Roger Moore delivers a strong performance as always, in this movie, which was his second outing as James Bond.
It’s good to see the return of JW Pepper, the funny sheriff from the previous Bond movie, Live And Let Die, making some funny appearances this time while on holiday with his wife. Just like last time, Clifton James does a fantastic job in the role of Sheriff JW Pepper here.
The main baddies in this movie are Francisco Scaramanga (played quite well by Christopher Lee) and his unforgettable midget henchman-come-butler Nick Nack played very well by Hervé Villechaize.
The lead female in this movie is Britt Ekland who plays Mary Goodnight, and the next main woman is Maud Adams who plays Andrea Anders. They’re both Swedish models, and both do a fair job here. Maud Adams returns as the lead female in Octopussy, even though she was killed off in this movie.
The mirrored maze of a duelling room within Scaramanga’s secret island lair was probably inspired by the secret mirrored room on Han’s island in Enter The Dragon which was released in 1973, just 1 year prior to this movie being released.
I rate The Man With The Golden Gun as an OK movie. Not quite as good as Live And Let Die but not far off. Pretty standard for an old James Bond flick.
