THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
I really love the Bondless PTS.
NICK NACK! TOBASCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end standing straight up in profile, Christopher Lee looks a bit like the letter "L"
brought to you by Sesame Street.
You'll be the death of me yet, Nick Nack.
The titles are among my favorites. Often overlooked, especially compared to the brilliant tiles for LALD. However I find them pretty erotic.
The final time, if I'm not mistaken, we see the red leather padded door to M's office. From the next film on wards it would be brown, blue (in LTK) or maroon (in SP). Maybe it was brown in SP? I'll pop that one in sometime just to check. The colors on that film are so off, it's probably impossible to tell, anyway.
Bond swallows the bullet. Had that happened to the Moore of the later years, he'd make the OOHHHHHHHRRROOHHHH sound. I love this fight. Reminds me of The Saint and we actually see Roger's Bond bloodied here.
Christopher Lee to this day remains my all time favorite actor. Been so since I was about 8 years old. I used to rank this film at the bottom, but it's really climbed it's way up in the last 20 years.
James it's wonderful to see you.
Bond doesn't seem that interested in Goodnight. Britt's an underrated Bond girl, IMO. I think she's great here.
The Andrea Anders interrogation scene. Does seem a bit like trying to turn Roger into Sean.
Great line. Followed by Roger's wonderful facial expression. Bond dissed.
Hope you didn t shoot someone as well.
My appreciation for this film grew substantially with that viewing.
Britt's WTF expression is priceless when Pepper grabs the walkie talkie.
Now you call my wife at the Narai Hotel and tell her I'm on a mission! I've been deputized!
The slide whistle has never bothered me.
If this car chase hadn't been so obnoxious with Pepper and taken seriously, then I'd feel the whistle was out of place.
Bond attempts some sneaky Bond when Pepper shouts "Let go get 'em, boy!!!"
Roger's "shut the f*** up" expression is great.
Christopher Lee is the epitome of cool in his plane. I think I'll make this a Christopher Lee night. Popping in a Hammer Dracula later.
Roger's jacket as he arrives on Scaramanga's island looks like something Jim Rockford would wear.
My peanut toting friend back there wouldn't like it.
I must say that was an excellent viewing of GOLDEN GUN. I remember my Dad renting this one when i was in 5th grade. At that point it was the only Bond film I hadn't seen and thus completed the series for me. I liked it a lot at the time in spite of most of the Bond film books ranking it so low. As far as I was concerned anything with Christopher lee was automatically elevated by his presence.
A very charismatic actor, with a magnetic screen presence. And among those who were offered the role of Dr No. Would have been interesting to see, although Wiseman was perfect.
And they wanted Jack Palance for Scaramanga, who would have been interesting, but Lee is perfect in the role!
Yes, but still a shame we never got Palance as a Bond villain.
He could have played a wide variety of villains. Could have been a great Dr No as well with his slightly oriental features. He did play the son of Genghis Khan in the excellent The Mongols.
Some of the films he did during the '70s really varied in quality. I find MISTER SCARFACE (1977). for example difficult to get thru. Therefore, a Bond film with Palance at that time would have been great.
I could see him as Scaramanga, Stromberg, Kristatos or General Orlov.
IMO Jack Palance could do no wrong.
Would also have made a great Red Grant or Blofeld.
Indeed. Imagine him as Blofeld going up against Sean in DIAMONDS. That would have been something.
Oh man, that clone scene would have been so creepy. Or as Grant if they had followed the lycanthropic theme from the book.
He certainly had the build for Grant. I can see him barely flinching when being hit in the gut with brass knuckles. He'd probably grin afterwards.
Dirty love!
Agreed. Plan on watching it on Sunday as it's my birthday!! Possibly it and TLD, classic double bill
The two guys talking in the surveillance plane - there's something off about how they speak.
Lupe and her little Valentine are fast asleep. You'd think after they do their thing, they'd split asap.
Sanchez knew the helicopter was after him, he should've done some fancy maneuvers to avoid being reeled in.
The title track is one of my favourites. It is special to me, as it was the first time I experienced anything Bond. I had a cassette back in 1990 which featured Ninja Turtles and other movie themes from that time. The inlay card didn't say the Gladys Knight song was from a James Bond film. All I knew was the song was from a film called Licence to Kill. I wouldn't officially discover Bond until nearly five years later, in early 1995, through watching the films on TV.
The title sequence here is simple; colourful. I'm not a fan of the most recent two, as they seem too dark and cluttered.
The sound effects for the film proper starts a few seconds early, cutting off the end of the song. I never liked that transition, it feels too rushed - especially after the first verse of the song was already cut out.
Della's very attractive. There's some great pictures of Barnes on the net.
Sanchez offers two million to whoever will help him escape. Hawkins watches Killifer to see how he reacts.
In the warehouse, Dario plays soccer with Felix' jacket.
