Product description The Man With the Golden Gun desertcart.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 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 Review: One of the favorites - Classic 007 Bond movie Review: Great Film - Roger Moore was great as Bond. Christopher Lee makes a great villain.

The world's greatest villains tried to kill James Bond. Now it's Scaramanga's turn to try
I first saw "The Man With The Golden Gun" in the theater with my brother Pat, when it was first released at Christmas 1974. I was 18 at the time. Well, I'm 67 now and I got it on DVD and appreciate it more than ever. Roger Moore's second go round as James Bond. The great Christopher Lee plays "Scaramanga," the worlds' most notorious hit man. He always uses a fantastic golden pistol with golden bullets. He is one of the best Bond villains ever. The lovely Britt Ekland is the Bond girl Miss Goodnight. The lovely Maud Adams is Scaramanga's woman, Andrea. Clifton James has a funny cameo as J.W. Pepper. Bernard Lee is back as "M, Lois Maxwell is back as his secretary Miss Moneypenny" and Desmond Llewelyn is back a "Q." Director Guy Hamilton does a really good job as he did with "Live and Let Die," the previous year. Composer John Barry does another fine job and Lulu sings the title theme song. Features beautiful locales in the Far East and some fantastic car stunts with AMC cars. My Dad drove a few of those. They stop making them back in the '80's. The taglines for the movie posters read... "The Man With The Golden Gun is ready to assassinate James Bond" and "He never misses a target, and now his target is 007" and "The world's greatest villains tried to kill James Bond. Now it's Scaramanga's turn to try"

Great movie....brings back childhood memories!!!!
I first watched this when I was 6 years old, then once more...but I was not mature enough to understand what was going on. I finally watched it at age 35. Back when I was young, I loved the car that transforms into an airplane, car chases, the gun fights...and the terrific underscore. A great movie, even in DVD format, the sound and picture quality are outstanding.

This is not the best Bond film ever, nor even Roger Moore's best contribution to the franchise, but it's fun in a 'it was all right in the 70s' way. Christopher Lee as Scaramanga is one of my favourite Bond villains, and Hervé Villechaize's diminutive Nick Nack is certainly a memorable henchman. The Thai and Hongkong filming locations are glorious and exotic. Maud Adams, who would later star in the title role in Octopussy, appears as Andrea Anders, and Swedish lovely with huge baby blues Britt Eklund is main Bond girl Mary Goodnight. Fun is Clifton James's hilarious cameo as the irate sheriff J.W. Pepper (a huge fan favourite from Live and Let Die). Also worth mentioning is the chase with the barrel roll stunt of the car and the title song performed by Lulu. The two-disc Ultimate Edition DVD I purchased has a beautifully restored picture and very good sound quality. There are English (and various other language) subtitles for those who may need them. Also included are the following (very generous) extra features: - Newly Recorded Audio Commentary Featuring Roger Moore - Declassified MI6 Vault - Roger Moore and Hervé Villechaize - The Russell Harty Show - On Location with 'The Man With the Golden Gun' - Guy Hamilton - The Director Speaks - Girls Fighting - American Thrill Show Stunt Film - The Road to Bond: Stunt Coordinator W.J. Milligan Jr. - 007 Mission Control - Interactive Guide into the World of 'The Man With the Golden Gun' - Mission Dossier - Audio Commentary featuring director Guy Hamilton and members of the cast and crew - Inside 'The Man With the Golden Gun' - An Original Documentary - Double-O Stuntmen: A look at the greatest stunts and stunt performances in the Bond films - Ministry of Propaganda - Original Trailers, TV Spots, Photo Gallery and Radio Communications
