The Man with the Golden
Gun (1974)
Directed by Guy
Hamilton the 9th film in the series stars Roger Moore,
Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland and Maud Adams. Bond travels to the far
East to take on an assassin who views himself as the ultimate hit
man.
The plot of this film
has little in common with the novel it shares a name with and is
fairly average but passable. There is some mileage to the premise of
Bond facing off against his opposite and equal but this is not really
capitalised on. While the previous film was heavily influenced by
blaxploitation this film has an influence of kung fu films but
manages to do so without the racist overtones of the previous film.
3/5
