Errors in geography: The flying car is supposedly found "200 miles west of Bangkok", which would put it somewhere off the coast of Burma. Also, the island they are head for is said to be about eight hours' sail from Hong Kong, at least 1,000 miles from Bangkok in the other direction. more

Roger Moore's Second Bond Movie..., 6 December 2005
7/10
Author: David Elias (David181920) from Guatemala City, Guatemala

After the rather disappointing Live and Let Die, Roger Moore is back in action. This time, his enemy is Francisco Scaramanga, AKA "The Man With The Golden Gun", a paid assassin who "charges a million a shot" and who supposedly has got an eye on Bond. Very original. After a golden bullet with "007" carved on it is sent to MI6's headquarters, James Bond goes after the suspect, Scaramanga. With "help" from one of the hottest (and dumbest) bond-girls, Mary Goodnight, Bond finds himself chasing Scaramanga and his henchman Nick-Nack to Hong Kong to recover the Solex, an invaluable item that Scaramanga possesses. A lot of action, great stunts and corny one-liners make this a decent film, Moore's second of 7. By now, he had already made the character his own. Definitely something you won't want to miss!
