Moore's favorite 007 Bond movie ever - Mano E Mano Bond vs Scaramanga
27 March 2021
The Man With The Golden Gun is such an Epic movie in my opinion! I love this movie to death!!!!! This is the second movie that Roger Moore did and My favorite Roger Moore's movie as Bond. When it comes to Roger Moore as James Bond, most people praise "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "For Your Eyes Only." But I prefer The Man with the Golden Gun over The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only. I really enjoy this film I love that all effects are practical and done for real. The explosions, car chases, boat chases. Roger Moore does all his own stunts. I love Karate and martial arts fights in this film. I love mano e mano between Bond his Walther PPK gun and Scaramanga his (Golden Gun) on the finale on Scramanga's island. Mary Goodnight is sexy, hot and fiesty in this movie. I love that Roger Moore kicks one of the bad guy's in Hai Fat's karate school in the face and fights of Chula (Chan Yiu Lam).

Roger Moore with his enthusiasm and charm still did a great job playing his character. In the face of Energy Crisis 1973 Britain still did not fully recover from the crisis. So they made to face the Energy Crisis at that time. Bond 007 once again goes and kicks ass. Bond becomes a target of an assassin called Francisco Scaramanga played by actor Christopher Lee. So Christopher Lee and Ian Fleming were cousins in real life and Christopher Lee said that Francisco Scaramanga was his favorite role he ever played. I love this movie. I have a friend that he consider it, his favorite Roger Moore film and so do I. He said this is his favorite Roger Moore film. I have another co worker that told me that her friend visit the island Phuket Scaramanga Island but is now called James Bond Island. A Scaramanga Island in which Bond and Goodnight escape. I love Scaramanga's Golden gun.

007 is now the target of this known assassin and Scaramanga well know assassin holds A Solex editor unit in his hands. He has a high tech solar plant in possesion. He is planing to sold the plant to the higest binder. He uses Solex editor unit from the sun for his powerful laser weapon. MI6 gives a Bond a mission to get that Solex Editor Unit back, because this was the face energy of the energy crisis. Britain did not overcome the crisis. James Bond on a mission get's assasigned by Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland). The first lead brings him to Beirut later to Hong Kong and meets his contact in Hong Kong, Soon-Tek Oh as Lieutenant Hip. Soon-Tek Oh plays a good guy in this movie, he plays the bad guys in Missing in Action 2: The Beginning and Steel Justice with Martin Kove. Bond brings him to Tailand and to Hai Fat who is Scaramanga's contractor and boss. By the finale Bond brings him self to the island Phuket Phang Nga Bay, Thailand which is bad ass.

Director Guy Hamilton demended that Bond is more a tough guy like in the Ian Fleming novels so Bond had to twist Andrea Anders arm and Roger Moore hated that scene. Moore said that he could use his charm. The other scene Roger Moore hated was that scene in which Bond pushes a boy out of the boat. Roger Moore, Britt Ekland, Christopher Lee and Herve Villechaize did all great job. Actress Britt Ekland was terrified the explosions. That's one of the reasons why I love this movie to death and it is one of my favorite Bond films of all time. Because I love the island Phuket Phang Nga Bay, Thailand I love the explosions. Bond and Goodnight escape from the island that was done for real. Britt Ekland was only in bekini and Roger Moore grabed her while they were running away for their life from the exploding plant that wasn't acting that was real!!!!! They almost got killed Roger Moore felt Ekland's terrified skin and it was for real.

This movie deserves to be called one of the best Bond films it is in my top 10 Favorite Bond films and I consider it a classic that's just me. This is my favorite Roger Moore film, I baged my mom so she asked my aunt to tape me this film on VHS and my aunt did tape me this film and Live and Let Die. I forgot to meantion but I enjoyed the kickbox match in here. I love that it is the face of the energy cirisis and the final shots makes this film more realistic. Even the fights are realistic when Bond bleeds during the fight. Mary Goodnight is one of my favorite Bond girls. I love, love this movie incredible to death! It's shot with camera in a full widescreen presentation. Love this movie to death.

R. I. P. Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Herve Villechaize, Soon-Tek Oh and Richard Loo.
