The man with the golden gun

The man with the golden gun

Roger Moore stars once again as 007. 1974. Director: Guy Hamilton.

Fransisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) is called "The man with the golden gun". He's an assassin who's paided one million for each murder. And he never fails.
Bond (Roger Moore) receives a golden bullet with '007' etched into its surface. MI6 believes that Scaramanga is going to kill Bond, and has sent a bullet to scare him.
To find Scaramanga, Bond travel to Macau and a gunsmith who makes Scaramanga's golden bullets. Bond persuades the man to tell him where he can find the person who get the bullets when the gunsmith goes to give them to Scaramanga.

The person getting the bullets is the beautiful Andrea (Maud Adams). Bond follows her to a hotel where he hurts her until she tells him what Scaramanga looks like and where he can find the man. Andrea tells him in pain.
Bond is standing in the shadow to see Scaramanga is he shows up. Bond fails, and sees a man named Gibson being shot on the street outside a bar. A dwarf called Nick Nack (Hervé Villechaize) steels a thing from the dead body, without Bond noticing what.
They later find out that the dwarf stole a thing called Solex. The Solex can make strong energy of the sun's light, and can be used in different ways. Bond is sent to Scaramanga's private island to get the Solex back. The not very smart Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland) is going to help him, but gets kidnapped. Another reason to go the Scaramanga.
Exiting, fun and filled with good action. The only thing which is bad, is that Christopher Lee's Scaramanga doesn't seems like a threat. He's polite and so, and doesn't make you scared of him. Except from that, this is a great, entertaining movie.
