THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN | “I’m now aiming precisely at your groin…”

The irony here was Moore was terrified of guns and not without good reason. While doing national service a gun he was shooting exploded on him. According to Moore every time he fired a gun on film he was always wincing claiming he was always annoying the editors who fixed his films.

Moore's 007 was best in his early Bond films. Had a degree of ruthlesness and coldness which gradually faded over time.

Definitely. It's a shame he lost that really because the fact that he could be so effortlessly suave and disarming one minute then completely cold and merciless the next before going back again is really quite chilling to watch.

[@trifleneurotic]

Octopussy? Perhaps, but I concur with this one wholeheartedly. There was an intensity and fire that reflected the importance of the mission to him, even causing him to some less-than-savory things like slapping the sh*t out of Maud Adams' character. His performance in For Your Eyes Only also was great (IMHO anyway).

[@JamesBondCanada]

Some great acting in them.

[@David-281]

Octopussy is so underrated! The only reason it ranks low is because the fans dont look at it properly. It has everything! Great villain, awesome henchmen, great girl, beautiful locales, amazing stunt work, a great plot, tense fight scenes and much more! It has goofy moments but on the other side it has one of the most dark and realistic plots in the series! When Bond confronts Orlov and the entire train and Germany sequence is as serious as Roger‘s Bond gets. FYEO and Octopussy are both very serious movies for Roger

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Could be in the original sound mix, but somehow I doubt it. Clips from the official Bond KZbin channel tend to use the modern soundtrack remixes, and a lot of the sound effects were replaced with more modern sounding versions. That very well may be one of them.

[@wilverbal]

​@@horrorfanandy4647I'm sorry to hear that. I can't stand it when they change the sounds. Movies should be left as they were when released, not changed.

@@horrorfanandy4647 Are you sure it was that? There's a clip from Batman '89 where Joker's goons capturing the entire Gotham mafia uses that sound too.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

@@UltimaKeyMaster I couldn't say without cross-comparing the film's original Mono with the 5.1 mix. But, I am fairly sure it's new for two reasons, one being that the 007 channel, for uniformity, uploads film clips with their modern sound remixes (just listen to the sound of the Attack on Piz Gloria in OHMSS, which sounds _very_ different to the original, with altered music cue placement and new gunshot sound effects etc) because the original optical soundtracks weren't Stereo, whereas later films in the series are. Secondly, (and more importantly) it just doesn't sound like a genuine sound effect from a 70's Bond film. It has too much (note the very distinct lack of any hiss despite how loud it is compared to the dialogue, not what you might expect for a 50 year old film) clarity, it's very high compared to the rest of the mix, which is of course to emphasise it, but even so. I think it's new, it sounds more modern. The sound effect itself may not be that new, but I don't think it's 50 years old like the film is. Just a somewhat educated guess on my part, I could be completely wrong.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@@horrorfanandy4647 I honestly would've thought it was just earlier decade bad sound balancing and never thought anything of it, and given I recognize the games the sound is used in, I really should be able to recognize if it was in there before, but I guess me not having watched too many of the Moore movies all the way through without just youtube clips I don't entirely remember.

Something that I always found interesting about this movie is that Bond had become notorious in the criminal underworld. His exploits against SPECTRE had made him infamous. The gunsmith was eager to make something for him and Scaramanga wanted to kill him to secure his legacy.

A secret agent vs a high dollar assassin. Not to mention the beautiful island that was "Scaramangas lair" that was also a brothel when not being used a film set..

Marne Maitland, who plays Lazar here, was a British-Indian actor who played supporting roles in many films. (“Bhowani Junction,” “Nine Hours To Rama,” and “Khartoum” are just some examples.) One of the many problems with this Bond film was not making better use of its supporting cast, including Maitland, Soon Teck-Oh and Richard Loo; not to mention its misuse of Christopher Lee! Having a tighter, more suspenseful script, greater tension between Moore and Lee, and better developed characters, would have made such an improvement! A better director certainly would have helped. So would leaving out Britt Ekland and Clifton James! Bond himself was poorly developed; one minute he’s beating up a woman, the next he’s getting knocked about by a dwarf. (And Moore’s ‘70s fashions - including that safari jacket - really date the film!) With regard to quality, this film had nowhere to go but up!
