doesn't battle a big organizaiton. He's battling basically one man, the man with the golden gun. The "golden gun" of Christopher Lee is a specially made weapon, and Bond is told he is to be a victim of this assassin. He later learns he wasn't intended to be the victim. Meanwhile, he d...

The Man with the Golden Gun isn't generally considered to be a good film but I enjoy it despite its many flaws.
