4.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the most undervalued Bond of them all, 3 Nov 2008
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
The Man With the Golden Gun was producer Harry Saltzman's last hurrah before selling out his share in the Bond series to United Artists to ensure the maximum inconvenience to his detested partner Cubby Broccoli. It's certainly not premium Bond: at times it threatens to turn into an episode of The Avengers, what with Scaramanga's funhouse, his midget servant Nick Nack, its human statues or the off-kilter angles of MI6's Hong Kong HQ located in the rusting wreck of the Queen Elizabeth, not to mention Roger Moore's more Steed-like Bond. Although there are hints of the lows to come in Moore's tenure - Bond being saved by a pair of schoolgirls or defeating a villain by pretending to be a tailor's dummy - this is still recognisable an old-school Bond film, with thankfully few gadgets, although it's disappointing that the producers provide Scaramanga with an island lair and super-weapon to give Bond something to blow up at the end (a rather half-hearted effort to be sure: instead of a private army, Scaramanga simply has Herve Villachaize and a maintenance man). Britt Ekland's irritating `typical silly woman' comic relief was a bit hard to take in 1974 and gets worse with each passing year, but Christopher Lee's Scaramanga is one of the more interesting Bond villains, not least because of his imagined empathy with his prey - he regards himself as Bond's moral and professional equal, the kind of pathological snobbery Fleming's books were full of but the films increasingly abandoned.

Unlike many of the repackaged 2-disc `Ultimate Editions,' this is a fairly substantial upgrade from the original single-disc issue, carrying over all of the original features and adding plenty more - a new commentary by Roger Moore, behind the scenes footage, interview with director Guy Hamilton and an amusingly cheesy extract from a British TV interview with Moore and Villachaize. The only disappointment is that the deleted Molotov Cocktail sequence from Bond and Scaramanga's duel that featured heavily in the teaser trailers has not been located and included.

2.0 out of 5 stars Junk Bond No. 4, 28 Jun 2009
By Matthew Mercy (Wigan, England) - See all my reviews
Roger Moore's second film in the series is possibly the very worst; like Diamonds Are Forever, it forsakes plot logic and any attempts at realism for low-brow comedy, daft homage to other movies (in this case, dire 1970s' Kung-Fu flicks), and pointless travelogue. Christopher Lee is a reasonably good villain (though his performance here as the triple-nippled assassin of the title is far from a stretch for him) and Lulu's theme song is an underrated piece of 1970s' funk, but overall this is a silly and pointless film, that deservedly failed to set the box office on fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moore's classy bond continues , 26 Dec 2008
With the best bond movie (in my opinion) over I was nervous that the next one would be dissapointing but was I wrong yes. What a follow up Moore is very impressive in this as bond giving a great performance as does the rest of the cast. Christopher Lee is a memorable baddie as Scaramanger two brilliant bond girls B.Ekland and M.Adams and the action is excellent with possibly the most memorable car jump ever. Overall I loved this and Moore continued his great bond.
