THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN | "A duel between titans.”

50 years ago today (April 18) principal photography began on THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. In this scene, Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) and James Bond (Roger Moore) discuss a duel.
Scaramanga: "A duel between titans. My golden gun against your Walther PPK. Each of us with a 50-50 chance."
Bond: "Six bullets to your one?"
Scaramanga: "I only need one."

[@WH250398]

Actually one of the best villains of the series.

[@TheMonkeygoneape]

well ya Bond was literally based off of Christopher Lee

[@HappyArchaeology-mm4ng]

Great Bond movie.

[@michaelschramm1064]

This is one instance where Christopher Lee’s Scaramanga is FAR more interesting than what Ian Fleming created for his lackluster final novel.

[@jeffn4836]

Considering how dangerous and trained of a man Christopher Lee was, I’d bet on his 1 bullet. Dude was a legend

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

Mr. Scaramanga was such a character, one of the most memorable villains of the series.

Francisco scaramanga

[@AndreasWernerReiske-ln4kr]

Christopher Lee -- one of the greatest actors ever!!

[@artdarnell]

He had the most unique voice

[@TK-Nightfire-141]

Before he became Count Dooku. Christopher Lee is the man!

[@Captain-Buzzsaw]

Count Dracula also

[@HarmonSokar]

the real man with the golden gun

[@KennethEd]

The Man With The Golden Gun gets a lot of crap, but this particular scene holds up against the best of Bond. Among Moore’s best moments for sure.

[@jacobmccandles1767]

Roger Moore's Bond should get more crap than it does. He far more resembles the Corny ham-handed Lazenby Bond, than he does the cool and quiet competence of the Connery original.

The Man With the Golden Gun, great Bond Movie

[@SilverSurfer5150]

Lee, a brilliant actor.

[@ColtonRMagby]

He charges $1,000,000.00 per SHOT. Bond does NOT.

[@4879daniel]

Amazing what Bond was willing to do for civil service pay

[@ColtonRMagby]

@@4879daniel Including bring back ONLY the steering wheel.

[@Ahping2012]

Before he become saruman

[@AdamusPrime24]

"There's a useful four-letter word...and you're full of it."

[@marcosbacaro8686]

Sensancional esses dous atores juntos!!! Duas feras!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@user-eb1uw7yy9r]

Christopher Lee’s real life is more fascinating than any character he ever played.An amazing true life story.

[@quantumchang4410]

Roger Moore was and still remains to be the most handsome of all the Bonds.

[@AlexLopez-re1pm]

LOOKING AT HIM, IM EXPECTING POINTED FANGS TO BE SHOWING AS HE IS TALKING. HE WAS THE BEST DRACULA EVER, AND GAVE ME MANY CHILDHOOD NIGHTMARES BACK THEN....

[@farishanafiah8461]

It's still hard for me to believe that Christopher Lee is actually related to Ian Fleming and Lee was onced on the card to be 007.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Christopher Lee was the literal embodiment of “Completed all the main objectives, just doing side quests now” The man did absolutely everything you could imagine!

[@TheMonkeygoneape]

on the card for 007? Christopher Lee literally was 007 during wwii

[@johnlloyddy7016]

I love this Bond movie for the flying car and the hobbit from Fantasy Island, Herve.

[@MrLobo1024]

And Bond shot him with just one bullet.

[@thesegacampgamerandwerecam7504]

My God and this must have been around the Time Christopher Lee was Dracula during Hammer Horror Era! in a way here Christopher Lee can come off being Terrifying here!

[@climatechangelumber5480]

Yes of course, the bad guy claims it's a 50 50 chance. Yes Mr bad guy, I believe in you

[@Captain-Buzzsaw]

6'5" and a cape of over 50lb I think

[@davidnicholas8876]

Thanks You Bond,for a job well done..the madafaka murdered the stunning Mrs Adams

[@maxgalarza9955]

I was shocked with the scene of the Thai fight when Bond meets Mrs Adams corpse in the audience.

[@MrMann0123]

The real Bond, Christopher Lee

[@jacobmccandles1767]

"Because Christopher F***ing Lee, of course!"

[@AntonioMiller-ic9so]

Still a classic

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

I love Christopher Lee. Ultimate bad guy, played good great too. You actually felt Scaramonga had a chance.

[@forwardobserver2048]

Had an opportunity to buy a Walther PPK in Vietnam for 50 bucks, but I didn’t care for the weapon

[@Cbcw76]

Also with the return of the Louisiana sheriff-! Wheee

[@ThelostAdult]

John Wick ..! Chapter 4

[@thebigz3786]

The only man who could outshine bond was one of the men who fleming based bond off of. I hope if they ever make another ministry of ungentlemanly warfare movie, someone plays christopher lee.

[@voiceofreason9238]

A PPK in .380 only holds six rounds?

[@Iamworthy]

I am the next Bond....James Bond

[@user-cr5yy4te3i]

i hope that the "James Bond" syndicate got some royalties on Walther sales......What a cachet for your brand name.

[@carlosmagnodealmeida9500]

007 vs The Real 007.

[@sammaloney3114]

James Bond vs the man who inspired James Bond

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I wish Lee had been Blofeld instead.

[@Bikewithlove]

Seamless loop

The best Daniel Craig

[@jangisslen292]

Scaramunga needs invisiliners.
