THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (1974)

GUY HAMILTON

Plot

When a golden bullet arrives at the headquarters of British intelligence with "007" engraved on it, the Brits believe that Bond is the next target for international assassin Scaramanga and 007 is given the assignment to kill Scaramanga before he gets killed. One of Moore's lesser attempts, but with lots of thrills and spills including a spectacular car chase. Lee is the perfect Bond baddie, urbane and suave, yet melodramatic villainous, Britt Ekland flaunts her stuff and the little guy from Fantasy Island is effective as Lee's sidekick.
