| Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com The British superspy with a license to kill takes on his dark underworld double, a classy assassin who kills with golden bullets at $1 million a hit. Roger Moore, in his second outing as James Bond, meets Christopher Lee's Scaramanga, one of the most magnetic villains in the entire series, in this entertaining but rather wan entry in the 007 sweepstakes. Bond's globetrotting search takes him to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and finally China, where Scaramanga turns his island retreat into a twisted theme park for a deadly game of wits between the gunmen, moderated by Scaramanga's diminutive man Friday Nick Nack (Fantasy Island's Herve Villechaize). Britt Ekland does her best as the most embarrassingly inept Bond girl in 007 history, a clumsy, dim agent named Mary Goodnight who looks fetching in a bikini, while Maud Adams is Scaramanga's tough but haunted lover and assistant (she returns to the series as the title character in Octopussy). Clifton James, the redneck sheriff from Live and Let Die, makes an embarrassing and ill-advised appearance as a racist tourist who briefly teams up with 007 in what is otherwise the film's highlight, a high-energy chase through the crowded streets of Bangkok that climaxes with a breathtaking midair corkscrew jump. Bond and company are let down by a lazy script, but Moore balances the overplayed humor with a steely performance and Lee's charm and enthusiasm makes Scaramanga a cool, deadly, and thoroughly enchanting adversary. --Sean Axmaker Product Description The debonair 007 is assigned to recover a valuable piece of technical equipment that is capable of harnessing the suns energy.

Customer Reviews: Read 143 more reviews... 2 stars out of 4 December 27, 2008One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor) The Bottom Line: Easily one of the weakest Bonds, The Man with the Golden Gun features a terrible sidekick, a boring villain whose only desire seems to be killing Bond (not any lofty or megalomaniacal goal), a dumb conclusion, dumb women and the sorely-unanticipated return of J.W. Pepper: pick almost any other outing by any of the actors instead of this turkey.  One of the true James Bond Classics. A Must have in your collection. 5 thumbs up!!! November 11, 2008Betty Leung (California,USA) The Scenes for Hai Fat's estate actually takes place in ASCAP Finalist Composer, C. KENNETH LEE's Great Grandfather, Lee Lu Cheung's Historical site and villa, DRAGON GARDEN, HONG KONG Check IMDB for proof.  When you want a Bond movie really bad ... September 23, 2008L. Cabos (planet earth) This is a weird film. A reviewer once said of TMWTGG it was as if it were made by someone who had never actually seen a Bond film but had had one described to him by a very excited person. This was the last one with Broccoli & Saltzman on the credits. (Their relationship had deteoriated to the point where they rotated principal producing responsibilities -- Saltzman primarily responsible for LIVE AND LET DIE, as well as the selection of Roger Moore to succeed Sean Connery and Broccoli on GOLDEN GUN. Sean Connery once described Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman as "Two guys seating across a desk from each other and each one thinking, 'That bugger's got half of what should all be mine.'") This film represents another attempt to put Moore in the Connery mold -- smacking Maude Adams and twisting her arm. Of course at a crucial moment in a boat chase through the klongs of Bangkok who should appear on vacation? But of course, Sheriff J.W. Pepper (New York actor Clifton James) from LIVE AND LET DIE. "I know you! You're that agent, that English secret agent from England!" They don't write dialog like that anymore. There's Herve ("the plane!") Villechese as Nick Nack, Britt Ecklund as the lovely but incompetent Mary Goodnight. On the positive front an extremely effective performance by Christopher Lee as Francisco "Pistols" Scaramanga. A Good James Bond Movie August 30, 2008PutPut (CT) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is a good James Bond movie. I like it because it is a lot of fun. In a world of so much stress it is good to sit down and relax and watch an uplifting movie like this. We all know who James Bond is or we just know what he's all about. This movie plays off the James Bond mystique and just has a good time with it. The result is very enjoyable. Man with the Golden Gun May 30, 2008Virginia L. Gilbert (Nampa, Idaho USA) The product cam quickly and as advertised. Thanks. Movie is great- we are completing our series in DVD. | |||||||||||
