The Man with the Golden Gun is Roger Moore's second movie as James Bond in which he is pitted against a world first class assassin called Scaramanga who has three trademarks; his working tool is a golden gun, his price is $1m a hit and he has (yikes) three nipples.
Under the belief that he has been marked for assassination by Scaramanga, Bond begins a subtle cat and mouse hunt game to kill his killer first.
Later his personal quest merges with his earlier assignment; to resolve the energy crisis by finding one of their solar scientists.
This movie just like the novel is arguably the weakest in the Bond franchise. It still has some elements of fun though; like Bond's encounter in the karate training school(trust the Bond filmmakers to exploit the current raging movie cliché), a car chase, Bond's fight with a dwarf.
There were several scenes that beggar beliefs.
A "police officer" arrests a "dangerous criminal" like Bond and feels comfortable to holster his gun while enjoying a comfortable ride with Bond in the back.
Scaramanga who spares Bond's life temporarily in order to have a pistol duel with him, unaccountably does the unexpected.
At the beginning of the film, a gunman is inexplicably hired by Scaramanga's man servant to kill Scaramanga.
The plot holes can sink the titanic.
Despite Roger Moore's enjoyable performance and Christopher Lee's chilling performance as the The Man with the Golden Gun, the film just managed to scale the level of being above average.
