Movie Description
James Bond may have met his match in the form of an eccentric assassin., Roger Moore returns as the ever-debonair 007 in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, the ninth film in the James Bond series. The super agent is assigned the task of recovering a valuable piece of technical equipment capable of harnessing the sun's energy. Standing in his way is a number of arch-villains, including a highly successful assassin named Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee). If the gold bullet etched with the number “007” that the MI6 recently discovered is any indication, Sacaramanga’s next target just may be the British spy himself. As the diminutive Nick Nack, Herve Villechaize takes his spot in the pantheon of villainous Bond-film henchmen that also includes Jaws and Oddjob, and the luscious Britt Ekland delivers in spades as the bikini-clad Mary Goodnight.
Synopsis
The usual gadgets and stunts take a back seat to humor in this installment of the popular spy series. Superagent 007 is pulled from a missing persons case in order to track down a legendary hit man using custom-made golden bullets to silence his targets. Lately the sniper has been stirring up a lot of trouble on the world scene, and Bond goes after him with an arsenal of wit, innuendo, and double entendres. But once he unearths the murderer's clandestine Hong Kong lair, our hero discovers that the two cases are hopelessly intertwined -- and connected to a dastardly plot for world domination.
