    You'll lose track of the why's; just know that Bond must duel with a highly trained assassin. (Christopher Lee at the height of his villian powers.)

    Roger Moore proves that a person other than Sean Connery can play James Bond more than once. The Man with the Golden Gun (Christopher Lee) is the best assassin in the world commanding one million dollars a hit and he's set his sights on 007. The plot of Scaramanga's (Lee) admirat...( read more)ion becomes wrapped with the films MacGuffin, a device that will make solar power cost effective.

    The plot is simpler than most Bond films. There really isn't an over the top world domination scene until the last ten minutes and even then it's not a huge scheme at all. The film is mainly wrapped around these two assassins who are the same, yet different. Both seem to show admiration to eachother. Lee plays one of the most suave Bond villains to date. He doesn't really seem a bad bad guy at all. Maud Adams plays Lee's mistress who seems essential to the plot, yet ends up disposable in a role where she doesn't really do much. Britt Eckland plays good night, Bond's contact in China and provides some very poor comic relief as the dumb blonde. One mustn't forget the true villain in this film, the excessivly evil Knick Knack played by Herve Villechaize. He's just a creepy guy throughout the film.

    The film is like a scaled down Bond flick with a good story and excellent casting in the form of Christopher Lee as the title character. A real treat.

    As Bond films go, maybe this isn't the best of the lot, but, hey, it deserves points for giving us ROGER MOORE in another good turn as James Bond. Moore had already perfected this kind of hero in his "The Saint" roles on TV, whereby he had some quick one-liners as he outwitted va...( read more)rious enemies. He's doing the same here as Bond and doing nicely in the action scenes as an additional requirement.

    There are the usual car chases (very colorful one through the streets of Bangkok), the usual assortment of dangerous females with BRETT EKLUND being the dominant one, the usual gadgets to be used in a fight to the finish, and the usual spectacular stunts (this time one involving an almost unbelievable leap in a car), and the usual villains standing in the way of order and justice.

    I have no complaints about this one. ROGER MOORE was always very acceptable as James Bond and seemed to get better with each film. This was only his second time out as Bond and he did improve later on--but that's no reason to complain, as others have done. Just sit back, relax and enjoy another Bond fantasy/adventure done in stylish ways and with CHRISTOPHER LEE as Scaramanga, the main baddie.

    Really enjoyable Bond film and great to see Sheriff JW Pepper again. Many didn't like Moore bringing a sense of humour to the role but I loved it.

    A bit silly as far as Bond films go, but Christopher Lee is a delight.

    Guy Hamilton, who is no stranger to directing James Bond films, comes through with another good adventure in The Man with the Golden Gun.

    After a successful introduction that sets up the villain, Scaramanga, and provides a taste of the conclusion, the story becomes clear

    ...( read more) that an assassin wants to take out James Bond. So, Bond sets out to find him first. This may sound like a letdown, however this does play out like a typical James Bond film. It has action, Bond investigations, and Bond girls. There is also more to the story than meets the eye.

    At just over 2 hours, it takes a while before the big action to hit. There is some mediocre martial arts near the halfway point and a notable car chase later on.

    Roger Moore has no problem with the Bond character and Christopher Lee is a good enough villain. The real stars of the show go to the supporting cast; Herve Villechaize is entertaining as Nick Nack and Soon-Tek Oh is a suitable supporting agent for Bond. The beautiful Britt Ekland and Maud Adams are the Bond girls, Goodnight and Andrea Anders respectively. It's hard to complain when Britt is in a bikini for the final 30 minutes of this picture.

    In the end, The Man with the Golden Gun is another watchable entry in the Bond lineup. "Miss Anders, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on."

    It was a very good film.It was about the actor Roger Moore who acted James Bond and he was a spyer. A lady tried to stop one car and the man put her in the boot. so Roger Moore chased the car and then the police came and everything it was a very good movie.

    So today I saw it...( read more) for the second time on tele this film just gets better with every viewing I really enjoyed it this time around.

    I gave it 4.5 stars but now I'm enjoying the film so much I think this film as a action is a masterpiece for the genre this is in.

    I really didn't want this film to end I enjoyed the police chases and all the storyline with the flying car was very well done.

    Everyone who created this film had an awful lot of imagination to beable to come up with a storyline that was this good.

    And the ending was just as good with the boat.I now want to see this film again yes this film was that good its just addictive and is one of my favourite James Bond films I really can't decide between this and Casino Royale with which is the best because they are both good and its hard to compare these two movies.

    Overall this is a classic it starts off positive and it ends positive.This film as some unique acting that is done very strongly and it just entertains you throughout.All audiance that is a fan of James Bond really will enjoy this film this film goes wrong in no way and it is a masterpiece and I should of notticed this before now.
