**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...

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...

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 thi...

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...

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