Cool government operative James Bond searches for a stolen invention that can turn the sun's heat into a destructive weapon. He soon crosses paths with the menacing Francisco Scaramanga, a hitman so skilled he has a seven-figure working fee. Bond then joins forces with the swimsuit-clad Mary Goodnight, and together they track Scaramanga to a Thai tropical isle hideout where the killer-for-hire lures the slick spy into a deadly maze for a final duel.

Christopher Lee is a good addition as a villain and Nick Nack is a fun henchmen. This is a little too silly.

This is an enjoyable fun movie, not really the most sinister of plots as such; a hitman kind of stumbles on a plan to hold the world hostage for solar power - very very topical at the time it was made. The inclusion of the sunken ship, also very topical at the time it was made. Moore is more whimsical then previously, whilst his Bond Girl [can we say that in metoo times] is pretty useless on any level; she berates him for suggesting she be a one night stand and then immediately changes her mind

Another solid Roger Moore outing that is cementing the Bond vibe in the post Connery era. Will not likely be one I am diving back in to rewatch frequently, but it is quality and glad to see the "formula" is starting to fall in place. Rating: 2.5/5 - 70% - Worth Watching

This is the weakest Bond film in the Roger Moore era by a long shot, but it is definitely leaps and bounds better than Connery's weakest (Thunderball). The weaknesses in this film do lie at Richard Maibaum's feet as he tried his hardest to turn Roger Moore into Sean Connery, but Roger Moore looked visually uncomfortable at times, especially during the scene when he had to slap Maud Adams around. But Christopher Lee does his best to save this film as he seems to be having a lot of fun in every scene he appears. The Bond Girl, Mary Goodnight, is the worst I've ever seen as Mary Goodnight has no reason for being as stupid as she is due to her being an MI6 agent. Also, the theme song is one of the worst I have ever heard as the hard sound doesn't go well with Lulu's vocals and almost makes me think Lulu can't sing when she was probably a fairly talented singer.

Roger Moore returns for the ninth film in the series. Bond gets a golden bullet in the mail with his name on it and takes it to be a threat from Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), an assassin who has a golden gun. Bonds sets off to find him and take him out before Scaramanga does the same to him.

I've known the Moore Bonds were on the sillier side from the couple that I've seen, but I had no idea of the barrel of laughs this one would be. _Moonraker_ was a favorite, though it had the typical problem of being overly long. This one doesn't have that problem, despite not having a plot that riva More

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 c More

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 "gold More
