Review of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) by Charles S — 29 Dec 2015

Guy Hamilton's fourth Bond flick sees Roger Moore return to the screen to seduce chicks and take on a triple-nippled Christopher Lee. This time accompanied by an oh-so-Blonde detective named 'Goodnight', who can't quite decide on her character's principles or nationality.

Glamorous Asian locations and some good old fashioned (if a little racist) punch-ups help get us through two hours of tosh about solar panels and MacGuffins. Both are occasionally sidestepped in favour of ill-judged comic relief involving a either a dwarf or a Louisianan sheriff with a dodgy jaw.

Highs include Christopher Lee, his crazy funfair lair, and a couple of car chase sequences which evoke a real sense of pre-CGI danger. Lows include the gibberish plot, spacey acting, low level racism and every second of screen time for Britt Ekland's 'Goodnight'.
