James Bond movies have always
been associated with beautiful
women, nasty villians and a cool
secret agent who went by the code
name 007. While these have not
changed, James Bond is not the
same spy he was ten years ago.
Roger Moore has taken over the
James Bond role from Sean Con
nery and he has changed the Bond
image. Guy Hamilton the director
of the most recent Bond movie, has
changed the movie’s style. The
movies have changed from those di
rected by Terence Young in the Six
ties.
“The Man With The Golden
Gun” seems to be a tongue-in-cheek
treatment of every other James
Bond movie, except “Live and Let
Die, Moore’s first appearance as
007. Moore is a playboy with a gun
who is constantly being out maneu
vered by his adversaries. He lacks
the cool, very British exterior of his
predecessor.
The rest of the British Secret Ser
vice, however, makes Moore look
good. Headquartered aboard the
half-sunken hulk of the Queen
Elizabeth, they bumble about in
bureaucratic confusion.
Ironically, the best acting is by
the bad guys. Bond’s chief adver
sary is Francisco Scaramanga, a pro
fessional assassin with a gold plated
gun. Christopher Lee, a veteran of
many forgetable vampire movies,
does an excellent job as
Scaramanga, almost becoming a
nicer guy than Bond. His servant is
a midget named Nik-Nak who is an
engaging character.
Bond and Scaramanga shoot it out
on a one-to-one basis unlike most
Bond films where 007 took on whole
organizations.
The cat and mouse game they
play take them to such exotic places
as Hong Kong and Thailand. In
every contemporary “Good guy
versus Bad guy” film there is a boat
chase through the canals of Bangkok

several bad puns that would never
have appeared in earlier Bond
movies. The overall quality of the
James Bond movie has fallen since
the days when they were directed
by I erence Young. The action lags
until the last half of the movie, and
we can only take Bond’s own words
to heart, ‘You’ll forgive me if I’m a
little slow on the uptake. ”
