Customer Reviews of The Man With The Golden Gun (Special Edition)
The Man with the Golden Gun Sorry, but this one probably the series' worst. There are several good things about this movie but some are small. Christopher Lee is one of te best villains of the series along with Walken in A View To a Kill, Shaw in From Russia with Love, Bean in GoldenEye, Celi in Thunderball, and Frobe in Goldfinger as Francisco Scaramanga, a million dolllar hit man. Those are only some of the best though. Maud Adams is excellent as Scaramanga's mistress Andrea Anders, and would have been a much better Bond girl than Britt Ekland. Bringing back J.W. Pepper from Live and Let Die was an okay idea but he is hilarious. The plot was pretty cool. The Orient setting is excellent as is the one in You Only Live Twice. Some of the action is fairly good such as a boat chase through a river in Bangkok with a hilarious scene involving OO7 and a liitle boy. Though it is good, it can't match up to the best boat chase of any OO7 film in Live and Let Die. Others include an entertaing martial arts fight which is too short, and an energetic car chase through the streets of Bangkok that climaxes with an awesome corkscrew flip. Roger Moore gives a strong and steely performance which is beter thanhis debut in Live and Let Die but wouldn't grow completely into the role until the next film in The Spy who Loved Me. That is all for the good things. Britt Ekland is the worst Bond girl of any film and Nick Nack is VERY annoying. The script is also quite weak. The title song is okay as is the score. Though it's probably the worst ofthe Bond bunch, The Man with the Golden Gun is good and worth several watchings.

Everyone has their favourite 007 films, and fans love to champion their favourites while trashing the horrible ones. As a fan I admit The Man With The Golden Gun is not near the top of my list but it's nonetheless a good film. In fact, it's better than the one before it, Live And Let Die.
In Roger Moore's second film as Bond, 007 is seemingly marked by an assasin when a gold bullet with the inscription '007' is sent to M16 Headquarters. It belongs to eccentric recluse, Francisco Scaramanga, an assassin whose weapon is a unique gold pistol. This only makes matters worse for Bond, who must find a device which is used in a machine that draws power from the sun. The 'solex agitator' is supposedly the answer to the world's energy crisis. Britt Ekland as 'Mary Goodnight' is most implausible as a secret agent who's supposed to be helping Bond, yet she's sexy in a helpless and clumsy way. Maud Adams, too is beautiful as Scaramanga's ill-fated lover.
It wouldn't be a Bond film without frenetic car or boat chases and there's plenty here, including a spectacular corkscrew leap by a car over a collapsed bridge, a stunt that is highlighted in the documentary 'making of'.
Even Better Now in STEREO
THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is the "cult" Bond movie to end all "cult" Bond movies. I don't think many people realize that this DVD or even the VHS tape of this movie is in STEREO sound. John Barry's score sounds fantastic. As for the film, it is pure fantasy yet pure "Bond" and very misunderstood.
