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 Hervé 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

There is something very surreal about James Bond circa 1971-1974. More than any period of the series, when watching these films you feel like you are sucked into this imaginary spy fantasy funhouse. The Man With the Golden Gun literally starts off on a far remote island somewhere in Southeast Asia, and brings you into a psychotic funhouse full of mirrors, wax-made gangsters...and a golden gun. I won't go into the plot, because it's more fun just to watch the movie. But if you ever wanted Scooby Doo meets Dukes of Hazard meets Bruce Lee meets James Bond, the producers of this movie finally pulled it off. This movie is such a relic that would be nearly impossible to create today, and that is what I think is so magical about it. A few highlights: Roger Moore as James Bond is at his smoothest and most confident best. The legendary Christopher Lee is just so cool as the assassin villain. The small henchman Nick Nack adds a comic touch. Maud Adams is one of the best actresses of the series and she gives a really convincing performance in this. She rises above all the blank-faced, dim-witted eye candy characters of before and brings a character with some actual feeling. The locations are also really nice. A bit of a warning, this movie goes a bit over the top. Just read some of the negative reviews on this to know what I mean. But if you need a film of pure 1970's campy bliss to break from the gritty, hyper-realistic modern cinema world, this film is a thrill. I recommend it if you have already seen some of the other Bond films (Goldfinger, The Spy Who Love Me and From Russia With Love for starters)

I never get tired of James Bond 007. I am collecting every 007 dvd and look forward to having the time to watch all of them.
