Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The British spy with a licence to kill takes on his dark underworld double, a classy assassin who kills with golden bullets at £1 million a hit. Roger Moore, in his second outing as James Bond, meets Christopher Lee's Scaramanga, one of the most magnetic villains in the entire series, in this entertaining but rather wan entry in the 007 sweepstakes. Bond's globetrotting search takes him to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and finally China, where Scaramanga turns his island retreat into a twisted theme park for a deadly game of wits between the gunmen, moderated by Scaramanga's diminutive man Friday Nick Nack (Fantasy Island's Hervé Villechaize). Britt Ekland does her best as an embarrassingly inept Bond girl, a clumsy, dim agent named Mary Goodnight who looks fetching in a bikini, while Maud Adams is Scaramanga's tough but haunted lover and assistant. Clifton James, the redneck sheriff from Live and Let Die, makes an ill-advised appearance as a racist tourist. He briefly teams up with 007 in what is otherwise the film's highlight, a high-energy chase through the crowded streets of Bangkok that climaxes with a breathtaking mid-air corkscrew jump. Bond and company are let down by a lazy script, but Moore balances the overplayed humour with a steely performance and Lee's charm and enthusiasm makes Scaramanga a cool, deadly, and thoroughly enchanting adversary. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com


Synopsis

Roger Moore stars as 007 in this ninth James Bond film. He is assigned the task of recovering a piece of equipment which is capable of harnessing the sun's rays.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Bond actor starring in one of the best Bond films!, 7 Feb 2005
By Mr. C. Gore "C.G." (Wigan, Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Man With The Golden Gun [DVD] [1974] (DVD)
The suave super cool Roger Moore returns for a second outing as James Bond in what has to be one of the best bond films in the series. The film has all the right ingredients: the best actor portraying Bond, glamourous girls, a great villian (also one of the best in the series), fantastic locations and a script which keeps you on the edge of your seat!!! What more could you ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, 22 April 2001
By A Customer
This Bond film is by far the best. Roger Moore once more does great as Bond and Christopher Lee does well as Scaramanga. The end sequence is one of the most memorable in the Bond history

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, exotic Bond, 28 Feb 2001
By A Customer
The second Roger Moore movie in the series shows less humour than the previous one (they didn't leave as much freedom to screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz!), and is rather weak plotwise, but it's a good entertainment. Direction is stylish (also thanks to the weird and exotic locations in the Far East), and Moore is a bit tougher than usual. Maud Adams is lovely, and Britt Ekland attractive. Biggest complaint: the awful title song!!!
