Synopsis

Cool government operative James Bond searches for a stolen invention that can turn the sun's heat into a destructive weapon. He soon crosses paths with the menacing Francisco Scaramanga, a hitman so skilled he has a seven-figure working fee. Bond then joins forces with the swimsuit-clad Mary Goodnight, and together they track Scaramanga to a Thai tropical isle hideout where the killer-for-hire lures the slick spy into a deadly maze for a final duel.

Donnie Brunt This is one of the great Bon films. James Bond not only acts for the good of the world and His Majesty, but exceptionally is also out to save his own neck after he is threatened by a nefarious killer. As is usual there is a hottie or two, exotic locations and a 'golden gun.'The acting is top notch and I have to mention the always always impressive Christopher Lee.A good film that proves the saying 'they don't make them like they used to' is completely true. By the way, I am a teenager so not 65 and I still loved it.
jasonlunn27 What a film Roger Moore at his best my favourite Bond girl Maud Adams what a film so funny at times all star cast the sheriff brilliant my childhood Kung fu sexy chicks
leplatypus It was a good surprise for me to discover that this Bond is set in Asia as those faraway locations are really a bit forgotten! Now that i have seen 5 of Moore movies (the other actors don't really interest me, especially grumpy Craig), i finally get the formula: while i expected the franchise to be realistic spy movies, i realize that they are not really serious, especially with Moore attitude! This fact accepted, this one is really interesting: The supporting characters are really original: Goodnight is funny and cute, Lee is great as an expert killer and the dwarf prefigures one of X-men greatest villain, Arcade! The plot, even if highly unbelievable is a change from the world evil. The movie has aged well because it smells good the 70s and we can see the change in those islands! For me, it's one of the best Bond ever and now i have only 2 left to watch: live and let die & Moonraker...
Franp Franp This Bond movie contains an untempered flow of obscenities and sexual content, much more than the average accepted tone of the figure. There is at least a sexual innuendo every two minutes in this movie. Apart that action is bit above the previous Bond. Scenery is great. Of course the plot contains its share of inconsistencies, such as when the villain acquires an industrial empire just by killing it's previous owner ... The villain has a very small staff this time. The intro and conclusion scenes are great. And the whole plot is scientifically half-believable, which is an improvement over the average Bond's. I would definitely not recommend this movie for family viewing but it's not the worst in its genre.
