Thin and obvious Bond extravaganza with conventional expensive excitements.

Gets off to a rocky start thanks to a nose-wrinkling emphasis on Christopher Lee's nipples, a dull opening scene and the lousiest theme song in the entire series . . . but once Sir Rog takes the screen and is actually allowed off the sound stage and on to some visually interesting locations, this Bond picks up well. Lee manages to make a dull part interesting, even if his defeat is too perfunctory. A minor entry in the series that comes at a bad time.

I've never seen this film. Nor do I want to. But because of this film, the Golden Gun in Goldeneye exists, and my brother camps the fuck out of it. It's so fucking annoying. For this reason alone, I justify my ranking.

Mistakes - 1) The camera crew are seen in a reflection in the mirror in a fight scene. 2) A cameraman is seen in a reflection in a shower scene.

Highly underrated. I loved it, at least.

This film probably contributes to a lot of your perception of the Bond films, what with the gorgeous locations, gorgeous girls and not-so gorgeous dialogue. As usual, it is worth seeing if you haven't seen it before.

Awesome Bond movie

It's a Moore film where the campiness works for it, not against it. The director outright says "fuck it, this is a joke" when they play the slide-whistle during the corkscrew stunt. The Man With The Golden Gun is helped enormously by having Christopher Lee and a rabid midget as the villains; Lee distills the goofiness like a fine wine. What's produced are some of the most surreal moments of the Bond franchise.
