Review of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) by Drew K — 15 Feb 2010
If it wasn't for Roger's 1st outing in Live and Let Die, then this would be my favorite from him. Despite what everyone says, this Bond film was great. The locations were good. The girls were casted perfectly.
And my god, Christopher Lee as Scaramanga was a class A+ terrific villain. The best one in the series perhaps! Roger Moore vs. Christopher Lee! Now thats just cinema gold! The duel between them is great with suspense written all over it! Anyway moving one, before I have a seizure.
Q finally returns and so does Sheriff Pepper who brings along the comedy. Nick Nack an odd choice for a henchman but it works well. All in all another Bond adventure that is great entertainment. Sadly this film would mark the end of the partnership between Broccoli and Saltzman, who started the series together.
Broccoli would continue to run the series from now on.
